The SOTERIA® Optical Detector uses new optical sensing technology PureLight®, to detect smoke particles entering the chamber. PureLight™ marks a new stage in the development of Apollo optical technology and aims to reduce the possibility of false alarms and to increase the reliability of detection of a real fire.

Backwards Compatibility:

Soteria detectors have been designed to operate on XP95 and Discovery loops. This allows for Soteria detectors and bases to operate on existing systems and for Soteria detectors to operate on XP95 and Discovery bases (XPERT 7 Intelligent Mounting Base). It should be noted that not all features of Soteria will be available when used with XP95 or Discovery fire control panels.

If Soteria detectors are used with XP95 fire control panels incorporating drift compensation algorithms, these must be disabled when communicating with Soteria devices. When Soteria detectors are used with an XPERT 7 Intelligent Mounting Base on a CoreProtocol system, Soteria devices will have a +128 address offset due to only 7 address pips being available on the XPERT 7 card. For example, an XPERT 7 card set at 32 will address as 160 on CoreProtocol with Soteria detectors.
