The Tyco 801HEx (516.800.532) is an intrinsically safe, analogue-addressable heat detector from the Tyco/Minerva MZX 800Ex series. It uses a low-thermal-mass thermistor for fast and accurate heat detection and is designed for hazardous-area fire detection applications.
Key Features
- Intrinsically safe (I.S.) construction for hazardous areas.
- Analogue-addressable communication with compatible MX/Minerva fire controllers.
- Low-thermal-mass thermistor provides fast temperature response.
- Selectable/configurable heat detection modes.
- ATEX and IECEx certified for hazardous-area applications.
- Designed for use with the 5BEx intrinsically safe detector base.
- Suitable for Zone 0, 1 and 2 gas areas and Zone 20, 21 and 22 dust areas, subject to the applicable installation/certification requirements.
Typical Applications
- Marine Fire Detection & Alarm Systems
- Hazardous-area fire detection
- Offshore platforms and process facilities
- Oil & gas installations
- Engine rooms and machinery spaces where hazardous-area certification is required
- Ships using Tyco/Minerva MZX addressable fire detection systems
- Replacement of existing 801HEx / 516.800.532 detectors
