Racal-Decca Launches New

Product, Announces

Contract At EurpPort

Racal-Decca Marine shared two significant announcements with the industry at thelEuroPort exhi- bition in Amsterdam last month: the launch of its new dual capabil- ity ChartMaster ana the selection of its ISIS (Intejg&ted Ship

Instrumentation System) product for a Canadian Fisheries vessel.

The company introduced an electronic charting system which is capable of displaying raster ARCS charts from the U.K. Hydrographic

Office and vectorized charts. The new dual capability ChartMaster is designed to enable users to cre- ate electronic chart portfolios using a combination of chart types according to their operational availabili- ty.

The ability to show ARCS charts enables users to operate with charts from an approved source.

The vectorized chart capabiltiy opens the door for ChartMaster systems with an upgrade path towards ECDIS when the stan- dards have been finalized. The

ChartMaster is available with a 20-in. screen, and can be installed as a stand-alone product or as part 5 p£ of Llm Ruitul-Decca M1RANS 2000 or 4000 series integrated naviga- tion system.

The company also announced that an ISIS 250 Master Series alarm, monitoring and control sys- tem has been retro-fitted aboard the survey vessel CSS Parizeau, which is operated by the Canadian

Department of Fisheries and

Oceans.

The installation is the first application of the new Master

Series in Canada, and is being used to provide comprehensive monitoring of the ship's twin Deutz eight-cylinder engine, its genera- tors and ancillary equipment.

Make Powerful Monatomic Liquid Chlorine Bleach

From Water (H2O) and Salt (NaCI) or Plain Sea Water for 3 Cents per Gallon

FAST * PORTABLE * SAFE * SIMPLE * ECONOMICAL * EASY TO OPERATE

CORD 10 FT (3M) LONG CHL0R0MATIC Model 300 ]

CELL 7" X 10" (18 X 30 cm)

The sole purpose of this equipment is to separate water (H20) and salt (NaCI). Due to the nature of our multipatented anodes, powerful oxidants such as ozone and hydroxyl radicals are produced. This is not possible with other chlorine generators. The monatomic chlorine and oxygen produced is much safer than commercially available chlorines, and more effective in bleaching, sterilizing (not just disinfecting) and oxidizing. Model 300 also produces small amounts of caustic soda which acts as a stabilizing agent. To extend its shelf life, additional stabilizing agents may be added. For high purity chlorine, use distilled water and chemically pure NaCI.

HOW TO OPERATE MODEL 300:

Fill the plastic tank with 50 gallons (400 L) of water. Add from 1 to 10% industrial grade salt (NaCI). Immerse the cell into the saline mixture as illustrated. Activate the DC power supply. To increase the monatomic chlorine concentration (measured in ppm or mg/L) increase the amount of salt and the time of operation, until all of the salt has been electrolyzed. Chlorine concentration can be into the thousandths.

MAINTENANCE:

Eventually a white crusty layer of calcium will form upon the perforated electrode. To dissolve the calcium, simply immerse the cell into a 35% concentration of hydrochloric acid (HCI). In most cases, the procedure only takes a few minutes.

Model 300 is our small production model. We manufacture ten other models with capacities up to 50,000 gallons (200 M3) per day.
