The TYCO 5BEx (517.050.023) is a 5-inch universal intrinsically safe (I.S.) detector base designed for compatible TYCO Ex fire detectors. It is suitable for M600Ex, MX 800Ex and 800Exn detector ranges, providing the mechanical and electrical interface for two-wire detector operation in hazardous-area applications.
Key Features
- 5-inch universal base for TYCO intrinsically safe Ex detectors.
- Compatible with M600Ex, MX 800Ex and 800Exn detector families.
- Designed for two-wire operation.
- Four electrical contacts provide reliable connection between the detector and base.
- Made from fire-resistant FR110 BAYBLEND material.
- Accepts the detector’s address-label carrier, allowing the address identification to remain with the base when the detector is removed.
- Supports a remote indicator connection.
- Includes a detector locking facility to help prevent unauthorized removal.
- Can be fitted directly to the DHM-5B deckhead mounting kit where increased environmental protection is required.
Typical Applications
- Hazardous-area fire detection systems
- Marine and offshore fire detection installations
- Oil & gas and industrial Ex areas
- TYCO MX 800Ex / 800Exn addressable detector systems
- Installations using M600Ex intrinsically safe detectors
- Damp or dirty areas when used with the DHM-5B deckhead mounting arrangement
- Replacement and maintenance of existing TYCO 5BEx detector bases.
