XPander is Apollo's wireless intelligent detector range.
Detectors are often installed in buildings where wiring presents
a challenge. This could be because the fabric of the building or
its design will be negatively affected by the use of cables. It is
sometimes very difficult to introduce cable runs into buildings
which were not designed for the modern age. It is for these
architecturally sensitive buildings that XPander has been
developed.
XPander is a system in which individual detectors, call points
and alarm devices communicate with the XP95 loop by radio signals. An interface is
connected to the loop in the same way as any other interface, such
as an Input/Output Unit.
The XPander technical literature is to be used in
conjunction with the XPander training that we provide. It is
at your own risk if you use this literature before attending
the training course.
Please note up to 5 interfaces can be installed per
site if more are requiredcontact Apollo's
Product Support team on 02392 492412 for approval prior to
ordering.
Every XPander device is assigned an address and this address is
recognised by the control panel in the same way as is the address
of any device connected directly to the loop wiring.
The XPander range consists of:
• Optical Smoke Detector
• Multisensor Smoke Detector
• A1R Heat Detector
• CS Heat Detector
• Sounder
• Sounder Beacon
• Manual Call Point
• Interface Module
The inclusion of alarm devices such as the sounder beacon help make
XPander systems compliant with the Disability Discrimination
Act.
