Visual alarm devices

Apollo Fire Detectors, visual alarm

Apollo Fire Detectors has introduced new visual alarm devices (VADs) for installing on walls or ceilings. They run on Apollo’s XP95 and Discovery digital protocols. For ease of installation, these loop-powered VADs are mounted using Apollo’s first-fix base.

These VADs use a white flash colour and are available with a red or white body.

To ensure they meet and surpass the EN54-23 standard, a range of highly efficient lenses has been designed and developed. Their light coverage has been tested in Apollo’s hemi-anechoic chamber.
