DS-Kongsberg-High Level Alarm Sensor GL-7A

The GL-7/NL-4 system monitors liquid levels in ship cargo tanks. It uses GL-7A level switches made of acid resistant steel and Teflon to detect the 95% and 98% liquid levels. When liquid reaches these levels, the NL-4 monitoring panel activates visual and audible alarms. The system meets IMO requirements for cargo tank overfill protection and has no moving parts for reliable monitoring in conducting or non-conducting liquids.
