Apollo Series 65 Ionisation Smoke Detector – Conventional Fire Detection

The Apollo Series 65 Ionisation Smoke Detector is a high-performance conventional smoke detector designed for fast and reliable fire detection. Utilizing a low-activity radioactive foil to ionize the air within its sensing chamber, it effectively detects smoke particles from fast-flaming fires. This type of detector is particularly effective in areas where fires are expected to produce small, less visible smoke particles. Certified to EN54-7 by the LPCB, it is suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. With wide voltage compatibility and robust construction, the Series 65 offers dependable protection and easy integration into conventional fire alarm systems.

Product Features

Fast Response to Flaming Fires

Detects small, invisible smoke particles typical of fast-burning fires through ionisation technology. Ideal for areas where rapid fire detection is critical.

EN54-7 LPCB Certified

Fully certified to EN54-7 by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), ensuring compliance with European safety standards for smoke detection.

Wide Voltage Range

Operates on a 9 to 33V DC supply, making it compatible with a broad range of conventional fire panels and installation scenarios.

Clear Alarm Indication

Equipped with a highly visible red LED that illuminates when the detector enters an alarm state, providing instant visual feedback.

Multiple Base Options

Compatible with a range of Apollo bases including:

• 45681-201APO diode base
• 45681-200APO non-diode base
• 45681-245APO relay base
  This allows flexibility for different installation and system requirements.

Remote LED Output

Supports connection to a remote LED indicator for improved visibility in concealed or high-mounted installations.

Durable Construction

Built with white polycarbonate casing and nickel-plated stainless steel terminals, offering high resistance to heat and corrosion.
