The NEW CTS Multi-Channel Fuel Tank Alarm Box – Redesigned with the Installer in Mind

The CTS multi-channel fuel tank alarm is especially recognised on refuelling tanks in a number of industries including haulage, construction, and agriculture, as well as on generator diesel tanks, and works by accurately detecting and alerting tank owners of a high or low fuel level in their fuel tanks, or to warn them of presence of fluid in the bund. This year, the CTS Fuel Tank Level Alarm box has been redesigned by our inhouse team, to make it even easier for tank manufacturers and engineers to install and provide some additions features for the user.

It benefits from the same functionality that the market knows and loves, but now has external mounting lugs for easier installation without the need to open up the box until it is being wired on site, as well as incorporating captive screws on the enclosure lid to prevent installers from accidentally dropping and losing them inside the bund.

The tank level alarm box now has a raised sounder on the front of the alarm for an increased sound range and to prevent water ingress. A rain drip guard now protects the decal for added protection from wet weather, allowing water to run off easily, improving visibility of the light up panel.

Cable gland positioning has been improved, with 7 cable glands on the bottom of the box with a larger gland for easy fitting of a 1.5mm2 mains cable. Our alarms are now also supplied with gland plugs for any unused cable glands to stop water from entering the enclosure.

The CTS Fuel Tank Alarm still has three functions; to detect and warn of a tank overfill, to alert of a high or low level of fuel, and to warn tank owners if there is a leak inside the bund. Each can be customised based upon the user's requirements and fuel tank needs.

Aside from the new features, the top mounted flashing orange strobe, weatherproof IP55 rating, test and mute functions and automatic reversed float logic for low channels, remain as features of this industry recognised alarm. There are a number of different variations you can choose from depending upon your requirements, from alarm box only, to options with relay/s for connecting external equipment such as gauges or building management systems, or for using as a pump on/off control.

All of our fuel tank alarm range is designed with inhouse expertise and supplied directly from our Midlands based warehouse in Sutton Coldfield. If you would like more information on our alarm range, contact the sales team on 0121 351 4445.
