Low coolant
got you hot
under the
collar?

The REDARC Low Coolant Alarm can be used in a 12
or 24 volt automotive system or remote water pumping
system to monitor radiator coolant levels.
It will provide a visual and audible alarm if the coolant
falls below the chosen level or if the pump loses priming.
A warning will be given if a sudden loss of coolant
occurs from a burst radiator hose, for example, alerting
you to switch off the engine, to prevent damage due to
overheating.

Benefits
­­­­­­n	­Cost-effective protection against engine
damage caused by coolant loss
­­­­­­ 	­Automatic fault detection alerts you about
n
a fault before extensive damage occurs
n	­­­­­­More reliable than a vehicle’s temperature

gauge in the event of a sudden loss of coolant
n

Doesn’t cause corrosion

n	­­­­­­Lets you know it’s still working, every time

you start the car

Operation

LCA1224 standard installation

The REDARC Low Coolant Alarm (LCA1224)
is used in a 12 or 24 volt automotive
system to monitor radiator coolant levels
and provides a visual and audible alarm if
the coolant falls below the chosen level.
It will give warning of a sudden loss of
coolant (eg from a burst radiator hose)
allowing the operator to stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine, to prevent any
damage due to overheating.
If the probe wire is broken the LCA1224 will
provide a visual and audible alarm.
On ignition, the LCA1224 will simulate a
low coolant condition or broken probe wire
internally. Self-test includes two flashes of
the indicator LED and 4 short bursts from
the buzzer.
If the radiator is not quite full and coolant
sloshes around, the LED flashes after half
a second but the beeper will not sound for
3-4 seconds. So there is a visual reminder
to top up but no annoying beeps.

AC Sensing
The LCA1224 probe is supplied with an
alternating current so it does not produce
electrolysis, which can cause cooling
system corrosion.

Important
The LCA1224 is an emergency warning
system only.
It warns of a sudden loss of coolant while
the vehicle is operating. It will provide an
indication when gradual loss has reached
the low level, but should not be used
to avoid regular visual checks of the
cooling system.
In the event of any loss of coolant, the
cause should be investigated rather than
just using the LCA1224 as a reminder to
top up the radiator.
