The Autronica BHH-500/EX is a marine-grade smoke detector supplied complete with its mounting base, forming part of a certified fire detection assembly. Designed for use in hazardous and demanding environments, this unit is a core component of shipboard fire alarm systems where reliable early smoke detection is critical to crew safety and vessel protection. With an IP44D ingress protection rating and a maximum ambient temperature rating of 70°C, it is suited to the harsh thermal and environmental conditions found across a wide range of onboard spaces. As part of the Fire Alarm System category, it supports compliance with international marine safety requirements.
Key Features
✓ Optical smoke detection function with integrated base, rated at UI=15.75V, LI=63.5mA, and CI=21.6nF as specified by the manufacturer.
✓ Certified to EN54-7:2000 A1 2002, confirming compliance with European standards for point-type smoke detectors using scattered light, transmitted light, or ionization principles.
✓ IP44D ingress protection rating with a maximum ambient temperature of 70°C, making it suitable for enclosed machinery spaces and other demanding shipboard environments.
✓ EX-designation indicates suitability for use in potentially explosive atmospheres — subject to confirmation against installation zone classification and applicable regulations.
✓ Supplied as a detector-and-base assembly, simplifying direct replacement and reducing installation time during scheduled maintenance or system servicing.
Marine Applications
✓ Engine rooms, generator spaces, and auxiliary machinery areas aboard commercial and offshore vessels where smoke detection in high-temperature environments is required.
✓ Hazardous area fire detection loops on tankers, chemical carriers, and offshore platforms where EX-rated equipment is mandated.
✓ Accommodation, cargo control rooms, and switchboard spaces on vessels operating under SOLAS fire safety regulations.
✓ Integration into Autronica fire alarm and detection systems as a field device within loop-based or conventional detection architectures.
✓ Retrofit and like-for-like replacement applications on vessels already equipped with Autronica fire detection infrastructure.
