Apollo Detector Bases in Bhopal

Fire Protection System (FPS) is an authorised Apollo distributor in Bhopal, supplying the bases that Apollo detectors plug into: XPERT 7 and XPERT 8 bases for addressable systems, isolating and intrinsically safe bases, and Series 65, Orbis and AlarmSense bases for conventional systems, including relay and diode versions. Choosing the right base decides how the detector is addressed, isolated, locked and wired.

Where to use Detector Bases

  • New addressable systems using Soteria, Discovery or XP95 detectors
  • Conventional systems using Series 65 or Orbis detectors
  • Loops that need short circuit isolation between devices
  • Hazardous areas with intrinsically safe (I.S.) detectors
  • Suspended ceilings where detectors should fit without force
  • Sites where a detector alarm must switch external equipment through a relay
  • Hostels, hotels and public buildings where detectors may be removed without permission
  • Conventional circuits that share manual call points and detectors
  • Flush mounted Soteria Dimension installations

Apollo Detector Bases models

Apollo XPERT 7 Base, White or Black

45681-210APO (white)45681-361APO (black)XPERT addressing

A low insertion force detector base with stainless steel contacts for quick installation, suited to the XP95 and Discovery detector ranges. It is available in white and in black.

Apollo Series 65 Base

45681-200APOSeries 65Conventional

The standard base for Series 65 conventional detectors, designed so detectors fit without force, which helps on suspended ceilings. Detectors fit one way only and can be locked with a grub screw using a 1.5 mm hexagonal screwdriver.

Apollo Series 65 Diode Base

45681-201APOSeries 65Diode base

A Series 65 base for conventional systems that have manual call points and detector bases on the same circuit. A Schottky diode on the L1 IN and L1 OUT terminals keeps the circuit working if a detector is removed without permission; it is used with compatible control equipment.

Apollo Series 65 Relay Base

45681-245APOSeries 65Relay base

A Series 65 base with one set of volt-free changeover (form C) contacts that change state when the detector signals an alarm, so the detector can switch other equipment.

Apollo Orbis TimeSaver Relay Base

ORB-RB-10004-APOOrbisRelay base

An Orbis TimeSaver base with a single-pole volt-free changeover contact for switching external equipment. The relay energises when the detector goes into alarm and stays in that state until the detector is reset.

Apollo AlarmSense Base

45681-244APOAlarmSenseHead removal fault

The base for AlarmSense detectors, which can only be mounted on it, used where the detector does not need an integral sounder or sounder visual indicator. It reports a fault if a detector head is removed.

How to choose

Match the base to the detector range first. The XPERT 8 Base is a universal base for Apollo Soteria, Discovery and XP95 detectors, while the XPERT 7 Base, in white or black, suits the XP95 and Discovery ranges. Both use XPERT addressing: the detector's loop address is set by a coded XPERT card held in the base, and Apollo supplies the cards with its XPERT 7 bases. Soteria Dimension detectors are flush mounted in their own Soteria Dimension mounting box.

Decide whether the base must isolate. An isolator senses a short circuit in the loop wiring and cuts off only the small section around it, so the rest of the loop keeps working. The XPERT 7 Isolating Base does this on Discovery loops and spurs, with up to 20 detectors or their equivalent load allowed between isolating bases. The XPERT 8 Base supports isolated and non-isolated devices and keeps the loop connected while a device is briefly removed. The separate Isolator Base accepts only the Apollo Isolator 55000-720.

For conventional Series 65 systems, choose the standard base, the Diode base (a Schottky diode on the L1 IN and L1 OUT terminals so call points and detectors can share one circuit and it keeps working if a detector is removed), or the Relay base with one set of volt-free changeover contacts that switch on alarm. The Orbis TimeSaver bases have grouped terminals, two fixing centres and a cable stripping guide, and the relay version switches up to 30 V at 1 A. AlarmSense detectors fit only the AlarmSense Base.

For hazardous areas, the XPERT 7 I.S. Base accepts only intrinsically safe detectors, so a standard detector cannot be fitted into an I.S. system by mistake. Intrinsically safe equipment limits electrical energy so that it cannot ignite an explosive atmosphere. FPS supplies and fits the correct base for each Apollo detector in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

Frequently asked questions

What is XPERT addressing?
On Apollo XPERT bases the loop address is set by an XPERT card fitted in the base, so the address belongs to the location rather than to the detector head. Apollo supplies XPERT cards with its XPERT 7 bases.
Which base do Apollo Soteria detectors use?
The XPERT 8 Base, a universal base that fits Apollo Soteria, Discovery and XP95 detectors. Flush mounted Soteria Dimension detectors use the Soteria Dimension mounting box instead.
What does an isolating base do?
It senses a short circuit on the loop wiring and isolates it, so one cable fault disrupts as little of the system as possible. With the XPERT 7 Isolating Base, up to 20 detectors or their equivalent load may be installed between isolating bases.
What is a relay base used for?
A relay base has volt-free changeover contacts that change state when its detector goes into alarm, so the detector can switch external equipment. Apollo offers relay bases in the Series 65 and Orbis ranges, and the Orbis version switches up to 30 V at 1 A.
Which base should be used in a hazardous area?
Use the XPERT 7 I.S. Base, which accepts only intrinsically safe detectors and carries PESO (CCoE) and DNV.GL approvals. PESO is India's Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation, headed by the Chief Controller of Explosives (CCoE).
