TYCO SAFETY PRODUCTS
4B 4″
DETECTOR BASE
517.050.041
The Tyco 4B 4-inch detector base is a key mounting component within marine fire alarm systems, designed to provide a secure electrical and mechanical interface between a point-type detector and the fire detection loop. Used extensively across vessel fire detection networks, this base ensures reliable signal transmission and stable detector retention — both critical to the integrity of an onboard fire alarm system. Its standardised 4-inch format makes it compatible with a wide range of installation environments found throughout commercial and working vessels.
Key Features
✓ Provides secure mechanical mounting and electrical connection for compatible point-type fire detectors in the Tyco Safety Products range.
✓ Specific electrical ratings, voltage compatibility, and certifications are subject to confirmation against vessel configuration and the associated control panel.
✓ Designed for integration within fire alarm detection loops; system compatibility with specific panels or controllers should be verified against the installation design.
✓ Suitable for installation in typical onboard environments; mounting location and area classification should be assessed in line with the vessel’s fire detection layout.
✓ Serves as a direct replacement component during detector servicing or system maintenance, helping to minimise system downtime during scheduled inspections.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation and cabin fire detection systems aboard passenger ferries, cruise vessels, and cargo ships.
✓ Engine room and machinery space fire alarm networks where reliable detector mounting is operationally essential.
✓ Offshore platforms and support vessels requiring point-type detection across multiple monitored zones.
✓ Bridge, control room, and electrical switchboard areas fitted with addressable or conventional fire detection loops.
✓ Ro-Ro and container vessels where distributed fire detection coverage depends on consistent detector base performance throughout the system.
