Tyco MR501Ex Intrinsically Safe Optical Smoke Detector 516.031.002

The Tyco MR501Ex (516.031.002) detects visible smoke produced by slow-burning and smouldering materials. Engineers typically install the intrinsically safe smoke detector in general applications and areas where cable overheating may occur, such as electrical service areas.

The detector uses advanced optical sensing technology to identify smoke particles within its sampling chamber. When smoke enters the chamber, it scatters pulsed infrared light onto a photodiode, allowing the detector to quickly identify potential fire conditions. Furthermore, the specially designed asymmetrical sampling chamber and sophisticated signal processing algorithms help minimise unwanted alarms caused by small insects and airborne contaminants.

As a result, the MR501Ex delivers dependable smoke detection while maintaining a high level of immunity to nuisance alarms. In addition, its intrinsically safe design makes it suitable for hazardous areas where safety and reliability are critical.
