The Autronica BZB-500 is an interface and shunt-protection unit used with Autronica interactive fire detection systems. It forms part of the Ex-barrier arrangement, providing galvanic/intrinsic-safety protection between the safe area and Ex ia-approved detectors installed in hazardous areas.
Features
- Provides intrinsic-safety protection for Ex ia-approved fire detectors.
- Provides shunt protection and interface functionality between a certified safety barrier and intrinsically safe detectors.
- Used as part of the BZ-500 Ex-barrier assembly.
- Designed for connection of detectors located in hazardous/Ex areas.
- Supports a detector branch with up to 20 Ex ia-approved detectors when used in the specified Autronica configuration.
- Designed for integration with Autronica interactive fire detection loops.
- Available in different revisions, including Rev. 2 and Rev. 5 in equipment listings.
- Certified for hazardous-area applications under relevant ATEX and IECEx approvals.
Typical Applications
- Hazardous-area fire detection systems
- Oil & gas installations
- Offshore platforms
- Marine fire detection systems
- Petrochemical and chemical plants
- Ex ia detector installations
- AutroSafe interactive fire detection systems
- AutroPrime fire detection systems
