Apollo Fire Detectors has launched a new mobile ‘app’ for iOS and Android devices to help users ensure compliance with BS 5839-1 rules and regulations when installing fire detection and notification devices.
In addition to the guide, an installation checklist enables installers to monitor what has been completed. The app, downloadable from the Apollo website, Google Play Store, and Apple’s App Store, also features an XPERT Card and DIL Switch addressing system for anyone addressing Apollo detectors on a system. The XPERT card can be simply addressed by inputting the address to see which pips to remove, or by selecting the removed pips to check the address of a pre-addressed XPERT card. Similarly with the DIL Switch, the installer can find out how to set the switches to create the address required.
Sales and marketing director, Ed Browning, said: “Our existing app has been very popular with UK specifiers and installers, providing additional peace of mind that they are installing our devices in accordance with the British standard. Our new app has been re-developed to improve user experience, and is compatible with the latest mobile devices.”
