  • For hot spaces – class CS, with a maximum application temperature of 80°C
  • Simple to wire – two wire monitored supply, polarity insensitive
  • Runs on a wide voltage range – 9 V to 33 V
  • Shows when it has operated – red light emitting diode alarm indicator

For installers

  • Power: supply voltage 9 V to 33 V, alarm voltage 6 V to 28 V dc. Holding voltage 6 V, holding current 10 mA.
  • Mounting: 100 mm diameter x 42 mm height, 80 g. Designed to IP54.
  • Cabling: two wire monitored supply, polarity insensitive. L1 IN and L2 are supply in, L1 OUT and L2 supply out, and -R is the remote indicator negative.
  • Compatibility: a Series 65 detector on a conventional circuit. Check the panel's documentation for compatibility.
  • Standards: approvals across the range are CPR, LPCB, VdS, VNIIPO, SBSC, FG and BOMBA, and not all detectors have all approvals.

Frequently asked questions

What does class CS mean on this detector?

It sets the temperatures. Class CS has a maximum application temperature of 80°C and a maximum static response temperature of 100°C.

Is this a rate of rise heat detector?

Rate of rise response belongs to versions with a pair of matched thermistors. This CS version uses a single NTC thermistor network.

How much current does it draw?

Confirm the quiescent and alarm current with Apollo before finalising a circuit design.

Does it have a flashing LED?

No. This part is the CS standard version, with a red light emitting diode as its alarm indicator.

Does the wiring have a polarity?

No. It is a two wire monitored supply and is polarity insensitive.

Which approvals does it hold?

Approvals across the range are CPR, LPCB, VdS, VNIIPO, SBSC, FG and BOMBA, and not all detectors have all approvals. Check this part against your specification.

Apollo Series 65 Heat Detector, Class CS, 80°C Application 55000-137APO

What this heat detector does

A heat detector reacts to temperature rather than to smoke particles. That makes it useful in rooms where smoke detection would keep false-alarming, such as plant rooms and some kitchens.

This Apollo detector is part of the Series 65 range and is sold here in class CS form. It suits installers and maintainers working on conventional systems in harsh or hot areas.

How it works

  • Thermistor: this is a part whose electrical resistance changes with temperature. CS variants use a single NTC thermistor network, and NTC means the resistance falls as the temperature rises.
  • Alarm signal: the signal processing electronics sit on a printed circuit board inside the moulded case. The output voltage tracks the air outside the detector.
  • Case: the housing is white flame retardant polycarbonate, and the terminals are nickel plated stainless steel.

Where to use it

When choosing between Apollo's heat detector classes, CS is the route where the temperature can increase suddenly.

A heat detector is slower to respond than a smoke detector in most fires, so it is not a straight swap on an escape route. The system designer decides what goes where.

What the figures mean in practice

  • Application temperature: 80°C is the highest normal ambient the class is meant for. It is not the point at which it responds, which is a separate figure.
  • Lighting the indicator: the alarm indicator needs a minimum of 12 V, even though the detector can hold at a lower voltage.
  • Operating range: the detector works from -20°C to +80°C, so it can also suit cold areas within that range.

Installing it

A remote indicator is connected through the -R terminal, a current sink to the negative line limited to 17 mA.

Detector heads are normally sold without a base, so allow a compatible mounting base for each position.

Planning your system

Get the quiescent and alarm figures from Apollo before you finish a circuit design. Check the panel's end-of-line and load limits at the same time.

Use the same maker's range across a circuit where you can, as that keeps the compatibility question simple.
