Control Panels
Apollo fire detection systems are partnership systems. Detectors
and modules are supplied by Apollo and the control panel by an
independent manufacturer. Please see below for a list of compatible
panel manufacturers.
As a specifier, you may also choose sounders or modules designed
and manufactured by independent suppliers in order to have a system
that best meets the needs of the project.
You make the choice - and choice is at the heart of Apollo's
philosophy. Detectors, sounders, modules and control panel form a
powerful, reliable system.
It is successful because Apollo tests manufacturers' products
for compatibility with Apollo products. These manufacturers submit
their products to Apollo's Technical Sales department which carries
out a full test program. Products that pass all the tests are then
certified.
Specifiers can request copies of the test certificates when
designing fire detection systems. This ensures that the different
elements of the system will work perfectly with the others.
What if the products are not tested for
compatibility?
Some manufacturers of modules, sounders, ancillary products and
even control panels falsely claim compatibility with Apollo
detectors and modules.
If these manufacturers cannot produce an Apollo certificate of
compatibility there is no certainty that their products will work
correctly with Apollo products. It is possible that systems made up
of potentially incompatible elements will generate faults or fail
in operation.
Intellectual Property Rights in XP95A and Apollo
Protocols
The protocols used by Apollo XP95A and Discovery UL
detectors, modules and ancillary products were developed by and are
proprietary to Apollo. Apollo own the intellectual property rights
(including copyright and trade marks) in relation to the XP95A and
other Apollo protocols.
Apollo will not tolerate the infringement of our valuable
intellectual property rights and it is our policy to take
appropriate legal action against infringers, including action
against companies which falsely claim compatibility with Apollo
protocols.
Apollo reserves the right to decide in any instance which
company it will co-operate with as a partner in determining the
compatibility of products that use these protocols.
