The Saab Rosemount TankRadar Star SCB 5110 is a Supply and Communications Box designed for use within the TankRadar Star radar-based tank gauging system. Acting as a centralised power supply and data communications interface, this unit supports the distribution of power and the transmission of measurement data between field-mounted radar level gauges and the vessel’s cargo management and monitoring infrastructure. As a core component within a marine control system architecture, the SCB 5110 plays a critical role in maintaining continuous, reliable communication across the tank gauging network — directly supporting safe cargo operations, ullage monitoring, and overfill prevention onboard.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a combined supply and communications box, providing both power distribution and signal interfacing within the TankRadar Star radar gauging network.
✓ Specific voltage ratings, current capacity, and communication protocol details are not confirmed from available data — exact electrical specifications should be verified against the unit nameplate or system documentation.
✓ Designed for compatibility with the Saab Rosemount TankRadar Star system; suitability for integration with other TankRadar variants or third-party cargo control systems is subject to confirmation.
✓ Intended for installation within a protected enclosure or control room environment typical of cargo instrumentation systems; installation context and environmental ratings should be confirmed prior to fitting.
✓ As a communications and supply node within the gauging loop, replacement of this unit requires careful system isolation and recommissioning — coordination with system documentation and vessel-specific configuration is strongly advised.
Marine Applications
✓ Crude oil tankers and product tankers utilising Saab Rosemount TankRadar Star systems for continuous radar-based cargo ullage measurement.
✓ LPG and chemical tankers where accurate, real-time tank level data is essential for cargo planning, loading, and discharge operations.
✓ Floating production, storage, and offloading vessels (FPSOs) equipped with integrated radar gauging and cargo management systems.
✓ Bulk liquid carriers and shuttle tankers where supply and communications continuity within the tank gauging network is operationally critical.
✓ Vessel cargo control rooms and integrated bridge systems where centralised monitoring of tank levels feeds into cargo computers and alarm management systems.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
Marine engineers and cargo systems technicians specify the Saab Rosemount TankRadar Star SCB 5110 when maintaining or restoring the integrity of an existing TankRadar Star installation. Its role as the system’s supply and communications hub means reliable sourcing of an OEM-matched replacement is essential to avoid network disruption and ensure accurate gauging data remains available throughout cargo operations.
Ideal For
Tankers, FPSOs, chemical carriers, LPG vessels, and other liquid cargo ships operating Saab Rosemount TankRadar Star radar gauging systems — particularly vessels requiring like-for-like replacement of supply and communications infrastructure within an existing cargo monitoring setup.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical support is available to assist with system integration, pre-installation verification, testing, and recommissioning of this unit within the TankRadar Star network. Retrofit and upgrade compatibility, as well as suitability for specific system configurations, is subject to confirmation. To confirm compatibility and ensure the correct unit is supplied, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, the full part number (9240 021-203), system software version, existing wiring or loop diagrams, vessel name, IMO number, and the scope of the intended replacement or repair work. All technical assessments are subject to confirmation based on documentation provided.
