Description
AUTRONICA
BWA-40A
SMOKE DETECTOR BASE
The Autronica BWA-40A is a smoke detector base forming part of a marine fire alarm system installation. Designed to serve as the mounting and electrical interface for compatible smoke detectors, this base secures the detector head in place while ensuring a stable connection to the fire alarm loop or panel. Reliable detector bases are a critical element of shipboard fire detection systems, enabling quick removal and replacement of detector heads during servicing without disturbing the fixed wiring — an important consideration for maintaining continuous fire protection compliance onboard.
Key Features
✓ Functions as the fixed mounting base for compatible Autronica smoke detector heads, providing secure mechanical and electrical connection.
✓ Designed for integration within Autronica fire alarm systems; compatibility with specific panels or loops is subject to confirmation based on vessel configuration.
✓ Supports efficient detector maintenance by allowing the detector head to be detached independently, minimising system downtime during inspection or replacement.
✓ Suitable for installation in typical shipboard accommodation, machinery, and service spaces where smoke detection is required under fire safety regulations.
✓ Exact electrical ratings, dimensions, and certifications depend on configuration — consult technical documentation or contact support for confirmation.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation and cabin spaces aboard passenger vessels, ferries, and cruise ships where continuous smoke detection is mandatory.
✓ Machinery spaces, control rooms, and switchboard rooms on commercial cargo vessels and tankers.
✓ Offshore platforms and support vessels requiring fixed fire detection systems in habitable and operational areas.
✓ Naval and coast guard vessels where Autronica fire alarm infrastructure is part of the installed detection network.
✓ Retrofit and maintenance projects on existing vessels upgrading or replacing components within an Autronica fire alarm system.
