Pressure Sensor Installation L Nom.Dsaff Precautions GENERAL H:ALTH Ensure that all local council,ANZEx laws and regulations are complied w&'.4iso efturc that all recognized safety codes are followed. e Every person working with Veeder-Root equipment is expected to take every safety precaution possible in the installation of the TLS Systems. Contractors must ensure that supervisory personnel on the installation site are aware of their presence and ' requirements, especially the provision of safe working areas and isolation from AC electrical power. Leaking underground tanks can create serious environmental and health hazards. It is the contractor's responsibility to comply with the instructions and warnings found in this manual. ' DANGER AREAS A WARNING C� TLS System products will be operated near the highly combustible 9environment of a fuel storage tank. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY,ENVIRONMENT, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Failure to install these products according to the instructions contained in this manual may result in explosion and personal injury. It is essential that the warnings and instructions in this manual are carefully read and followed to protect both the installer and others from serious or fatal injury. ' If the underground storage tank to be fitted with a TLS system either contains or at any time has contained petroleum products then the tank inspection chamber must be considered a hazardous environment as defined in ' IEC EN 60079-10 Classification of Hazardous Areas. Suitable working practices for this environment must be observed. ' INTRINSIC SAFETY The design of Veeder-Root products limits the power in the wiring to the in-tank probes and sensors and keeps this wiring physically separated from any other. It is the responsibility of the contractor to maintain the effectiveness ' of these safety features by preparing the installation site in accordance with the instructions and warnings which follow. Failure to do so could create danger to life and property. Only those products contained in the system descriptive documents are certified by Veeder-Root.The safe installation and placing of equipment into service ' that is not contained on the system descriptive documents is the sole responsibility of the installer, end user and local authority having jurisdiction. All installations must comply with all local, national and international codes. Circuitry within the probe and console barrier forms an intrinsically safe, energy limited system.This system makes the probes and sensors suitable for use in hazardous locations. Probe and sensor wiring is intrinsically safe only when connected to the TLS console. Substitution of specified components may impair intrinsic safety. All probe and sensor wiring must be contained in dedicated ducts. ' 3
