The Autronica BU-BV-420G2 is a SIL2-rated repeater panel designed for fire alarm systems operating in oil & gas environments. Certified to IEC 61508 and EN 54-2:1997/A1:2006, it serves as a remote indication and control interface within a larger fire detection network, mirroring the status of the main fire alarm control panel at secondary monitoring stations. This component is critical for maintaining situational awareness across extended or complex vessel and offshore facility layouts, ensuring that fire alarm status is accessible from multiple control points without compromising system integrity.
Key Features
✓ SIL2-rated repeater panel certified to IEC 61508, confirming compliance with functional safety requirements for safety-instrumented systems in high-risk environments.
✓ Certified to EN 54-2:1997/A1:2006 with certificate reference 0359-CPD-008, meeting European standards for fire detection and fire alarm control equipment.
✓ Designed specifically for oil & gas applications, making it suitable for hazardous and safety-critical fire alarm installations where system reliability is paramount.
✓ Functions as a repeater panel, providing remote mirroring of main panel status — typical installation locations include bridge wings, engine control rooms, and secondary control stations; exact mounting configuration subject to site requirements.
✓ Compatible with Autronica fire alarm systems; specific panel and loop controller compatibility should be confirmed against the vessel’s existing system configuration prior to installation.
Marine Applications
✓ Offshore platforms, FPSOs, and oil & gas production vessels requiring SIL2-compliant fire alarm repeater functionality at secondary control points.
✓ LNG and LPG carriers where fire alarm system redundancy and remote status indication are mandated by safety management requirements.
✓ Drillships and semi-submersible rigs integrating Autronica fire detection systems across multiple manned zones and control stations.
✓ Bridge and engine control room installations on tankers and specialist vessels where secondary fire alarm indication supports SOLAS and class compliance.
✓ Retrofit and replacement applications within existing Autronica BU-BV series fire alarm system installations across commercial and offshore vessel fleets.
