The Tyco MR601TEx (516.054.011) is a conventional intrinsically safe high-performance optical smoke detector from the Tyco M600/600Ex series. It combines optical smoke detection with heat enhancement, increasing sensitivity during a rapid temperature rise and providing improved response to both smouldering and fast-burning fires.
Key Features
- High-performance optical (HPO) smoke detection with heat enhancement.
- Increased optical sensitivity when a rapid temperature rise is detected.
- Designed to improve response to fast-burning fires that may produce less visible smoke.
- Suitable for both smouldering and open flaming fires.
- Intrinsically safe construction for hazardous-area installations.
- ATEX Ex ia certified.
- Integral and remote alarm LED capability.
- Low-profile M600-series detector design.
- Compatible with the dedicated 5BEx 5″ I.S. base.
- Marine-approved versions are documented for shipboard fire detection systems.
Typical Applications
- Marine Fire Detection & Alarm Systems
- Hazardous-area fire detection
- Offshore platforms and oil & gas installations
- Engine rooms and machinery spaces
- Pump rooms and process areas
- Areas where conventional smoke detection may be unsuitable
- Tyco M600/M600Ex fire detection systems
- Replacement of existing MR601TEx / 516.054.011 detectors
