Many multi-sensor fire detectors detect carbon monoxide (CO) as well as smoke and / or heat. Under international codes and standards the CO cell needs to be functionally tested with a CO stimulus from the protected area through the detector vents to the sensor.
Solo C3 – used in conjunction with Solo 330 / 332 dispensers - provides a safe way of achieving this with CO concentration levels high enough to activate an alarm, but low enough not to pose danger to user health.

* Note: certain CO life safety detectors (as opposed to fire detectors with CO sensors within them) require a low concentration of CO sustained over a long period of time. Solo C3 and Solo 330 / 332 are unlikely in isolation to prove suitable for testing these detectors.
