The Apollo Discovery ASD-2 is an aspirating smoke detection system that utilizes an air-sampling pipe network to draw air towards conventional or analog addressable point detectors in an aspirated enclosure. The dual channel Discovery ASD-2 has provision for two separate point detectors, each monitoring a separate sampling pipe run.

Figure 2-1: Detector Enclosure Baffles It is necessary to fit baffles to the Discovery ASD-2 system to ensure that the samples airflow is directed towards the point detector. The baffle is shaped to match the point detector and simply clips into position in the slots provided in the transparent lid.
Discovery ASD-2 Product Guide Apollo Fire Detectors Mounting the Detector Enclosure Notes: This equipment must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with all local and national code requirements. The detector assembly must be installed at an accessible position to facilitate maintenance and testing.
Apollo Fire Detectors Discovery ASD-2 Product Guide Wiring The following wiring connections must be made to the detector housing: 24V DC Power Supply. Refer to Section 3.3 for further information. This wiring enters the detector housing via cable seals and is connected to the appropriate terminals on the main circuit board or display board.
Figure 3-2: Ferrite core and battery supply wiring The Discovery ASD-2 unit is designed to run from a 24 VDC supply. The supply should be connected to the two way BATTERY connector on the main circuit board ensuring that the wires are correctly orientated. The minimum recommended wire size is 16 x 0.25 mm (18 AWG), or larger if the supply is further than 5 m (16.4 ft)
(permanent), or socket unions (removable). Note: The Discovery ASD-2 inlet ports are tapered to allow a push fit of the sampling pipe. The pipes should be cut squarely to ensure a good, airtight seal. Solvent adhesive should not be used for this joint.
Apollo Fire Detectors Exhaust Where the Discovery ASD-2 is located outside the protected area, consideration must be given to returning the exhaust air to the protected environment to balance pressure differences that may exist between the two areas. In the majority of applications, this is not necessary as pressure differences are minimal.
Apollo Fire Detectors Discovery ASD-2 Product Guide Set-up Display Functions Each channel has the following functional LEDs. BARGRAPH of AIRFLOW SPEED 2, 3, AIRFLOW OK, HIGH AIRFLOW, LOW AIRFLOW The following LEDs are common to both channels. POWER ON GENERAL FAULT (Mains PSU Option Only)

(e.g. prison cell applications) then it may be necessary to increase the delay between when flow limit has been exceeded and instigating a FLOW FAULT condition. Table 5-2: Flow Delay Settings for the Discovery ASD-2 system Bargraph LED Flow into Fault Delay (Seconds)
Apollo Fire Detectors Discovery ASD-2 Product Guide Testing Note: Testing should only be carried out by qualified personnel. Ensure that the proper authorities have been informed and that the unit has been isolated from the fire system if necessary to prevent unwanted alarms.
