Loop Calculator 3 software unveiled by Apollo Fire Detectors

When it comes to installing an Apollo addressable system, accuracy and efficiency are paramount. Without the right tools and calculations, installations can be risky, leading to unexpected delays, additional costs and even the need for direct support from the business.

However, the introduction of Loop Calculator 3 allows the accurate calculation and prediction of electrical loads for system designs prior to installation, in turn mitigating the potential for wasted time and resources.

By enabling fire safety professionals to calculate and predict the electrical load of an Apollo addressable system design in advance, Loop Calculator 3 eliminates the need for guesswork. Sector professionals can confidently plan and allocate resources, thereby ensuring a smoother installation process and the avoidance of unforeseen delays.

Without accurate calculations, installation success is often achieved through over-sizing, which incurs additional expense. Loop Calculator 3 saves on this unnecessary expenditure by determining the optimal load requirements for the system. This cost-saving measure translates to a more budget-friendly installation without compromising on quality.

Loop calculation is often one of the initial questions asked when engineers seek support from Apollo. With Loop Calculator 3, they can avoid the need for such assistance altogether. By having access to a reliable tool that accurately calculates loop requirements, it’s possible to proceed on installations with confidence.

Right choice

Loop Calculator 3 stands out as the ideal choice for any Apollo addressable system installation for several reasons. By investing a little time up-front to use Loop Calculator 3, installers can save significant resources that would otherwise be wasted on unforeseen problems. This proactive approach leads to more efficient installations and overall project success.

Loop Calculator 3 instils a sense of confidence in system installers. By accurately predicting the electrical load and ensuring the appropriate selection of Apollo products, they can proceed with your projects knowing that informed decisions have been made.

Further, Loop Calculator 3 offers a comprehensive range of features. Installers can easily select the required Apollo products, including newly released options, set volume levels and flash-rates of audio-visual devices, determine the number of loops needed and select the right-sized panel, cabling and loop-drivers. This ‘all-in-one’ solution simplifies the installation process, ensuring a streamlined and efficient experience.

Varying complexities

Loop Calculator 3 is designed to accommodate installations of varying complexities. Offices, large residential blocks and hotels often require multiple loops (typically three-to-four or more) across multiple panels. Loop Calculator 3 helps in accurately determining the electrical load for such installations, streamlining the planning process and reducing potential complications.

Small retail shops, restaurants, takeaways and residential blocks of flats usually require a single-loop panel. Loop Calculator 3 caters for these simpler installations, allowing installers to precisely calculate the necessary load requirements without over-sizing or wasting resources.

Loop Calculator 3 enhances the installation process for Apollo’s addressable systems, offering a reliable and efficient means of calculating and predicting electrical loads. By reducing the risk of delays and unexpected costs, as well as decreasing the need for support, this invaluable tool enables installers to proceed with confidence and peace of mind.
