The Autronica BHH-500/N is a marine-grade smoke detector head designed for use within shipboard fire alarm systems. As a core sensing component, it provides early detection of smoke and combustion particles, enabling rapid response to fire events before conditions escalate. Built to operate in demanding marine environments, this detector head carries an IP44D ingress protection rating and a maximum ambient temperature rating of TA=70°C, making it suitable for installation in a range of onboard spaces. It forms part of the Autronica fire detection product family and is intended for integration into compatible fire alarm control systems. Reliable smoke detection is a fundamental requirement under SOLAS fire safety regulations, making components such as this essential to vessel compliance and crew safety.
Key Features
✓ Smoke detector head designed for early-stage fire detection in marine fire alarm systems, responding to visible and invisible combustion particles.
✓ Rated TA=70°C maximum ambient temperature and IP44D ingress protection, as stated in the original product data, suitable for moderate-humidity enclosed spaces.
✓ Manufactured by Autronica, a recognised supplier of marine fire detection equipment; intended for use with compatible Autronica fire alarm panels and loop controllers — specific panel compatibility subject to confirmation.
✓ Certified reference 1134-CPD-016 noted on the unit; installation should be carried out in accordance with the applicable control drawing BS-1375 and vessel fire safety requirements.
✓ Detector head format allows for field replacement or service swap without full system overhaul, supporting efficient maintenance routines during planned dry-dock or at-sea servicing.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation spaces, cabins, and corridors on merchant vessels, ferries, and passenger ships requiring continuous smoke monitoring.
✓ Engine room periphery spaces, control rooms, and electrical switchboard areas where early fire detection is operationally critical.
✓ Offshore platforms and support vessels with Autronica-based fire detection infrastructure requiring like-for-like detector head replacement.
✓ Naval auxiliaries and government vessels operating fire alarm systems that demand certified, specification-matched components.
✓ Cargo vessels and tankers where compliance with SOLAS fire detection requirements necessitates maintained and functional smoke detection coverage throughout protected zones.
