Low Maintenance: Utilizes a solid-state sensor with no moving parts, and includes a control module with a self-diagnostic test and a 2-year warranty.
Easy Installation: Suitable for single or twin-engine setups, with pre-wired sensors and a remote panel for helm mounting.
Compatibility: Can be retrofitted to existing Tides Marine SureSeal units and supports 12V and 24V DC operations.
Simple Operation: Features a green ‘OK’ light, a RESET button, and memory to reactivate alarms after power interruptions.

System Components

Control module with self-diagnostic capabilities.
One sensor for single-engine systems, two for twin-engine systems.
Remote panel for alarm indication.

Technical Specifications

Power Supply: 12V or 24V DC.
Temperature Sensor: PT1000, with alarm activation at 60°C and a secondary alarm at 80°C.
Output: Optional siren and LED remote module with specific current limits.
Dimensions: Control panel (80x95x50 mm), Remote panel (60x65x30 mm).

Installation and Operation

Mount the module on a flat, dry surface in the engine room.
