The Autronica BD-505/160EXD is an explosion-protected point heat detector designed for use within marine fire alarm systems aboard commercial and offshore vessels. Carrying an ATEX certification (NEMKO 04ATEX1406 2005) and a temperature class rating of T6 with a maximum ambient temperature of 70°C, this detector is engineered for deployment in hazardous areas where flammable atmospheres may be present. Its IP66-rated enclosure ensures robust protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, making it well suited to demanding shipboard environments. As a critical component of the fire alarm system, it provides reliable thermal detection to support early warning and crew safety onboard.
Key Features
✓ Explosion-protected point heat detector with ATEX certification (NEMKO 04ATEX1406 2005), confirming suitability for hazardous area installations.
✓ Temperature class T6 with maximum ambient temperature of 70°C, as stated in the product data; further electrical specifications are subject to confirmation against the applicable datasheet.
✓ IP66-rated enclosure provides high-level ingress protection, suitable for exposed or wash-down areas in marine environments.
✓ 1/2″ NPT conduit entry facilitates straightforward integration with standard marine electrical installation practices; compatibility with specific fire alarm panels should be confirmed against system documentation.
✓ Designed as a direct service or replacement component within Autronica fire detection systems, supporting continued SOLAS-compliant fire safety arrangements onboard.
Marine Applications
✓ Hazardous area fire detection on offshore platforms, FPSOs, and vessels carrying flammable cargo or operating in explosive atmospheres.
✓ Engine rooms, pump rooms, and cargo spaces aboard tankers where ATEX-rated detection equipment is required by class or flag state regulations.
✓ Replacement or upgrade of existing Autronica point heat detectors within installed fire alarm system loops on commercial and naval vessels.
✓ Accommodation and machinery spaces on offshore support vessels, bulk carriers, and container ships requiring robust, IP66-rated fire detection.
✓ Newbuild and refit projects where explosion-protected fire detection components must meet international certification requirements for hazardous zone classification.
