Graviner 44782-K183 (Interface PCB)
Part No.: 44782-K183 (1-44782-K183)
Manufacturer: Graviner (Kidde, UK)
Series: MK6 Oil Mist Detection (OMD) System
Type: Main Interface / Processor PCB
Application: Marine Engine Crankcase Protection
1. General Description
The 44782-K183 is the critical Interface / Processor Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for the Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detector (OMD) system, a widely used safety device on marine diesel engines. This board serves as the "brain" of the control unit, managing all core functions: data processing from up to 64 detector heads, alarm logic, system diagnostics, and communication with the ship's engine control system.
Full Part Numbers:
• 1-44782-K183X: Single power supply input
• 1-44782-K183GL: Dual redundant power supply inputs
Status: Legacy/Discontinued (Sourced as refurbished/new surplus for marine maintenance).
