Apollo Alarmsense Open Area Sounder Visual Indicator - Red

The AlarmSense Open-Area Sounder Visual Indicator is designed for use in open-areas. Operation AlarmSense sounders and manual call points are fitted to the same zone as detectors. In quiescent state, the zone is powered at between 9V and 15V, nominally 12V, at which only detectors and call points operate. Sounders require 24V to operate. When an alarm is detected on a zone, the control panel increases the line voltage to 24V on that zone causing the sounders to produce a continuous 'Evacuate' sound. Any voltage-sensitive output devices - relay modules or other alarm devices - also operate. When the voltage is increased to 24V, the detector alarm current will reduce to 1.5mA. The detectors are latched in alarm until they are reset by reducing the voltage to less than 2V for greater than 1 second. Output devices will de-activate each time the voltage is reduced to 12V unless otherwise stated in their specification. It is possible to generate an 'Alert' tone by pulsing the supply voltage from 12V to 24V and the sounders configured to continuous output. Pulse frequency of 1 second on, 1 second off, is recommended for compliance with BS5839 Pt1. System Compatibility The AlarmSense Open-Area Sounder Beacon can only be used in a system that is powered and controlled by purpose designed AlarmSense fire control panels.

Firesense is a leading independent UK distributor of fire detection, fire safety and security equipment, supporting professional installers and businesses across the country. Established in 1992 and based in Tunbridge Wells, the company has more than 30 years of experience within the fire and security industry.

Originally founded as a specialist manufacturer of conventional fire alarm control panels, Firesense has developed into a comprehensive supplier of fire detection, security, emergency lighting and life safety products. The company works with a wide range of recognised manufacturers, helping customers access reliable equipment for projects of different sizes and requirements.

Firesense supplies conventional, addressable, wireless and two-wire fire alarm systems alongside detectors, control panels, manual call points, sounders, cables, batteries, emergency lighting, fire alarm testing equipment and related accessories. Its expanding security range also includes CCTV, intruder alarm, access control and smart security solutions.

A key strength of Firesense is its experienced technical and account management team. Customers can receive practical product guidance and support when selecting equipment, designing systems or resolving technical enquiries. As an independent distributor, Firesense can recommend suitable products from across its available ranges rather than being restricted to a single manufacturer.

With extensive stock held at its Tunbridge Wells distribution centre, Firesense aims to provide fast and reliable nationwide supply, including rapid dispatch and trade counter collection.
