Isolation provides Class A / X short-circuit protection by disconnecting the network segment associated with a short to allow the remaining intact network to function. When the short is resolved the isolators automatically reconnect the segment. The isolation mechanism differs depending on product family:
- Soteria Family devices include isolators in the detector head. The Soteria base include a mechanical ‘wiper’ arm that ensures the loop is maintained when the head is removed.
- Discovery and XP95 Family detectors do not have isolators in the head and instead depend on isolators that are located in the base.
Soteria UL Base
The Soteria UL Base – 4″ base is an easy-fit 4″ base, compatible with Apollo’s latest Soteria UL and XP95A detector ranges.
- Single base that supports isolated Soteria UL and non-isolated XP95A detectors
- 8 bit address card for additional address support when used with Soteria UL detectors and CoreProtocol
- Designed to replace shallow and deep bases
- Easy-fit, easy to install and saving time
- Model SA5000-210APO
XPERT 8 Base
The XPERT 8 Base is a universal base that fits all Apollo detectors. It can be used with Soteria EN and non-Isolated Discovery and XP95 devices.
- Wide interior diameter for ease of access to cables and terminals
- ‘E-Z Fit’ allows for simple mounting of the detector base after wiring
- Isolated wiper – maintains loop connectivity during temporary removal of devices
- Model SA5000-200APO
XP95 and Discovery Marine Isolating Base
The marine approved base senses and isolates short circuit faults on XP95 and Discovery loops and spurs.
- Up to 20 detectors or their equivalent load, may be installed between isolating bases
- High-brightness LED
- Detects wiring short-circuits
- Minimizes disruption from short-circuits
- Model 45681-286MAR
Discovery UL Isolating Base
The UL approved base senses and isolates short circuit faults on XP95 and Discovery loops and spurs.
- Up to 20 detectors or their equivalent load, may be installed between isolating bases
- High-brightness LED
- Detects wiring short-circuits
- Minimizes disruption from short-circuits
- Model 45681-284UL
Isolator Head / Isolator Base
This isolator is a stand-alone alternate solution to detector head / base isolators that provides isolation in Class A networks. The pair is placed at intervals on the loop to ensures that, in the case of a short circuit, only the section between the isolators will be affected. When the short circuit is removed, the isolators automatically restore power and data to the isolated section.
- Detects wiring short-circuits using patented technology
- Minimizes disruption from short-circuits
- Automatic de-isolation on short-circuit removal
- Up to 20 devices may be installed between isolators
- Model 55000-750USA
- The Isolator Base is unique and designed to only accept the Isolator 55000-750USA
- Model 45681-286MAR
