Insulation deterioration is inevitable, but but motor failure doesn't have to be. MSE

MotoSafe and FailSafe systems continu- ously monitor insulation for impending failure while the motor is idle.

These field-proven devices will pay for themselves by improving your operating efficiency. In most cases, savings from the first alarm alone will offset the entire cost of the system. • Reduce the expense of stocking spare motors • Lower maintenance costs • Improve efficiency • Reduce expensive downtime • Extend motor life

Hermont Marine Inc.

Specializing in pollution abate ment, engine efficiency and moni toring, Hermont Marine Inc. sup plies a range of marine products and services to the North

American marine industry. The company offers annual calibration of the bilge alarms and a complete line of monitoring and alarm sys- tems, oil mist detectors, viscome- ters and electronic engine indica- tors.

The PREMET XL electronic engine indicator assists owners in balancing the engine and optimiz- ing output while minimizing fuel consumption.

Condition monitoring can then be done on-line with an exhaust gas temperature monitoring sys- tem. Drifts from cylinder outputs show up on the temperature devia- tions.

The causes for these engine changes can then be identified with the use of the PREMET XL engine indicator without any dis- assembly of the engine.

Currently, Hermont is engaged in obtaining ISO 9000 certifica- tion.
