Read MoreSmoke Tester
SmokeSabre is a major step forward in the design of aerosol smoke detector testers. All other pressurised aerosol smoke alarm testers have the inherent drawback that, if used too close to the detector, they leave harmful residue on the casing and / or inside the chamber of the detector. This residue can discolour the casing, can attract dust, affect sensitivity and, in some cases, lead to corrosion, cracking or even complete failure of the detector. SmokeSabre inhibits use too close to the detector and eliminates harmful residue while focussing and targeting the canned smoke test gas. When SmokeSabre is in the closed position the sabre prevents access to the spray button. You can spray only when the sabre is fully extended. In use, air is drawn through the holes in the sabre and this, coupled with the venturi effect involved, assists the velocity and vaporisation process of the airborne ‘smoke’ particles. The result is a more effective test, delivering better detector activation, using less gas per test, and reducing costs while eliminating harmful residue. SmokeSabre is a universal test product covering the sensitivity range of all smoke detectors (see particle size comparison chart). The extending sabre is made of 100% biodegradable plastic making SmokeSabre the only smoke detector test aerosol to be both recyclable and eco-friendly*. SmokeSabre is UL listed, meets global testing standards, and is approved by major smoke detector manufacturers. ADVANTAGES • More tests per can • Faster detector activation and clearing • Lowest cost per test • The end of harmful residue – risk is designed out with the sabre • Silicon free testing • Eco-responsibility – 100% bio-degradable sabre, ozone friendly, no CFCs and GWP free propellant* • Detector manufacturer endorsement and UL Listing • 150ml can Using SmokeSabre Testing with SmokeSabre aids compliance with codes and standards globally. “Point smoke detectors should be functionally tested by a method that confirms that smoke can enter the detector chamber and produce a fire alarm signal (e.g.: by use of apparatus that generates simulated smoke or suitable aerosols around the detector). It should be ensured that the material used does not cause damage to, or affect the subsequent performance of, the detector…” BS5839 1: 2002; 45.4 (D) “…the detectors shall be tested in place to ensure smoke entry into the sensing chamber and an alarm response.” NFPA 72 Chapter 10 (10.4.2.2 3g) SmokeSabre inhibits use too close to the detector and eliminates harmful residue while focussing and targeting the canned smoke test gas.

Read MoreOverload Relay
2001-E is a three poles magnetic type relay with adjustable dashpot. This versatile model has been professionally designed to cater for the needs of circuit breaker and motor overload protection. The three single phase operation coils are directly connected to the load circuit. Under overload condition, the drag of pistons in the dashpot taken place and rise up to trip the switch assembly. 2001-E is designed with ease-of-use and practicality in mind. Current settings can be easily adjusted by screwing the dashpot up or down within its support and are indicated by the arrows on the calibration plate. Time delay is adjusted by changing the different sized holes on the aluminium plate in the piston assembly. This relay can be set up for manual or automatic reset. To change from manual to auto reset mode, simply unscrew screw ‘A’, remove spacer, press and hold RESET button until the screw is tightened. TRIP / TIME CHARACTERISTICS Specifications Technical...
