HIGH PERFORMANCE
OPTICAL SMOKE DETECTOR
CONFORMS TO: EN 54 PT 7.
516.054.011
The Tyco MR601TEX is a high-performance optical smoke detector designed for use within marine fire alarm systems. Utilising optical sensing technology, it detects the presence of smoke particles in the surrounding air, providing early warning of developing fires before they escalate. As a core component of a vessel’s fire detection infrastructure, reliable smoke detector performance is critical to crew safety, cargo protection, and compliance with international maritime fire safety regulations. This unit conforms to EN 54 Part 7, confirming it meets established standards for point-type smoke detectors using scattered light, transmitted light, or ionisation principles.
Key Features
✓ Optical smoke detection technology provides reliable, early-stage fire detection by sensing light-scattering smoke particles within the detection chamber.
✓ Conforms to EN 54 Part 7, confirming compliance with recognised European standards for smoke detector performance and reliability.
✓ Manufactured by Tyco Safety Products, the MR601TEX is designed for integration into compatible Tyco fire alarm panels and detection loop systems — specific panel compatibility subject to confirmation.
✓ Suitable for installation in enclosed spaces onboard vessels including accommodation areas, machinery spaces, and service compartments, where SOLAS fire detection requirements apply — installation suitability subject to system configuration.
✓ Direct replacement or service spare for existing Tyco MR601TEX installations, supporting maintenance programmes and minimising system downtime during detector servicing or scheduled replacement.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation and cabin areas on passenger ferries, cruise ships, and ro-ro vessels where continuous smoke monitoring is required.
✓ Engine rooms, auxiliary machinery spaces, and control rooms aboard commercial cargo vessels and offshore support vessels.
✓ Integrated into addressable or conventional fire alarm loops on vessels operating under SOLAS fire safety system requirements.
✓ Onboard fire detection networks on tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships requiring distributed smoke detection coverage across multiple zones.
✓ Newbuild installations and retrofit upgrades to existing Tyco-based fire alarm systems across a wide range of vessel classifications.
