Self Testing Fire Alarms

GENT Self-Test detectors from Honeywell automate fire system testing, making maintenance and compliance faster, safer, and more cost-effective.

The Smarter Way to Maintain Fire Safety

Honeywell has developed the GENT Self-Test, a next-generation range of smoke and heat detectors designed to revolutionize how fire safety systems are tested and inspected. This breakthrough solution streamlines compliance and eliminates common barriers to testing, ensuring quicker, safer, and more cost-effective maintenance for sites of any size.

Why Traditional Testing Falls Short

Conventional fire safety testing can be slow, labor-intensive, and disruptive to daily operations. It is also prone to human error or missed detectors. Obstacles such as locked rooms, inaccessible ceilings, hidden detectors, and large networked systems can all lead to missed inspections and increased risk.

Manual Testing vs Self Testing

Manual Testing



Time Constraints

Large arrays throughout work spaces add to the on site time with each point requiring smoke and heat test.



Access Unavailable

Some rooms and areas may be denied access, requiring repeat visits to complete the inspection.



Potential Interruption

Manual testing can cause minor disruptions to personnel business activities.

Self Testing



Formidable Time Saver

Generally a factor of six time savings for site testing and inspection surveys.



Direct Access Not Required

The system can be managed remotely, with no need for physical device access.



Smart Device Connection

Engineers can access the control system and nodes through Bluetooth on smart devices to see reports and activate self-tests.



Cover Detection System

When nodes are obscured or covered, a diagnostic report alerts the engineer to the cause.
