Opto-Electronic Smoke Detector for Ship Fire Safety

Our opto-electronic smoke detector is a high-performance fire detection solution engineered for the demanding conditions of marine environments. Using advanced photoelectric sensing technology, it provides early warning against smouldering fires, giving crew members critical time to respond. This unit is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard ship alarm systems, ensuring compliance with international maritime safety regulations.

Built with a corrosion-resistant housing and sealed optical chamber, the detector withstands humidity, vibration, and temperature extremes common on commercial vessels. Its low quiescent current makes it ideal for battery-powered or energy-conscious installations, while the built-in test button and LED indicator simplify routine maintenance checks. Whether installed in accommodation areas, engine rooms, or cargo holds, this smoke detector delivers dependable 24/7 protection.

Easy to install with a standard surface-mount base, the detector is supplied with comprehensive instructions for rapid deployment on new or retrofitted ships. Its wide operating voltage range ensures compatibility with most shipboard power systems, and its robust design minimizes false alarms without compromising sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this smoke detector suitable for use on ships?

Yes, it is designed for marine environments, built to withstand vibrations, humidity, and temperature variations typical on vessels. It meets international maritime safety standards.

What type of fires does an opto-electronic detector respond to?

It uses a photoelectric optical chamber to detect smoke particles produced by slow-burning, smouldering fires, such as those involving electrical wiring or mattresses, providing early warning.

What is the power consumption in standby mode?

The detector draws less than 50 µA in standby, making it compatible with most marine alarm control panels and conserving ship power.

Does it have a test function?

Yes, it includes a built-in test button that lets you verify the alarm circuit and LED indicator are functioning correctly without generating smoke.
