Deck Alarm Cabinet Plus

The GUARD LEVEL® Deck Alarm Cabinet Plus (DAC+)  is  a  durable  solar-powered  monitor  and  alarm  panel.  It forms  the  building  block  for  our  SMARTBARGE®  integration  and  other  inventory  control  systems.

The DAC+’s rugged design  is  ideal  for  open  deck  mounting  onboard  river  and  coastal  tank  barges. The DAC+ has Independent High Level (HL) and Overfill Level (HHL) alarms  for  up  to  12  tanks. This makes it a match for land-based tank batteries or other remote locations when power is not easily accessible.

Add a  PLC  (programmable  logic  controller)  capability  and  the  DAC+  becomes  a  data  collection  central  unit  for  any  4-20mA/HART  type  of  sensor. This includes level,  temperature,  pressure, and oxygen levels. Furthermore, the PLC option can communicate with a remote explosion-proof display, like our GUARD  LEVEL®  MTDE  (Multifunction  Tank  Display  Extension).

Not only can it collect data, it can also transmit data and collect associated alarms when you set up a wireless modem. This includes information such as time stamp, GPS location and system status. Status readings include battery percentage, solar panel voltage and solar charge for all power sources, and DAC+ total system draw. Additionally, a wireless transmission can be conveniently set for fixed intervals, events or GPS driven.

Additional hardware can be added, allowing the DAC+ to connect to Bergan Connect. With Bergan Connect, the DAC+ transmits alarm status, alarm history, and vessel location to the Bergan Connect dashboard. This dashboard is accessible from any device with an internet connection. Our hardware is also available in our Deck Alarm Cabinet or Simple Deck Alarm Cabinet.
