The Saab Marine Tankradar Transmitter Connection Unit (TCU) is a purpose-built interface component within the Saab Marine tank gauging and level measurement control system. Serving as the critical link between field-mounted radar transmitters and the central processing or display system, the TCU conditions and relays transmitter signals to ensure accurate, continuous tank level data. As part of the Marine Control System category, this unit is integral to the reliable operation of cargo, ballast, and fuel monitoring systems across a wide range of vessel types.
Key Features
✓ Functions as the dedicated interface between radar level transmitters and the tank gauging control system, maintaining signal integrity across the installation.
✓ Referenced under drawing number 9150022-69 with part numbers 9150022-691 and 9150022-521; exact electrical ratings and dimensional data are subject to confirmation from nameplate and technical documentation.
✓ Designed for compatibility within the Saab Marine Tankradar system architecture; integration with other panels, controllers, or system versions should be confirmed against the vessel’s existing configuration.
✓ Typically installed in a controlled equipment space or instrument enclosure; mounting location, environmental rating, and any applicable classification society approvals are subject to confirmation.
✓ A like-for-like replacement of the TCU supports continuity of tank gauging system performance and minimises disruption to cargo or ballast monitoring operations during maintenance.
Marine Applications
✓ Cargo tank level measurement systems aboard crude oil tankers, product tankers, and chemical carriers utilising Saab Marine Tankradar equipment.
✓ Ballast water monitoring and control systems on bulk carriers, container vessels, and offshore support vessels.
✓ Fuel oil and fresh water tank gauging installations on passenger ships, RoRo ferries, and large merchant vessels.
✓ Integrated ship management systems where Saab Marine tank gauging provides level data to a centralised automation or alarm monitoring platform.
✓ Retrofit and upgrade projects on vessels with existing Saab Tankradar infrastructure requiring replacement of ageing or damaged TCU modules.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Saab Marine Tankradar TCU is a manufacturer-referenced component offering a direct replacement path for vessels already operating within the Saab tank gauging ecosystem, helping to restore full system functionality with minimal re-engineering effort.
Ideal For
Tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, passenger vessels, offshore support vessels, and any commercial or industrial vessel equipped with Saab Marine Tankradar level gauging systems requiring TCU replacement or spare inventory.
