RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. EQUIPMENT PROTECTION TLS monitoring equipment, including the Magnetostrictive Probe, is designed and certified to comply with the Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) and the IECEx scheme. The installer must consider any local regulations, which may differ or be more stringent, prior to installing any equipment. The suitability/safety of any installation is ultimately... -
Page 7: Equipotential Grounding
If the site has a submersible pump (DIN/EN 15268) connected to the same mains safety ground as the TLS Monitoring System Console and it is installed in a metallic riser of a metallic storage tank, the zener diode barrier must be referenced to the same earth (safety) ground. -
Page 8: These Are The Conditions For Safe Use When Installing A Mag Probe
Except for the cables used to connect intrinsically safe apparatus, information contained on the system certificate and each of the device certificates, provide the safety related information (Ex ia) required to install a TLS Monitoring System. Cables used to connect intrinsically safe apparatus must be considered in determining compliance and are limited to the maximum allowable cable parameters listed in this manual. -

Page 15: Probe Installation
The installation of the tank access chamber is the responsibility of the customer or their local site contractor and not that of Gilbarco S.r.l. / Gilbarco UK. However, there are certain requirements which need to be met to allow the correct installation of Veeder-Root in–tank monitoring probes. Typical installations are shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11. -
Page 16: Provision For Probe Risers
TLS Magnetostrictive Probes International Installation Guide Access Chamber Installation PROVISION FOR PROBE RISERS A dedicated probe tapping of either 2-inch BSP (preferred), 3-inch BSP, or 4-inch BSP must be provided. For maximum height–to–volume accuracy, the probe socket must be as close as possible to the longitudinal axis of the tank. -
Page 17: Probe And Riser Installation Criteria
TLS Magnetostrictive Probes International Installation Guide Probe and Riser Installation Criteria Probe and Riser Installation Criteria Mag probe installations require a 2-inch or 3-inch (51 or 76mm) riser, regardless of tank entry size. Entry sizes of 1 inch, or entries larger than 3 inches must be with the suitable fittings. -
Page 18: Probe Installation Using Process Connection
G2 inch 11 tpi to DIN 2999 (BS2779) must be provided. 1. Prior to installing or servicing the Magnetostrictive Probe, remove the AC input power going to the TLS Console and verify that the console power is off. During servicing, disconnect the probe cable and remove the probe from the tank. -
Page 19: Determining The Correct Probe Length
TLS Magnetostrictive Probes International Installation Guide Probe and Riser Installation Criteria DETERMINING THE CORRECT PROBE LENGTH Refer to Figure 15 and carry out the following procedure. 1. Enter dimensions A, B, C, and E in Table 1. 2. Add dimensions B + C and enter this in column “F”. -
Page 20: Determining The Minimum Access Chamber Depth
Column “K” must be zero or a positive number. If the result is a negative number there is insufficient clearance for the probe and riser assembly. In this case please contact Veeder-Root Technical Support or your local Representative for details on custom length Mag Probes and special skirted risers, having available the dimensions A - E shown in Figure 15. -
Page 21: Probe Riser Pipe Installation
Veeder-Root magnetostrictive probes, should be used for Mag Probe installation (see Figure 16). Riser caps are normally fitted at the time of probe installation by Veeder-Root authorised engineers. An optional cable shield is available for 3-inch (76mm) riser caps, if required. -

Page 29: Appendix A - Surge Protection Risk Assessment
Appendix A - Surge Protection Risk Assessment Where a tank gauge probe is installed in a ‘riser’ and the entire probe is within the vapour space of the tank, a risk assessment is required to assess whether additional surge protection is required in close proximity to the probe. First, complete the Lightning Risk Assessment by identifying whether the site is suitably described by one of the 6 categories listed. - Page 30 Example Isokeraunic Map from IEC Lightning Risk Assessment Tool: Germany...
