Florida Approval

Sensorcomm carries both containment and external monitoring approvals in the State of Florida.

• No False Alarms
  The systems uses a hydrocarbon specific sensor which alarms only when the hydrocarbon concentration around it reaches a "trip" threshold. When this threshold is reached, current flows on specific cables located INSIDE of the pressure-tight jacket and only this current flow will cause the alarm module to report a leak. This means that only actual hydrocarbon exposure or physical damage to the sensor will cause the module to report a leak. Environmental factors such as water, corrosion and age cannot cause the alarm module to falsely report a leak. Third party EPA testing indicates a 100% detection accuracy and a 0% false alarm rate.
  

• No Annual Maintenance Expense
  Each electronic module will require a battery replacement (two of AA alkaline battery per module) every year. The electronic module is supplied in a NEMA 4X enclosure and the sensor is unaffected by environmental factors. "Maintenance" of the system should, for all practical purposes, be NONE.

• No Annual Monitoring Expense
  None. The monitoring process is self-contained and requires no service fees, yearly service contracts, telecommunications costs, or sample analysis costs. The integrity of the SENSORCOMM system can itself be tested at whatever interval is deemed appropriate by activating the "Push to Test" button on the electronic module. Additionally, a vapor sample can be drawn at the vapor sample port (also located on the face of the alarm module) whenever it is needed. This work can be scheduled by the facility maintenance personnel to be done on their daily walk-through or on their scheduled inspections.

• No Electrical Hook-up Expense
  The system is battery driven and requires NO electrical hook-up or electrical installation. Moreover, there is no hook-up or installation for the visual alert system. For most sites, the elimination of these two installations represents a significant first-cost savings. No Testing Downtime There is NO testing down time for the system. Monitoring is continuous without process interruption. Moreoever, sensor installation (and removal), battery changing and vapor sampling do not require tank down time.
  

• Can be used in areas where background contamination exists*
  The SENSORCOMM system can be installed at sites where "old contamination" exists as long as vapor concentrations in the soil are below 25,000 ppm and hydrocarbon concentrations in the ground water are below 20,000 ppm. (* some limitations apply)
