A. Compliance with Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) using USCG Approved Equipment.
B.
POWER – Although the required two sources of power are available from the main and standby
generators, optional short term battery backup is also acceptable. The BC-35 Battery Charger
Module, the MM-35 Meter Module, and the BK-33 9 AH Battery Module serve this purpose.
C.
ZONES – Fourteen smoke detection zones with manual stations included. The seven ZU-35TS modules
satisfy this requirement. One intrinsically safe zone requires ion detectors, supervised auto-
matic damper release, along with its own distinctive audible signal immediately outside the
area. The ZS-30 intrinsically safe zone module, the RM-30U release module, and the AE-30U
(no. 2) alarm extender module serve this purpose.
D.
AUDIBLE ALARMS –
1. It is specified that bells are pulsed in order to distinguish fire signals from steady bells of the
emergency alarms. The MC-30 Master Code Module does this.
2. The SOLAS requirement of sounding bells in the crews spaces if the alarm signals at the
control panel have not received attention within 2 minutes is satisfied by the TL-30U Time
Limit Module and the AE-30U (no. 1) Alarm Extender Module.
E.
SUPPLEMENTARY CONTROL –
Each of the fourteen zones has its separate AC unit which is to be shutdown upon alarm. The
three SR-32 modules serve this purpose. The SR-30 or SR-35 Relay Modules can also be used
for similar control functions.

NOTE: When designing Fire Control Systems for various types of vessels, the designer should be
aware of the required vessel type, domestic and SOLAS regulations applicable for that vessel.
