CONSILIUM
IP-ADAPT SCI
SHORT CIRCUIT ISOLATOR BASE
PART NO: 5100776-00A
REV: A3
SUPPLY: 22-38V DC
TEMP: -40°C TO +70°C
The Consilium IP-ADAPT SCI Short Circuit Isolator Base (part no. 5100776-00A) is a loop protection component designed for use within marine fire alarm systems. Its primary function is to isolate short circuit faults on the detection loop, preventing a single fault from disabling the entire signalling line and ensuring that the remainder of the fire detection network continues to operate. This component is a critical element of loop integrity in addressable fire alarm installations aboard commercial and naval vessels, where continuous system availability is essential for SOLAS compliance and crew safety.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a short circuit isolator base, automatically isolating a faulted loop segment and restoring communication to the unaffected portions of the detection circuit.
✓ Rated supply voltage of 22–38V DC with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, making it suitable for harsh marine environments including exposed or temperature-variable spaces.
✓ Designed for integration within the Consilium IP-ADAPT addressable fire detection system; compatibility with other panels or controllers is subject to confirmation based on system configuration.
✓ Suitable for installation in a wide range of onboard locations including machinery spaces, accommodation areas, and cargo spaces where loop-based detection is deployed.
✓ As a base-mounted isolator, replacement can typically be carried out without disturbing detector wiring, supporting efficient maintenance and minimising system downtime during servicing.
Marine Applications
✓ Addressable fire detection loops aboard merchant vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships where loop fault tolerance is required.
✓ Offshore platforms and FPSOs utilising Consilium IP-ADAPT fire alarm infrastructure in high-risk or safety-critical zones.
✓ Passenger ferries and cruise vessels where fire detection continuity across multiple zones is a regulatory and operational priority.
✓ Naval and coast guard vessels requiring robust, fault-tolerant fire alarm loop architecture in demanding environments.
✓ Newbuild and retrofit fire alarm installations where short circuit isolation is specified as part of the loop design to meet classification society requirements.
