Description
TYCO
811PH
DIGITAL ADDRESSABLE PHOTOELECTRONIC
SMOKE AND HEAT DETECTOR
WITH BASE
516.800.507
SMOKE SENSITIVITY: 1.29% FT-2, 84%/FT
TEMPERATURE RATING 135°F
The Tyco 811PH is a digital addressable photoelectronic smoke and heat detector supplied complete with its mounting base. Designed for integration into addressable fire alarm systems, this detector combines optical smoke sensing with thermal detection to provide dual-technology protection across monitored zones. It is used onboard vessels as part of the ship’s fire alarm and detection infrastructure, where reliable, early-warning detection is essential for crew safety and regulatory compliance. As a critical component of the Fire Alarm System, it supports continuous monitoring of accommodation spaces, machinery spaces, and other protected areas subject to SOLAS fire safety requirements.
Key Features
✓ Dual-technology detection combining photoelectronic smoke sensing with heat detection in a single addressable unit, reducing nuisance alarms while improving response accuracy.
✓ Rated smoke sensitivity of 1.29% FT-2 (84%/FT) and a temperature rating of 135°F as specified — further electrical and timing parameters are subject to confirmation against panel configuration.
✓ Digital addressable protocol allows individual detector identification on the loop, supporting fault isolation and system diagnostics; panel compatibility is subject to confirmation for specific installations.
✓ Supplied with mounting base for direct installation — suitable for overhead mounting in protected interior spaces; installation context and environmental suitability should be confirmed against vessel drawings.
✓ Replacement of addressable loop detectors is a routine service activity; ensuring like-for-like substitution with the correct part number (516.800.507) supports system integrity and survey readiness.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation and cabin deck fire detection systems aboard passenger ferries, cruise vessels, and ro-ro passenger ships.
✓ Machinery space and engine room perimeter monitoring on commercial cargo vessels, tankers, and offshore support vessels.
✓ Addressable fire alarm loop installations on naval auxiliaries, research vessels, and government-operated workboats.
✓ Galley, laundry, and service corridor detection zones where combined smoke and heat sensing provides more discriminating alarm response.
✓ Retrofit and like-for-like replacement on existing Tyco addressable fire detection systems during dry-dock or planned maintenance periods.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Tyco 811PH is a well-established addressable detector within marine fire alarm systems, valued for its dual-sensing capability, individual addressability, and straightforward loop integration — qualities that simplify fault-finding and support the maintenance demands of vessels operating under continuous survey.
