TRANSPORT “PASSIVE” SYSTEM AUTOMATIC LEAK DETECTION
Model # LDS 60
A fully automatic leak detection system for propane and anhydrous ammonia transports. This system has been designed & tested by Design Certified Engineers to meet the compliance requirements of U.S. HM225A and 
Canadian B620 regulations. The low powered intrinsically safe control unit continually monitors all piping and hose assemblies during the off-loading or loading process. A failed pipe, or hose separation will cause the tank’s internal valve to close instantly and sound an audible air-horn alarm. A simple “reset” button returns the unit to the monitoring state.
The BASE Safeguard passive system incorporates a functional “Test” button as a way to determine the units readiness. This system is easy to install and requires no calibration, adjustment or auxiliary controls. It turns on automatically by opening the internal valve and turns off when the valve is closed. Drivers do not have to activate it or monitor it. Options include multi-pipe or trailer sensors, automatic truck engine or PTO shut-down, and self contained “Power Pack” for system operation with no truck power supply.
