The Autronica BF-502/EX is an intrinsically safe manual call point designed for use in hazardous area fire alarm systems aboard commercial vessels, offshore platforms, and other marine installations. Rated IP66 for protection against water ingress and dust, and certified to ATEX standards (EEX IA IIC T5, 03ATEX218X, II1G), this unit is engineered for reliable manual fire alarm activation in zones where explosive atmospheres may be present. As a critical component within a vessel’s fire alarm system, it enables crew members to trigger an alarm manually, supporting rapid emergency response and compliance with international maritime safety requirements.
Key Features
✓ Intrinsically safe manual call point with ATEX certification (EEX IA IIC T5, 03ATEX218X, II1G), rated for use in Group IIC hazardous gas environments.
✓ Rated IP66 for robust protection against high-pressure water jets and dust ingress, suitable for harsh marine environments with a maximum ambient temperature of 70°C.
✓ Electrical parameters as specified: input voltage UI = 15.75V~, input current LI = 63.5mA, and input capacitance CI = 21.6nF — confirming compatibility with intrinsically safe loop configurations.
✓ Designed for integration into Autronica fire detection systems; compatibility with specific panels or controllers should be confirmed against the vessel’s system configuration.
✓ Suitable for installation in hazardous and exposed locations including machinery spaces, pump rooms, and process areas where SOLAS fire detection requirements apply.
Marine Applications
✓ Offshore supply vessels and platform support vessels operating in hazardous zone-classified areas requiring ATEX-rated fire detection equipment.
✓ Chemical tankers and oil tankers where pump rooms, cargo areas, and enclosed hazardous spaces require intrinsically safe manual alarm activation.
✓ LNG and LPG carriers where Group IIC gas group certification is essential for fire safety system compliance.
✓ Drill ships and floating production units (FPSOs) where hazardous area fire alarm systems must meet strict international safety standards.
✓ Naval auxiliaries and commercial vessels with Autronica fire alarm systems requiring like-for-like replacement of manual call points in certified hazardous zones.
