601P CONVENTIONAL
OPTICAL SMOKE DETECTOR
CONFORMS TO: EN 54-7:2000
516.600.001
The Tyco 601P is a conventional optical smoke detector designed for early-stage fire detection within shipboard fire alarm systems. Operating on the principle of light scattering to sense smoke particles, it provides reliable and prompt detection of slow-burning or smouldering fires. As a core component of a conventional fire alarm system, it is typically wired into detection zones and monitored by a compatible fire alarm control panel, making it an essential safety device for vessels required to maintain SOLAS-compliant fire detection arrangements.
Key Features
✓ Optical detection technology using light-scattering principles for effective response to slow-burning, smouldering fires.
✓ Conforms to EN 54-7:2000, the recognised European standard for point-type smoke detectors using scattered light, transmitted light, or ionisation.
✓ Designed for integration into conventional fire alarm panel systems; zone circuit compatibility subject to confirmation against specific panel configuration.
✓ Suitable for installation in protected interior spaces onboard vessels; mounting location and environmental suitability should be confirmed for the specific application.
✓ Direct replacement reference 516.600.001 supports straightforward like-for-like servicing within existing Tyco conventional fire alarm installations.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation spaces, cabins, and corridors on passenger vessels, ferries, and cruise ships requiring zoned smoke detection coverage.
✓ Engine room and machinery space fire detection systems on commercial cargo vessels and tankers where conventional panel architectures are installed.
✓ Wheelhouse and navigation spaces on offshore support vessels, tugs, and workboats fitted with conventional fire alarm systems.
✓ Ro-Ro and car carrier vessels where deck-by-deck conventional zone detection is required for SOLAS compliance.
✓ Replacement and maintenance programmes aboard vessels with legacy Tyco conventional fire alarm infrastructure requiring certified detector substitution.
