The Tyco 850H is a heat detector head designed for use within marine fire alarm systems, specifically compatible with the MX Digital detection platform. As a core sensing component within a shipboard fire alarm system, it is engineered to detect abnormal rises in ambient temperature and trigger an alarm response before fire conditions escalate. Certified to EN54-5, the 850H meets recognised international standards for heat detection, making it a reliable choice for fire safety compliance in marine environments where early detection is operationally critical.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a heat detector head, sensing elevated temperatures to initiate alarm signals within the connected fire alarm control system.
✓ Certified to EN54-5, confirming compliance with European standards for heat detectors as stated in the original product data — additional approvals subject to confirmation.
✓ Compatible with the MX Digital fire detection system as specified, with broader panel or loop controller compatibility subject to system configuration and confirmation.
✓ Suitable for installation in protected interior spaces onboard vessels; specific mounting location suitability and environmental ratings should be confirmed against vessel fire safety drawings.
✓ Designed as a replaceable detector head, supporting routine maintenance and detector replacement programmes without requiring full system overhaul.
Marine Applications
✓ Cargo vessels and bulk carriers requiring SOLAS-compliant fixed fire detection systems in accommodation, machinery, and cargo control spaces.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels where continuous fire monitoring in enclosed spaces is a safety requirement.
✓ Passenger ferries and ro-ro vessels with extensive fixed fire alarm installations covering multiple fire zones throughout the ship.
✓ Tankers and chemical carriers where heat detection in controlled interior zones complements broader fire and gas safety systems.
✓ Naval auxiliaries and government vessels maintaining certified fire detection infrastructure in line with flag state and classification society requirements.
