Description
CONSILIUM MARINE & SAFETY AB.
SALWICO GAS DETECTION SYSTEM
PRODUCT: SALWICO GDS
PRODUCT NO.: SIC-1A
SENSOR INTERFACE CABINET
FREQUENCY: 50-60 HZ
POWER BOOST M GAS ALARM POWER MODULE
ANALOGUE M 4-20 GAS ALARM INPUT MODULE
The Consilium Salwico SIC-1A is a Sensor Interface Cabinet forming a core hardware component within the Salwico Gas Detection System (GDS) — a dedicated marine fire and gas alarm platform developed by Consilium Marine & Safety AB. The cabinet houses the gas alarm power module and analogue input module, consolidating sensor signal conditioning, power distribution, and alarm interfacing into a single enclosure. It plays a critical role in ensuring continuous monitoring of gas concentrations across protected spaces onboard, supporting the integrity of the vessel’s overall fire and gas detection infrastructure.
Key Features
✓ Houses the Power Boost M Gas Alarm Power Module, providing dedicated power supply management for connected gas detection sensors and field devices.
✓ Incorporates the Analogue M 4-20mA Gas Alarm Input Module, enabling standardised analogue sensor signal reception typical of catalytic bead, infrared, and electrochemical gas detectors.
✓ Operates across a supply frequency of 50–60 Hz, making it compatible with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz vessel electrical systems; voltage rating and further electrical parameters are subject to confirmation against vessel configuration.
✓ Designed for integration within the Salwico GDS platform, ensuring compatibility with Consilium’s broader fire and gas detection control architecture; system-level compatibility with specific panels or controllers should be verified against the installation drawing.
✓ Cabinet format supports organised field wiring and modular component replacement, facilitating structured maintenance, servicing, and fault isolation during scheduled inspections or corrective maintenance.
Marine Applications
✓ Machinery spaces and engine rooms aboard commercial vessels where continuous hydrocarbon or toxic gas monitoring is required as part of a fixed gas detection system.
✓ Pump rooms, cargo holds, and enclosed spaces on tankers and gas carriers where gas detection is mandated under SOLAS and flag state regulations.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels operating in environments with heightened risk of flammable or toxic gas accumulation.
✓ Passenger ferries and cruise ships integrating multi-zone gas detection alongside fire alarm systems to meet class society and statutory safety requirements.
✓ Naval auxiliaries and government vessels requiring reliable, purpose-built sensor interfacing within their integrated safety and monitoring systems.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Salwico SIC-1A Sensor Interface Cabinet is a proven component within a well-established marine gas detection platform, offering reliable sensor signal management and power distribution in a form factor designed for shipboard installation environments where space, reliability, and ease of maintenance are essential.
Ideal For
Tankers, gas carriers, offshore support vessels, passenger vessels, bulk carriers, and any commercial or specialist vessel operating a Consilium Salwico Gas Detection System requiring sensor interface cabinet replacement or system expansion.
Technical Support
Technical support is available for the Consilium Salwico SIC-1A and the broader Salwico GDS platform, covering onboard installation guidance, module-level fault diagnosis, and remote troubleshooting assistance. Support can be arranged to assist engineering teams during planned maintenance or unscheduled repair activities.
