601H-R-M
CONVENTIONAL RATE OF RISE HEAT DETECTOR
SMOKE DETECTOR CONFORMS TO: EN 54-5:2000 A1R
516.600.203
The Tyco 601H-R-M is a conventional rate of rise heat detector designed for use within marine and commercial fire alarm systems. Operating by detecting a rapid increase in ambient temperature, it provides early warning of fire conditions before temperatures reach a fixed threshold. As a component within a conventional fire alarm system, it plays a critical role in safeguarding vessel personnel, cargo, and structure in compliance with onboard fire detection requirements.
Key Features
✓ Rate of rise detection technology responds to rapid temperature increases, enabling early fire warning in protected spaces.
✓ Conforms to EN 54-5:2000 A1R, confirming compliance with established European standards for heat detectors — voltage, current draw, and response thresholds subject to confirmation against installation specifications.
✓ Compatible with conventional fire alarm panel loops; specific panel and system compatibility should be confirmed against the vessel’s installed control equipment.
✓ Suitable for installation in machinery spaces, accommodation areas, and cargo compartments where heat-based detection is the preferred method; SOLAS-relevant for vessels requiring certified fire detection coverage.
✓ Direct replacement for existing 601H-R-M units; part number 516.600.203 ensures accurate identification during maintenance, survey, or system upgrade programmes.
Marine Applications
✓ Engine rooms and machinery spaces aboard cargo vessels, tankers, and passenger ships where heat detection is required.
✓ Accommodation and galley areas on commercial and offshore vessels requiring conventional fire alarm zone coverage.
✓ Cargo holds and storage compartments on bulk carriers, ro-ro ferries, and general cargo ships.
✓ Offshore platforms and drill ships integrating conventional fire alarm systems across hazardous and non-hazardous zones.
✓ Newbuild and refit projects requiring EN 54-5:2000-certified heat detectors for class approval and SOLAS compliance.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Tyco 601H-R-M is a well-established conventional heat detector trusted for its certified performance, straightforward integration into existing fire alarm loops, and reliable operation in the demanding thermal environments typical of marine spaces.
