Apollo MiniDisc Remote Indicator, Compact 80mm Red LED 53832-070APO

What a remote indicator is for

A detector out of sight is hard to check. A remote indicator repeats its alarm light in a place people can see, so they know where the alarm came from before opening a door or climbing into a void.

Typical spots are outside locked rooms, cupboards and ceiling voids, and the system design should decide which detector positions need one.

How it connects

The unit has three connection points, marked A, B and C. C is the negative, and A and B are both positive.

• A and C: used with Series 65, Orbis, Orbis Intrinsically Safe, XP95, Discovery and Soteria detectors.
• B and C: used with AlarmSense and XP95 Intrinsically Safe detectors. Choosing the wrong pair is the mistake to avoid here.

Where to use it

Its slim shape suits corridors and other public areas, where a bulky device would stand out. The anti-tamper screw helps in places people can reach, because it protects against unauthorised removal.

Keep within the operating range of -10 ºC to +60 ºC.

What the figures mean in practice

• 5 - 36 V: a wide band, alongside a long list of Apollo detector families.
• 25 mA up to 40ºC: this is the most current through B and C, and the figure is limited by that temperature.

Installing it

• Fix the base: hang it on the keyhole fixings at 50 mm or 60 mm centres, whichever pair suits the fixing points.
• Close the lid: turn the lid onto its bayonet lock, then fit the anti-tamper screw.

Standards and ratings explained

The EMC Directive 2014/30/EU covers electrical interference. This does not confer compliance on any apparatus or systems connected to the indicator, so the wider system needs its own check.
