Important Safety Messages

Franklin Fueling Systems (FFS) equipment is designed to be installed in association with volatile hydrocarbon liquids
such as gasoline and diesel fuel. Installing or working on this equipment means working in an environment in which these
highly flammable liquids may be present. Working in such a hazardous environment presents a risk of severe injury or
death if these instructions and standard industry practices are not followed. Read and follow all instructions thoroughly
before installing or working on this, or any other related, equipment.
As you read this guide, please be aware of the following symbols and their meanings:
This symbol identifies a warning. A warning sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially
Warning
hazardous situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous
situation may involve the possibility of severe bodily harm or even death.
This is a caution symbol. A caution sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially hazardous
Caution
environmental situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially
hazardous environmental situation may involve the leakage of fuel from equipment that could severely harm
the environment.
This symbol identifies an electrical danger. An electrical danger sign will appear in the text of this document
Danger
when a potentially hazardous situation involving large amounts of electricity may arise if the instructions that
follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous situation may involve the possibility of electrocution,
severe bodily harm, or even death.
Alarms and warnings are designed to alert you with specific details when a problem occurs so you can take
appropriate corrective action.
Follow all applicable codes governing the installation and servicing of this product and the entire system.
Always lock out and tag electrical circuit breakers while installing or servicing this equipment and any
Warning
related equipment. A potentially lethal electrical shock hazard and the possibility of an explosion or fire from
a spark can result if the electrical circuit breakers are accidentally turned on during installation or servicing.
Please refer to the Installation and Owner's Manual for this equipment, and the appropriate documentation
for any other related equipment, for complete installation and safety information.
Follow all federal, state and local laws governing the installation of this product and its associated systems.
When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A and 70 from the National Fire Protection
Warning
Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious property damage
and/or environmental contamination.
Always secure the work area from moving vehicles. The equipment in this manual is usually mounted
Warning underground, so reduced visibility puts service personnel working on this equipment in danger from moving
vehicles entering the work area. To help eliminate these unsafe conditions, secure the area by using a
service truck to block access to the work environment, or by using any other reasonable means available to
ensure the safety of service personnel.
When the Fuel Management System is used to monitor tanks containing gasoline or other flammable
Warning
substances, you may create an explosion hazard if you do not follow the requirements in this manual
carefully.
All wiring must enter the console's enclosure through the designated knockouts. An explosion hazard may
Warning
result if other openings are used.
You must run wiring from probes or sensors to the Fuel Management console in conduits which are
Warning
separate from all other wiring. Failure to do so will create an explosion hazard.
Substituting components could impair intrinsic safety. T5 series consoles are intrinsically safe for sensors
Warning installed in – Class I, Division 1, Group D – hazardous locations. Substitution of components could make
the energy limiting circuitry in the system ineffective and could cause an explosion hazard. Repairs to a T5
series console or attached components should only be performed by a qualified, factory-trained technician.
