FE Petro is pleased to introduce the first monitor the pumping demand at the station significant advancement in submersible pump forecourt. By varying the RPM of the motor, the technology since Franklin Electric, FE Petro's pumping rate is controlled to maintain a constant corporate parent, engineered the first flow rate at the dispenser nozzle. This, combined submersible motor for use in underground with additional "Intelligence" provides advantages storage tanks back in the mid 1950's. Essentially, not previously available from any submersible this original motor design is still in use today. pumping unit. The FE Petro Intelligent Submersible Turbine Consider these specific features of the IST for (IST) utilizes a Variable Frequency Controller to your retail operations: CONSTANT FLOW: Provides constant flow for up to 8 nozzles at a predetermined flow rate set at installation. Constant flow means faster fueling times during those daily peak business periods. MEETS EPA "SPITBACK" CONTROL: From January 1 1996, the EPA requires a maximum flow rate per nozzle of 10 GPM. The IST meets this require- ment with a one time investment. To comply, the maxi- mum flow rate for one nozzle is adjust- ed to a maximum of 10 GPM. The IST will provide a constant flow rate for up to 8 nozzles operating simultaneously. EPA mandated "Spitback" control is met by the IST with a simple adjustment during installation. Invest in "Spitback" control one time with the IST. DRY RUNNING PROTECTION: Since the IST monitors the power consumption of the motor, the Variable Frequency Controller turns the pump off upon, the tank being pumped empty. The controller sig- nals the dry running con- dition as well as others. Dry running is eliminated with the IST. The result is less bearing wear, and longer motor life. - VARIABLE LENGTH: Finally, one pump that fits 94% of all known tank diameters and tank bury depth combinations. Two other model lengths are available to handle installations shorter or longer than this range. The tele- scoping connection is patent pending by FE Petro. 0 0 • • Pump length is set at the job site by making one S • simple measurement and setting the pump length. All in about 20 minutes and without affecting the UL listing of the pump. 9 MANUAL PRESSURE RELIEF: Another unique FE PE feature. When necess, during maintenance t, bleed line pressure to a vent screw is provide By turning this screw, line pressure is divert back to the tank. Reduces fuel discharge into the sump manhole or dispenser pan during servicing, further protecting service technicians and the environment. A RELIABLE CHECK VALVE: The IST uses FE Petro's proven line check valve. At 2 3/4" in diameter, this valve reduces pressure loss at high flow rates, resulting in faster fueling times and lower power consumption. The FE Petro check valve is proven to seal. You can avoid purchasing additional check valves when the IST is used with some electronic line leak detectors because of this proven reliability. SUPERIOR BEARING COOLING: The IST uses the exclusive FE Petro cooling system. This unique system continually passes over 1 GPM through a fine bronze filter and directly through motor bearings whenever pump is operating. This system has been designed to extend critical bearing and motor life. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE: The IST pressure relief valve is the same simple valve used for years in our standard submersibles. Factory set to relieve (, at or above pump pressure. This valve is protected from particles in the fuel by a fine., mesh screen. By keeping static line pressure as high as possible, mechanical leak detectors make fewer tests, and therefore last longer. The IST uses the standard FE Petro air eliminator, which has a double function as the syphon primer for tank syphon systems. AIR ELIMINATOR: The air eliminator is a one way valve, allowing air to return to the tank, but not re-enter the piping system. SYPHON CHECK VALVE: Optional for syphoned tanks. Another time proven performer. The FE Petro syphon check valve can be easily cleaned in the field. It is not necessary to replace with a new valve if it becomes blocked from particles in the fuel tanks. VERTICAL DISCHARGE Another unique feature of FE Petro. Provides for a simple connection to underground piping. This unique FE Petro feature allows for fewer fittings to connect the pump to the discharge line, and requires less space in the sump. If ever required, the pump can be easily removed from the tank by unthreading three bolts. There is no need to disconnect the syphon system, or remove the leak detector from the system to service the IST. SIMPLE SERVICING This feature reduces the risk of correcting one problem and causing another. INTELLIGENCE: The Variable Frequency Controller has contin- uous running diagnostics and displays system conditions on the controller. Dry Running Low Incoming Voltage Locked Rotor in Pump Open Circuit between Controller and Motor Short Circuit between ewe Controller and Motor Thermal Overload in Controller Controller capacitors failing Immediate, easily understood, display of system conditions. SERIAL COMMUNICATION Incorporates a �"" ""� serial commun system for easy integration or i monitoring. System integration with other electronic monitoring equipment.
