The Tyco XA-SPDT ME CH (part number XA-0B201BD00) is a valve position monitor switch box designed for use in hazardous locations aboard marine vessels. Functioning as a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) mechanical channel switch, it provides reliable positional feedback from valves within fire alarm and suppression system pipework. As a critical component within the Fire Alarm System category, it ensures accurate status monitoring of valve open/closed positions, enabling the ship’s fire detection and control infrastructure to respond correctly to system changes and maintain operational integrity.
Key Features
✓ SPDT mechanical channel switching design provides clear open and closed valve position feedback to connected fire alarm and control systems.
✓ ATEX certified to DEMKO 03 ATEX 134360X with EEx d IIB T4–T6 and Ex II 2 G D T80°C ratings, confirming suitability for use in explosive and hazardous atmospheres.
✓ Enclosed flameproof switch box construction is engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of hazardous-area installations typical in marine and offshore environments.
✓ Compatible with fire alarm and valve monitoring circuits subject to confirmation of panel interface requirements; wiring and integration specifics depend on system configuration.
✓ Designed as a replaceable field device, supporting maintenance and like-for-like swap-out in existing hazardous-area valve monitoring installations.
Marine Applications
✓ Monitoring of deluge, sprinkler, and suppression system valve positions within shipboard fire alarm and fixed firefighting installations.
✓ Installed in engine rooms, pump rooms, and cargo spaces where flameproof equipment certification is required by classification and flag state regulations.
✓ Used aboard tankers, chemical carriers, gas carriers, and offshore support vessels where hazardous-area equipment standards are mandatory.
✓ Integrated into fire detection and alarm panels as a feedback device confirming correct valve state prior to system activation or reset.
✓ Applied in retrofits and upgrades of existing Tyco fire suppression system installations requiring certified valve position feedback components.
