Scorpion, SCORP7000, Engineers Portable Controller

Scorpion is a universal functional test solution for hard-to-access point smoke detectors.  Scorpion is permanently installed adjacent to the detector it is designed to test, and can be fitted as a retrofit or as part of a new installation.  The smoke test is then run from a convenient position whenever required. Scorpion activates smoke detectors (ionization and optical / photoelectric technologies) from the world's leading manufacturers. 

These include detectors used in smoke activated fire door closing systems.  A Scorpion installation uses its own cabling - keeping it separate from the fire detection system.

Scorpion is a micro smoke generator permanently installed adjacent to a point detector or a sampling hole on an ASD pipe – typically at the furthest sampling hole. The smoke generator is connected to a Scorpion Control Panel, or Access Point mounted at a convenient, easy to access location at ground level. Functional testing of the smoke detector is then easily and safely achieved from the Scorpion Control Panel, or Access Point (with an Engineer’s Controller) whenever required.

Scorpion can be retro-fitted to existing systems or be installed with new systems. Each head unit has a test capability in excess of 240 tests of 15 seconds of smoke each. Up to 8 Scorpion heads can be connected to a single wall mounted Control Panel, or for fewer detectors in multiple locations using Access Points together with Engineer’s Controller.

Key Features:

Smoke generation tailored for functional testing of point type smoke detectors Adjustable smoke time to suit characteristics of system under test clearing function enables quicker reset and reduced repeat alarms

Testing capacity:

In excess of 240 tests (of 15 seconds) per Scorpion Head Unit Suitable detector types Optical / photoelectric Ionization Appropriate Stimulus Benign particulate avoids material contamination Consistent, repeatable stimulus from one test to the next Approved by world-leading detector manufacturers

Compliance:

The only way to activate hard-to-access smoke detectors in accordance with  codes and standards and without the need to work in inaccessible situations True functional testing using stimulus with wide smoke particle size, range and characteristics to activate different detector technologies

Resolution of access issues avoids conflict with safety (access) and security rules

Pedigree & Approvals:

Scorpion is designed and manufactured by the world's leading (and only ISO 9001 registered) specialist manufacturer of fire detector test equipment.
