COMPANY PROFILE

ADS, Inc. was founded in 1989 with the introduction of the patented Model A-100 Outalarmtm battery operated portable ullage alarm. This unique instrument was an immediate success driven by governmental mandates and industry's commitment to health, safety, and environmental quality. Since then we have experienced a steady growth and have expanded our line to include wired high level shutdown systems and batch loading control systems.

Our level instruments employ a unique variable insertion non-contact solid state capacitance level sensor that assures the utmost in reliability and dependability, and may be used in the most hostile industrial environments. The sensor probe, available in standard lengths of 2, 3, 4, and 5 ft., features a laser engraved ruler scale and a vapor tight sliding gland that is easily adaptable to any cargo vessel through a standard 1/2" NPT fitting. We offer a wide range of probe materials ranging from our standard 316 Stainless Steel and Teflontm to exotic alloys such as Hastelloytm C-276 for highly corrosive chemicals. Our instruments are suitable for both open and closed dome loading applications.

The Model A-100 Outalarmtm self contained portable battery operated unit is used primarily for local audible and visual high level alarming. An optional opto-isolated solid state switch is available for activating remote alarms or shutdowns. The unit features a fail safe continuous battery monitor that puts the unit in alarm on low battery voltage. A standard disposable 9 V alkaline battery will operate the Outalarmtm for up to 750 hours.

Complementing the Outalarmtm we offer the 110 VAC powered Models A-200 and A-210 Spillguardtm and Model A-300 and A-300M Batchguardtm products. These fail safe systems for high level and batch control are supplied complete with probe, controller, and a heavy duty cable and are FM intrinsically safe for Class I Div 1 Groups A, B, C, &D. hazardous areas.
