Frequently Asked Questions

What is an addressable fire alarm controller and how does it work on a ship?

An addressable fire alarm controller is the central brain of a marine fire detection system. It communicates with individual detectors and call points on a data loop, allowing it to pinpoint the exact device that triggered an alarm. This speeds up response and reduces false alarms.

How many fire zones can I monitor with this controller?

The controller supports software-configured zones, typically up to 128 zones depending on the loop configuration. Each zone can represent a different compartment or area on the vessel, making it easy to localize a fire.

Is the controller suitable for offshore and shipboard installations?

Yes, the controller is built with a rugged marine-grade enclosure that withstands vibration, humidity, and salt-laden air. It is designed to meet SOLAS and classification society requirements for offshore and shipboard use.

Can I expand the system if my vessel has additional detection points later?

Absolutely. The system is scalable. You can add more addressable devices up to the maximum loop capacity, and even connect multiple controllers via networking for larger vessels or platforms.
