Description
Maretron High-Temp Smoke/Heat Detector Kit | Boat Supply Store
Proactive fire detection is paramount in operational engine rooms or other high-temperature marine environments where conventional alarms may fail. This NMEA 2000® integrated system provides critical early warning by detecting both smoke and rapid temperature increases. Engineered to function reliably within a robust operating temperature range of -25°C (-13°F) to +70°C (158°F), it safeguards vessels by sending alerts directly to your vessel's network. For owners of sportfishing boats operating offshore in demanding conditions, this offers an indispensable layer of safety.
Key Features
- Intelligent NMEA 2000® networked solution for seamless vessel integration.
- Alerts proactively for unusually fast temperature rises or smoke presence.
- Designed specifically for demanding high-temperature marine environments like engine rooms.
- Rated for operation between -25°C (-13°F) and +70°C (158°F) for extreme condition reliability.
- Includes a comprehensive kit with smoke/heat detector, auxiliary relay, and sounder.
- Requires a robust 24 VDC power supply for continuous operation.
- Connects easily to NMEA 2000® networks via the Maretron SIM100 module (sold separately).
- Provides advanced warning to mitigate potential fire damage and enhance vessel safety.

Common Concerns Answered
Does this kit include everything needed for NMEA 2000® connectivity?
The Maretron High-Temperature Smoke/Heat Detector Kit includes the detector, auxiliary relay, and sounder, but requires the separate purchase of the Maretron SIM100 Switch Indicator Module for full NMEA 2000® network integration. This ensures a robust and reliable connection to your vessel's existing network.
Is this detector suitable for standard engine room temperatures?
Absolutely. This detector is specifically designed for high-temperature marine environments, operating reliably between -25°C (-13°F) and +70°C (158°F), far exceeding the requirements for most standard engine rooms and providing enhanced safety margins.
How does the Maretron kit compare in cost to simpler alarms?
While the initial investment for this NMEA 2000® integrated kit is higher than basic standalone alarms, the advanced features, comprehensive detection capabilities (smoke and heat), and seamless network integration provide superior long-term value and critical safety benefits for serious mariners.
