GASSAS 06-2004 is a permanent water ingress detection system for bulk carriers fully type approved in accordance with SOLAS XII Regulation 12, IACS UR S24, IMO performance standard for water level
detectors & IACS UI SC180. The system comprises of a central control and alarm panel interfacing with intrinsically safe water level detectors installed in each compartment. The system is designed
for 115-230V AC main power and 24V DC emergency power supply. Emergency power supply is from vessel's emergency source of electrical power. The alarm panel has been located on the bridge. And for
not to be interface with the night vision, the brightness of the visual alarms and indicators can be adjusted by a switch. The sensor is a capacitive proximity switch. The sensor is based on
capacitive principal and will work in any cargo onboard a bulk carrier. The sensor is for use all cargo holds, Fore Peak Tank and Bosun Store The sensor has been constructed and tested according to
IMO APPLICATION GUIDELINE valid for sensors used for this purpose. Respective alarm channels on the alarm panel have a manual override switch. The switch is to be operated when the ForePeak Tank is
used for ballast in order to avoid unnecessary alarms. Audible and visual alarms are present in the navigation bridge for all corgo holds (pre-alarm and main alarm) any ballast tank forward of the
collision bulkhead and any dry or void space any part of which extends forward of the foremost cargo hold. In addition to cargo hold alarms the system also indicates and gives alarm when there is
an open circuit, short circuit, broken wire, earth fault in the water ingress sensor or water ingress sensors cable, processor fault or power fault occurs or if main power supply or emergency power
supply should fail. For the audible alarms there are 2 types. One for pre-alarm (intermittent beeping) one for main alarm (continuously beeping). And also for fault alarms there is an audible alarm
too. There are alarm relays for; upper level alarm , low level alarm , broken wire alarm and short circuit alarm. With potential free contacts for external alarm in addition to 24V DC outputs for
external alarm as loop failure, power/system failure, lights and horns. The system can be delivered for console mounting or with alarm panel and electronics in one cabinet.
