At the 2024 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Conference, held from June 17-19 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, SDi unveiled the latest advancements of Testifire XTR2. This event marked Testifire’s most significant appearance on the East Coast to date, providing a premier platform for SDi to connect with fire safety professionals, offer insights, and demonstrate the innovative capabilities of the Testifire XTR2. Attendees had the opportunity to interact with the technology firsthand and gain a deeper understanding of how it can enhance their test and inspection process.

SDi’s booth focused on the latest premium features of Testifire XTR2. Testifire XTR2 excels in delivering thorough testing for a wide range of fire detectors. It features automatic result capture, ensuring that test data for smoke, heat, and multi-sensor detectors are accurately recorded. This automation simplifies the process, reducing manual input errors and increasing the reliability of the test results. Along with the DT Connect app, Testifire XTR2 now offers premium features that streamline the testing process, manage assets, and optimize reporting capabilities.

Testifire XTR2 Features:

• Inspection Creation
•  Log Addressable Panel Time to Synchronize Test and Panel Event Timestamps*
• Asset Identification*
• Panel Verification*
• Inspection Summary
• Shareable Reports*

*Premium DT Connect Features

These features are complemented by the DT Connect app, which brings premium functionalities to the Testifire XTR2. The app enhances the testing process by capturing data directly from the hardware such as location, loop, and address, allowing for seamless management of site assets and optimized reporting capabilities. The alignment of test results with fire panel data is critical for accurate and complete fire detection testing. By comparing test outcomes with the panel’s event log, users can confirm that all tests are recorded properly. The fire panel’s event log provides detailed timestamps and records of system responses, which can be matched with the estimated alarm times from the tests. This verification process ensures that the test results are acknowledged by the panel, reflecting whether an alarm or no-alarm condition was triggered. When returning to a site, these logs provide valuable historical data, streamlining future inspections and maintenance.

The Testifire XTR2’s integration with the cloud portal offers an instant overview of testing activities. This feature simplifies report sharing with clients and provides valuable insights into the operational status of Testifire XTR2 units. The portal supports efficient management of technician accounts, test registrations, and health checks for smoke levels, battery charge, and generator life. Premium features enable shareable inspection reports that not only provide a comprehensive overview but also enhance client communication by demonstrating proof of testing and compliance. 

Testifire XTR2 paired with the advanced capabilities of DT Connect, represents a significant advancement in fire detection system testing. By automating processes, enhancing data integration, and improving asset management, it offers fire safety professionals a powerful tool for achieving greater productivity and accuracy.  As the fire safety industry continues to advance, SDi remains at the forefront of innovation with Testifire XTR2. Testifire XTR2’s premium features underscore SDi’s dedication to improving fire detection systems and enhancing safety measures across various sectors.
