AUTRONICA
FIRE AND SECURITY
OPTICAL SMOKE DETECTOR HEAD
BHH-31A
The Autronica BHH-31A is an optical smoke detector head used within marine fire alarm systems to provide early-stage smoke detection across protected spaces onboard. Employing light-scattering optical sensing technology, it detects the presence of smoke particles before a fire develops into a critical event, making it a fundamental component in any vessel’s life safety infrastructure. As part of an Autronica Fire and Security detection system, this detector head plays a direct role in SOLAS-mandated fire detection arrangements.
Key Features
✓ Optical detection principle uses light-scattering technology to identify smoke particles at an early stage, enabling prompt alarm activation.
✓ Specific electrical ratings, response thresholds, and physical dimensions are subject to confirmation against the BHH-31A datasheet and installation documentation.
✓ Designed for compatibility with Autronica Fire and Security detection systems and associated control panels; system compatibility should be verified for specific loop or panel configurations.
✓ Suitable for installation in accommodation spaces, machinery spaces, and other protected areas onboard where reliable smoke detection is required to meet fire safety regulations.
✓ Intended as a direct replacement or service spare for existing Autronica fire detection installations, supporting scheduled maintenance and corrective repair programmes.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation and crew quarters on merchant vessels, ferries, and passenger ships where continuous smoke detection coverage is mandatory.
✓ Engine room and machinery space fire detection loops on cargo ships, tankers, and offshore support vessels.
✓ Public spaces and service areas aboard cruise ships and Ro-Ro passenger ferries requiring distributed detector coverage.
✓ Wheelhouse and navigation spaces on offshore platforms, tugs, and workboats fitted with Autronica fire alarm systems.
✓ Replacement detector heads during dry-dock maintenance periods or following detector failure identified during routine fire system testing.
