Description
Apollo Soteria Heat Detector c/w Isolator
Part Number: SA5100-400APO
The Soteria Heat Detector features two heat sensors located laterally to ensure accurate heat detection in all orientations.
Electrical Description
The Soteria detector is designed to be connected to a two-wire loop circuit carrying both data and power.
A version with a short-circuit isolator integrated into the detector head is also available.
Operation
The low profile design of the Soteria Heat Detector is sleek and evolutionary, with a 360° LED indicator which:
- Illuminates red when in alarm
- Illuminates yellow to indicate a fault
- Illuminates green to indicate protocol activity
Heat Detection
- Dual heat sensors ensure an accurate response in all orientations
- Seven operating modes (Mode 8 not used)
Heat detector classifications are defined by EN 54-5. Each class specifies:
- An application temperature (environmental temperature in non-fire conditions)
- A static response temperature (temperature at which the device will produce an alarm signal)
Classes should be selected so that the maximum application temperature is not exceeded.
“R” and “S” Suffixes
“R” suffix: Designed with a rate-of-rise characteristic.
- Produces an alarm when exposed to a rapid temperature increase.
- Slower rises will not generate an alarm unless they exceed the static response temperature.
- Provides rapid fire response even from ambient temperatures well below the typical application temperature.
“S” suffix:
- Will not produce an alarm signal below its minimum static response temperature, even when exposed to high rates of rise of air temperature.
Soteria Heat Detectors have seven available modes corresponding to seven classes as defined in EN 54-5.
- Modes 1 to 5 are identical to the modes used in Discovery Heat Detectors (for backwards compatibility).
- Modes 6 and 7 provide additional heat detector classes and are exclusively available to CoreProtocol enabled fire control panels.
Each class corresponds to a different response behaviour and is designed to suit a range of application temperatures and fire risks.
Device Addressing
A universal XPERT 8 card is supplied with all XPERT 8 Intelligent Mounting Bases.
Using a coding guide, pips on the card are removed to set the address of the detector. This:
- Simplifies installation
- Speeds up commissioning
- Eases maintenance
- Ensures the address location remains the same when detectors are replaced
When Soteria devices are used with CoreProtocol, device auto-addressing can be enabled by compatible fire control panels.
Communication
Soteria uses the new digital CoreProtocol to allow more advanced control and configuration, while maintaining backwards compatibility with XP95 and Discovery.
Discovery and CoreProtocol use:
- Normal mode
- Read mode
- Write mode
Additional non-volatile data fields are made available to the fire control panel.
