The XP95 mounting base is the wired component of the two-part Apollo XP95 detector assembly. The base handles all loop wiring connections: it connects to the addressable loop and provides the unique address signalling and power for the detector head plugged into it. The detector head itself has no wired connections to the building: all loop connections are made at the base.
This two-part design provides an important practical maintenance benefit: when a detector requires replacement or testing, the head can be unclipped from the base without disturbing the loop wiring. Similarly, during installation, all bases can be wired and fixed during the structural phase before the detector heads are fitted, which prevents damage to the heads during building work.
The intelligent base type is a specific designation within the XP95 range: it provides the full addressable functionality required for analogue addressable loop integration including individual detector addressing, analogue level reporting, and remote test support.
The base is mechanically compatible with XP95 optical smoke detector heads, heat detectors, and other XP95 series detector heads that use the same base footprint. The 45681-210APO base accepts the same detector heads as the standard Apollo XP95 base, with the intelligent protocol communication.
For fire alarm engineers completing XP95 addressable loop installations across London and the UK, the Apollo 45681-210APO provides the intelligent mounting base that accepts the full range of XP95 detector heads.
