OPW CIVACON 8870E Overfill Prevention and Ground Verification Controller
The OPW CIVACON 8870E Overfill Prevention and Ground Verification Controller is designed for API bottom loading applications on single and multi-compartment tank trucks at storage depots.
In the event of a possible overfill situation the 8870E output relay sends a signal to a Terminal Automation System, control valve or pump to shut-down the loading operation.
Should proper grounding not be maintained a non-permissive signal, generated by the 8870E, interrupts the loading process immediately. This remote shutdown ability in combination with its enhanced features makes the 8870E the best fail-safe rack monitor available to the industry today.
EN13922/ATEX/IECEX/QPS/SIL1+2 compliant.
