FLUID DETECTION SYSTEMS
FLUID SENSORS
When connected to a control circuit the fluid sensor pulses 2-3 times per minute - this reduces power consumption and minimises the risk of false triggers caused by bilge water slopping. Either type of sensor can be used with C-BE10 and C-BE20 and are fully waterproofed. The C-BE05 & C-BE06 incorporate sensor and pump control unit.
C-BE51 OPTICAL SENSOR . If at the moment of a pulse the eye is immersed in fluid, the detector circuitry, by the use of light refraction, acknowledges the presence of liquid and triggers the pump control timer circuit (in the case of connection to C-BE10) or sounds the alarm (in the case of connection to C-BE15 or C-BE20). Supplied with a 10m lead. £84.15 QTY
C-BE55 RESISTIVE SENSOR. Fitted with two probes to allow a small voltage (5Vdc) with an extremely low amperage to pass between them. When the probes are immersed in water the detector circuitry is activated and will trigger the pump control timer circuit (in the case of connection to C-BE20) or sounds the alarm (in the case of connection to C-BE15 or C-BE20). Supplied with a 10m lead. £82.58 QTY
AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMP SWITCHES
Both models comprise a fluid sensor interfaced to a logic control circuit, fully waterproofed, utilising protected power MOSFET switching technology. When the sensor triggers the control circuit, the pump will switch on and will operate for approx. 50secs to 1min. After this cycle the pump will switch off. If, on the next pulse, liquid is still present, the cycle is repeated. By using solid state technology, power consumption and heat generation are reduced to an absolute minimum.   Polarity, over temperature, over current protected.
Supply voltage: 9-28Vdc. Standby current: <8mA.
Switching Capacity: 20amps
Dimensions: 50 x 50 x 30mm. Height incl. fixing: 85mm
Length of connecting cable approx. 330mm.

SOLID STATE PUMP CONTROL UNIT

C-BE10
A low current pump control system with adjustable automatic pump run time from 30-120secs. Sensor to be purchased separately, but the unit is compatible with almost any type of sensor, including C-BE51 Optical Sensor, C-BE55 Resistive Sensor, Bilge Float Switches and Capacitance Type Level Sensors. Manual pump override. Internal, auto resetting, thermally fused. The system is not affected by splashes or slosh to avoid running a dry pump. Rugged solid state design. test facility to check the operation of the sensor.

12/24Vdc. Reverse polarity, transient voltage and short circuit protected. Low current consumption - pulsed sensor outputs reduce current use.
20A max switching current. Panel mounting (bulkhead version can be supplied). Simple terminal block connections provide easy installation. Contact life of bilge float switches is extended as there is no arcing.

Dimensions: 100 x 70 x 40mm

DUAL STATION LEVEL ALARM

C-BE20
An intelligent level alarm unit that can independently monitor liquids to either high or low levels. Can be used for monitoring bilge and compartment levels, holding tanks etc. Independent inputs can be set for either "high" or "low" level fluid monitoring. Sensors to be purchased separately, but the unit is compatible with almost any type of sensor, including C-BE51 Optical Sensor, C-BE55 Resistive Sensor, Bilge Float Switches and Capacitance Type Level Sensors. The system is not affected by splashes or slosh to avoid running a dry pump. Rugged solid state design. Alarm silence facility. Additional remote sounder available.

12/24Vdc. Reverse polarity, transient voltage and short circuit protected. Low current consumption - pulsed sensor outputs reduce current use.

FOUR STATION BILGE ALARM SYSTEM
A system primarily aimed at commercial and work boats, monitors fluid levels in up to four areas simultaneously. When fluid is detected, an alarm mounted on the front panel will sound, and a visual warning lamp will illuminate to indicate the area flooded. The light and alarm will remain on until the fluid has been pumped away. If desired, the alarm can be silenced, but the flood area light will remain on. Should another area become flooded, the alarm will reactivate automatically.

The unit is fitted with a sensor entry gland for up to four C-BE51 sensors and a remote output for alarm or beacon.

Area names such as: "Forward Bilge", "Engine Room" etc. can be engraved on the panel to order.

Supply voltage: 12-32 vdc
Supply cable: 1m.
Power consumption: 12mA.
Temperature range:-20 to +85°C
Enclosure: Grey polystyrol. 130x130x75mm.

FOUR STATION BILGE ALARM PANEL

A versatile alarm panel that can monitor up to 4 independent areas using either specialist sensors or simple switch contacts. This enables the unit to monitor areas such as bilge and tank levels, engine over temperature trips, gas levels, open hatches/doors etc. or any combination. Rugged solid state design.

12 or 24V DC supply. Reverse polarity and transient voltage protected.Very low current consumption; pulsed sensor outputs reduce current use.

4 independent inputs that can be used to monitor various alarm situations.
Compatible with almost ANY sensor including bilge float switches. A sensor is available for monitoring of liquids other than water such as petrol or oil

Built in delays to prevent spurious alarms caused by slosh when liquid monitoring etc

Panel mounting (bulkhead version can be supplied)

SPECIAL PROJECTS

These flood detection units have been made to meet specific customer requirements. The sensors have been tested to 40g shock load and the control boxes to 15g. Working on a variety of voltage inputs, the system will give audible and visual warnings of a flood situation. The control boxes can also be linked to the ship's computer to alert the control room of a flood situation.

Systems can be tailored to meet individual requirements.
