The Tyco T1216-C Marine Fire Alarm Panel (MPN: 508.023.104) is a heavy-duty, 16-zone conventional fire detection and alarm control unit engineered specifically for maritime and offshore installations. Built to withstand harsh marine environmental conditions, this console-mounted panel provides continuous monitoring of conventional detection lines, manual call points, and safety interlocks. Manufactured to stringent quality standards in the United Kingdom, it integrates seamless control logic for shipboard fire safety management, ensuring compliance with international maritime safety codes.

Model Details

• Manufacturer: Tyco
• Model Designation: T1216-C (Console Mount Variant)
• Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 508.023.104
• System Architecture: Conventional 16-Zone Fire Alarm Control Panel

Key Features

1. 16 Independent Conventional Zones: Dedicated input loops capable of supporting extensive networks of conventional smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual break-glass call points.
2. Advanced Input/Output Terminal Allocations: Clearly designated pluggable terminal blocks for field wiring, easing installation and reducing downtime during maintenance or retrofitting.
3. Robust Power Supply & Battery Supervision: Integrated dual-source power handling seamlessly switches between main ship grid power and emergency 24V DC battery backup with deep discharge protection.
4. Configurable Sounder & Routing Outputs: Supervised output channels ensure reliable actuation of general alarm bells, sirens, flashing beacons, and fire door release solenoids.
5. Marine Environmental Hardening: Vibration-resistant internal layout and corrosion-protected chassis built to endure continuous rolling, pitching, and saline atmosphere exposure.

Compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Tyco T1216-C panel be flush-mounted into a bridge console?

Yes, the T1216-C designation specifically indicates the console-mount configuration, designed to fit cleanly into ship bridge control desks. For wall mounting, the bulkhead variant (T1216W-C) should be utilized.

What is the maximum number of detectors allowed per zone?

While governed by local class rules and loop load current calculations, it is standard engineering practice to restrict conventional zones to a maximum of 20-30 devices to maintain effective fault isolation and localization.

Are replacement PCBs and power supply modules readily available?

Yes, core internal spares, including replacement zone cards, motherboard fuses, and power supply units, are fully supported and stocked for maintenance lifecycle continuity.
