Description
The Apollo 55000-317 Series 65 Optical Smoke Detector is a conventional smoke sensor designed for dependable fire detection in environments where slow-burning, smouldering fires are a risk. Using photoelectric (optical) technology, this detector “sees” smoke particles entering the chamber, making it ideal for use in bedrooms, corridors, and escape routes.
With a clear LED indicator that turns red in an alarm condition and an option for magnet-operated testing, this detector is both user- and installer-friendly. Its robust design ensures unaffected performance in varying atmospheric pressures or airflows, providing consistent protection in residential and commercial settings.
The Apollo Series 65 range is widely trusted for its performance, reliability, and compatibility with conventional fire alarm panels.
