What's new in fire detection?
Rowland Davies, Marketing Manager, Apollo Fire Detectors, considers the latest developments in fire detection technology.
A version of the base without an isolator is also available.
The device enables building owners to meet the requirements of the Disabilities Discrimination Act (DDA,) which requires visual alarms for the hard of hearing, and also the revised Approved Document M of the Building Regulations for England and Wales, which stipulates provision of visual, audible and detection devices in every bedroom and visual and audible devices in every bathroom.
Major applications include hotels, accommodation blocks and leisure facilities.
The Sounder Beacon Base has two volume ranges: 55-75dB and 75-91dB, which can be synchronised when multiple devices are used.
It also has a unique acoustic self-test facility that can be used during installation, commissioning or maintenance procedures.
It tests itself by checking its own sound output; if no sound is detected within five seconds of switching on, it transmits a sounder fault signal when next polled.
The device is compatible with Apollo's XP95 and Discovery ranges of intelligent fire detectors, as well as other Apollo alarm devices and interfaces.
Apollo is one of the world's leading manufacturers of conventional and analogue addressable smoke and heat detectors for commercial and industrial applications, with its products being used in over 100 countries.
