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).
2. Core Specifications
System Compatibility: Graviner MK6 OMD Control Unit
Detector Capacity: Manages up to 64 detector heads (8 engines max)
Communication: RS-485 serial link to detectors
Power Supply: 24 VDC (X: Single; GL: Dual Redundant)
Environmental: -25°C to +70°C; Marine-grade (anti-corrosion, anti-vibration)

Certifications: Class-approved for marine (SOLAS), CE
3. Key Functions
Data Acquisition: Reads oil-mist density from all remote detectors
Alarm Logic: Triggers Average/Deviation alarms & engine slowdown/shutdown
Self-Diagnostics: Continuously monitors system health & fault reporting
Control I/O: Interfaces with ship's ECR, CMS, and alarm panels
Optics Test: Performs calibration & health checks on detector heads
4. Typical Applications
Exclusively installed as the core control board for:
  • Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection Systems
  • Marine diesel engines (MAN B&W, Wärtsilä) for crankcase explosion protection
  • Ship engine rooms (bulk carriers, tankers, container vessels)
  • Retrofitting & maintaining legacy MK6 OMD systems
