SALWICO EVC-PY-IS
INTRINSICALLY SAFE
OPTICAL SMOKE DETECTOR HEAD
STOCK NO: N1144
TEMP -20° TO +50°C AMBIENT
0786-CPD-21229
The Consilium Salwico EVC-PY-IS is an intrinsically safe optical smoke detector head designed for use within marine fire alarm systems where hazardous area protection is essential. Utilising optical detection technology, this unit senses the presence of smoke by measuring changes in light scattering within the detection chamber, providing reliable early warning capability. Its intrinsically safe classification makes it suitable for deployment in zones where the risk of flammable atmospheres is present, making it a safety-critical component in shipboard fire detection infrastructure.
Key Features
✓ Optical detection principle provides reliable smoke sensing without reliance on ionisation, offering stable performance across a wide range of smoke types typical in marine environments.
✓ Rated for an ambient temperature range of -20°C to +50°C, making it suitable for use in both cold-climate operations and warm machinery-adjacent spaces subject to confirmation of specific installation conditions.
✓ Intrinsically safe certification (reference 0786-CPD-21229) supports installation in hazardous classified zones onboard vessels; compatibility with specific Salwico fire detection panels and loop configurations should be confirmed against vessel drawings.
✓ Designed as a detector head unit for integration into the Salwico EVC series fire alarm system, supporting addressable or conventional loop architectures typical of Consilium marine installations.
✓ Straightforward head replacement design allows servicing or swap-out without full system disruption, supporting planned maintenance schedules and minimising vessel downtime during fire system upkeep.
Marine Applications
✓ Hazardous area fire detection on tankers, gas carriers, and chemical tankers where intrinsically safe equipment is mandatory in designated zones.
✓ Engine room and machinery space fire alarm systems on offshore support vessels, platform supply vessels, and general cargo ships fitted with Consilium Salwico detection equipment.
✓ Pump rooms, battery rooms, and other classified spaces on commercial vessels requiring compliant smoke detection as part of SOLAS fire safety arrangements.
✓ Accommodation, control room, and technical space monitoring on cruise ships, ferries, and RoPax vessels operating Salwico-based fire alarm infrastructure.
✓ Retrofit and replacement programmes on vessels where ageing Salwico detector heads require renewal to maintain system integrity and flag state compliance.
