Apollo XP95 I.S. Optical Smoke Detector (55000-640APO)

The Apollo XP95 I.S. Optical Smoke Detector (55000-640APO) provides reliable smoke detection in hazardous and potentially explosive environments. Designed for use with Apollo XP95 fire alarm systems, the detector uses the proven light scatter principle to identify smoke particles and provide early warning of developing fire conditions.

The detector incorporates a pulsing LED and a photo diode positioned within a specially designed optical chamber. Under normal conditions, the photo diode does not receive light directly from the LED. When smoke enters the chamber, the smoke particles scatter the light onto the photo diode, increasing the signal level. The detector then processes this signal and transmits the information to the control panel, enabling rapid alarm detection and response.

Designed for intrinsically safe applications, the 55000-640APO performs particularly well in detecting slow burning and smoking fires, making it ideal for areas where these types of fires are most likely to occur. In addition, its operation remains unaffected by wind and atmospheric pressure changes, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments.
