Apollo Fire Detectors has launched a mobile app to aid compliance with BS 5839-1, the standard for installation of fire detection and notification devices.
The app, which is available on iOS and Android devices, also includes an installation checklist to help installers know when their job is completed.
Available to download from the Apollo website, Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store, the app features an XPERT Card and DIL Switch addressing system. This tool is relevant to anyone addressing Apollo detectors.
The XPERT card can be addressed by inputting the address to identify pips requiring removal, or by selecting removed pips to check the address of a pre-addressed XPERT card. The installer can also discover how to set switches to create the required address for DIL Switchs.
This process can be reversed to discover the address of a pre-addressed unit.
“Our existing app has always been very popular with UK specifiers and installers, providing additional peace of mind that they were installing our devices in accordance with the British standard,” says Apollo sales and marketing director Ed Browning.
“Our new app has been redeveloped to improve user experience and is compatible with the latest mobile devices on the market.”
