Apollo Fire Detectors has unveiled the new addressable detectors which form the initial line-up in the SOTERIA detection range, described as ‘the next generation in fire recognition technology’.
The company said: “SOTERIA is the start of an ongoing technology innovation which will see the product range evolve over the next two years. Developed to cover all detection areas, such as heat, optical, and CO individually, or in innovative combinations, the products use exclusive technology shown to reduce both the incidence of false alarms, and any risk of the wrong detector being installed.” The range has been tested at Apollo’s in-house testing facilities, and shown to exceed EN54 standards.
Apollo said: “The PureLight technology behind SOTERIA features both enhancements to the smoke entry process, and a new design of the Cone sensing chamber. Together these features are proven to reduce the risk of false alarm and enhance smoke detection reliability.” The ‘serpentine designed’ smoke entry path provides a wide degree of separation of smoke and dust, and enables smoke to pass to the cone chamber, but acts as a barrier to dust and insects.
