517.050.041
4B 4” DETECTOR BASE
The Tyco 517.050.041 is a 4B 4-inch detector base designed for use within marine fire alarm systems. As a foundational mounting component, the detector base provides the mechanical and electrical interface between the fire detection head and the alarm loop circuit. Proper detector bases are critical to ensuring reliable signal continuity and secure detector retention — factors that directly affect the performance of the overall fire alarm system onboard. This component is intended for use across a range of vessel fire detection installations where dependable, compliant equipment is essential to crew safety and regulatory adherence.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a 4-inch (4B) mounting base providing secure mechanical housing and electrical connectivity for compatible detector heads.
✓ Specific voltage ratings and response parameters are subject to confirmation based on system configuration and the detector head installed.
✓ Designed for integration within Tyco Safety Products fire alarm systems; compatibility with specific panels or loop controllers should be verified against system documentation.
✓ Suitable for installation in typical shipboard locations including accommodation, machinery spaces, and cargo areas where fire detection coverage is required; SOLAS fire detection compliance depends on overall system approval.
✓ Designed to facilitate straightforward detector replacement and maintenance, reducing downtime during scheduled service intervals or emergency changeouts at sea.
Marine Applications
✓ Fire alarm and detection systems aboard commercial cargo vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers requiring certified detector mounting solutions.
✓ Passenger vessel accommodation and public space fire detection loops where detector base integrity is critical to passenger safety.
✓ Offshore platforms and support vessels with fixed fire detection installations maintained to flag state and classification society requirements.
✓ Naval and government vessels operating fire detection networks that demand reliable, type-approved component interfaces.
✓ Ferry and ro-ro vessel fire alarm systems where frequent inspection and detector base serviceability are part of routine maintenance schedules.
