You generate test reports with the Testifire XTR2 through the DT Connect app, which automatically records test results in real time as you work through each detector. Once testing is complete, you can generate and share a report directly from the app without needing to return to a desk or office. The sections below answer the most common questions about how the reporting process works in practice.

Where are test reports stored on the Testifire XTR2?

Test reports on the Testifire XTR2 are stored digitally through the DT Connect app. The device itself does not store reports in a traditional file system: instead, the app captures and holds all test data as you conduct each test, keeping results organized and accessible from your mobile device throughout the job.

This approach means your records are always with you during the testing process. As you move from detector to detector, the DT Connect app logs each result in real time, building up a complete record of the session. Because everything is handled through the app, there is no risk of losing paper notes or forgetting to log a result manually. The digital storage also makes it straightforward to retrieve historical test sessions when you need to demonstrate proof of testing to a classification society or flag state inspector.

How do you transfer Testifire XTR2 data to a PC?

You transfer Testifire XTR2 test data to a PC by exporting it through the DT Connect app. The app allows you to share or export completed reports in a format that can be saved, opened, or forwarded from a computer, removing the need for cables or proprietary software.

The practical workflow is straightforward. After completing a test session, you open the relevant report in the DT Connect app and use the app’s sharing or export function to send the file to your email, a cloud storage location, or directly to a colleague. From there, the report can be opened on any PC and saved to your vessel’s maintenance records or uploaded to your ship management system. This makes it easy to keep fire and gas detection records centralized and audit-ready without any manual re-entry of data.

What information does a Testifire XTR2 test report include?

A Testifire XTR2 test report generated through the DT Connect app includes a real-time record of the test results for each detector tested during the session. The report provides documented proof of testing, supporting fire safety compliance and maintenance verification requirements.

In practical terms, the report captures what was tested and what the outcome was, giving you an on-site record you can present immediately after the job is done. This is particularly useful in the maritime context, where inspectors and classification societies expect clear, traceable documentation of safety system maintenance. Rather than relying on handwritten logs that can be misread or misplaced, the digital report from the DT Connect app gives you a clean, consistent format every time.

Can the Testifire XTR2 generate reports for multiple detectors at once?

Yes, the Testifire XTR2 can generate a single report covering multiple detectors tested during the same session. As you test each detector, the DT Connect app records the results sequentially, building a cumulative report across the entire testing session rather than producing a separate file for each individual unit.

This is one of the more practical advantages of the system for anyone working through a large detector installation on a vessel. Instead of managing dozens of individual records, you end up with one organized session report that covers all tested detectors. The sequential and combined test modes on the Testifire XTR2 support efficient movement through a detector layout, and the DT Connect app keeps pace by logging each result as you go. For a Technical Superintendent managing a fleet, this kind of consolidated reporting significantly reduces the administrative effort involved in proving compliance across multiple spaces or decks.

How do you print or share a Testifire XTR2 report?

You print or share a Testifire XTR2 report directly from the DT Connect app using your mobile device’s standard sharing options. This lets you send the report by email, save it to a shared drive, or print it wirelessly if a compatible printer is available, all from the same location where the testing took place.

The on-site report generation capability is one of the features that makes the Testifire XTR2 well suited to time-sensitive maritime environments. When a vessel is in port and an inspector needs proof of testing, you do not have to wait until you are back at a shore office to produce documentation. You can generate, share, or print the report immediately after finishing the job. For fleet engineers working under tight port schedules, this ability to close out the paperwork on the spot is a genuine time saver.

If you need to forward the report to a ship management company, a classification society surveyor, or a technical superintendent ashore, the app’s sharing function handles this directly. The report travels as a digital file, which means it arrives in a consistent, readable format regardless of where it is opened.
