CONSILIUM
SALWICO AOHS-EXN
OPTICAL SMOKE/HEAT DETECTOR
PART NUMBER: N11255
CLASS: IP42
The Consilium Salwico AOHS-EXN is a combined optical smoke and heat detector designed for use within marine fire alarm systems. Combining two detection principles in a single unit, it provides early warning of both smouldering fires — detected optically through light-scattering technology — and rapid temperature rise events. Rated IP42, this detector is suited for installation in the protected interior spaces found across a wide range of commercial and naval vessels. As a component within the Salwico fire detection range, it plays a direct role in meeting the onboard fire safety requirements that underpin SOLAS compliance and flag state regulations.
Key Features
✓ Dual-function detection combining optical smoke sensing and heat detection in a single compact unit for broader fire signature coverage.
✓ Rated IP42, providing protection against solid particle ingress and dripping water — suitable for typical enclosed shipboard environments.
✓ Designed for integration within Consilium Salwico fire alarm and detection systems; compatibility with specific panels subject to confirmation based on vessel configuration.
✓ Part number N11255 allows straightforward cross-referencing for planned maintenance, spares procurement, and class survey documentation purposes.
✓ Intended as a direct replacement or service spare within existing Salwico installations, minimising system downtime during scheduled maintenance or fault rectification.
Marine Applications
✓ Accommodation spaces, cabins, and corridors aboard passenger ferries, cruise vessels, and ro-ro ships where early fire detection is operationally critical.
✓ Engine room periphery areas, control rooms, and switchboard spaces on merchant cargo vessels and bulk carriers equipped with Salwico fire detection systems.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels requiring reliable fire detection across multiple monitored zones.
✓ Naval auxiliaries and government vessels where dual-detection units are specified to meet elevated fire safety standards.
✓ Newbuild and retrofit fire alarm system installations where Consilium Salwico is the approved detection system supplier.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Salwico AOHS-EXN is a trusted detector within the Consilium ecosystem, offering dual-technology detection in a robust, marine-rated housing. Its direct compatibility with Salwico systems makes it a practical choice for maintenance teams seeking a reliable, like-for-like replacement that keeps fire detection coverage intact without system reconfiguration.
Ideal For
Passenger vessels, cargo ships, bulk carriers, offshore support vessels, ro-ro ferries, naval auxiliaries, and any commercial vessel operating a Consilium Salwico fire alarm system.
