New Scanning Pyrometer

For Diesel Temperatures —Literature Available

National Marine Service has in- troduced a scanning pyrometer, which is a basic tool to help the operating engineer maintain full power and fuel economy while minimizing downtime by scanning diesel engine cylinder tempera- tures automatically. This scan- ning pyrometer can be used for single- or twin-engine installa- tions, and can display up to 40 individual zone temperatures.

Zone enable xdisable selection al- lows continuous use of the sys- tem even when one thermocouple has failed. Isolated alarm outputs are available for high tempera- ture and temperature deviation.

On-site programming of zones enabled, alarm limits, thermo- couple type, scan time, second en- gine scan, and degrees centigrade or Fahrenheit is standard. Sim- ple 2-wire, party line remote dis- plays are optional. The National

Marine automatic scanning py- rometer meets the reduced engine room manning regulatory body requirements for diesel cylinder temperature monitoring.
