The Autronica BF-53/EX/0300 is a manual deluge release point designed for use within marine fire alarm and suppression systems. Rated IP66 for protection against powerful water jets and dust ingress, this unit is built to operate reliably in the demanding environments found aboard commercial and offshore vessels. As a field device within a fire alarm system, it provides crew members with a dedicated manual activation point for deluge suppression, playing a critical role in onboard fire safety response and compliance with international maritime fire protection standards.
Key Features
✓ Manual deluge release function with IP66-rated enclosure, finished in high-visibility yellow for rapid identification in emergency scenarios.
✓ Specified operating parameters include a maximum supply voltage of 17.5V DC, ambient temperature rating up to 70°C, CEQ below 10nF, and LEQ of 0 — as stated in the original product data.
✓ Designed for integration within Autronica fire detection and alarm systems; compatibility with specific panels or loop controllers is subject to confirmation based on vessel configuration.
✓ Suitable for installation in locations requiring robust environmental protection, including machinery spaces, pump rooms, and exposed or semi-exposed deck areas where water ingress is a risk.
✓ Serves as a direct replacement component within existing Autronica fire alarm installations, supporting scheduled maintenance, system upgrades, and emergency part substitution.
Marine Applications
✓ Cargo vessels and bulk carriers requiring manual deluge activation points in cargo holds or engine room fire suppression zones.
✓ Offshore platforms and FPSOs where hazardous area fire suppression systems demand robust, clearly marked manual release devices.
✓ Tankers and chemical carriers operating fixed deluge systems over pump rooms, manifold areas, or cargo deck sections.
✓ Passenger vessels and ro-ro ferries with distributed fire alarm networks requiring field-mounted manual release points at key muster or access locations.
✓ Naval auxiliaries and government vessels integrating Autronica fire detection infrastructure across multiple protected zones.
