Description
KONGSBERG
AUTRONICA
TYPE KDU-1B/16
COMMUNICATION PCB CARD
7252-009.0005 SIDE B
The Kongsberg Autronica KDU-1B/16 is a communication PCB card designed for use within Autronica marine fire alarm and detection systems. As a dedicated circuit board module, it handles data communication between system components, enabling reliable signal exchange across the fire detection network. This card plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and responsiveness of the fire alarm system — a safety-essential installation governed by SOLAS requirements aboard commercial and working vessels.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a dedicated communication interface card within the Autronica fire alarm system architecture, facilitating data transfer between system nodes and control panels.
✓ Specific electrical ratings, voltage requirements, and signal protocols are subject to confirmation based on system configuration — consult Autronica system documentation for precise values.
✓ Designed for compatibility with Kongsberg Autronica fire detection systems; exact panel and controller compatibility depends on installed system variant and configuration.
✓ Intended for installation within protected, dry enclosure environments typical of fire alarm control panel housings found in machinery spaces, bridge areas, or dedicated fire control rooms.
✓ As a line-replaceable PCB module, this card supports efficient field servicing and system restoration, minimising system downtime during maintenance or fault rectification activities.
Marine Applications
✓ Fire alarm and detection control panels aboard merchant vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers operating under SOLAS fire safety regulations.
✓ Communication network maintenance within integrated fire detection systems on offshore platforms and support vessels.
✓ Replacement or spare component for Autronica fire alarm installations on passenger ferries and ro-ro vessels where system continuity is operationally critical.
✓ Refit and retrofit projects requiring like-for-like PCB card replacement within existing Kongsberg Autronica system frameworks.
✓ Planned maintenance programmes on naval auxiliaries and coast guard vessels where fire detection system reliability is paramount.
