What Is a Marine Controller?

A marine controller is a central unit that monitors and manages the operation of ventilation components—such as fans, dampers, fire sensors, and gas detection systems. It automates system responses, logs data, and gives crews manual or remote control.

Why Control Matters

In critical environments like ships and offshore platforms, a well-managed ventilation system saves power and reduces equipment failures. Our controllers:

  • Automate airflow based on temperature and pressure
  • Trigger fire dampers, alarms, and shut-off sequences
  • Support energy efficiency by adjusting fan speeds 
  • Log performance data for maintenance and compliance

Built for Marine Performance

Designed for harsh conditions and critical systems, our controllers are built to perform under pressure:

  • IP-rated enclosures for water and dust protection
  • Vibration and shock-resistant 
  • Compatible with DC and AC marine systems
  • Available with touchscreens, LEDs, or remote access interfaces
  • Programmable for failsafe sequences and emergency overrides

Analogue Controllers

Simple, rugged, and reliable. Air Defence’s analogue controllers use hardwired inputs and outputs to manage fans, dampers, and alarms in real time. Ideal for vessels where durability and straightforward operation matter most

  • Easy to install and maintain
  • Works with standard marine sensors and switches
  • Custom designed to suit your requirements and aesthetic
