The Tyco 4B-C (517.050.042) is a 4-inch continuity detector base designed primarily for Tyco 850 Series fire detectors. It incorporates a continuity switch that maintains the fire detection circuit when the detector is removed, while allowing the detector’s built-in short-circuit isolation function to operate correctly.
Features
- 4-inch continuity detector base for Tyco fire detection systems.
- Specifically designed for use with 850 Series detectors.
- Built-in continuity switch closes when the detector is removed.
