XP95 OPEN-AREA VAD CAT. W – WHITE BODY (WHITE FLASH) (W-2.4-6) 55000-744APO

Part Number: 55000-744APO

The Apollo XP95 Open-Area VAD Category W (55000-744APO) is a high-performance Visual Alarm Device (VAD) designed to provide clear visual fire alarm notification in environments where audible alarms may not be heard. It is ideal as either a primary or supplementary alarm device in areas with high background noise, such as workshops and plant rooms, or in locations where deaf or hearing-impaired occupants may be present.

Designed for use with Apollo XP95 addressable fire alarm systems, the 55000-744APO delivers a high-intensity white LED flash and complies with EN 54-23 Category W requirements. The device provides a certified coverage area of W-2.4-6, making it suitable for open-area applications where effective visual notification is required.

The VAD automatically performs an LED integrity check whenever it is activated. If the device detects an LED failure, it transmits a fault signal to the fire alarm control panel, helping to ensure ongoing system reliability and compliance. In addition, the VAD synchronises its flash pattern through the Apollo protocol, ensuring consistent operation across all connected visual alarm devices.
