Apollo Series 65 Optical Smoke Detector (55000-317APO)

The Apollo Series 65 Optical Smoke Detector (55000-317APO) provides reliable early warning of fire using the proven light scatter principle. Designed for commercial and residential applications, the detector continuously monitors for smoke particles and responds quickly to slow-burning and smouldering fires, helping to protect occupants and property before fire conditions escalate.

The detector uses a pulsing LED and optical sensing chamber to identify smoke. When smoke enters the chamber, it scatters light onto the sensor, allowing the detector to recognise a fire condition and trigger an alarm. This makes the 55000-317APO particularly effective in bedrooms, accommodation areas, cafés, restaurants, and other locations where early smoke detection is essential.

Apollo designed the detector with the same external housing as the Series 65 Ionisation Smoke Detector, creating a consistent appearance throughout the fire alarm system. The integrated indicator LED remains clear during normal operation and illuminates red during alarm conditions, enabling users to quickly identify the activated detector.

Furthermore, the detector operates across a wide voltage range and performs reliably in varying environmental conditions. It remains unaffected by changes in wind or atmospheric pressure and supports a broad operating and storage temperature range, making it suitable for a wide variety of installations.
