Tyco MF501 Ion-Chamber Smoke Detector (516.030.001)

Tyco MF501 Ion-Chamber Smoke Detector (516.030.001)

The Tyco MF501 (516.030.001) is an ionization smoke detector designed to provide rapid detection of both visible and invisible fire aerosols. Its sensing technology enables it to detect the early stages of smouldering and flaming fires, making it suitable for general-purpose fire detection applications in commercial, industrial, and public buildings.

The detector utilizes a dual ionization chamber design, in which the air is ionized by a single Americium-241 radioactive source (33 kBq). Changes in the ionization current caused by combustion particles are continuously monitored, allowing early fire detection before significant flame development occurs.
