Introducing The Intelligent Open-Area Range
Louder. Faster. Smarter.
The OAAV range is designed for seamless integration into various applications. Whether for retrofit or new installations, these intelligent devices are fully compatible with open protocol systems.
These products are now being released to the wider market, starting with the UK and followed by the EU and the Rest of the World.
Key Features and Benefits
- Faster Installation & Maintenance: Connecting directly to an Apollo XPERT Base, the OAAV range simplifies installation and saves time on site.
- Adjustable Volume: 7 volume levels offer adaptability to match varying application requirements while maintaining compliance- and the option to save on current draw where maximum volumes aren't required.
- High dB Output across 15 Tones: Enhanced sound output covers extensive open areas, effectively combating dB drop across installations with 15 Tone Pairs available to cover varying application requirements.
- Adjustable VID Flash Rates: Adjustable flash rates on the Sounder VID and VID devices enable varied indication options.
- Protocol Compatibility: Fully compatible with Apollo protocols, the OAAV range is suitable for new and existing systems.
Adaptability and Integration
The OAAV range is designed for seamless integration into various applications. Whether for retrofit or new installations, these intelligent devices are fully compatible with open protocol systems. The range features:
- Customisable Performance: Tone selection, Volume level and flash configuration enable the OAAV range to cater for a variety of onsite requirements.
- Application-specific feature set: Specific requirements are catered for with a non-EN approved volume level for applications such as Healthcare, and the Simulated Bell Tone and noise pollution auto-silence features for Education.
- Magnetic Wand Functionality: Volume setting and testing at the device location is enabled via magnetic wand functionality, simplifying commission.
- Adaptable and future-proofed: Backwards compatible and futureproofed, the OAAV range works natively across protocols to ensure retrofit and new applications are viable, while configurable volume levels accommodate for a change in the purpose of rooms/spaces.
Family Features and Cost Efficiency
The OAAV range offers Discovery-level functionality as standard, offering a comprehensive AV suite with additional features than it's predecessors. Increased functionality and improved performance can result in cost efficiency by potentially reducing the number of devices required to maintain sound pressure level limits throughout spaces.
We've seen an increasing market need for our AV range to offer improved functionality and adaptability to tackle increasing demands on-site and in specification. The Intelligent OAAV range offers a significantly louder product with Discovery-level features as standard, propelling Apollo's Open-Area AV offering to the next level.
Quality Assurance and Compliance
Apollo ensures the highest standard of safety and compliance with approved tones and third-party testing. The OAAV range includes:
- Acoustic Self-Test: Ensure system integrity with self-monitoring and fault-flagging in the event sounders fail to operate
- Compliance: 15 Tone Pairs offer third-party approved Evacuate and Alert tones to accommodate different evacuation strategies, meaning you can be safe in the knowledge of using compliant devices.
- Trusted: Apollo is the UK's leading manufacturer of fire detection devices, ensuring the new OAAV range is a robust and reliable solution.
- Comprehensive Marketing Support: Informative campaigns and resources to educate customers and ease the transition to the new product range.
Legacy and New Market Integration
As an intelligent range, the OAAV products cater to legacy and new protocols, serving a broad market in new installations and retrofit applications. The range promises to maintain the trusted functionality of XP and Discovery protocols while introducing advanced, future-proof features.
