Apollo Fire Detectors develops open-protocol fire-detection devices, including addressable and conventional detectors, manual call points, interfaces and alarm devices.
Technology in focus
Intelligent detection.Connected fire alarms.
Addressable detectors tell your panel which device has activated. Conventional systems identify the affected zone.
01
Open-protocol choice
Works with control panels that support Apollo protocols.
02
Smoke, heat and multi-sensor
Choose the sensing method for your space.
03
A connected range
Detectors, call points, interfaces and alarm devices.
Apollo open protocol
More choice for the life of your system
Choose a panel that supports your Apollo devices. The protocol is how the panel and devices communicate.
Examples of panel ranges with Apollo-compatible versions. Choose one suitable panel system.

Check the exact panel and devices
Open protocol gives you a choice of panel manufacturer. It does not mean every panel or device works together.
Selected Apollo devices are assessed for use in SIL 2 safety functions. Check the exact device certificate and safety manual; this is not a rating for every Apollo system.
Approvals depend on the exact detector family, model and regional variant.

Technical considerations
Apollo describes its addressable portfolio as open protocol, allowing compatible control-panel manufacturers to implement Apollo device communications.
CoreProtocol supports the Soteria generation, while established XP95 and Discovery families remain important compatibility references.
Compatibility depends on the panel software, loop capacity and the bases and isolators used with each detector.
Available approvals
LPCB and VdS
UL, ULC and FM
Marine type approvals
IECEx on relevant intrinsically safe products
Approvals depend on the exact detector family, model and regional variant.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers
Is Apollo an open protocol?
Apollo describes its addressable systems as open protocol. The control panel must still explicitly support the chosen Apollo protocol and device range.
Can XP95, Discovery and Soteria devices be mixed?
Some panels support more than one Apollo range, making phased upgrades possible. The combinations available depend on the panel model, protocol and software version.
Are all Apollo products LPCB, UL or marine approved?
Approvals vary by model and regional version. Each product’s certificate lists the variants it covers.
What is the difference between conventional and addressable detectors?
A conventional system reports the zone where an alarm starts. An addressable system identifies individual devices. Choose detectors and bases supported by your control panel.
What details do I need to order a replacement Apollo detector?
Send the detector part number, base model and control-panel model. Include a photograph of the labels and the panel software version if available.
Should I choose smoke, heat or a multi-sensor detector?
The choice depends on the fire risk and normal conditions in the room. Steam, dust and cooking fumes can affect smoke detection. Have the system designer select the detector type and settings for the space.
