Smoke Sensitivity
Switches 2 and 3 are used to set the smoke sensitivity level. The default setting (normal sensitivity)
is in line with the nominal value applied to the Apollo XP95 optical detectors which are set at an
appropriate detection threshold to meet EN54-7. Higher sensitivity should only be selected for much
cleaner applications. Selection of a higher sensitivity threshold could cause a higher rate of false
alarms and should be avoided unless the environment is known to be reliably clean throughout the
year.
Using sensitivity “Low” is not CNPP approved.
