Specificity Results:
Manufacturer
and evaluator claim sensors will respond to any liquid.Manufacturer's
Specifications:
Manufacturer states
that system requires no calibration.Comments:
Sensors
are reusable.
Model 522 Remote Monitoring System:
Evaluation indicates that when threshold level of Model
406 Liquid Level Sensor was reached, Model 522 Remote Monitoring
System produced (1) an audible and visual alarm and (2) an
output signal that was recognized by a Veeder-Root TLS-350
Monitoring System.
The TLS-350 Monitoring System produced an alarm within 10
seconds, and displayed and printed a notice of alarm and alarm
time.
Manufacturer states that the output signal produced by Model
522 Remote Monitoring System can be recognized by other monitoring
systems designed to detect this output signal.
Model 522 Remote Monitoring System was evaluated only using
the Veeder-Root TLS-350 Monitoring System.
Model 522T Monitoring System:
Evaluation indicates that when threshold level of Model
406 Liquid Level Sensor was reached, Model 522T Monitoring
System will generate a visual (LCD readout and LED “alarm”
lamp) and audible alarm and also open up to three normally
closed relay contacts.
By using a Model 522R Relay, the system can use these normally
closed relay contacts to control power to turbine pumps. Alternatively,
the normally closed relay contacts can be used to send fuel
alarm information to a Veeder-Root TLS-350 for both positive
shutdown and additional alarm notification (such as a printout
showing the date and time that a release has occurred).
