Apollo Discovery Marine Manual Call Point 58100-970MAR

The Apollo Discovery Marine Manual Call Point 58100-970MAR is a reliable and electronically compatible device based on the KAC conventional MCP range. It shares compatibility with previous Apollo call points using KAC’s World Series product. During the commissioning stage, the address of each call point is set using a seven-segment DIL switch. When the manual call point is activated, it provides a fast response by interrupting the normal protocol. A bi-colored alarm LED is present on the call point, which is controlled independently by the control panel. This LED can be set to flash each time the call point is polled. When the call point is activated and goes into alarm, the red LED is illuminated.

For isolated versions of the call point, an amber/yellow LED indicates a short-circuit on the loop wiring on either side of the call point. Remote testing of call points can be done from the control panel through a single bit transmission in the communications protocol. The call points respond by providing a value of 64, corresponding to the alarm value. This response acts as a test signal, and the control panel does not raise a general alarm. Key features include the option for a flashing LED to indicate polling (for Discovery systems only), ‘Plug and Play’ terminal connections for fast wiring, a continuity link for wiring test before commissioning, an alarm reporting time of under 0.2 seconds, and a resettable element. In summary, the Apollo Discovery Marine Manual Call Point 58100-970MAR is a versatile and efficient device with seamless compatibility with previous Apollo call points.
