Device Addressing
Device addressing is handled by the REACH Wireless Loop-
Interface device (RW1700-030APO).
Devices are soft-addressed automatically when pairing with
the Loop Interface and can be changed manually. Hard-
addressing using Apollo XPERT cards are not supported.

Communication
REACH Wireless Devices use ‘radio-frequency’ wireless
communication to connect to the Loop-Interface.
The Loop-Interface (RW1700-030APO) translates the wireless
communication into wired Apollo protocol communication,
with each device addressable individually by the fire panel.
See datasheets for the Loop-Interface for more information.
Base Compatibility
This device is compatible with the following detector products
(see table 4). It can also be used standalone with a blanking
cap (see table 5).

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance must be performed in accordance with all
applicable standards. Clean the detector externally using a
soft damp cloth. For full cleaning and recalibration detectors
should be returned to Apollo Fire Detectors.
Batteries
REACH Wireless devices are supplied with two CR123 bat-
teries, battery A and B. The device switches periodically
between the two batteries on a controlled sequence. For cor-
rect operation of the device, both batteries are required with
adequate capacity reserves.
When battery A reaches a low power threshold, it will trig-
