The Autronica BHH-31A/EX is an optical smoke detector supplied complete with its mounting base, designed for use within marine fire alarm systems. Employing light-scattering optical detection technology, it identifies the presence of smoke particles in the monitored environment and triggers the connected fire alarm panel at the earliest stage of a developing fire. As a core component of a shipboard fire detection network, reliable performance from this type of detector is essential to crew safety, vessel compliance, and the protection of cargo and machinery spaces.
Key Features
✓ Optical smoke detection technology using light-scattering principles for early-stage smoke identification, supplied complete with dedicated mounting base for straightforward installation.
✓ Certified to EN 54-7, the recognised standard for point-type smoke detectors using scattered light, transmitted light, or ionisation — confirming performance to an established benchmark.
✓ Compatible with Autronica fire detection systems; exact panel and loop compatibility should be confirmed against the vessel’s installed system configuration and documentation.
✓ Suitable for installation in accommodation spaces, control rooms, and other monitored areas onboard where optical detection is specified; mounting and environmental ratings subject to confirmation per installation requirements.
✓ Direct replacement component for Autronica BHH-31A/EX installations, supporting scheduled maintenance, detector head replacement programmes, and fire system servicing routines onboard.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation blocks, cabins, and corridors aboard merchant vessels where early smoke detection is required as part of SOLAS-compliant fire alarm arrangements.
✓ Control rooms, wheelhouses, and ECR spaces on offshore vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers where protection of critical operational areas is a priority.
✓ Passenger ferries and cruise vessels requiring high-density detector coverage across multiple monitored zones connected to a central fire alarm panel.
✓ Offshore platforms and support vessels operating Autronica fire detection systems as part of their integrated safety and alarm infrastructure.
✓ Newbuild and retrofit fire alarm projects where EN 54-7 certified optical detectors are specified by class surveyors or fire system designers.
