SDi M8 Smoke Centurion — aerosol smoke for the functional testing of smoke detectors, sold in cases of 12 cans.
Functional testing proves that a detector responds to smoke and signals the panel, which a magnet or a self test button cannot do. It is applied by hand or through a Solo dispenser on an access pole, so ceiling detectors are reached from floor level. It is silicone free, because silicone residue builds up in a sensing chamber and degrades it.
