Last week, SDi exhibited at Feria Internacional de Seguridad ESS+, held at Corferias, the largest exhibition center in Bogota, Colombia. While SDi attends this show every year, this year was very exciting as it was the first time that we introduced our newest solution – Testifire XTR2 in Latin America. Prior to Feria Internacional de Seguridad ESS+, SDi introduced Testifire XTR2 for the very first time at the 2023 NFPA Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Testifire XTR2 offers all-in-one testing including, smoke, heat, hi-heat, combined, sequential, and delayed start test modes. In addition to functional testing of smoke and heat, Testifire XTR2 takes testing to the next level as it automatically generates reports while a test is being carried out. The reports combine all the data needed to prove testing has taken place and confirm the status of each detector with information such as site location, detector details, result and time of each test, test date, and name of the technician. The mobile app that is used for testing with Testifire XTR2 will be available in many languages including Spanish. It was very exciting to see interest in this new product offering as well as interest in other SDi products being demonstrated at the conference.

As a member of the Asociación Latinoamericana de Seguridad (ALAS), SDi had the opportunity to participate in a live interview with ALAS during the conference. The video was recorded live to ALAS’s Instagram story and saved as an Instagram reel on the ALAS Instagram. Walter Hawrys, President of International W, participated in the interview, providing an overview of SDi and walking through the testing solutions that were on display during the conference. The products featured at SDi’s booth included Testifire XTR2, Solo 365, Solo 200, Solo Telescopic Access Poles, Cell Checker, Scorpion, and Solo 461. SDi’s booth design included smoke detectors, allowing customers to receive a hands-on demonstration of the equipment.

SDi would like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth during the conference. Additionally, we hope that everyone stayed safe during the earthquake that hit during the conference. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year at Feria Internacional de Seguridad ESS+ on August 21-23, 2024.
