Consilium 5100096-20A Repeater M 4.3 Marine Fire Alarm Panel

Consilium 5100096-20A Repeater M 4.3 Marine OEM Fire Alarm Display Panel

The Consilium 5100096-20A Repeater M 4.3 is an OEM marine-grade remote annunciator and secondary supervisory terminal designed for centralized fire detection platforms (Salwico CCP / CS4000 series). Engineered to satisfy SOLAS Chapter II-2 and marine classification society requirements for remote fire indication, this unit provides real-time event reporting across remote vessel stations—such as the Navigation Bridge, Engine Control Room (ECR), Cargo Control Room (CCR), and Damage Control Stations.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

1. 4.3-Inch High-Contrast Graphical Interface: Transflective TFT screen provides glare-free readability during daytime bridge watches and night-mode dimming.
2. Independent Redundant Network Node: Directly interfaces with the Backbone Bus / Extension Bus (BBE/RS-485) architecture without requiring local external interface cards.
3. Configurable Auxiliary I/O: Equipped with two programmable 24 VDC digital inputs and three 24 VDC open-collector sinking outputs (rated up to 40 mA) for remote mute triggers or local sounders.
4. Rugged Marine Construction: IP32 enclosure rating with internal conformal coating to defend sensitive logic lines against vibration, salt mist, and elevated engine room temperatures.
5. Surface or Console Flush Mount: Ultra-compact 620 g chassis mounts directly on flat bulkheads or embeds into standard console cutouts.

Applications

• Bridge & Wheelhouse Annunciation: Fulfills wheelhouse secondary alarm monitoring requirements under safe manning regulations.
• Engine Control Room (ECR): Visual and audible alarming for machinery space detection loops (smoke, flame, thermal, oil mist).
• Cargo Control Centers (CCR): Remote loop tracking across tanker manifolds, pump rooms, and hazardous cargo hold zones.
• Muster & Fire Control Stations: Fast zone isolation tracking and manual call point (MCP) status review during shipboard fire drills and emergency operations.

System Compatibility

• Main Fire Alarm Panels: Consilium Salwico CCP (Consilium Control Platform), Salwico Cargo, Salwico Ro/Pax, Salwico Workboat, Salwico Cruise, and Salwico CS4000 networks.
• Interfacing Modules: Consilium BBE (Backbone Bus External), Central Control Units, CIU boards, and Loop Interface modules.
• Replacement Drop-In: Direct drop-in replacement for older non-graphical Salwico LED repeaters and damaged 5100096-20A units without rewiring bulkhead frames.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Consilium 5100096-20A and 5100195-20A?

The 5100096-20A is a pure Repeater Panel (M 4.3 Marine OEM) primarily designed for remote indication, event display, and local muting. The 5100195-20A is a Control/Repeater Panel (M 4.3 Cargo/RoPax) that incorporates full central control capability, additional internal communication cards, dual Ethernet interfaces, and advanced configuration menus.

Can the 5100096-20A replace obsolete Consilium CS3000 / CS4000 repeaters?

Yes, in systems upgraded to or running the Consilium Control Platform (CCP) architecture or CS4000 networks that utilize the BBE serial communication protocol. Check your system drawing: older CS3000 loops require interface gateway cards if transitioning to the M 4.3 series.

Does this repeater panel require external programming before installation?

Address assignment is performed either via on-board DIP switch settings or through the technician configuration mode accessed by the display keys and front-panel USB port. Once connected to the network, the central panel downloads the vessel zone descriptors and tag lists to the repeater.
