Otto Fuel Monitor

enlarge

  • Detection of Otto fuel using established IMS technology
  • Fixed mode instrument with single control button and liquid crystal display
  • Developed originally for the UK Navy

      The OFM is a robust, hand held, fixed mode instrument designed to detect otto fuel vapours.  The liquid crystal display indicates the level and concentration of vapour present in a contaminated environment.

      A sturdy environmental carrying case is provided for the storage and transportation of the monitor.  The case forms a sealed enclosure with a pressure relief valve to allow for extreme atmospheric changes.  This enables the pressure inside and out to be equalised before opening.

      The OFM's are in service with several navies worldwide. The equipment is utilised in the torpedo handling areas on submarines, armament depots and on surface ships.

      The detector operates using a 6V nickel Cadmium battery or a 115V or 230V mains power supply unit.
