Copies of all component and system certificates, and system drawings are available from
Apollo on request.
Installation of Detectors
Detectors must be fitted to certified IS bases. Use of any other bases will invalidate the
detector certification. Orbis detectors may be fitted to Series 60 systems using an Orbis IS
base adaptor.
The bases must be installed in such a way that all wiring is protected to at least IP20. This
requirement will be met if bases are flush mounted. If bases are mounted on BESA boxes, or
other boxes having a diameter less than 85mm, they should be fitted with XP95 backplates
(Apollo part number 45681-233).
Remote LED indicators may be fitted to Orbis or to XP95 detectors. The LEDs need not be
certified but should be either 3mm or 5mm in diameter. The LED terminations must be
protected to at least IP20 and the circuits must be segregated from other circuits.
Special Conditions for Safe Use
To avoid problems with electrostatic charging of the enclosure, the equipment must not be
located in a dust-laden airflow or cleaned with a dry cloth or with solvents.
Installation of Manual Call Points
Manual call points must be installed to comply with the requirements of the ATEX directive
or another applicable code of regulations. All unused cable entry ports must be sealed
using suitable stopping plugs to give the required level of ingress protection.
Dust Cover
To ensure optimal performance, leave the dust cover on the product and remove on
commissioning.
Further Information
For further information see Apollo publications PP1095 for the XP95 ranges respectively. For
