Introduction
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. A maximum of 5 interfaces is permitted for each site. For sites that require more than 5
interfaces please contact Apollo.
The radio bases and signalling devices are addressable and use a pre-set analogue value to report via the Apollo
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.
• Up to 5 interfaces per site - contact Apollo for more information
• Up to 31 devices per interface
• Loop-powered interface (Including bi-directional Short Circuit Isolator)
• Wireless addresses seen by control panel as normal addresses
• Radio base with wireless circuitry and battery compartment
• Optical chamber designed to inhibit dirt penetration and thus reduce false alarms
• Automatic drift compensation with DirtAlert™ warning
• Detection algorithms for transient rejection
• FasTest™ reduces time taken to test detectors
• Remote test facility
• 5-year battery life (It is recommended that the battery is changed in year 4 of maintenance)
• Alkaline Panasonic® Powerline or Alkaline Varta® Industrial are the recommended battery types to use
• Modern styling

Environmental
All packaging recyclable.
Disposing of batteries should be in accordance with local regulations.
Handling precautions
As with all electronics, care should be taken during handling. Avoid dropping any of the parts onto hard surfaces,
as damage may occur to the case and internal circuitry.
All products should be kept in their packaging until they are due to be installed to minimise the risk of damage.
Retain all packaging until the installation and commissioning is complete.
Observe anti-static precautions when handling all products. To avoid risk of static discharges do not place static-
sensitive devices on plastic surfaces.

Installation
Installation should be carried out in accordance with the radio survey and system design. Siting of the devices
should be in strict accordance with the survey. Failure to do so could result in loss of performance.
The log on procedure (page 8) along with a completed site survey sheet should be sufficient to obtain a stable
working system, the site survey procedure ensures all XPander devices will communicate correctly once installed.
These sheets need to be completed and kept as commissioning and user documentation to comply with BS5839 -
1 section 2-27 and section 5-39 & 40
This guide provides information on features designed to help commission and troubleshoot a system.
Please note: Should building structure change, the site survey will need to be repeated. The system will not
comply to BS 5839 or other national codes if the site survey is not carried out properly and all supporting paper-
work completed (site survey sheet).

Multiple Interfaces
If more than 1 interface is being used, refer to Appendix B on page 14 before logging on the devices and complete
the checklist on the lid. Interfaces are numbered from 1 to 5. This is not the loop address, it is the frequency ID.
For fault free operation, the interfaces must have the channels set correctly. To do this the interfaces must be
numbered so that the nearest interface to 1 is 2 and the nearest interface to 2 is 3 etc. Start at one end of the site
plan and continue in this manner until all 5 have been labelled. Use the table in Appendix B on page 14 to set the
channels on the interfaces.
Logging on interfaces
Up to 31 wireless detectors or alarm signalling devices may be assigned to a single interface. Prior to adding
devices to the Interface, batteries must be inserted, the power jumper positioned correctly and the mounting
plates fitted. During the device log-on routine, the interface will request confirmation of the device serial number.
This is to be found on the side of the radio module. The XPERT address card must be fitted prior to assigning a
device to the interface. In the case of sounders or sounder visual indicators the tone must be selected using the
5-segment DIL switch on the base of the sounder or sounder visual indicator.
Note: I/O Units and the Combined Sounder Visual Indicator Base do not have an XPert card, the addressing is set
by a DIL switch.

Logon procedure
Ensure batteries are installed correctly and fit the battery jumper (shown below) across both header pins.
Note: The XPander Combined Sounder (Visual Indicator) uses a DIL switch to connect the battery supply.
Push the rotary select switch on the interface and release. Turn until “add new device” is shown on the menu and
push to select. On the device press the log-on button (shown below) for two seconds. A LED on the device will
flash.
A five-figure code will be displayed on the interface similar to below. This is the XPander device’s unique ID.
Turn the rotary select switch to ‘Yes’ and push to select. The menu will return to ‘add new device’.
Check the device’s unique ID against the ID on the label of the product to ensure that it matches.
Repeat steps to add more devices.

XPander detectors incorporate algorithms to minimise unwanted alarms
whilst maintaining a high level of protection. The FasTest™ function
reduces the number of detection samples required for an alarm condition
therefore making it quicker to test detectors. When FasTest™ is selected
the device’s LED will flash once a second. After a pre-selected period of
time the device will return to normal operating mode. This period applies
to all detectors logged on to the interface. Once selected, a count-down
time is displayed. On receipt of an alarm from a detector, the timer
resets to the period selected and resumes the count down. If no alarm
is received, the interface and detectors return to their normal operating
mode.

Introduction
Radio waves have very different characteristics to wired links and it is necessary to ensure that every possible
source of attenuation of the radio signal is identified and fully considered in the design of the system.
It is therefore essential that a full site survey is carried out as part of the system design prior to any XPander
devices being installed. This preparatory work will ensure that good signal integrity is achieved.
The reliability of the data transmitted in the final system is determined by the site survey.
Site Survey Instructions
1. Turn on Surveyor Unit using the switch provided.
2. Position the Surveyor unit in the proposed location of the XPander Diversity interface.
• The minimum distance of metal objects from the interface is 400mm
• The minimum distance to other electrical equipment e.g. computers, photocopiers, fax machines
and other XPander interfaces is 2 metres (three dimensionally).
3. Switch on the hand held Surveyor Device.
4. Position the Surveyor Device where the XPander device is to be fitted. Ensuring that the button on the back of
the Surveyor Device is pressed against the surface where the device is to be fitted.
• The Surveyor Device will now report the strengths, dB readings and background levels.
5. At this point record all information on the Site Survey Sheet PP2322 and then move to the position of the next
device.
