About Tyco
Detection And Protection For Different Fire Risks
Tyco combines water-based fire protection with Minerva marine fire-detection systems. Select each range for its application and approval requirements. If you’re identifying an existing sprinkler, its sprinkler identification number (SIN) helps you find the model and technical data.
Minerva T2000 and T2000CV are addressable marine fire-detection controllers. They identify alarms from supported MZX devices and coordinate the vessel’s alarm response.
Choose the controller around the vessel layout, device count, operator stations and required interfaces. These panels use the manufacturer’s MZX technology; Apollo device compatibility must not be assumed.
A modular platform with two MZX digital loops in its standard configuration. Johnson Controls describes expansion to eight loops, supporting up to 1,000 devices, with networking available through the appropriate interface.
T2000CV · Standalone Control
The compact variant provides three loops and up to 750 points. It is a standalone panel and cannot be networked. Specify its supported repeater and interfaces separately.
Specify The Safety Function
A SIL2 claim concerns a defined safety instrumented function. Assess the sensor, controller and final element together, including their failure response, interfaces and test requirements. A SIL2-capable panel does not automatically make the complete installation SIL2.
Separate Marine And Functional Safety Evidence
Review the IEC 61508 documentation alongside marine type approval, supported hardware and software, and vessel acceptance. Keep the safety requirements, cause-and-effect and commissioning records with the system documentation.
T2000 supports an expandable, networkable marine detection architecture. T2000CV provides three loops as a standalone panel and cannot be networked. Check the current configuration and supported repeaters before selecting either model.
Does A SIL2 Panel Make The Whole System SIL2?
No. Define and assess the complete safety function, including detection, controller, final elements, interfaces and proof testing. The panel's documentation is one part of that assessment.
Can Minerva Use Apollo Detectors?
Minerva uses MZX technology. Do not assume Apollo loop compatibility. For a project using Apollo devices, compare the supported Marinelec or Kentec configuration and its marine approval separately.
Can I replace a sprinkler with one that has the same thread?
No. You also need to match the sprinkler identification number (SIN), response, K-factor, temperature, orientation, coverage and approval.
Can I use an imperial K-factor in the metric calculator?
No. You need a K-factor in litres per minute per square-root bar for this calculator. Entering an imperial K-factor will give you the wrong result.
Does the flow calculator design a sprinkler system?
No. You can use it to calculate flow at a given pressure. You still need a complete hydraulic design that accounts for pipe losses, water supply, density, spacing and the applicable standard.
Can a painted or damaged sprinkler be cleaned and reused?
Do not repaint, modify or attempt to repair a sprinkler. Have the maintenance contractor assess it and replace it where required by the manufacturer’s instructions.
How do I identify a Tyco sprinkler?
Record its sprinkler identification number, temperature marking, response type and orientation. Photos of the markings and any cover plate help identify the exact model.
Will any concealed sprinkler cover plate fit?
No. Use the cover plate specified for the sprinkler model, including its temperature rating and installation adjustment. Similar size or appearance does not establish compatibility.
