French term or phrase: générateur de similis
This is in a document describing the cleaning operations for an ADLIF chemical detector,

I have tried to add an image:

which goes with the following instructions:

Démonter le bruleur et l'allumeur du détecteur ADLIF
Déconnecter le tuyau d'hydrogène et celui du générateur de similis du bruleur.
Desserrer les 3 vis CHc M3 de maintien du brûleur et de l’allumeur.
Enlever le brûleur et l'allumeur en prenant soin de ne pas perdre le raccord brûleur / circulateur.
Nettoyer l’optique d’entrée du détecteur ADLIF

Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you very much

toxic simulant generator
Explanation:
According to this web page, it has a hydrogen generator and a toxic simulant generator — it seems to me that the latter is what would be called the 'générateur de similis' in FR

  -> Thanks, DWT!

agree  Didier Fourcot: Never seen "similis" in this meaning, but this is the most likely, a dubious French "générateur de gaz" for this purpose: http://www.compur.com/fr/instruments-portatifs/generateur-de...
