Apollo Fire Detectors Limited has won a number of prestigious projects in the Republic of Slovenia,among them the main airport in the capital Ljubljana.In excess of 11,000 Apollo conventional and intelligent fire detectors have been installed at sites across the Republic within the last three years.As well as Ljubljana Airport, applications include Slovenia’s largest Trade Centre,a number of pharmaceutical sites owned by LEK/Novartis and apartments at the holiday village of Zagori Novi Vinodolski on the Croatian coast.
Much of Apollo’s success in Slovenia has been due to official distributor Zarja Elektronika doo,who have represented the company since 1991.As a developer and manufacturer of Apollo-compatible fire control panels and other fire alarm products,Zarja Elektronika can offer customers a total system solution.Its latest control panel,the CIE NJP-2000A,is a modular unit developed for larger applications. Designed to offer distributed intelligence,the CIE panel can incorporate Apollo intelligent or conventional fire detectors,as required.Since its launch less than 36 months ago,fire detection systems based on the CIE/Apollo combination have been specified and installed at over 20 new and refurbished sites across Slovenia.
Brnik Airport,Ljubljana is among these.The international airport connects Slovenia directly with other major European and World destinations such as London, Paris,Amsterdam and Moscow.Adria Airline carried almost 900,000 passengers in 2004 and visitor numbers continue to grow as the new Republic expands its trade links and develops its tourist industry.Consequently the airport is being developed to accommodate increased demand.It currently has a fire detection system that includes 220 Apollo conventional fire detectors and 200 XP95 analogue addressable fire detectors,but the system is being expanded as the airport grows.
The Trade Centre,Ljubljana – the largest of its type in Slovenia –is also protected by an Apollo-based fire detection system.The Trade Centre has expanded over the last 15 years and the fire system has grown with it.There are more than 5,000 fire detectors installed at the site,but they currently belong to a number of separate fire detection systems.Zarja Electronika has been engaged to upgrade the fire protection at the site.They are equipping the Trade Centre with an integrated fire detection system based around two CIE NJP-2000A control panels.Twelve loops of Apollo XP95 fire detectors are already connected up and the project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2005

There is an obvious need for the industry to be more energy efficient and pay more attention to the ways in which energy is both used and wasted. Do you think we have the products on the market to meet our needs?
