An industry recognised range of tank alarms, as standard the overfill alarm is available as either a 230v mains or 9v battery-operated device.
Housed within a polycarbonate weatherproof enclosure both versions are suitable for installation in exposed locations.
This variant of the CTS overfill alarm is designed for use with high viscosity oils where a conventional float switch will not function correctly. Engine oils, gear oils and waste cooking oils are compatible with this model.
Suitable for offset filling and remote locations where the tank vent cannot be seen from the fill point.
The principle of operation is simple, a buoyancy sensor is suspended through a fitting at the top of the storage tank and a weight is clipped to the cable at a suitable position. When the level rises the tubular float rises into the vertical position and a sealed ball bearing moves to trigger the contacts. The depth of the switch can be adjusted to suit the requirements of each specific application.
Please note that this type of high viscosity float switch requires a greater offset than that which a conventional float switch would use.
This sensor is connected to the alarm enclosure via a chemically resistant PVC cable. The cable length is 5m and is wired directly into the tank alarm panel.
The alarm is easy to install and simple to operate. A test function is installed to ensure the device is operational before filling.
An 8 Amp rated volt free contact output is included which is suitable for remote signalling or valve closure.
