The Tyco 601P-M (516.600.201) is a conventional marine optical/photoelectric smoke detector from Tyco’s Series 600 range. It detects visible smoke from smouldering or slow-burning materials using an optical light-scattering principle and is designed for general shipboard fire-detection applications.
Key Features
- Optical/photoelectric smoke detection for visible smoke.
- Particularly effective for smouldering and slow-burning fires.
- Asymmetrical sampling chamber helps reduce unwanted alarms from very small insects.
- No radioactive source, reducing disposal and maintenance concerns.
- Polarity-independent wiring simplifies installation.
- Common detector-base arrangement with compatible Tyco Series 600 detectors.
- Marine-approved for shipboard fire detection systems.
Typical Applications
- Marine Fire Detection & Alarm Systems
- Ship accommodation and service spaces
- Electrical and cable service areas
- Control rooms and general machinery-related spaces
- Areas where slow-smouldering fires are likely
- Replacement of existing Tyco 601P-M / 516.600.201 detectors
