Scorpion 1001-001 | Point Head Unit with Fixings

The Scorpion head unit is permanently installed alongside a smoke detector.

The Scorpion head unit is a smoke generator which is installed next to a detector, and when required, generates smoke which is directed towards the detector for a functional test of the device.

A Scorpion Head Unit is connected to an easily accessible Control Panel or Access Point, which is where the Service Engineer interfaces with the Scorpion system. The Control Panel or Access Point can be positioned near the fire panel or control and indicating equipment, allowing the Engineer to monitor both the smoke activation from the Scorpion as well as its effect on the detector.

Detectors in hard to access locations are often costly to test and maintain. They require specialist access equipment, potentially the presence of a third party company and often more than one engineer. All of which takes time as well as money to arrange.

Installing Scorpion dramatically reduces the time taken to test hard to access detectors. Scorpion allows these detectors to be tested easily as part of the routine test during the engineer's visit without the need for a return visit out of hours and without the time taken to directly access the detector.

All detectors, regardless of location, should be tested and maintained in compliance with international codes and standards. Installing Scorpion supports this and eliminates the need for deviations from such standards offering ultimate peace of mind and proof that all detectors within a building are functioning as expected.
