Professional Quality Fire Detectors For 12V Security Systems From Apollo

The 12V Relay Base from Apollo Fire Detectors Ltd. allows the company's Series 65 range of commercial-standard smoke and heat detectors to be easily incorporated into 12V home security installations.

The base uses a single volt-free changeover contact, and can operate over a range of 9V – 15V DC, making it ideal for use in 12V applications such as non-latching security systems. In order to operate, the base requires a Series 65 detector. Options from this range include the Optical and Ionisation smoke detectors, and various Heat detectors.

A jumper on the base's PCB can be set to ‘latching' for fire systems, and ‘non-latching' for security systems. In latching mode, an alarm state will continue until it is manually reset, whereas in the non-latching mode it will automatically reset both the base and the detector in order to integrate with a security system. As with all Series 65 bases, a ‘one way only' fit system is in place which makes it both easy and safe to correctly fit the detector to the base.

Apollo is one of the world's leading manufacturers of conventional and analogue smoke and heat detectors. Popular throughout the world, the company's products are used in over 100 countries in various commercial and industrial applications. The Series 65 12V Relay Base now brings the high quality and refined design that the company's products are known for in the commercial sector to the home security market.
