CIVACON OPTIC RACK MONITOR MODEL 8130 FOR BOTTOM & TOP LOADING Well-suited for bottom-loading applications with vehicles outfitted with Optic sensors , and also suited for overfill protection while top-loading railcars or tank trucks . Generates a unique , pulsed — and intrinsically safe — electrical signal that is transmitted to the sensors via a coiled cord and optic-format plug . When sensors on the transport are dry a signal is returned to the monitor . If the signal meets pre-determined characteristics the monitor goes to a “ permissive ” state , which changes the status light on the front of the 8100 Series Optic Rack Monitor from red (“ non-permissive ”) to green (“ permissive ”). If the sensor becomes wet , the relay is opened and the status light changes from green to red ( non-permissive ), shutting down the loading process . The Model 8130 Optic Monitor with Ground Verification includes displayed status of the optic sensor (“ permissive ” or “ non-permissive ”) and mode of operation . Civacon – www . civacon . com
