Description
TYCO
MODEL: CCU3 ETHERNET
PART NO: CCU3/E
LIFE SAFETY NETWORK
SERIAL NO: 10265L
The Tyco CCU3/E is an Ethernet-based Communication Control Unit designed for use within Life Safety Networks in marine fire alarm systems. Acting as a network node and communication gateway, this unit enables distributed fire detection and alarm panels to exchange data across an Ethernet backbone, supporting coordinated safety responses across multiple zones or decks. In a marine environment where system reliability and rapid alarm propagation are critical, the CCU3/E plays a central role in maintaining the integrity of the vessel’s fire detection infrastructure.
Key Features
✓ Ethernet-based communication interface enabling high-speed data exchange within Life Safety Networks across distributed fire alarm topologies.
✓ Functions as a network communication control unit, linking multiple fire detection and alarm panels into a unified, coordinated system — exact technical ratings subject to confirmation against installation documentation.
✓ Compatible with Tyco Life Safety Network architectures; system integration and panel compatibility should be verified against the specific installation configuration onboard.
✓ Suitable for installation in protected, dry machinery and accommodation spaces typical of marine fire alarm panel installations; SOLAS-relevant as part of a compliant fire detection network.
✓ Direct replacement unit for vessels operating Tyco-based fire alarm systems; supports like-for-like substitution to minimise downtime during scheduled maintenance or fault rectification.
Marine Applications
✓ Passenger vessels and cruise ships requiring multi-zone, networked fire alarm communication across large, complex layouts.
✓ Offshore platforms and FPSOs where distributed fire & gas detection systems rely on Ethernet-based Life Safety Networks for centralised monitoring.
✓ Cargo vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers fitted with Tyco fire alarm systems requiring network-level communication between alarm control panels.
✓ Naval and government vessels with integrated safety management systems where reliable inter-panel communication is a critical operational requirement.
✓ Ferries and RoPax vessels where rapid, coordinated alarm escalation across passenger and vehicle decks depends on a stable network communication backbone.
