XP95 Protocol

The XP95 protocol is an open protocol used in the UK and internationally, replacing Apollo’s older Series 90 protocol in 1992[2]. XP95 uses a seven bit binary addressing system, allowing for a total of 127 addressable devices on a single loop[3]. In UL markets, XP95 is sold as XP95A, often relabeled by companies using it under their own branding. XP95A devices use a different type code from XP95 devices, making them incompatible with panels with XP95 loops, and visa versa[4]. Notable brands that use XP95A are Gamewell (which has since merged with FCI to form Gamewell-FCI), Firecom, Mircom, and National Time & Signal Co..
