Seal conduit within 50 mm (2 inches) of the DL8000.
6.
: Install certified conduit plugs in any unused entries.
Note
Secure cases and covers of all devices.
7.
Apply electrical power.
8.
Configure (set up) the DL8000 and any other devices as required.
9.
Disable product block valves and additive block valves to
10.
prevent any product or additive flow. Then verify system monitor
and control functions with dry piping.
Enable one product block valve at a time and one additive
11.
injection system at a time. Then verify the piping integrity and
system operation in increments for each product and each additive
handling system.
Perform meter proves to determine DL8000 meter calibration.
12.
Consider the following points during DL8000 mechanical installation
planning:
 Maintenance Access
The operator panel is hinged at the bottom side and opens down for
maintenance access. Route all conduit to the rear, sides, or bottom of
the unit. Do not locate any object under the DL8000 or in front of
the conduit connections for a distance of approximately 533 mm (21
inches) below the instrument.
 Mounting Height
Recommended mounting height is approximately 1.14 to 1.27
meters (45 to 50 inches) above grade to the bottom of the DL8000
case (see Figure 2-2). Mounting height determines the ease of
viewing the display panel and ease of use of the keypad.
 Mounting Position
North/south/east/west orientation of the operator control panel is
somewhat predetermined by the loading facility design. Consider the
location of the operator in relation to one or two tanker vehicles
present and connected at the loading island.
 Mounting Fixtures
You must fabricate mounting fixtures for the DL8000. Each
DL8000 comes with four M10-1.5 x 15 mm metric thread bolts for
mounting. You can either rear-mount or bottom-mount the DL8000,
although bottom-mounting is preferred due to the DL8000's weight.
The mounting attachment should be a 4 mm (0.16 inch) (minimum)
thick mild steel member with four 11.5 mm (0.44 inch) diameter
