GCA-100/U 14
The Autronica GCA-100/EX-U 14 is an intrinsically safe temperature transmitter designed for use within marine fire alarm and detection systems. Outputting a standard 4–20mA signal, it converts temperature measurements into a reliable analogue signal suitable for monitoring and alarm processing. Its EEx ia IIC T6 certification makes it appropriate for installation in hazardous areas onboard, where precise temperature sensing is critical to early fire detection and crew safety. As a core field device within the fire alarm system, it plays a direct role in maintaining the integrity of onboard safety infrastructure.
Key Features
✓ Provides a 4–20mA analogue output signal for accurate, continuous temperature measurement and transmission to connected monitoring systems.
✓ Rated EEx ia IIC T6 with a maximum supply voltage of 30V DC, CEQ < 0.1µF, and LEQ = 0µH — confirming intrinsic safety parameters for hazardous area use.
✓ Compatible with Autronica fire alarm and detection system architectures; specific panel or controller compatibility is subject to confirmation based on system configuration.
✓ Designed for installation in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present, including machinery spaces, pump rooms, and other classified zones onboard.
✓ Serves as a direct replacement or spare component within existing Autronica fire detection installations, supporting scheduled maintenance and rapid system restoration.
Marine Applications
✓ Installed in hazardous area fire detection loops aboard tankers, gas carriers, and chemical tankers where intrinsically safe equipment is a regulatory requirement.
✓ Used in engine room and machinery space fire alarm systems on offshore vessels, platform supply vessels, and drilling units.
✓ Applied in pump room and cargo area temperature monitoring systems where continuous analogue sensing is required for early warning.
✓ Integrated into fire and gas detection networks on LNG and LPG carriers requiring IIC-group certified instrumentation.
✓ Suitable for temperature monitoring duties on passenger vessels, Ro-Ro ferries, and bulk carriers as part of a SOLAS-compliant fire detection system.
