TLS Magnetostrictive Probes International Installation Guide Before You Begin4Except for the cables used to connect intrinsically safe apparatus, information contained on the system certificateand each of the device certificates, provide the safety related information (Ex ia) required to install a TLSMonitoring System. Cables used to connect intrinsically safe apparatus must be considered in determiningcompliance and are limited to the maximum allowable cable parameters listed in this manual. For assistance incalculating the required (Ex ia) safety parameters, contact GVR as described on the inside cover of this manual.For European Community (EC) installations, additional equipment compliance information is available on the ECDeclaration of Conformity including reference to the technical standards applied by the Notified Body in creatingthe respective ATEX Certificates.THESE ARE THE CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE WHEN INSTALLING A MAG PROBE1. The devices have been evaluated in conjunction with the intrinsic safety system defined in DEMKO 06 ATEX137480X. The descriptive system documents and manuals included with the aforementioned certificate mustbe followed during installation and the appropriate Veeder Root accessories must be used. Manual 577014-031 details applicable process connections in accordance with EN 60079-26.2. The following condition of safe use applies to the Mag Sump Sensor: Before installing or taking into ahazardous area, earth the unit in a Safe Area to remove any static charge. Then immediately transport the unitto the installation site; do not rub or clean the unit prior to installation. Cleaning is not required under normalservice conditions; do not rub or clean the device after installation. If the unit is not fixed to a known earthpoint when installed, ensure that a separate earth connection is made to prevent the potential of staticdischarge. When fitting or removing the unit, use of anti-static footwear & clothing is required.3. The enclosure contains aluminum. Care must be taken to avoid ignition hazards due to impact of friction.ATTENTION!Important Considerations - Read Prior to Installation - Metallic/Steel TanksProcess Connection (gland): Must be used in locations where it is mandatory that the Mag Probe beequipotentially bonded to the tank structure.Riser Pipe: May be used in locations that do not require bonding between the Mag Probe and the tank structure.Reference European Norm IEC/EN 60079-14: Explosive atmospheres - Part 14: Electrical installations design,selection and erection.Cathodically Protected Tanks: Installation selection is dependent on the considerations listed above for theProcess Connection and the Riser Pipe.Only install TLS Magnetostrictive Probes according to one of the four procedures listed below:Wired Connections – Mag Probe to ATG Console wiring - see Figures 1 and 18.1. Process Connection (gland) – Zone 1 installation, Surge Protector not required2. Riser Pipe – Zone 0 installation, Surge Risk Protection Assessment (SRPA) requiredWireless Communication – Mag Probe with RF hardware - see Figures 2, 24 and 253. Process Connection (gland) – Zone 1 installation, surge protector not required4. Riser Pipe – Zone 0 installation, Surge Protector requiredBefore You Begin1. Consult any local regulations prior to proceeding to determine the best installation method. The instructionsbelow detail how to safely install probes with process connections or in a riser pipe and will also help indetermining when surge protection is required or may be necessary.2. Depending on the considerations above, perform a Surge Risk Protection Assessment (SRPA) of equipmentin the site. A (SRPA) checklist is available on our website at http://www.veeder.com/page/Probe_Manuals.3. Verify the equipment needed to complete the installation as described in this manual, and, if necessary, anyequipment required following completion of the site Surge Risk Protection Assessment (SRPA).
