The Saab Automation CPU-286 is a central processor printed circuit board designed for use within the Saab TankRadar system — a radar-based tank level gauging solution widely deployed across commercial shipping and offshore vessels. As the core processing unit of the TankRadar control architecture, this PCB card handles computation and signal coordination essential to accurate, continuous cargo and ballast tank level measurement. Its role within the Marine Control System makes it a critical component for maintaining operational integrity in cargo management and tank gauging operations onboard.
Key Features
✓ Central processor PCB card performing core computation and control functions within the Saab TankRadar tank gauging system.
✓ Referenced under part number 9242159-102 with board marking MK 8784 113-035 and revision 8784011-321 D — confirming a specific hardware revision for traceability during replacement or maintenance.
✓ Designed for integration within Saab TankRadar control cabinets; compatibility with specific system versions and panel configurations subject to confirmation against vessel installation details.
✓ Intended for installation within protected, dry control room or instrument cabinet environments typical of marine automation and cargo control systems.
✓ Replacement of this processor card should be carried out by qualified marine automation engineers; correct board revision matching is recommended to ensure system continuity — verify against existing hardware prior to fitment.
Marine Applications
✓ Cargo tank level gauging and monitoring on tankers, chemical carriers, and product carriers equipped with Saab TankRadar systems.
✓ Ballast tank management systems where TankRadar gauging infrastructure is integrated into the vessel’s cargo control room.
✓ Offshore support vessels and FSOs utilising radar-based tank level measurement for operational and safety compliance.
✓ LNG and LPG carriers where precise, continuous level data from TankRadar systems supports cargo operations and ullage reporting.
✓ Fleet maintenance and spares provisioning programmes for operators managing multiple vessels fitted with Saab TankRadar installations.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
Marine engineers and vessel operators sourcing Saab TankRadar components rely on correctly identified PCB cards to minimise system downtime during maintenance. Matching the hardware revision and part reference precisely ensures the replacement integrates reliably into the existing control architecture without requiring additional system reconfiguration.
Ideal For
Tankers, chemical carriers, product carriers, LPG and LNG vessels, FSOs, and offshore support vessels operating Saab TankRadar cargo and ballast level gauging systems requiring processor board replacement or maintenance support.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support troubleshooting, compatibility verification, installation guidance, and system commissioning for Saab TankRadar control systems. Repair, retrofit, and integration support can be discussed depending on the scope of work required — subject to confirmation. To confirm compatibility and suitability of this processor PCB for your installation, please provide nameplate photographs, the full part number and board revision from the existing card, system model and software version details, vessel name, IMO number, and any relevant system drawings or configuration documentation.
