Introduction

Tank trailers featuring overfill prevention monitors are
often restricted to having the monitor installed in select
positions on the trailer due to sensor cabling. The
limited install locations may not cater to the driver or
rack operator and restrict the trailer from use in certain
situations. The FT295 serves as a remote view of the
onboard monitor’s loading permit state, offering greater
flexibility and functionality than a standalone monitor.

In addition to offering a secondary location to view the
onboard monitor’s permit state, the FT295 also
features an alarm to notify driver or rack operators
when a monitor enters a non permissive state.

It is common that trailer overfill protection systems
require the onboard monitor’s relay output contacts to
control external devices such as lights, motors, or
solenoids. The current or voltage rating of the
monitor’s output relay may not be sufficient to control
these devices directly. In these cases the FT295 can
be used as a pass through device effectively raising
the limitations of the monitor’s output relay. The FT295
relay contacts are suitable for switching a heavy load.
