  • Page 3: Chapter 1 - Overview

    CHAPTER 1 - OVERVIEW ongratulations on purchasing the Garnet Instruments Model 809-DM S ™ Gauge for Trucks. The S PECIAL represents the state of the art in liquid level measurement equipment for transport applications. The S L is designed for reliable, accurate level measurement of sour or sweet crude oil, chemicals, acids, water, condensate, gasoline, or diesel fuel.

  • Page 4: Chapter 2 - Gauge Description

    The 809DM system is designed for body trucks with up to 6 product tanks. It also has remote inputs to connect up to 3 other Garnet gauge systems, which may be used for water tanks on the same truck. The system provides remote communications via a...
  • Page 5 Each tank has its own set of alarms, with each set of 6 having a common output to operate lights, horns, engine shutdowns, or valves. The dispense alarm can be programmed from the front panel using the push buttons; it is used to accurately dispense the correct amount of product by sounding a horn or shutting a valve when the amount to be dispensed has been reached.

  • Page 6: Chapter 3 - Unique Features

    CHAPTER 3 - UNIQUE FEATURES he SeeLeveL gauge has been designed for maximum ease of installation and servicing, and for best operational features. The anchor at the bottom of the tank provides a shock mount for the float. If the sender bar needs replacement, the new sender bar can be cut to the same length as the old so that no re-calibration is required.

The user can set the dispense alarm with front panel buttons, so that no programmer is required when dispensing at a site.

    CHAPTER 4 - DISPLAY OPERATION Display window description: 1. The upper left display shows the volume of product in the selected tank. The lower right display shows the tank number selected. When the 12 volt power is active, then the displays are illuminated for night viewing.
  • Page 9 the gauge will recognize this and wait for another complete transmission before going to the next sender. 6. During dispensing, it is important for the gauge to focus on the viewed tank so that it can respond as quickly as possible when the dispensing amount has been reached.
  • Page 10 2. The PTO status is normally detected by an air pressure switch connected to the PTO pneumatic control line. This switch may already be present on the truck for other purposes, such as an indicator light, or it may need to be installed as part of the gauge installation.
  • Page 11 Program the 809-DM gauge for the correct number of tanks: 1. The 809-DM is fixed at six tanks for the main processor software version 5.18 and above. 2. Previous versions were programmable for less than six tanks, but this feature was removed since all applications had six tanks.

  • Page 12: Chapter 5 - Alarm Operation

    CHAPTER 5 - ALARM OPERATION here are are four alarm sources which operate three alarm outputs: 1. A dispense alarm which operates the dispense alarm output relay. This relay has normally open contacts that close when the alarm is active. The contacts can be wired to 12 volts or ground to activate a sounder, horn, light, or valve control.
  • Page 13 button to go fast. When the desired dispensing amount is shown in the top right display, press the HORN button to store the value. The displays will show “ALAr Stor” while the button is pressed to show that the value has been stored. If no button is pressed for 1 minute the system will time out and exit and no values will be stored.
  • Page 14 compared with the stored level. If the new level is lower than the stored amount, then the new level is stored as the starting point. If the new level is the same as the stored level, nothing further is done. If the new level is higher than the stored level, and if the scanned tank is one not being viewed, then the difference is calculated to see if it exceeds 30 increments.
  • Page 15 (t.An1) on the lower right display will turn on to indicate that there is a bypassed overfill warning alarm for that tank. The bypass is automatically removed when the tank level drops below the A3 set point, which is normally set near the minimum operating tank level.
  • Page 16 level. This automatic reset of the bypass ensures the alarm is active the next time the tank is filled. The bypass can also be manually removed by pressing the TOTAL and SHUT DOWN buttons at the same time. If multiple tanks are in alarm, they all must be bypassed before the alarm is turned off.

    In addition to the diagnostic tools built into the 817 programmer, there are two testers available from Garnet to assist in troubleshooting and testing. The 899 Multi Bar Simulator has 6 optical outputs to simulate all 6 bars at once. The simulated levels from each bar can be adjusted independently to test display and alarm operation.
