Flammable liquids with a flash point of > or ≤ 55 °C. • Since July 2003, the LAG-14 ER leak detector may only be used for replacement deliveries for underground, double-walled tanks as a re- sult of the reclassification of water-polluting liquids in Germany.
Each prod- uct is subjected to a function and safety test prior to shipping. Operate the leak detector LAG-14 ER only when it is in perfect condition. Always observe the operating instructions, all perti-...

5. Function The LAG-14 ER leak detector monitors the interstitial space of dou- ble-walled tanks filled with leak detection fluid. In the case of a leak in the inner or outer wall of the container (tank), above or below the levels of the stored liquid or the ground water, the leak detection fluid escapes.

The green pilot lamp lights up as soon as the leak detector is sup- plied with mains voltage. The Test button allows you to simulate an alarm condition in order to perform a function test. LAG-14 ER...
Product description Operating modes Eco: The LAG-14 ER leak detector is equipped with an output relay to transmit the alarm signal to additional external devices. If no error condition is present, the relay is de-energised; in case of an alarm, the relay is energised.

4.0 - 8.8 mm 8.0 - 12.5 mm Approvals, tests and conformities LAG-14 ER complies with the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU), the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU), the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU), EC Type Examination Certificate number EX5 11 02 15639 011 and the Construction Products Di- rective 305/2011 (EN 13160-3:2003).
Mounting and commissioning Calculation fundamentals LAG-14 ER at underground container (tank) The effective capacity of the black LAG container is limited by the liq- uid level screw in the centre of the container; it amounts to 4.5 litres. For underground containers (tanks), 1 litre of leak detection fluid is required in the black LAG container per 100 litres of interstitial space volume.
Page 18
20,000 litres. Together with additional containers with an effective capacity of 4.5 litres each, the LAG-14 ER leak detector can also be used for tanks with a greater interstitial space volume. The additional containers are connected to each other and to the black LAG container by means of EPDM hoses.

17.1, page 38. Operation LAG-14 ER monitors double-walled containers (tanks). In the case of a leak, leak detection fluid escapes and LAG-14 ER triggers an alarm. The operation of LAG-14 ER is limited to its regular monitoring: The green pilot lamp is on.
The alarm signals must immediately switch off. At the control unit Press the test button. The supply to the probe is interrupted. The red alarm lamp must light up and the audible alarm must sound. LAG-14 ER...
