Apollo Call Points

Apollo call points are manual call points that start a fire alarm when operated by hand, plus their covers and keys. This page has the AlarmSense 55400-894APO red call point, certified to EN 54-11 for two-wire AlarmSense systems, a transparent clip-on hinged cover that must be lifted before a call point is operated, and a pack of 10 reset keys for Apollo XP95 call points.

Choosing Apollo Call Points

An Apollo call point is a manual call point from Apollo Fire that starts a fire alarm when its element is pressed; the 55400-894APO, for example, is an AlarmSense manual call point with a resettable operating element. Match the call point to the fire alarm system first, then add the cover or keys that testing and maintenance need.

AlarmSense two-wire operation

The 55400-894APO is designed to operate on a loop of AlarmSense compatible two wire fire alarm systems and works with AlarmSense compatible control panels. When activated, it introduces a load onto the line; the fire control panel detects it and increases the line voltage, which activates the sounders. The 55400-894APO shows an alarm through rotation of its resettable element, with yellow and black indication bars and a solid red LED.

Construction and certification

The 55400-894APO is moulded in fire retardant polycarbonate, carries EN 54-11 certification and suits semi flush or surface mounting. Its 170° viewable LED and front reset mechanism make checks easier, and it resets with the supplied reset key.

Reset keys and covers

The 44251-176APO is a pack of 10 plastic reset and test keys that let authorised personnel operate and reset Apollo XP95 manual call points for routine testing without breaking the glass element. The 44251-189APO is a transparent hinged cover for single Apollo manual call points: its clip-on clear lid must be lifted before the call point is operated, helping to reduce accidental or malicious activations while the call point stays visible for inspection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between conventional and addressable Apollo call points?

A conventional call point signals an alarm on its zone, so the panel shows which zone operated. An addressable call point has its own address, so the panel shows exactly which device operated. Apollo makes conventional and addressable call points, and a call point must suit the protocol of the panel it connects to. The range here includes an Apollo AlarmSense call point.

What is an Apollo call point?

An Apollo call point is a manual call point made by Apollo Fire Detectors, used to raise an alarm by hand. Apollo makes call points for its different fire systems, such as its AlarmSense two-wire range and its addressable systems, so choose one that works with the panel it will connect to. The range here includes an Apollo call point, a pack of reset keys and a hinged cover.
