Darcy Battery Powered Oil Separator Beacon Alarm with High Oil Probe | PQ-065/PDSET PP/14012/12V

The Battery-Powered GSM Separator Alarm is the ideal solution for both new build sites and retrofit applications where mains power is unavailable or difficult to access. Designed for easy, non-invasive installation, this standalone system eliminates the need for trenching, ducting, or long cable runs—making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional mains-powered alarms.

This advanced interceptor alarm system continuously monitors up to two oil/water separator tanks for the accumulation of oil, silt, or excessive liquid levels. Using high-precision probes, the system helps prevent overflows and environmental contamination by providing early warnings. Equipped with GSM functionality, the unit supports 2-way communication and can send real-time SMS alerts to up to 8 designated users. The alarm system performs an automatic self-check every 15 minutes to assess probe status and battery condition, notifying users immediately of any issues via text message. For on-site checks, users can manually trigger a status update using the integrated button on the front panel. Darcy battery-operated interceptor alarm combines reliable oil level detection, silt and water monitoring, and GSM-based notifications in a single, easy-to-install unit. Whether you're protecting the environment or ensuring regulatory compliance, this unit provides peace of mind and operational efficiency—without the need for external power.
