Tyco VIGILANT Generation 6 MX Addressable Fire Detectors

Thursday, 24 September, 2015 | Supplied by: Tyco Fire Protection Products


Tyco Fire Protection Products has released the VIGILANT Generation 6 MX Addressable Fire Detectors. The range comprises the Heat Detector (850H), Photo Smoke Detector (850P) and Multi-sensor Smoke and Heat Detector (850PH).

With safety and reliability integral to their design, the detectors are equipped with a continuous receptive self-monitoring system, a short circuit line isolator and multifunction LED indicators that let the user know if one of the detectors is out of commission. Discrimination provided by Fastlogic algorithms minimises false alarms from common sources while multisensor algorithms seek to maximise detector performance in challenging environments.

The built-in circuit line isolator works to improve fault tolerance enabling all detectors to continue to operate in the event of a short circuit fault on the addressable loop. This also eliminates the need for an external isolator.

The detector’s unit is also fitted with an advanced optical chamber that aims to deliver long service life while maintaining the correct level of sensitivity, and it is insect protected with an incorporated flyscreen.

To withstand challenging environmental conditions, the circuit boards resist moisture and include a fully coated thermistor to resist contamination, dust and dirt to reduce maintenance and service costs.
