The Tyco 601PH-M is a high performance optical smoke detector designed for use in conventional fire alarm systems. Utilising photoelectric sensing technology, it detects the presence of smoke particles in the surrounding air and triggers an alarm signal through the connected fire alarm panel. As a critical component of a vessel’s fire detection infrastructure, it plays a direct role in crew safety, cargo protection, and SOLAS compliance. Its classification as a conventional detector makes it suitable for zone-based fire alarm architectures commonly found throughout commercial and working vessels.
Key Features
✓ High performance optical (photoelectric) smoke sensing technology for reliable early-stage fire detection in conventional alarm circuits.
✓ Conforms to EN 54-7:2000, the European standard for point-type smoke detectors — the sole certification confirmed in the original product data.
✓ Compatible with conventional fire alarm panels and zone-based detection systems; specific panel compatibility subject to confirmation based on installation configuration.
✓ Suitable for installation in protected interior spaces onboard vessels; mounting location and environmental suitability should be verified against the system design and applicable flag state requirements.
✓ Intended as a direct replacement or service spare for existing 601PH-M installations; reference part number 516.600.202 when ordering to confirm correct variant.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation and cabin spaces aboard passenger ferries, cruise vessels, and ro-ro ships where smoke detection coverage is mandated.
✓ Engine room periphery, corridor, and machinery control room installations as part of a zoned conventional fire alarm layout.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels requiring certified smoke detection across multiple protected zones.
✓ Cargo ships and bulk carriers where fire alarm systems are maintained in compliance with SOLAS Chapter II-2 detection requirements.
✓ Replacement service applications during planned dry-dock maintenance or corrective maintenance following detector failure or end-of-service-life renewal.
