APOLLO TO SHOWCASE LATEST TEST SET A
pollo Fire Detectors, specialists in the design and manufacture of fire
detection equipment, will be showcasing its latest Test Set and SOTERIA Dimension, the latest addition to the SOTERIA range, at INTERSEC DUBAI 2019. A full demonstration of the new
Apollo Test Set – a portable testing device designed to help commissioning and system maintenance engineers – will be on display at the Apollo stand, Hall 4-F10. “We are very excited to be able to
show our innovative Test Set in action at INTERSEC DUBAI this year,” says Ed Browning, sales and marketing director at Apollo. “We will have a range of Apollo fire detectors, wired into a loop, in order to demonstrate the fault- finding capabilities of our Test Set live on the stand.” The Apollo Test Set guarantees that the
correct loop configuration is in place before an active control panel is installed and has the ability to interrogate and control all units connected to the device, either as individual units or complete circuits. The Test Set has a user-friendly
touchscreen display and is compatible with all Apollo analogue addressable protocols including the XP95, Discovery and CoreProtocol. In addition to the Test Set demonstration, Apollo will be
showcasing the most recent addition to the SOTERIA range – SOTERIA Dimension and Dimension Specialist. These state of the art fire detection devices use new optical sensing technology in a ‘virtual sensing chamber’, which operates on the light- scatter principle. The flush fitting detector combines functionality and style, designed to fit perfectly in locations with the most demanding aesthetic requirements. Both SOTERIA Dimension and Dimension Specialist have surpassed the requirements of European Standards EN 54 Part 7 and EN 54 Part 17. The SOTERIA Dimension Specialist
detector also features an anti-ligature metal faceplate and tamper-resistant screws. It has been tested and approved for anti-ligature certification to TS001 and meets UK Ministry of Justice specifications STD/E/SPEC/038. This detector offers greater resilience against interference or damage and is ideal for prisons, custodial suites and healthcare establishments.

WHY IR SENSOR 2.0 IS THE FUTURE T
he manufacturer of the world's smallest IR sensor, JonDeTech
Sensors, has gained a so-called design win with ShortLink AB, which the intention to use JonDeTech's sensor for presence detection after evaluation in a product for the consumer market developed by ShortLink. ShortLink develops power-saving
electronics for wireless communication. Prototype testing is now resulting in that ShortLink chose to move on with JonDeTech's sensor. ShortLink’s choice of sensor means that JonDeTech intends to deliver the company's presence detection sensor in a product for increased customer comfort that ShortLink develops to its customer. The purpose of
JonDeTech is to land a commercial agreement in the near future. JonDeTech's sensors indicate the presence of a person and activate a remote control in the product. The presence detection product is
expected to be launched in the first half of 2019, and will initially be addressed to the European market, and there after gloabally. The IR sensor is a crucial component in many everyday products, ranging from medical equipment to mobile phones. But the technology is 50 years old and in serious need of an upgrade. The next generation IR sensor 2.0 for IoT will be much thinner than old sensors and cheaper to manufacture. The new IR sensor 2.0 will be the bridge
between the analogue and the digital in an increasingly connected world. In the new connected world that is now
emerging, the new IR sensor has the potential to become the bridge between the analogue and the digital world. And the digitally connected world is growing strongly. Therefore, it is not a bold assumption, that in the near future everything that can be linked up will be connected. Security and reliability are of course important components in such a

process, but if there is a demand and customer benefit in place, it will most likely happen. And the development is very fast. Only ten years ago, there were very few who could predict how many services would move into smart phones and other consumer electronics. And now there is also a similar development in the area of Internet of Things, where the actual sensors can play an important role. The low energy consumption is an important feature. The total cost of a sensor can be divided into three subcategories: raw materials, production and integration. The raw materials or material bill represents a lower limit for the sensor's cost. No matter how efficient the production is or how many sensors are produced, the cost per sensor will not be lower than the cost of the raw materials from which the sensor is made. In a connected world flooding with
data, there will be many opportunities to achieve a safer, more environmentally friendly and a more sustainable society. But to achieve this, it is also important to use the right technology. In such a world, it is time for an IR sensor 2.0.
