9150064-861E
The Saab Marine Tankradar Transmitter Electronic Box (9150068-871 Rev A) is a core signal-processing and transmission component within the Saab Tankradar radar-based level gauging system. Designed to interface with external low-power sensors, this unit handles the electronic transmission functions essential to accurate, continuous tank level measurement. As part of the Marine Control System category, it plays a critical operational role in cargo management, ballast monitoring, and fuel inventory — systems on which vessel safety, stability, and regulatory compliance directly depend.
Key Features
✓ Rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 80°C, making it suitable for installation in high-temperature machinery spaces and tank environments typical of cargo and tanker vessels.
✓ Compatible with external sensors operating at PMAX < 1W, ensuring low-power sensor integration within the Saab Tankradar system architecture — additional electrical ratings subject to confirmation from nameplate and system documentation.
✓ Designed for use within the Saab Tankradar platform, providing transmitter-level electronics that support radar gauge heads and associated control panels — precise system model compatibility should be verified against vessel installation records.
✓ Revision A designation indicates a defined hardware iteration; engineers should confirm revision compatibility when replacing or upgrading within existing Tankradar installations to ensure functional continuity.
✓ Replacement of this electronic box typically requires careful decommissioning of the associated radar gauge circuit; integration into the existing system should be carried out by qualified marine automation or instrumentation technicians.
Marine Applications
✓ Cargo tank level gauging systems aboard oil tankers, chemical tankers, and LPG/LNG carriers where continuous and accurate level data is operationally and commercially critical.
✓ Ballast water management systems on bulk carriers and large merchant vessels requiring reliable level monitoring for stability and trim control.
✓ Fuel oil and fresh water tank monitoring on offshore supply vessels, RoRo ferries, and cruise ships where automated inventory management is integrated into the bridge or cargo control room.
✓ Slop tank and void space monitoring installations where harsh ambient conditions — including elevated temperatures — demand robust electronic components rated for the environment.
✓ Retrofit and upgrade projects on vessels transitioning from older mechanical or pneumatic gauging systems to modern radar-based level measurement platforms.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Saab Tankradar platform is widely trusted across the tanker and bulk carrier sectors for its reliability in demanding shipboard environments. This transmitter electronic box is a like-for-like replacement component, allowing engineers to restore system functionality without full gauge replacement — minimising downtime and maintaining continuity of the existing level measurement infrastructure.
Ideal For
Oil tankers, chemical tankers, LPG carriers, bulk carriers, offshore support vessels, and large ferry operators running Saab Tankradar level gauging installations requiring electronic component replacement or system maintenance.
Technical Support & Compliance
Remote troubleshooting guidance, onboard technical support coordination, system testing, commissioning assistance, and retrofit integration support are available subject to confirmation of installation details. To confirm compatibility and suitability for your vessel’s installation, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, the full part number and revision, system model and software version, any relevant wiring or installation drawings, and vessel name or IMO number where applicable. All compatibility assessments are subject to confirmation based on documentation provided.
