Apollo has launched a fire detector designed for 12 V applications like non-latching security systems.

The 12V Relay Base, designed to allow the company’s Series 65 range of smoke and heat detectors to be incorporated into 12V home security installations, uses a single volt-free changeover contact, and should operate over a range of 9V – 15V DC.
In order to operate, the base requires a Series 65 detector. Options from this range include the optical and ionisation smoke detectors, and various heat detectors.
Apollo said: “A jumper on the base’s PCB can be set to ‘latching’ for fire systems, and ‘non-latching’ for security systems. In latching mode, an alarm state will continue until it is manually reset, whereas in the non-latching mode it will automatically reset both the base and the detector in order to integrate with a security system.
“As with all Series 65 bases, a ‘one way only’ fit system is in place which makes it both easy and safe to correctly fit the detector to the base.”
