9 REASONS WHY you should consider this monitor for any size vessel.

We re talking about TUGMONITOR® Series 70 safety watch and control systems. 1. Earlier warning. En- gine sensors are reliably accurate, detecting real trouble promptly to prevent damage and downtime. 2. No false alarms. Here's why: • Normal variations are dis- carded by Time Average

Monitoring which looks only at the operating average. • Normal conditions such as engine start-stop do not cause false alarms be- cause alarm circuits have delayed speed-actuated arming., 3. No "lost" alarms. Any alarmed condition is locked on the control panel until manually reset, even though other conditions change. (Engine shutdown, for example.) 4. One location for all monitoring. One glance at the Central Information Control Panel tells where a problem is. Optional remote alarm or control stations may be placed where desired. 5. Engine protection at all speeds. That's because oil pressures and other criteria that regulate speed are monitored at different levels for high and low speeds—not just one level that provides low speed protection only.

For lower cost than a custom-built system you get a superior quality, modular design system tailored to your vessel. As part of the modular concept you have a choice of several options ranging from automatic gen- erator transfer to an engine room event logger. TUG-

MONITOR system offers proven protection for your crew, vessel and investment. Get more facts. Write us, or.. we're just a phone call away. (314) 968-4770.

System 6* Easy crew maintenance.

A complete operational test of all electronics can be done from a single front panel switch. If a fault is detected, the panel is opened from the front and, in most cases, the repair is made by replacing a plug-in printed circuit board. 7. The system is self-polic- ing. It continually checks itself for broken wires, PC.B. failures and improper alarm arming. 8. Extended component life.

This is assured by closely reg- ulated power supply with a built-in, stand-by battery charger. 9. Fleet proven reliability.

National Marine's fifty years of operating experience with en- gine functions goes into the

TUGMONITOR system. Over 300 TUGMONITOR systems are operating now.

Reduced manning levels permitted with options of automatic and remote controls.

CERTIFIED MANNING LEVELS. Vessels subject to U S. Coast Guard, American Bureau of Shipping and/or Canadian

Board of Steamship Inspection manning regulations require specific monitoring and control functions to permit reduc- tion of engine room manning levels. The TUGMONITOR building block design has been utilized to meet these require- ments, even for unattended machinery spaces. /
