ApOLLO DEvICES
Apollo Discovery detectors and manual call points have
the following specific configurable parameters that must
be set within the Apollo Editor in S 3 :
Loop Device Type
All the Apollo loop devices supported by the ASH Module
are listed. Once a device has been chosen from the list,
different parameters must be configured based on the
selected device.
Group Address (Sounders)
Sounders and sounder control units may be configured to
operate in a group mode. All the sounders in a particular
group will activate simultaneously, whether continuous
or pulsed. For synchronized evacuation signalling,
approved signalling devices must be connected.
Time Delay
A time delay between 0 and 30 seconds may be
configured for the time an Apollo device must be
continuously in alarm before the controller annunciates
the condition. The alarm must be present for the entire
delay time.
Day/Night Mode
The day/night mode is an option to allow the response
mode (sensitivity) of Apollo detectors to be automatically
adjusted to 1 of 2 values throughout a 24-hour period
(this mode applies to loop device detectors only). This
feature is useful for adjusting detector sensitivity where
occasional time specific interference may occur.
Day mode Start / Stop time
The day/night mode is enabled simply by setting the
day response mode to a different value than the night
response mode. The start and stop times are then set
according to the desired switchover time. At the start
time, the response mode is set to the “Day Mode Start
Time” setting. At the stop time, the response mode is set
to the “Day Mode Stop Time” setting.
If the day response mode value is set equal to the night
response mode, the day/night mode functionality is
effectively disabled. The default value for the start time
is 8:00 AM, and 10:00 PM for the stop time. The start and
stop times are processed in 15-minute increments.
Response modes (Sensitivity)
All Discovery detectors have a sensitivity parameter that
may be set to 1 of 5 different levels. The most sensitive
level is 1, and the least sensitive level is 5. The default
value for both the day response mode and the night
response mode is 3. See the table below for all the
sensitivity levels.
Mode Sensitivity
1 Very High
2 High
3 Medium (Default)
4 Low
5 Very Low
Flashing led mode
The flashing LED mode is a configuration parameter that
is part of Apollo Discovery loop devices. When this mode
is active, the local LEDs on the loop device will flash when
they are polled.
Limitations
In order to prevent current overload, the number of
sounder control modules must be limited to 20 modules.
Loop devices in alarm will have their local LEDs activated.
To limit the amount of current on the loop, the maximum
number of local LEDs that may be active at any one time
is 10.
Inhibit
Using the point display within S
3 , each Apollo device can
be inhibited individually. Furthermore, using the “Global
Inhibit” function within S 3 ’s device display will inhibit the
ASH Module, causing all devices on an ASH loop to be
inhibited.
