The Autronica BHH-500/S/N is a High Sense optical smoke detector designed for use within marine fire alarm systems aboard commercial and industrial vessels. Engineered to detect the early presence of smoke in enclosed shipboard spaces, this detector plays a critical role in fire detection and crew safety. Certified to EN 54-17: 2005 and carrying both ATEX and IECEx approvals for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, it is built to meet the demanding environmental and regulatory requirements of the marine industry. Its integration within a fire alarm system ensures timely alerts that support safe vessel operation and compliance with international fire safety standards.
Key Features
✓ High Sense optical smoke detection technology for early-warning fire alarm response in enclosed shipboard spaces.
✓ Rated IP44D with a maximum ambient temperature of TA=70°C, providing reliable performance in challenging marine environments.
✓ ATEX certified (NEMCO 03ATEX 217X) and IECEx certified (IECEx NEM 11.0017X) for Group IIB, Category 3G hazardous area applications; compliant with EN 54-17: 2005.
✓ Designed for compatibility within Autronica fire detection systems; system panel and loop compatibility subject to confirmation based on vessel configuration.
✓ Suitable for installation in hazardous or semi-enclosed areas onboard; a direct replacement component for maintenance and service of existing Autronica fire alarm installations.
Marine Applications
✓ Engine rooms, machinery spaces, and pump rooms aboard merchant vessels where hazardous atmosphere classification requires ATEX-rated detection equipment.
✓ Offshore supply vessels, platform supply vessels (PSVs), and offshore support vessels operating under strict fire safety and hazardous area regulations.
✓ Tankers and chemical carriers where flammable vapour environments demand certified smoke detection with appropriate explosion protection ratings.
✓ Naval auxiliaries, ferries, and ro-ro vessels requiring EN 54-compliant fire alarm components throughout accommodation and working spaces.
✓ Retrofit and maintenance applications on vessels already fitted with Autronica fire detection systems requiring like-for-like detector replacement.
