Following the launch of its original Manual Call Point in 2013, Apollo Fire Detectors has developed a version which will support its new SOTERIA range of detectors.
Tom Crane, product manager, explained: “The development of SOTERIA and CoreProtocol – our new generation detectors and operating protocol – gave us the opportunity to improve upon our original Manual Call Point by including some additional features.”
One of the main features of the new Intelligent Manual Call Point is that it is a universal product, designed both to fit with SOTERIA and CoreProtocol, but also engineered to be backwardscompatible with the Discovery and XP95 digital protocols incorporated in the same unit.
“The development of this new Intelligent Manual Call Point has enabled us to evaluate the device as a whole and listen to valuable customer feedback,” continued Tom Crane. “This has resulted in a number of design changes, including the front assembly becoming a sealed unit, a retaining clip to hold the E-Z fit connector in place, a mounting bracket which the Manual Call Point slides onto to improve the ease of installation, and a resettable element with higher visibility when in alarm.”
