DUMMY BOARD

SAAB TANK RADAR
The Saab Marine Electronics 9150028-631 is a dummy board designed for use within Saab Tank Radar control system enclosures and rack assemblies. Dummy boards of this type serve a critical passive function: they occupy vacant card slots within a control chassis, maintaining proper airflow management, EMI shielding, and mechanical integrity across the system backplane. In a marine tank radar installation, where accurate level measurement and cargo management depend on the continuous, stable operation of the control electronics, maintaining a correctly populated chassis is essential. Even unoccupied slots must be properly covered to preserve the thermal and electrical environment of the active components.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a slot filler within Saab Tank Radar control system enclosures, ensuring chassis integrity where active boards are not installed
✓ Specific electrical ratings and physical dimensions are subject to confirmation against the system configuration — consult nameplate data and system drawings before ordering
✓ Compatible with Saab Marine Electronics Tank Radar system assemblies; cross-compatibility with other Saab control panels or rack variants is subject to confirmation
✓ Typically installed in the control unit or junction cabinet associated with the tank radar system — installation environment and mounting requirements depend on the host enclosure configuration
✓ Replacement or addition of dummy boards is commonly required during system reconfiguration, board removal for servicing, or retrofit activities where slot population must be maintained
Marine Applications
✓ Tankers and chemical carriers utilising Saab Tank Radar systems for cargo level measurement and management
✓ LNG and LPG vessels where Saab marine instrumentation is integrated into cargo control and monitoring systems
✓ Offshore floating storage and offloading units (FSOs/FPSOs) equipped with Saab tank gauging and radar level systems
✓ Vessel control rooms and cargo control centres where rack-mounted marine electronics require full slot population for correct thermal management
✓ Shipyard new-build and dry-dock refit projects involving installation or reconfiguration of Saab Tank Radar control system enclosures
Why Marine Engineers Choose
Marine engineers and vessel operators specify genuine Saab Marine Electronics components to maintain system compatibility and preserve the operational reliability of tank radar installations. Using the correct dummy board ensures the host chassis performs as designed, protecting active boards from thermal and EMI issues arising from open slots.
Ideal For
Tankers, chemical carriers, LNG/LPG vessels, FSOs, FPSOs, and any commercial or offshore vessel operating Saab Marine Electronics Tank Radar systems requiring chassis slot management and system maintenance support.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical support is available for remote troubleshooting, onboard commissioning guidance, system integration queries, and retrofit or upgrade planning related to Saab Tank Radar installations. Compatibility with a specific system configuration is subject to confirmation. To confirm suitability, buyers should provide nameplate photographs, the full part number from the existing installation, relevant system drawings or diagrams, the Saab Tank Radar system model and software version where known, and vessel name or IMO number. Sharing this information at the point of enquiry will help ensure the correct component is supplied for your application.
