Understanding the principle of measurement being used on the FOCAS 2000 model

The FOCAS-2000 utilizes a full optical continuous measuring method, where the light received by multiple optical elements is analyzed by the CPU and software. This allows for a precise and instant calculation of changes in oil type, concentration, and patterns due to mixed foreign substances.

As a result, the alarm can accurately measure and monitor oil concentration in real-time, providing a rapid response to any changes.

Its sophisticated detection system is calibrated to identify oil concentrations, signaling an alarm if levels exceed 15 parts per million (ppm). This technology is pivotal for vessels to regulate their bilge water content, thereby adhering to strict environmental regulations and avoiding potential non-compliance penalties.

Key Features of the 15ppm Bilge Alarm

Automatic operation method that is synchronized with the operation of an oil separator or pump, using sample water pressure
The automatic washing function of the detection unit eliminates the need for manual washing, reducing the amount of manual labor required.
The device is equipped with error code indications and stain indications on the detection unit, making maintenance and inspection easier. This high-maintainability structure ensures efficient upkeep of the product.
Operation records, including trouble alarms, can be saved in a memory card and reviewed as needed.
The product features a double safety method for alarms. An alarm is triggered when the oil concentration exceeds 15 ppm, or when there is a defect in the sample water or the instrument itself.
The detecting part (sensor) can be replaced separately, and calibration is recommended every five years for optimal performance.
