Junction Box
The QMI Junction Box provides communication and power distribution between the detectors and the central monitoring unit.
Features
- Supports up to twelve detector connections
- Reliable signal transmission
- Simplified installation and maintenance
- Robust marine-grade construction
Fan Unit
The dedicated extraction fan continuously draws crankcase air through the monitoring system to ensure accurate and responsive oil mist measurement.
Advantages
- Consistent air sampling
- Improved detection accuracy
- Faster system response time
- Enhanced monitoring reliability
