Enhancing the Installer Experience with Digital Installation Guides

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the installer experience and reducing environmental impact, Apollo has been quietly evolving how product information is delivered. Many of our most widely used devices, including the Discovery Base Sounder and the Soteria Base Sounder range, now feature QR code access to digital Installation Guides.

This shift has already helped reduce over 250,000 printed pages in the past year alone for our Discovery and Soteria Base Sounder ranges. That’s the equivalent of saving around 30 trees or avoiding the carbon emissions of driving a petrol car from London to Edinburgh and back nearly 10 times. But the benefits go well beyond sustainability.

This change is about more than just going paperless. Digital Installation Guides offer a range of benefits:

• Designed for mobile – zoom in on diagrams and wiring details with ease
• Quick to navigate – search instead of flipping through pages
• Always current – no risk of outdated printed instructions
• Supports multiple languages and formats for better accessibility
• Reduces paper waste and supports our sustainability commitments

It’s a small change that’s making a big difference.

The Discovery Base Sounder and Soteria Base Sounder Visual Indicators continue to be trusted choices across a wide range of installations. With digital guides now standard, they’re even easier to install and support in the field. Following the success of this approach with Discovery and Soteria, we will soon be removing printed Installation Guides from the Intelligent Input/Output Module (250V AC).

We’ll continue to expand this approach across our product portfolio, ensuring that our documentation is as modern and accessible as the devices it supports.

Scan. Zoom. Install. It’s that simple.
