Apollo Orbis TimeSaver Diode Base (Part No. ORB-DB-00003-APO)

The Apollo Orbis TimeSaver Diode Base (ORB-DB-00003-APO) is designed for use with Apollo Orbis fire detection systems that incorporate active end-of-line (EOL) monitoring for detector removal. Based on the standard TimeSaver Base design, the unit incorporates an additional integrated diode, allowing the fire alarm system to monitor detector status while maintaining circuit integrity.

The ORB-DB-00003-APO helps ensure that other devices on the circuit continue operating if a detector is removed without authorisation, supporting reliable system performance and improved fault monitoring. Its installer-friendly design features grouped terminals, a continuity link, and a cable stripping guide, helping to simplify installation and commissioning.

As part of the Apollo Orbis range, the base supports advanced detector technologies designed to improve reliability, simplify maintenance, and reduce false alarms.
