2800 Reference Laboratory Test Tunnel
The 2800 laboratory fire detector test tunnel is a full size, floor-standing piece of laboratory equipment. This reference tunnel is mainly intended for type approval testing to EN14604, EN54-7 and EN54-5, but is also ideal for fire detector R&D. The duct size permits the capability (with optional accessories) to carry out the high airspeed (gusting) type test for ionisation smoke detectors, and the high luminance (dazzle) type test for optical smoke detectors.
- Capable of carrying out full range of tunnel tests to EN standards
- Ideal for test laboratories and fire detector R&D
- Proven in notified test laboratories all over the world
- Ability to test to EN54-7, EN54-29, EN14604 and EN54-5
- Starting temperature range from 5°C to 55°C
- Grades A1 to C to EN54-5, including tests for suffix R detectors
- Tests from the maximum application temperature for grades C
- Comprehensive technical support
- Additional training from AW Technology available
- Air flow deflector funnel available for high airspeed tests
- Full size dazzle rig available for testing optical detectors
The following variants are available in the 2000 series:
