FXD TEMP DET
FIXED TEMPERATURE HEAT DETECTOR
516.014.020
ISSUE NO: 11
The Tyco H902 is a fixed temperature heat detector designed for use within marine fire alarm systems. Operating on the principle of thermal detection, it activates when ambient temperature reaches a predetermined threshold, triggering an alarm signal to the connected fire detection panel. As a core component of a vessel’s fire alarm system, this detector plays a critical role in protecting crew, cargo, and the vessel itself from the early consequences of fire.
Key Features
✓ Fixed temperature detection principle — activates upon reaching a set thermal threshold, providing reliable and stable fire alarm triggering without requiring rate-of-rise sensing.
✓ Specific voltage, response temperature, and dimensional ratings are subject to confirmation based on configuration — refer to Tyco Fire & Security documentation for full technical parameters.
✓ Designed for integration with compatible Tyco fire alarm panels and detection loop systems — system compatibility should be verified against the vessel’s existing fire detection infrastructure.
✓ Suitable for installation in machinery spaces, cargo holds, and other onboard locations where fixed temperature detection is required — mounting and zoning should follow vessel fire safety plans and applicable SOLAS requirements.
✓ Direct replacement component for H902-equipped fire alarm systems — supports routine maintenance, service renewal, and compliance-driven detector replacement programmes onboard.
Marine Applications
✓ Merchant vessels including bulk carriers, container ships, and tankers requiring fixed temperature detection in engine rooms and auxiliary spaces.
✓ Offshore platforms and support vessels where reliable heat detection is essential in areas prone to hydrocarbon exposure or elevated ambient temperatures.
✓ Passenger ferries and cruise vessels where zoned fire alarm systems demand individual detector-level reliability across multiple decks and compartments.
✓ Naval and coast guard vessels utilising Tyco fire alarm infrastructure and requiring OEM-compatible replacement detectors.
✓ Workboats, tugs, and specialist vessels with fire detection systems installed to SOLAS or classification society standards.
