0 Recommended Practices for the Testing and Verification of Spill, Overfill, Leak Detection and Secondary Containment Equipment at UST Facilities Verify that the console has no active or recurring history of leak detection -related warnings or alarms. In the event of any such warnings or alarms, notify the appro- priate person before continuing the test. Where possible print out the system setup and any alarm histories from the console. Save the printout for facility records or make an electronic copy. 8.2.1.5 Test Equipment. Test equip- ment shall include: • tools for the removal of the ATG probe and sensors; • tape measure or gauge stick; • water -finding paste. 8.2.1.6 Test Procedure. 1. Measure the product and water level in the tank and compare to the console readings to confirm ATG accuracy. If the readings do not agree, contact the appropriate person. . Remove the ATG probe cap and disconnect the cable from the ATG. 3. Remove the ATG probe from the tank. Use care to ensure that the floats on the stem do not catch on the bottom of the riser during removal. . Inspect the probe. The floats must move freely on the stem without binding. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact the appropriate person. 5. Reconnect the probe cable. 6. Set the fuel float in the middle of the probe and verify that it is showing the correct inch reading on the console. 7. Slowly move the fuel float up the probe until the high product alarm is triggered on the console. If the system does not alarm at the pre-set level, contact the appropriate person. S. Measure the distance from the bottom of the probe to the fuel float when the float first triggers the high product alarm. FIGURE 8-2. When removing and replacing the ATG probe, be careful to avoid damaging any of the compo- nents. . Clear the alarm conditions. 10. For the water float, slowly move the float up the probe until the water alarm is triggered. Measure the distance from the bottom of the probe to the water float when the float first triggers the water alarm. . Compare the measurements for prod- uct float and the water float in Steps S and 11 to the values programmed into the console. 8.2.1.7 Pass/Fail Criteria. If the mea- surements for the product and water floats match the values programmed in the con- sole and the console acknowledges the high product and water level alarms, the ATG probe passes the test. If the measurements for the product and water floats do not match the values pro- grammed in the console or the console does not acknowledge the high product or water level alarms, the ATG probe fails the test.
