The Tyco FlameVision FV421i is a high-integrity flame detector designed for deployment within marine fire alarm and detection systems. Engineered to identify the optical signature of open flames, this unit provides fast and reliable detection in environments where fire risk is elevated. Carrying ATEX certification (0245X), IECEx approval (BAS14.0113X), and a BASEEFA 14 rating, it is approved for use in hazardous areas — making it well suited to the demanding safety requirements found aboard commercial and industrial vessels. The IP66/67 dual ingress protection rating confirms its suitability for wet, exposed, or harsh shipboard locations. As a component within a vessel’s fire alarm system, the FV421i plays a direct role in safeguarding crew, cargo, and critical machinery spaces.
Key Features
✓ Optical flame detection capability providing reliable identification of open flame signatures in hazardous and non-hazardous shipboard areas.
✓ Certified to ATEX (0245X), IECEx (BAS14.0113X), and BASEEFA 14 standards, confirming suitability for use in explosive or flammable atmosphere zones typical in marine environments.
✓ IP66/67 dual-rated ingress protection, ensuring resistance to dust ingress and water immersion — suitable for exposed deck areas, machinery spaces, and wet locations.
✓ Compatible with fire alarm control panels and detection systems that support addressable or conventional flame detector inputs; specific panel compatibility subject to confirmation based on vessel system configuration.
✓ Designed for fixed installation in monitored spaces; replacement and commissioning should follow the relevant Tyco FlameVision installation guidelines and applicable classification society requirements.
Marine Applications
✓ Engine rooms and machinery spaces aboard tankers, bulk carriers, and container vessels where hydrocarbon flame risk requires continuous optical monitoring.
✓ Pump rooms and cargo handling areas on chemical tankers and LNG carriers where hazardous area flame detection is a classification and flag state requirement.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels operating in environments subject to ATEX zone classifications.
✓ Generator rooms, boiler spaces, and fuel handling areas across a wide range of commercial vessel types as part of an integrated fire alarm system.
✓ Naval auxiliaries and research vessels requiring certified flame detection equipment across hazardous and semi-hazardous internal compartments.
