Description
TYCO
4B/-C/-D
DETECTOR BASE
397
The Tyco 4B/-C/-D Detector Base 397 is a mounting and electrical interface component designed for use within marine fire alarm systems. It serves as the connection point between a compatible point-type fire detector and the fire detection loop circuit, ensuring secure mechanical fixing and reliable signal continuity. Correct base selection and installation is critical to the overall integrity of a vessel’s fire detection network, making components such as this a key part of any fire alarm system maintenance or upgrade programme aboard commercial and working vessels.
Key Features
✓ Designed to accept compatible Tyco 4B, 4C, and 4D series point-type detectors, providing versatile detector mounting options within a fire alarm system.
✓ Specific electrical ratings, dimensions, and certifications are subject to confirmation based on configuration — consult technical documentation for precise values.
✓ Intended for integration within Tyco-compatible fire detection loop systems; system panel compatibility is subject to confirmation based on the installed fire alarm network.
✓ Suitable for installation in typical onboard locations such as accommodation spaces, machinery spaces, and service areas where fire detection coverage is required under SOLAS-related regulations.
✓ As a field-replaceable base unit, it supports efficient detector servicing and loop maintenance without the need to replace the full detector assembly.
Marine Applications
✓ Commercial cargo vessels and bulk carriers requiring SOLAS-compliant fire detection across cargo holds and crew accommodation areas.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels where continuous fire alarm system reliability is operationally critical.
✓ Passenger ferries and ro-ro vessels with extensive detector networks throughout passenger and crew zones.
✓ Naval auxiliaries and government vessels maintaining structured fire alarm systems with standardised detector base components.
✓ Tankers and chemical carriers where fire detection system integrity forms part of broader fire & gas safety arrangements.
