AUTRONICA
KDL-20/AI8
7212-111..0002
ANALOG INPUT BOARD
4-20MA
SIDE A
The Autronica KDL-20/AI8 is an analog input board designed for use within marine fire alarm and detection systems. Operating on the 4–20mA signal standard, this board accepts continuous analog inputs from connected sensors or detectors, enabling real-time monitoring of fire and gas conditions onboard. As a core component of the KDL-20 fire detection platform, the AI8 board plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and responsiveness of the vessel’s fire safety infrastructure — a key requirement under SOLAS regulations for commercial and passenger vessels.
Key Features
✓ Analog input board accepting 4–20mA signal inputs for continuous, proportional monitoring from field-connected sensors.
✓ Designated as Side A, indicating a specific board position or channel configuration within the KDL-20 system architecture — subject to confirmation against panel layout.
✓ Compatible with the Autronica KDL-20 fire detection and alarm system; integration with other panels or controllers should be verified against system configuration documentation.
✓ Designed for installation within fire alarm control enclosures in protected, dry locations onboard; supports SOLAS-compliant fire detection requirements for commercial vessels.
✓ A direct replacement board for KDL-20 systems experiencing analog input faults; part number 7212-111.0002 should be confirmed against the installed system’s hardware revision before ordering.
Marine Applications
✓ Cargo vessels, bulk carriers, and tankers requiring continuous analog fire detection monitoring across machinery spaces and cargo areas.
✓ Passenger ferries and cruise vessels where multi-zone fire alarm systems demand reliable analog signal processing at the panel level.
✓ Offshore platforms and support vessels integrating fire and gas detection systems with analog sensor outputs.
✓ Naval and coast guard vessels maintaining SOLAS-equivalent fire safety standards with structured detection architecture.
✓ Ro-Ro and container vessels where the KDL-20 platform is the installed fire alarm system and board-level replacement is required during scheduled maintenance or fault rectification.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
Marine engineers rely on genuine Autronica replacement boards like the KDL-20/AI8 to maintain system continuity without requiring full panel replacement. The 4–20mA analog interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of field sensors, making this board a practical and precise solution for restoring fire alarm functionality with minimal disruption to vessel operations.
Ideal For
Commercial cargo vessels, tankers, passenger ships, offshore support vessels, and any vessel operating the Autronica KDL-20 fire alarm platform requiring analog input board replacement or system expansion.
Technical Support
Technical support is available for the Autronica KDL-20/AI8 analog input board, covering onboard installation guidance, fault diagnosis, and remote troubleshooting assistance. Support extends to board-level repair considerations and system reintegration within the KDL-20 fire alarm platform.
