Series 65A Heat Detector

The Series 65A Heat Detector from Apollo is a conventional fire detection device designed to provide reliable and effective temperature-based fire detection. It is intended for use as part of a conventional fire alarm system and is particularly suitable for environments where heat detection is more appropriate than smoke detection due to normal operating or environmental conditions.

The detector continuously monitors the temperature of the surrounding environment and responds when the thermal conditions meet the operating characteristics of the selected detector model. Once an alarm condition is detected, the device communicates through the conventional detection circuit to the connected fire alarm control panel, allowing the system to initiate the appropriate alarm response.

The Series 65A range includes different heat detector variants designed to provide suitable response characteristics for various applications. This allows system designers to select an appropriate detector according to the expected ambient temperature, environmental conditions, and fire detection requirements of the protected area.

As a conventional detector, the Series 65A operates as part of a zone-based fire alarm system. When a detector enters an alarm condition, the fire alarm control panel identifies the affected zone, helping building personnel determine the general location of the event and take the appropriate action.

Heat detection can be particularly useful in areas where smoke, dust, steam, or other airborne particles may be present during normal operation and could make smoke detection less suitable. In these environments, the Series 65A provides a practical method of detecting abnormal temperature conditions associated with a developing fire.

The detector is designed for integration with compatible conventional fire alarm control panels and can operate alongside other conventional system components, including optical smoke detectors, manual call points, sounders, visual notification devices, and other fire alarm equipment. This allows it to form part of a coordinated fire detection and notification system.

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

The Series 65A Heat Detector is suitable for a broad range of applications, including commercial buildings, offices, service areas, public facilities, institutional buildings, storage areas, and industrial projects, particularly where temperature-based detection is preferred over smoke detection.

By combining reliable heat sensing, conventional zone-based operation, multiple detector variants, straightforward system integration, and a practical installation design, the Apollo Series 65A Heat Detector provides a dependable solution for conventional fire detection systems across a wide variety of applications.
