Upgraded Oil Leak Detection


We have upgraded our Oil Leak Detection Systems. With our enhanced technology, each zone can now accommodate up to two sensors, providing unparalleled accuracy and coverage.

The following Oil Leak Detectors have been improved:

OIL LEAK DETECTION ALARM 1 OR 2 ZONES – TYPE ODS2-3

OIL LEAK DETECTOR 3 OR 4 ZONES – TYPE ODS4-3

OPTICAL LEAK ALARM – TYPE OLS2-3

Empower yourself with the flexibility of up to two Spot Probes per zone. This will allow you to tailor the leak detection system to perfectly match your specific needs.

Our cutting-edge optical leak sensors surpass traditional oil leak detection cables, providing a range of unparalleled advantages. Firstly, users can effortlessly reset the sensors by simply wiping the sensing bulb once a leak is detected, ensuring convenient reusability for subsequent incidents. In contrast, oil detection cables become non-functional upon detecting oil, leading to the costly necessity of complete replacements. Therefore, the use of our advanced optical leak sensors not only offers superior performance but also eliminates the financial burden associated with frequent cable replacements.

Disadvantages of using Oil Detection Cable

  1. Delayed Activation: Extensive tests have revealed that oil detection cable can take a long time to detect leaks. Depending on the liquid volume and leak conditions these can be: Gasoline: 3-6 minutes; Diesel Oil: 25-35 minutes; Jet Fuels: 10-20 minutes. Our upgraded system offers significantly faster detection times, ensuring faster response to potential hazards.
  2. Limited Re-usability: Traditional oil detection cables suffer from limited re-usability as they become useless once oil is detected, requiring complete replacement. In contrast, our optical leak sensors can be easily reset, enabling cost reduction and minimizing downtime.
  3. Maintenance Challenges: Accidental oil spills on the cable by maintenance staff can be costly, as it requires replacing the entire cable. Our upgraded sensors eliminate this concern, mitigating unnecessary expenses.
  4. Cost-Effectiveness: Purchasing oil detection cable can be expensive, with prices reaching over £100 per meter. However, by opting for our upgraded system, you can enjoy a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality.

Benefits of using CMR Electrical Optical Probes:

  • Accurate, fast response, high reliability, long life
  • Easily cleaned after contact with a chemical/liquid.
  • Well-suited for applications with limited space requirements.
  • Low cost
  • Easy to install
  • Compatible with wide range of fluids & chemicals
  • Easy to interface with customer equipment
