  Apollo conventional fire alarm optical smoke detectors.

  Apollo supply tried ...and tested products. The 55000 217APO fits into a number of base options so could be combined to work with a sounders removing the necessity to have separate components mounted in an application. This is likely to be esthetically more pleasing or at least less obtrusive. This product is for hard wired conventional fire alarm systems and the detector can be removed and re-fitted in moments. The optical smoke detector is particularly good for detecting fires that smoulder so are good for living rooms, bedrooms and escape routes. I purchased this product at a very reasonable rate from an ebay seller who gave me a great multi-buy deal with combined postage so look around before paying full price! Full technical specifications can be sought from the Apollo website quoting the model number above, however, the writer of this review takes no responsibility for you purchasing the correct product for your application. Advice from a professional and qualified alarm designer/installer should be sought when choosing the right system for you and I take no responsibility for the information contained within this product review.

  Not sure about reliability as old one lasted only 2 years

  But, silver lining... for my wife, when the old one false alarmed (we have a connected alarm system), this caused the fire brigade to turn up. She was chuffed with this early Christmas present: burly uniformed fireman marching through the kitchen asking where the fire was! I was less pleased with the fact that it faulted after 2 years, but the rest of them are working fine, so maybe just a rogue one.

  As described

  I bought this to replace one that failed on a system that has 1...0 smoke detectors fitted. It was delivered on time and works and was good value. However, I'm not impressed that the detector does not fail safe - I only realised the old one was faulty when I used a smoke canister on it and nothing happened. This is the 5th detector to fail in 9 years and they all failed the same way.
