MX ADDRESSABLE IS FLAME DETECTOR
CONFORMS TO: EN 54-10:2002 CLASS 2
516.800.067
The Tyco Thorn Security 811FEX is an MX Addressable Intrinsically Safe (IS) Flame Detector designed for use within addressable fire alarm systems in hazardous and safety-critical marine environments. Supplied complete with its mounting base, this detector is engineered to identify the presence of flames rapidly and communicate alarm signals across an addressable loop to the fire alarm control panel. Its intrinsically safe classification makes it suitable for installation in areas where flammable atmospheres may be present, and its conformance to EN 54-10:2002 Class 2 underlines its suitability for demanding fire detection applications aboard vessels.
Key Features
✓ Addressable IS flame detector providing individual device identification on compatible MX addressable fire alarm loops, enabling precise fault and alarm location.
✓ Conforms to EN 54-10:2002 Class 2, confirming compliance with recognised European standards for flame detection performance and reliability.
✓ Intrinsically Safe (IS) design makes this detector appropriate for installation in potentially hazardous areas where ignitable concentrations of gas or vapour may exist — voltage and zener barrier requirements subject to system configuration confirmation.
✓ Supplied with detector base, supporting straightforward replacement or installation within existing MX addressable system wiring infrastructure without additional base procurement.
✓ Designed for integration within Tyco Thorn MX addressable fire alarm systems; compatibility with specific panels or controllers should be confirmed against the installed system configuration.
Marine Applications
✓ Engine rooms and machinery spaces aboard commercial vessels where open-flame detection is required alongside conventional heat and smoke detection layers.
✓ Pump rooms, cargo handling areas, and other potentially hazardous spaces on tankers, gas carriers, and offshore support vessels requiring IS-rated detection equipment.
✓ Offshore platforms and FPSOs where addressable fire alarm systems must monitor areas with elevated risk of hydrocarbon vapour accumulation.
✓ Naval and coast guard vessels requiring certified, addressable flame detection as part of a broader integrated fire safety and suppression system.
✓ Passenger ferries and ro-ro vessels where SOLAS-compliant fire detection coverage across vehicle decks and technical spaces demands reliable, addressable detectors.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Tyco Thorn 811FEX combines intrinsically safe design with addressable loop compatibility and recognised EN 54-10 certification, making it a dependable choice for shipboard flame detection in environments where both safety integrity and precise alarm reporting are operationally critical.
