Frequently asked questions
Common questions about REGIN from 3G Electric.
What is the typical application for REGIN smoke pens like the S220?
The REGIN S220 smoke pen is used for localized airflow direction testing and small-area leak detection. It generates up to 300 cubic feet of beige smoke over a 3-hour emission time, allowing technicians to trace air currents in ductwork, around door seals, or near equipment enclosures. The pen is ignited with a match or lighter and produces non-toxic smoke, making it safe for use in occupied spaces. It is commonly employed during HVAC commissioning to verify that supply and exhaust systems are balanced.
How do REGIN smoke cartridges S104 and S105 differ in performance?
The REGIN S104 smoke cartridge generates 1,200 cubic feet of white smoke with a maximum emission time of 3 minutes, while the S105 generates 2,500 cubic feet over 4 minutes. Both are non-toxic and ignited with a match or lighter. The S105 is suited for larger spaces or longer duct runs where a higher volume of smoke is needed to visualize airflow. The S104 is adequate for smaller rooms or shorter duct sections. Both cartridges are single-use and disposable.
Are REGIN smoke products safe to use around sensitive equipment or personnel?
Yes, REGIN smoke products are formulated to be non-toxic, as indicated on the specifications for models like the S104, S105, S220, and FP201. The smoke does not contain harmful chemicals and will not leave oily residues that could damage electronics or contaminate clean environments. However, as with any smoke-generating device, users should avoid direct inhalation of concentrated smoke and ensure adequate ventilation during testing. The products are not intended for use in fire alarm testing or areas with explosive atmospheres.
Can REGIN smoke pen refills (3KXX4) be used with any smoke pen?
The REGIN 3KXX4 refill pack is specifically designed for use with the REGIN S220 smoke pen. It is not guaranteed to fit other brands or models. The refill pack contains the smoke-generating material that is inserted into the pen body. Users should verify compatibility by checking the manufacturer model number (S220) and the OEM part number (3LHW9) for the pen. Using non-compatible refills may result in improper ignition or reduced smoke output.
What is the shelf life of REGIN smoke cartridges and powders?
REGIN smoke cartridges (S104, S105) and smoke bottles (FP201) have a typical shelf life of 2 to 3 years when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The smoke pen refills (3KXX4) have a similar lifespan. Over time, the smoke-generating compound may degrade, leading to reduced smoke volume or longer ignition times. It is recommended to check the manufacturing date on the packaging and rotate stock to ensure optimal performance during testing.
