Apollo Fire Detectors is launching a new version of its Intelligent Manual Call Point.
The new incarnation will support Apollo’s SOTERIA range of detectors, which were launched in 2014, a year later than the Intelligent Manual Call Point’s first launch.
“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 which we know will be welcomed by our customers,” says Apollo Fire Detectors product manager Tom Crane.
Now a universal product the re-engineered Intelligent Manual Call Point is not only compatible with SOTERIA and CoreProtocol but also backwards-compatible with 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 feedback from our customers,” says 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 which has higher visibility when in alarm.”
The Intelligent Manual Call Points offers Apollo’s 10 year Product Lifetime Guarantee.
