AutroGuard is a new range of multi-criteria detectors from leading detector manufacturer Autronica.

As part of the introduction of this exciting new range, Detector Testers were asked to support the design of a customized removal tool designed specifically for the AutroGuard range.

Functional testing

With the Solo and Testifire solutions already approved for functional testing of existing Autronica detector ranges, developing a customized removal tool to meet the needs of this new range continues the strong relationship between Detector Testers and Autronica and is the latest example of the approvals and strategic partnerships they hold with global detector manufacturers.

The AutroGuard range is designed to simplify installation and commissioning whilst increasing fire safety.  Suitable for use in a wide range of applications, the range has a number of standout features designed to reduce false alarms, maintain reliability and make for a cleaner look with reduced wiring and installation costs.

Removal tool

A specialist adaptor allows for the easy removal of dust covers fitted to the AutroGuard detectors The removal tool Detector Testers have developed, the Solo 220, has been designed to work with all detectors in the range and follows the same principles of our existing Solo products – focussing on intuitive design to deliver optimum use on-site. 

Used during installation, the Solo 220 enables detectors to be easily mounted to their base and, during periodic maintenance visits, the tool allows for easy removal of detectors for inspection.

The removal tool also features a specialist adaptor which, once fitted, allows for the easy removal of dust covers fitted to the AutroGuard detectors – a significant time-saver when it comes to system commissioning.
