Self Testing Fire Alarms

Expert Installation & Servicing for GENT Self-Test System

GENT Self-Test detectors from Honeywell automate fire system maintenance and compliance. As a professional installer, we can integrate these advanced self testing fire systems into your property, making your fire safety 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 detectors designed to revolutionise how fire alarm systems are tested and inspected. As a leading installer of these innovative systems, we ensure you benefit from a breakthrough solution that streamlines compliance and eliminates common barriers to testing, providing 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 and missed detectors. Obstacles like locked rooms, inaccessible ceilings, and hidden sensors can lead to missed inspections and risks to your compliance. Our professional installation of these advanced fire systems eliminates these issues, providing a safer, more reliable solution.

As an SSAIB-accredited company, we guarantee that all installations and maintenance are carried out to the highest industry standards, giving you complete confidence in your fire safety system.

Manual Testing vs Self Testing

Understanding the core differences between traditional and automated fire safety practices is essential for informed decision-making. The following comparison highlights how a move towards modern, automated systems can deliver significant advantages in efficiency, safety, and operational continuity.

Manual Testing

Time Constraints

Large arrays of detectors throughout a property add to the on-site time required for an engineer to conduct a full inspection. Each point needs to be individually checked with a smoke and heat test, making the process very labour-intensive and time-consuming for a full system testing and inspection survey.

Access Unavailable

Some rooms and secured areas may be denied access during an inspection, which can require an engineer to make costly repeat visits to complete the inspection and ensure full compliance. This also introduces the risk of a part of the system going unchecked for extended periods.

Potential Interruption

Manually testing each device can cause minor disruptions to personnel and day-to-day business activities. This can be particularly challenging in busy environments like offices, hospitals, or retail spaces where operations need to continue with minimal interruption.

Self Testing

Formidable Time Saver

A self-testing system generally provides a factor of six time savings for on-site testing and inspection surveys. This automation drastically reduces the hours required by an engineer, allowing for more efficient maintenance schedules and significant savings on labour costs.

Direct Access Not Required

The system can be managed remotely, meaning there is no need for physical device access to conduct a test. This is an immense benefit for sites with hard-to-reach areas, ensuring every part of the fire detection system is tested regularly and on schedule.

Smart Device Connection

Engineers can use a Bluetooth connection on smart devices to access the control system and individual nodes. This allows them to see detailed reports and activate self-testing with a simple command, making the process more streamlined and efficient than ever before.

Cover Detection System

When nodes are obscured or covered, such as by dust or debris, a diagnostic report immediately alerts the engineer to the cause. This proactive monitoring ensures your fire system remains fully operational and compliant at all times.
