Apollo XPA-CB-12034-APO XPander Optical Smoke Detector and Mounting Base

Apollo XPA-CB-12034-APO XPander Optical Smoke Detector and Mounting Base

The XPander Optical Smoke Detector works on the light scatter principle and is ideal for applications where slow-burning or smouldering fires are likely.

XPander incorporates entirely new designs with respect to the wireless communication system. A Radio Interface is connected to the loop. It communicates with the control panel using the Apollo addressable two-wire power and communications system. The interface communicates with the detection and alarm signalling devices by means of radio waves. The detectors are multistate in that they report normal, pre-alarm, fire or fault states to the radio base which transmits the information to the interface.

The detectors incorporate drift compensation and report any compensation limit occurring. The radio bases and signalling devices are addressable and use a pre-set analogue value to report via the XP95 or Discovery protocol. Apart from normal and fire the bases can send pre-set analogue values to indicate low battery, detector contaminated, detector tamper and low signal strength fault conditions.

Key Features:

• Wireless
• Performs well in black and white smoke
• Bi-directional radio communications
• XPERT card addressing system
• Five year battery life using standard AA alkaline batteries
