The Apollo XPander Manual Call Point is compliant with EN 54-11. It is wireless and is powered by two independent packs of three AA alkaline batteries with a typical five year life.

Operation

An alarm LED is provided on the call point. This LED is controlled, independently of the call point, by the control panel. The red LED is lit when the call point has been activated.

Call points can be remotely tested from the panel by transmission of a single bit in the communications protocol. Call points respond by providing a value of 64 which corresponds to the alarm value.

XPander Manual Call Points are supplied with a resettable operating element as standard.

The call point uses the “priority interrupt” feature to give a fast response on operation.

This product is tested and approved to the EN54-11 standard.

Electrical Description

The Apollo XPander EN54-11 certified manual call point (MCP) is supplied with 2 packs of 3 ‘AA’ alkaline batteries which provide a working life of typically 3-5 years.

Radio Communications

Fire detection systems are life-saving systems and must, therefore, be highly reliable in use. Radio communications have been developed to a point where high reliability can be guaranteed, provided that the rules for the design of radio systems and installation are carefully observed.

Radio communication technology in the detection has matured to the point where a standard has been drawn up as part of the EN54 family of standards for components of a fire detection system. The standard is EN54 Part 25.

Frequency

The frequency used by XPander is 868MHz which is the harmonised European radio frequency.
