116-BSD-310/N
The Autronica BSD-310/N is a Loop Driver Module designed for use in Zone 2 hazardous area fire detection systems aboard commercial and offshore vessels. As a core component within the Autronica fire alarm system architecture, the loop driver module manages and powers detection loops, enabling reliable signal transmission between field devices and the central fire alarm panel. Its role is operationally critical — ensuring continuous, supervised communication across the detection network in environments where flammable atmospheres may be present. Correct loop drive performance is fundamental to the integrity of any shipboard fire alarm system and directly supports compliance with SOLAS fire safety requirements.
Key Features
✓ Designed specifically for Zone 2 hazardous area installations, certified to ATEX standard 03ATEX217, classification II(3)G, group IIB — as stated in the original product data.
✓ Rated IP20 with a maximum ambient temperature of TA=70°C, suitable for installation in protected enclosures and control panels in moderate thermal environments.
✓ Compatible with the Autronica fire alarm system platform; subject to confirmation of panel generation and loop configuration for specific vessel installations.
✓ Multiple part numbers (05.08.44.058, 05.08.44.056, 05.07.16.007) may indicate variant configurations — suitability for a specific application should be verified against the existing system setup prior to installation.
✓ Designed for panel-mounted installation within fire alarm control enclosures; replacement and service should follow Autronica system documentation and applicable shipboard maintenance procedures.
Marine Applications
✓ Offshore supply vessels and platform support vessels operating in potentially explosive atmospheres requiring Zone 2 certified fire detection components.
✓ Tankers and chemical carriers where hazardous area fire alarm loop integrity is a classification and flag state requirement.
✓ Passenger vessels and cruise ships utilising Autronica fire alarm systems across multiple detection zones and control loops.
✓ Cargo vessels, bulk carriers, and container ships where centralised fire alarm panels rely on loop driver modules for multi-zone detection coverage.
✓ Drillships and semi-submersible rigs requiring ATEX-rated fire detection components integrated into broader safety and gas detection systems.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
Marine engineers and vessel operators specify the Autronica BSD-310/N because it meets the stringent ATEX certification requirements for Zone 2 environments, integrates directly into the Autronica fire alarm platform, and provides the loop driving reliability that safety-critical detection networks demand at sea.
Ideal For
Tankers, chemical carriers, offshore support vessels, drillships, passenger vessels, cargo ships, and any vessel class operating Autronica fire alarm systems with Zone 2 hazardous area detection requirements.
Technical Support
Technical support is available for the Autronica BSD-310/N Loop Driver Module, covering onboard installation guidance, system integration, and remote troubleshooting assistance. Support extends to loop configuration queries and general repair or replacement advisory for Autronica fire alarm systems.
