4. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What brands of detectors is your factory direct heat detector tester compatible with?

Our factory direct heat detector tester features a universal detector cup design that fits most common detector form factors. It has been tested and confirmed compatible with detectors from major manufacturers including Apollo, Hochiki, System Sensor, Notifier, Gent, Siemens, Edwards, GST, and many others. The flexible silicone cup adapter accommodates diameters from approximately 80mm to 150mm.

Q2: How many tests can I perform with one aerosol canister?

Under typical field conditions, a standard Wanlin Fire Control aerosol canister provides 200-300 detector test activations. Actual count varies based on application technique (proper cup seal reduces waste), detector type, and ceiling height (taller ceilings may require longer spray duration). We recommend keeping spare canisters on hand — our bulk canister packs offer better value for high-volume users.

Q3: What is your warranty policy?

All Wanlin Fire Control factory direct heat detector tester products carry a 2-year standard warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty covers repair or replacement at our discretion. Consumable items (aerosol canisters, O-rings) are excluded. Extended warranty options are available for large-volume or long-term supply agreements.

Q4: Do you provide training or user documentation?

Yes. Every factory direct heat detector tester ships with a comprehensive English-language user manual that includes setup instructions, testing procedures, maintenance guidelines, safety precautions, and troubleshooting. We also provide video tutorials accessible via our website. For large orders, we can arrange online training sessions for your technical team.

Q5: How do you handle warranty claims from overseas customers?

We have a straightforward warranty claims process. Contact us with the product serial number, description of the issue, and supporting photos/video if applicable. Our technical team will diagnose the issue and determine whether a replacement part or full unit replacement is needed. We ship warranty replacements promptly and provide return shipping instructions for defective units if required.
