Apollo Alarmsense Devices
Apollo Alarmsense devices provides cost-effective two-wire fire detection and alarm solutions of detectors, sounders, manual call points and bases. The Alarmsense range of two wire detection and alarm products work via connection of a single pair of supply wires. Designed for simplicity, flexibility and reliable fire protection, the Alarmsense range is widely used in small commercial shops, small offices, small guest houses, or dual-unit buildings, properties and commercial premises where a full addressable fire alarm system may not be required.
The Alarmsense range of two wire detection and alarm products work via connection of a single pair of supply wires. This is a benefit for both installer and end user as installation is quicker, less expensive, and more adaptable as separate sounder circuits are not needed. By reducing cabling requirements and installation time, Apollo Alarmsense devices help deliver reliable fire detection while minimising disruption during new installations, upgrades and refurbishment projects.
At Firesense, we supply a comprehensive range of Apollo Alarmsense detectors, sounders, manual call points, and accessories, providing dependable fire detection solutions that are easy to install, maintain and expand as building requirements change.
Apollo AlarmSense Devices FAQs
Learn more about Apollo AlarmSense devices, two-wire fire alarm systems, AlarmSense detectors, sounders, manual call points and fire detection accessories available from Firesense.
What is Apollo AlarmSense?
Apollo AlarmSense is a cost-effective two-wire fire detection and alarm solution that allows detectors, sounders, manual call points and bases to operate using a single pair of supply wires. It is designed for simplicity, flexibility and reliable fire protection in buildings where a full addressable fire alarm system may not be required.
How do Apollo AlarmSense devices work?
Apollo AlarmSense devices work by connecting detection and alarm products on a single pair of supply wires. This means compatible detectors, sounders and manual call points can share the same circuit, reducing the need for separate sounder circuits and helping simplify installation.
What is a two-wire fire alarm system?
A two-wire fire alarm system uses a single pair of wires for both fire detection devices and alarm notification devices. This helps reduce cabling requirements, installation time and disruption compared with systems that require separate detector and sounder circuits.
What are Apollo AlarmSense devices?
Apollo AlarmSense devices include two-wire detectors, sounders, manual call points, bases and associated accessories designed for use with compatible AlarmSense fire alarm systems.
What are the benefits of Apollo AlarmSense?
Apollo AlarmSense offers reduced cabling requirements, quicker installation, lower installation costs and a more adaptable system design. By allowing detection and alarm devices to operate on the same pair of wires, AlarmSense can provide reliable fire detection while reducing installation complexity.
Is Apollo AlarmSense an addressable fire alarm system?
No. Apollo AlarmSense is not a fully addressable fire alarm system. It is a two-wire fire detection and alarm solution designed to provide enhanced functionality compared with traditional conventional systems while maintaining simple wiring principles.
What is the difference between Apollo AlarmSense and a conventional fire alarm system?
Traditional conventional fire alarm systems often use separate circuits for detectors and sounders. Apollo AlarmSense allows compatible detection and alarm devices to share a single pair of wires, helping reduce cabling requirements and simplify installation.
What Apollo AlarmSense detectors are available?
The Apollo AlarmSense range includes two-wire smoke detectors, heat detectors and multisensor detectors designed to provide reliable fire detection across a range of building types and applications.
What is an Apollo AlarmSense manual call point?
An Apollo AlarmSense manual call point allows occupants to manually raise the alarm in the event of a fire. It is designed to operate as part of a compatible Apollo AlarmSense two-wire fire alarm system.
What are Apollo AlarmSense sounders used for?
Apollo AlarmSense sounders provide audible alarm notification when the fire alarm system activates. Because AlarmSense is a two-wire system, compatible sounders can operate on the same wiring circuit as the detectors and call points.
Where are Apollo AlarmSense systems commonly installed?
Apollo AlarmSense systems are commonly used in smaller buildings like shops, residential buildings or homes, where a cost-effective two-wire fire detection and alarm solution is required.
Why choose Apollo AlarmSense for refurbishment projects?
Apollo AlarmSense is often suitable for refurbishment and upgrade projects because the two-wire design can reduce installation time, cabling requirements and disruption. This makes it useful in buildings where installing separate sounder circuits may be difficult or costly.
Can Apollo AlarmSense reduce installation costs?
Yes. By reducing cabling requirements and removing the need for separate sounder circuits in many applications, Apollo AlarmSense can help reduce installation time and labour costs compared with some traditional system designs.
Can Apollo AlarmSense be expanded as building requirements change?
Apollo AlarmSense systems can offer flexibility when building requirements change, provided that system design, device compatibility and control panel capacity are considered. This makes AlarmSense a practical choice for many small to medium fire alarm installations.
What is the difference between Apollo AlarmSense and Apollo Discovery?
Apollo AlarmSense is a two-wire fire detection and alarm solution, while Apollo Discovery is a fully addressable fire detection range. Discovery systems identify individual addressable devices, whereas AlarmSense focuses on simpler two-wire installation and cost-effective fire detection.
What is the difference between Apollo AlarmSense and Apollo Soteria?
Apollo AlarmSense is a two-wire fire detection and alarm solution, while Apollo Soteria is an advanced addressable fire detection range. Soteria is designed for addressable fire alarm systems, whereas AlarmSense is designed for two-wire system applications.
