Tidel line leak detection probes have been designed to meet both the 3 gph hourly requirement as well as the .2 gph- monthly testing requirement of the U.S. EPA. The line leak detection probes are installed in a 2" tee on the output line of the submersible pump. Both the hourly and the monthly tests are conducted on a continous basis. The line leak detection probe performs these two tests through a 3 step testing cycle immediately following each dispense. Step 1: 10 gallons per hour catastrophic leak test is conducted, this test lasts 15 seconds. Step 2: 3 gallon per hour test is conducted which lasts a maximum of 5 minutes. Step 3: .2 gallon per hour test which will last between 30 minutes and 5 hours depending on the stability of the temperature of the product in the lines. In the event that a 10 gallon or 3 gallon per hour leak test fails, the EMS console will automatically enter into an alarm state, and respond in the following manner: 1. The red alarm LED on the consoles front panel will be illuminated. 2. On line four of the display it will show "PROBE # OIL" message, indicating which probes are in alarm. 3. The probe location, as well as the alarm state will be shown on all status reports which are printed. - 4. The alarm event will also be recorded and made available as part of the history report. 5. If programmed the system may also respond with an audible alarm, which may be silenced by pressing any key on the keypad with the exception of the "clear" key. All Alarms should be investigated immediately. For local service dispatch, notify the Tidel Engineering Service Department at 1-800-678-7577. As an added feature, the EMS -3000 can be programmed to shut off power to the submersible pump when a line leak test is failed. In the event that a.2 gallon per hour leak test fails, the EMS console will automatically enter into a warning state and respond in the following manner: 1. The yellow warning LED on the EMS front panel will be illuminated. — 2. On line four of the display it will show a "PROBE # WET" message, indicating which probes are in warning condition. 3. The probe location, as well as the warning condition will be shown on all status reports which are printed. 4. The warning will also be recorded and made available as part of the system history report. 5. If programmed the system may also respond with an audible alarm, which may be silenced by pressing the "clear" key. All Warning conditions should be investigated immediately.
