Apollo Series 65A Ionisation Smoke Detector with Flashing LED (55000-226USA)
The Apollo 55000-226USA is a ionisation smoke detector that 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 is absolete: we recommend the 55000-327USA replacement.
The Apollo 55000-226USA 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 typically produced by fast burning, flaming fires.
The detector operates by using a low activity radioactive foil to ionise the air inside the detection chamber, creating a small electrical current. When smoke enters the chamber, it interrupts the current flow. The 55000-226USA constantly monitors this change and triggers an alarm when smoke levels exceed the preset threshold.
Designed for reliable operation in a variety of environments, the 55000-226USA combines reliable fire detection with flexible installation options. Optional features such as a moving LED and a magnet operated test switch help make system testing and maintenance easier.
