Description
AUTRONICA
TYPE: KR-13A/Y6H
DEAD MAN ALARM PANEL
NO: 0373
The Autronica KR-13A/Y6H is a Dead Man Alarm Panel designed to monitor the alertness of the officer on watch aboard commercial and working vessels. Forming part of a broader fire alarm and safety monitoring system, this panel issues periodic alert signals that must be acknowledged within a set interval. Failure to respond triggers a sequential alarm escalation, ultimately alerting the crew or bridge to a potential incapacitation. As a critical safety component within marine fire alarm and watchkeeping systems, it plays a direct role in preventing unattended navigation and supporting SOLAS-related bridge watch requirements.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a Dead Man Alarm (DAMA) panel, periodically prompting watchkeeper acknowledgement to confirm alertness and prevent unattended bridge operation.
✓ Specific voltage ratings, response intervals, and dimensional data are subject to confirmation based on vessel configuration and system integration.
✓ Designed for integration within Autronica fire alarm and safety monitoring systems; compatibility with specific controllers or panels should be verified against onboard system documentation.
✓ Suitable for installation in bridge or watchkeeping areas; mounting and environmental suitability (dry areas, control room enclosures) is typical for this panel type and should be confirmed for the specific installation.
✓ Intended as a direct service or replacement unit for existing Autronica DAMA installations; part number KR-13A/Y6H should be cross-referenced with the vessel’s existing system records prior to installation.
Marine Applications
✓ Merchant vessels and cargo ships requiring SOLAS-compliant bridge watchkeeping alarm systems to prevent unattended navigation.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels where continuous watchkeeping monitoring is mandated by flag state or classification society requirements.
✓ Tankers and bulk carriers operating extended sea passages with reduced bridge crew, where Dead Man Alarm functionality is essential for safety management.
✓ Ferries and passenger vessels where regulatory watchkeeping standards require periodic alertness confirmation from the officer on watch.
✓ Fishing vessels and workboats fitted with Autronica safety systems requiring replacement or upgraded DAMA panel components.
