Tank Truck Level Remote Control System
For safe and efficient loading and unloading of tank trucks in EX and non-EX Zones
Level Remote Control - Deadman of SecuTech Austria increases the effectiveness of tank trucks, as effective loading and delivery process saves time.
The System is easy-to-use, since all Remote Control functions are integrated into a single device.
It is provided with equipment for either EX- or non-EX Zones, depending on the customer's needs.
Wireless System - works with 433 MHz radio frequency between amplifier and system.
The dead-man system LRC (Level Remote Control) can be used for loading and unloading of all types of tank trucks, for EX- or non-EX applications, independent from the product in the tank (fuel, diesel, LPG, chemicals, technical gases, powder, ammonia, jet-fuel, etc.).
The system can be used with customer-specific dead-man times. The most used dead-man times are 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes or 4 minutes. Any other dead-man time as per customer specification can be programmed.
The system can be installed stationary (loading tank truck facilities) or mobile, at the tank truck (unloading to customer's tanks).
On starting the loading or unloading procedure, the operator has to activate the deadman (key combination on the keyboard). Then, the dead-man time is starting, for example: 30 seconds. On the non-EX device, the operator can see the left deadman-time on the display.
Operator needs to confirm by pressing a button on the display, and then the dead-man time starts again. If the operator does not confirm during the dead-man time count-down, he will get a signal after 20 seconds (EX-device: peep-tone / non-EX device: flashing display) for 10 seconds. When the operator is not confirming by pressing a button on the display during the last 10 seconds, the complete process is automatically stopped.
During the running process, the additional remote control activated functions can be used (for example: rotational speed control up/down, Motor or Pump start/stop, emergency stop).
Emergency stop is always possible on the Remote Control during operation. The system can be used as a safety system and overfill-prevention.
System Equipment
The systems are fail-safe-systems that means they are always on the safe side and stop procedure of loading or unloading immediately if something is not proper within the system itself (for example: cable break between LRC-Charger and LRC-Receiver, weak or fall-down of radio signals, etc.).
The radio-signals are very stable, narrow-banded and unique and free from interferences and disturbances from outside. The systems are tuned together so that systems next to each other do not interfere. The radio-range is up to 300 m.
