Vince8282 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 drive your car onto the landing and leave the engine running? You don't need to go that far. I've been called to the occasional activation that was caused by sub starting his 4 by 4 on his drive then going back in the house to pick up his whatever leaving the front door open and allowing the fumes from his exhaust to enter.He then shuts the door and drives off. He gets half way down his road and sees the fire engine coming the opposite way completly oblivious to what has happened until he gets a call from CS telling him to go back home and make the guys a cup of tea or words to that effect. Practice in the morning, practice at night. Practice in the evening, until you get it right. Only make sure you are practising in the right way at the right time for it.

arfur mo Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Smokes: tinned smokeHeats: Hairdryer. The heat attachment for the Solo tester looks more professional but costs mega bucks. Reasons are fairly obvious I think. i'm just curious as i've always wondered about how do you test those 'rate of rise' heads, is there a calibrated tester for them? if so, i'd bet it's expensive regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

CO2 is carbon dioxide which is used to put certain types of fire out and is only harmful if it is used in confined spaces if you breath in the vapour. It displaces the oxygen and therefore the fire goes out although a hot fire can re-ignite a bit like my rs soldering iron that when I switch it off , I can in a short space of time relite it without using the flint as it re-ignites due to the iron still being hot. CO is carbon monoxide which is the dangerous stuff that silently kills you and hence the detectors for this odourless killer. If you were to use CO to test the CO detectors would the test engineer be at risk from accumulative CO deposits getting into his system or are special precautions taken and if so what are the special precautions? Practice in the morning, practice at night. Practice in the evening, until you get it right. Only make sure you are practising in the right way at the right time for it.
