Series 65 Optical Smoke Detector

The Series 65 Optical Smoke Detector from Apollo is a conventional fire detection device designed to provide reliable early warning of smoke generated by developing fires. Using optical sensing technology, the detector monitors the surrounding environment for smoke particles and initiates an alarm condition through the connected conventional fire alarm control system when the appropriate detection threshold is reached.

The optical sensing principle makes the Series 65 detector particularly effective for detecting visible smoke particles, providing dependable protection across a wide range of general fire detection applications. Its design supports stable operation while providing a practical solution for conventional fire alarm installations.

As a conventional detector, the Series 65 Optical Smoke Detector operates as part of a detection zone connected to a compatible conventional fire alarm control panel. When the detector enters an alarm condition, the control panel identifies the affected zone, allowing personnel to determine the general location of the fire condition and begin the appropriate response.

The Series 65 range is available in several versions to meet different installation and maintenance requirements. These include the 55000-317 standard model, the 55000-316 version with a flashing LED indicator, and the 55000-315 version featuring magnetic test capability together with a flashing LED indicator.

The flashing LED option provides a convenient visual indication of detector operation, while the magnetic test feature available on the appropriate model can support routine system testing and maintenance procedures. These variations allow system designers to select the configuration that best matches the operational requirements of the project.

The detector is designed for integration with compatible conventional fire alarm systems and can operate alongside other conventional devices such as heat detectors, manual call points, notification appliances, and fire alarm control panels. This allows it to form part of a complete and coordinated fire detection and alarm solution.

Its compact and practical construction makes the detector suitable for ceiling installation in a variety of building environments. The design also supports straightforward installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance throughout the service life of the fire alarm system.

The Series 65 Optical Smoke Detector is suitable for a broad range of applications, including commercial buildings, offices, hotels, educational facilities, institutional buildings, public facilities, and other general-purpose areas where reliable conventional smoke detection is required.

By combining optical smoke detection, conventional zone-based operation, multiple model options, visual LED indication on selected versions, and magnetic testing capability on the appropriate model, the Apollo Series 65 Optical Smoke Detector provides a practical and dependable solution for conventional fire detection and alarm systems.
