APPLICATIONS FOR REACH WIRELESS
REACH Wireless is Apollo’s latest hybrid range. It saves you time and solves installation problems. It is ideal for time sensitive installations where lengthy downtime or disruption is not an option.
Extensions
REACH Wireless allows an existing fire system to be extended by bridging
wireless devices to the wired loop, using the REACH Loop Interface. A new fire
loop is not required, which reduces cost and effort – especially if the
existing panel doesn’t have any more available loops, as long as there is
spare capacity on the loop.
Outbuildings
Similar to extensions, REACH Wireless can extend the existing loop seamlessly
to outbuildings, without having to dig a trench and lay trunking. This
eliminates the need for a second, independent panel and loop for your
outbuilding or additional structure.
Heritage
Heritage or listed buildings typically have additional restrictions on
disrupting the fabric of the building by breaking walls or adding trunking. In
this case, it is easier to install surface-mounted wireless products to meet
fire system requirements.
Temporary buildings
Temporary or retail structures can have restrictions on allowable
modifications, or may need to be installed in a short timeframe. REACH
Wireless can be surveyed ahead of time off-site and installation is quick,
minimising time onsite or downtime for the building.
Black detectors
Black detectors provide a premium aesthetic for high end interiors.
Specifiable feature in projects with exposed or black ceilings in industrial
themed commercial facilities, such as cinemas, nightclubs, hotels, industrial
high-end interiors, airports and restaurants.
WHY CHOOSE REACH WIRELESS
