Overfill Alarm Battery Operated

Overfill Alarm Battery Operated.

Unlike most compact alarms on the market today it’s a constant monitoring alarm & not a “push to test” type.

The system consists of a weighted float switch that is connected, with a 3 metre fuel resistant cable, to the weatherproof High-level alarm box containing the visual and audible alarms.  The high-level alarm is designed to provide visual and audible alarms whenever a predetermined level, in a fuel storage tank, is reached.

FEATURES:

• Suitable for heating oil, diesel, biodiesel blends up to B100, lubricants.
• Battery operated (Battery supplied, type PP3 x1).
• Weatherproof to IP65.
• Compact design for use in confined spaces, 90mm square.
• High power alarm sounder 97 db at 1m.
• Flashing light on top of unit.
• Mute button stops the sounder, light still flashes.
• Float switch supplied with 5m cable.
• 2 year battery life, if tested weekly with no alarms.

WARNING NOTES:

• The high level alarm MUST NOT be used to monitor petrol (gasoline) or other flammable liquids.

• It must not be sited adjacent to a petrol dispenser or in any other hazardous zone.
• Installation of this equipment should be carried out by a qualified fuel installation contractor.

OPERATION:

• The PETRO high-level alarm will operate when the float switch is activated by a rising liquid level in the fuel storage tank.
• The alarm will sound as a rising beep every 2.5 seconds and the light will flash simultaneously.
• To silence the alarm, press the green button.
• The light will continue to flash until the liquid level in the tank drops below the level of the float switch.
• The battery will power the PETRO high-level alarm for 72 hours in full alarm mode with both the sounder and light activated.
• Low battery power is indicated by a short beep every 25 seconds.
• When the battery is low and the PETRO high-level alarm is activated.
• The alarm will sound as a rising beep every 5 seconds to conserve power.
• The light will flash every 25 seconds in normal operation (not in alarm mode) to indicate that the PETRO high-level alarm is operating correctly.

FAULT INDICATION:
