What makes this ALARM the right choice?
ECONOMY BUND ALARM
The Economy Bund Alarm is an entry level, battery powered bunded fuel tank alarm system designed to alert of the presence of fluid between the inner tank and its outer bund. Essentially, its purpose is to detect and warn that either the inner tank has ruptured and is leaking, or that there is excess rain water within the tank's bund. This is a simple and cost effective solution if only a bund alert is required, and the customer is not concerned with being warned of a tank level scenario. Upon activation, a red LED will flash and a 90db alarm will sound to warn the user that the tank's bund needs to be cleared and checked whether there is a leak.
This fuel tank alarm, which comes in a weatherproof enclosure, features a test button that will activate the sounder to check the battery and a mute button to silence the sounder. Thanks to its simple operation, the battery will last in excess of 72 hours in full alarm mode, and approximately 2 years when in standby, making it ideal for sites that aren't always manned.
