Apollo Discovery Weatherproof Manual Call Point, KAC Style
Summary
The Apollo Discovery Waterproof Manual Call Point is specifically designed for outdoor fire detection applications or environments where water and dirt exposure is a concern. With its IP67 waterproof rating and robust polycarbonate/ABS construction, this manual call point provides reliable fire alarm activation even in the harshest conditions.
Operating on Apollo’s intelligent Discovery protocol, the call point interrupts the polling cycle when activated to ensure extremely fast emergency response times. The device features an easily resettable element rather than traditional break glass, allowing for quick reset after testing or false alarms without the need for replacement parts.
The innovative ‘Plug and Play’ installation concept significantly reduces installation time, with all cabling terminated to a convenient terminal block that fits neatly in the back of the unit. Available in both non-isolated (58100-950) and isolated (58100-951) versions, the isolated model incorporates a short circuit isolator to maintain operation even if a short circuit fault occurs elsewhere on the loop.

FAQ
What is the difference between the 58100-950 and 58100-951 models?
The 58100-950 is the non-isolated version, whilst the 58100-951 includes a short circuit isolator. The isolated version ensures continued operation even if a short circuit fault occurs elsewhere on the detection loop, providing enhanced system reliability.
Can this call point be used outdoors?
Yes, the Apollo Discovery Waterproof Manual Call Point has an IP67 rating, making it fully suitable for outdoor installations and environments where water and dirt exposure is a concern.
How is the call point reset after activation?
The call point is easily reset by inserting the test key into the bottom of the unit until it clicks into position. Remove the test key and push the front cover up until it clicks home. No replacement parts are required as it uses a resettable element rather than break glass.
What control panels is this call point compatible with?
The Discovery Waterproof Manual Call Point operates only with control equipment using the Apollo Discovery digital protocol. It will not function with other manufacturers’ systems or non-Discovery Apollo panels.
What temperature range can this call point operate in?
The call point has a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +70°C, making it suitable for both extreme cold and hot environments.
Does the call point require external power?
No, the call point is loop powered and draws its power directly from the fire detection loop, operating at 17-28V DC with very low power consumption.
