The EMS FireCell FCX-177-001 is an optical smoke detector head designed specifically for wireless fire detection applications when combined with compatible FireCell wireless bases. This detector-only component provides EN54-7 certified smoke detection capability, utilizing optical sensing technology to identify smoke particles and trigger alarm conditions. The detector head must be paired with one of the compatible wireless bases (FCX-170-001, FCX-170-101, FCX-191-000, or FCX-191-200) to create a complete wireless detection system with individual addressing capability at the fire control panel.

Featuring an integrated fire indication LED for immediate visual alarm confirmation, the FCX-177-001 includes an anti-tamper locking mechanism that secures the detector head to the wireless base, preventing unauthorized removal once installed. The FasTest maintenance feature enables rapid functional testing and verification during routine service visits, reducing maintenance time while ensuring continued compliance with fire safety requirements. The compact 113mm diameter design integrates seamlessly with EMS FireCell wireless bases to deliver comprehensive smoke detection without hardwired infrastructure.

Manufactured to rigorous EN54-7 standards for smoke detection performance, the FCX-177-001 carries third-party certification with DoP references 0359-CPR-0017 and 0359-CPR-0041, alongside CE, UKCA, and BOSEC approvals. The detector operates across temperatures from -10°C to 55°C with IP23 environmental protection for indoor applications. When combined with a compatible wireless base, the complete assembly provides dual band 868 MHz communication to FireCell control panels including the Fusion RLM, delivering reliable wireless fire detection for commercial and residential installations.
