Apollo XP95 Multi-Sensor Detector Optical and Heat Combined

In environments where false alarms are a persistent problem with standard optical smoke detectors, a multi-sensor approach offers a practical solution. The Apollo XP95 multi-sensor detector uses both optical and heat sensing together, requiring a combination of signal thresholds from both technologies before triggering an alarm. This significantly reduces the likelihood of false activations caused by cooking odours, steam, cigarette smoke, or dust while still responding quickly to real fire conditions.

Apollo XP95 is one of the most established and widely respected addressable fire alarm protocols in the UK, found in hospitals, hotels, office buildings, universities, and commercial premises across the country. The XP95 multi-sensor operates on the Apollo protocol, integrating directly into any XP95-compatible addressable panel with its own unique loop address.

The dual technology approach is particularly well suited to areas adjacent to canteens, kitchens, communal corridors in office buildings, and anywhere where nuisance alarms from a single-technology optical detector have been an issue. By specifying a multi-sensor in these locations, the system design balances sensitivity with selectivity.

For fire alarm engineers managing complex building environments across London and the UK where false alarms are a management concern, the Apollo XP95 multi-sensor detector provides a proven and widely trusted technical solution.
