Leakwise - Model PS-220 -Analog Controller
PS-220 Analog Leakwise Controller is a power supply and signal processor that interfaces with a single Leakwise ID-220 Series Sensor to report hydrocarbons spill/leak alerts, including layer buildup and thickness, to users via outputs for local or remote reporting. PS-220 has well-proven reliability and is cost-effective for a basic monitoring system. It can be AC or DC line powered.
Typical PS-220 and Leakwise ID-220 Series Sensor applications include oil spill/leak monitoring in storage tank sumps, discharge from wastewater treatment, hydrocarbon pipeline pumping stations, hydroelectric and fossil fuel power plants, transformer substations, groundwater monitoring wells, remediation sites, etc.
- Low-power consumption
- Built-in self-diagnostics of the controller and the sensor
- Simple calibration procedure
- Adjustable sensitivity of oil detection with two alarm points
The PS-220 supplies stabilized 12 VDC for powering the sensor. The returned current signal from the sensor is filtered and amplified. Then the signal is compared to two adjustable alarm set-points to determine the status that the sensor reports: Water, Oil, High-Oil or Air, depending on the application. There are two relay outputs with dry contacts for reporting the status. An additional fail-safe operated relay reports sensor or power failure. Turning on a low-pass filter eliminates false alarms in applications with turbulent water. An optional 4-20 mA output reports oil layer thickness. An optional Bar-Graph visualizes the oil layer thickness.
