Generators are deployed to provide backup power to facilities like server rooms, data centers, cel sites or remote telecom rooms. The generators are mostly powered through fossil fuels.
The IP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU (RS-485) & SNMP based fuel leak cable can detected following fuel types:
HYPERLINK “https://infrasensing.com/sensors/sensor_fuel.asp”
Fuel type Typical response time at 20°C (68°F)
#1 diesel fuel 60 minutes
#2 diesel fuel 120 minutes
Gasoline 12 minutes
JP5 jet fuel 70 minutes
JP8 jet fuel 50 minutes
Jet-A jet fuel 50 minutes
We offer a low cost sensor for monitoring fuel leaks 24×7 from fuel tanks for generators or fuel pipes.
The default cable length is 14ft / 4.5m and can be extended to 100ft / 30 m. The fuel leak sensing cable is designed for single use only.
The fuel leak sensing cable may be used in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D Hazardous Locations. If wiring from module meets requirements for intrinsic safety, sensing cable may be used in Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, D Hazardous Locations (Zone 0 or Zone 1 in Europe).
