The Xtralis VTT-10000-UK Test Transformer (previously known as the Hot Wire Test PSU) is a tool for smoke testing very early warning aspirating smoke detection (ASD) systems. It passes a high current through a test cable, heating it until the insulation burns and produces smoke. This is the UK version.
Key features
- Produces smoke by the wire burn method for testing very early warning ASD systems
- Integrated timer gives a selectable burn period of up to three minutes and resets when switched off
- Timer also stops the unit being left running by mistake
- Built-in thermal protection switch prevents overheating; it cannot be bypassed or reset manually
- Power and Out indicators show output and timer status
