labkotec, For High Liquid Level, Oil and Sludge layer detection

LCJ1-SK4 EU Declaration of Conformity

UK Declaration of Conformity

IECEx Certificate

OMS-1 alarm device is specially designed for oil separators. It indicates when it is time to empty the oil separator, which prevents harmful hydrocarbon emissions from being released into to the sewer system.

OMS-1 is an alarm system designed to monitor the oil layer thickness in an oil separator. The system comprises the OMS-1 control unit, OMS sensor, and a cable joint.

The OMS sensor is installed inside the light liquid storage chamber and triggers an alarm when the oil layer reaches a preset level. Typically, the sensor is immersed in water, and its operation is based on measuring electrical conductivity—water conducts electricity much better than oil.

Since oil separators are considered potentially explosive (Ex) areas, the OMS-1 sensor can be installed in zone 0, 1, or 2, where flammable gases may be present. However, the control unit must be installed in a safe, non-hazardous area.

Benefits

24/7 monitoring

Continuous oil layer detection ensures timely maintenance and helps avoid environmental damage.

Environmental protection

Prevents oil overflow and leakage, safeguarding natural resources and supporting sustainability goals.

Certified for safety and compliance

OMS-1 oil separator alarm is fully compliant with EN 858-1 & 2, ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, IECEx, and UKEX — safe for use in explosive atmospheres.

Quick installation & remote monitoring

Fast setup with remote access capabilities for efficient system management and reduced manual checks.

Robust & reliable performance

Engineered to meet demanding conditions, OMS-1 features a durable design that complies with PPG3 and industry standards.

Optimised for small class II separators

OMS-1 oil separator alarm is ideal for compact systems.
