Apollo Series 65A Ionisation Smoke Detector with Flashing LED and Magnetic Test Switch (55000-225USA)
The Apollo 55000-225USA uses a low activity radioactive foil to detect fires by irradiating the air in the smoke chambers and causing a current flow.

Please note that this product has been replaced with the: Apollo 55000-227USA Series 65A Ionization Smoke Detector
The Apollo 55000-225USA provides fast and reliable detection of rapidly developing fires. Using ionisation sensing technology, the detector constantly monitors the air within its sensing chamber and quickly responds to the small combustion particles produced by fast burning, flaming fires.
The detector uses a low activity radioactive foil to ionise the air inside the smoke chamber, creating a small electrical current. When smoke enters the chamber, it interrupts the current flow. The detector monitors these changes and activates an alarm when smoke levels exceed the preset threshold.
Designed for dependable operation in a wide range of environments, the 55000-225USA combines reliable fire detection with practical maintenance features. The detector is available with a flashing LED and magnet-operated test switch, allowing users to easily verify correct operation during routine inspections.
