Leak detection system

Tyco Thermal Controls’ TT-Flasher visual alarm is included as a low-cost, entry-level system for tank farms in its portfolio of TraceTek fuel leak detection systems for hazardous areas. This flashing fuel spill alert meets the need of operators who conduct regular on-site inspections at their facilities and for whom a visual alert is considered sufficient to gain quick attention. TT-Flasher can be linked to TraceTek leak detection cable and fast acting fuel sensor probes to provide first level alarm compliance or as a temporary alerting solution while enhanced systems for leak detection, location, monitoring and alarms are being specified for permanent installation. Quick and inexpensive to install, the intrinsically safe, battery operated TT-Flasher activates when a leak is detected and emits a low energy warning signal designed to attract attention during walk/or drive-through inspections. It draws less current than the self-discharge rate of the batteries, which have a two-year life span. When the Flasher alert is triggered by a leak or a low battery alarm, it will continue to flash for at least 30 days unless turned off. For more information, visit www.tracetek.com.
