When One is Greater than Six: BJE's MK6 Tank Alarm

The engineers at BJE Lube and Oil Products, a Division of Husky Corporation, are at it again. Their latest innovation is a tank alarm that monitors up to six above ground storage tanks containing oil, waste oil, diesel fuel, antifreeze, water and other fluids with a high flash point.The new product is called the MK6 Tank Alarm which combines the functionality of six BJE 007 Tank Alarms into one unit.

The MK6 solves a problem that arises when one 007 Tank Alarm is monitoring several tanks at once. The problem with that is when the 007 alarm goes off, there is no way to know which of the tanks in that single circuit is having an issue. 

MK6 Tank Alarm: High/low tank alarm for use with oil, waste oil, diesel fuel, antifreeze, water, and other fluids with a high flash point.

With the MK6 there are six indicator lights on the unit, each that operates on its own individual circuit. There is also space for descriptive labels about the tank that is operating on a particular circuit. When a tank goes into an alarm, the particular indicator light flashes, in addition to the unit's strobe and siren. The combination means the problematic tank can be dealt with much more rapidly.

The MK6 retains the same key functionality of the 007, including UL Buna Sensor probes and solenoid valves. The MK6 is capable of driving a solenoid valve for each tank being monitored. The MK6 does have a different circuit board that contains more logic. But it all is contained in the same housing, with the same dimensions, as the 007 tank alarm.

The system is designed for facilities that are monitoring several tanks at the same time, but without the need to have an individual 007 monitoring each tank. And it solves the classic problem that arises when more than one tank is being watched by a single monitor.

The MK6 is a featured product for BJE at the annual PEI Convention at the NACS Show in Atlanta. And you can always contact BJE directly to learn more at 1-800-325-3558.
