How long is the warm up time before you can use the Air Trace?

There is no warm up time - once the battery is inserted the led will go green the unit is ready to use.

What is the battery run time for the Concept Air Trace (battery life)?

On high output expect 10–12 minutes from the battery, and on low output 15–20 minutes approximately.

I see the unit comes with 0.5l of air trace smoke fluid - how long will this last for?

The unit only uses 2ml of liquid a minute; the reservoir capacity is 110ml, which should last for up to 55mins from full. A 0.5litre bottle of fluid potentially lasts for over 4 hours.

Does BSRIA supply extra smoke fluid for the Concept Air Trace?

You can request additional 500ml of smoke fluid with your hire request; these will be sent on a Sale or Return basis and you will only be billed if they are opened for use.

Should I disable smoke detectors/fire alarms for carrying out a smoke test?

Even artificial smoke (if in dense enough conditions) will trigger ionisation / optical, aspirating (eg. VESDA) or video smoke detection systems. "Rate of temperature increase" detectors would not be activated by artificial smoke. These smoke generators are often used by professionals for smoke detector testing!
