Have any of you found any good tools/tips for inspections/tests that make
the job more efficient or easier? Do you use any with telescoping poles?

Do you have universal sensitivity testers? If not, does it cause an issue
for your customers?

Thanks for sharing!

One of my suppliers carries a small tube attachment that will fit over a
can of smoke. It concentrates the smoke and usually only takes a single
short "blast" to set off a detector. We've significantly increased
the number of detectors we can test with canned smoke as a result.

Extension rods are good for heat detectors. Some companies use the
small butane soldering irons with the "heat" attachment. This
eliminates the "open flame".

Each manufacturer has their own smoke detector sensitivity testers.
Instead of making a huge investment (some can cost as much as $6000.00
and will only test one "family" of smokes) call some of your local
"friendly" competitors. Find out which ones they have, and purchase one
they don't (but need). Then you can talk about "sharing" or "pooling"
the testers.

For really high smokes there are extension kits, but whether you want to
get them is up to you. If you do a lot of theatres, you might want to
invest in one.
