Application Fields
The SW2020 is primarily utilized in cargo pump rooms, engine rooms, ballast tanks, and hazardous material storage areas on tanker vessels, offshore platforms, and specialized industrial plants. It is essential for compliance with international safety regulations, including SOLAS requirements, providing a localized display and centralized data output to the vessel’s Integrated Alarm and Monitoring System (IAMS).
Instructions for Use
Installation must be carried out in a gas-free, non-hazardous zone, typically within the central control room. Secure the panel to the wall using the provided mounting brackets and connect the field bus loop to the terminal blocks according to the system wiring diagram. Upon power-up, the unit initiates a self-diagnostic sequence to check the integrity of connected gas sensors. During normal operation, the front-panel LED indicators and graphical display provide real-time status of each detection point. If a threshold is exceeded, the panel triggers audible/visual alarms and activates external relays (e.g., ventilation fans or emergency shut-off valves). Periodic testing of sensors using standardized gas mixtures is required to ensure detection accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sensors can the SW2020 panel monitor? The SW2020 is modular and can be scaled to support various loop configurations, typically handling up to 64 or 128 addressable sensors depending on the specific firmware version and I/O expansion modules installed.
What should I do if a “Sensor Fault” alarm appears? First, check the cable connection for the specific sensor reported on the display. If the wiring is secure, the fault is likely due to sensor poisoning, expiration, or physical damage, requiring a sensor head replacement.
Can the system be integrated with other fire alarm systems? Yes, the SW2020 is designed to communicate via standard industrial protocols (such as Modbus or proprietary serial interfaces) to report data to a higher-level Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS).
Is the panel intrinsically safe? The panel itself is not intrinsically safe; it must be installed in a safe area. However, it provides intrinsic safety (Ex i) barriers for the field cables leading to detectors located in hazardous zones.
