The XPander Diversity Loop Interface Unit acts as the bridge between Apollo wired loops and XPander Wireless products. Each XPander device’s status is reported to the wired fire control panel via XP95 protocol (compatible with Discovery). XPander is not compatible with CoreProtocol.

Brand Information:

XPander incorporates entirely new designs with respect to the wireless communication system. A Radio Interface is connected to the loop. It communicates with the control panel using the Apollo addressable two-wire power and communications system. The interface communicates with the detection and alarm signalling devices by means of radio waves. The detectors are multistate in that they report normal, pre-alarm, fire or fault states to the radio base which transmits the information to the interface.

The detectors incorporate drift compensation and report any compensation limit occurring. The radio bases and signalling devices are addressable and use a pre-set analogue value to report via the XP95 or Discovery protocol. Apart from normal and fire the bases can send pre-set analogue values to indicate low battery, detector contaminated, detector tamper and low signal strength fault conditions.

Features:

• Great for expanding an existing wired Apollo loop into extensions or nearby outbuildings
• Only the Loop-Interface requires wiring (loop-powered), all other XPander devices are battery-powered and surface-mounted
• Up-to 31 wireless XPander devices can be connected to a single XPander Loop Interface
• Up-to 5 Loop Interfaces can be installed onto the wired loop to increase the amount of wireless devices that can be used
• EN54-25 Wireless Fire Detection communication
• On-board LCD display for configuration and status reporting
