Apollo Fire Detectors Ltd is one of the

world’s largest manufacturers of fire
detectors, modules and notification devices.
Established in 1980, Apollo has been
supplying fire detection products to system
providers in the USA since 1992. Apollo
detectors are installed in landmark buildings
such as the Statue of Liberty and the Staples
Center in Los Angeles.
Apollo has established a research and
development facility in Louisville, Kentucky
in order to support the development of
products for the US market that comply
with the requirements of Underwriters
Laboratories and the National Fire Protection
Association.
Apollo detectors and modules are available
through fire detection system providers.

1 (502) 964-6565 or visit www.apollo-fire.com

Apollo has developed several lines of detectors for the

UL/ULC/FM markets and those markets which require
these classifications. Apollo has carefully researched
and developed its products to ensure that they meet not
only the UL and other standards but also the demands of
today’s high technology environments.

6 Analog Addressable Fire Detection : XP95A UL/ULC/FM

XP95A
Analog Addressable Fire Detection
The XP95A range of analog addressable
fire detectors is advanced in design and
performance and offers unique features that
benefit both the installer and the end user.

XP95A uses a ‘central intelligence’ system where all the decisions

are made by the control panel. Each detector is addressed using
Apollo’s patented XPERT Card and supplied with the mounting
bases. The XP95A product line includes an ionization detector, a
photo-electric detector, a heat detector, a multisensor, an isolator
and a series of modules.

Key features of XP95A include:
