Civacon’s Opti-Therm 8460SRC is a direct drop-in replacement chassis for upgrading Scully ST-6 or BICLOPS® rack control monitors with the Opti-Therm technology – Automatic Switching and Internal Ground Verification for API compatible Optic and Thermistor technology all in one box. Installation requires simple hand tools and typically takes less than an hour.

Civacon Opti-Therm rack monitors are used to automatically recognize the type of overfill protection system (optic or thermistor signals) that is being used on a transport. When connected to the tank truck or railcar, the monitor checks the status of the sensors within the compartments. These overfill detection systems provide automatic warning of product overfill at predetermined levels and warn of a pending overload condition.
