C. Flashing Light Kit (Model PTS-FLK)
Up until January 1, 1997 we provided an audio-visual alarm (Model LAS-AVA) with
relay (P/N 3097-105-152). You may still purchase the audio-visual alarm (see P/N
8047-125-000, Model AVA), but it is no longer part of the System. NFPA 1901-96
requires flashing lights. These lights must flash unless the System is in the stored
position.
II.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
The following equipment may be added to any PTS System:
A. Tank Cover Hardware (Model PTS-TCH)
Tank cover hardware should be ordered when a metal cover is added to the PTS
System. Failure to use our tank cover hardware will void our warranty in the event
of damage. See pages 18 & 19.
B. Flashing Light Kit (Model PTS-FLK)
Flashing light kit may be added to systems purchased prior to January 1, 1997. See

  • Page 2: General Installation Information

    III. GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION The Portable Tank System was designed for use with portable tanks having a standard height of 30 inches and a collapsed width not exceeding 8 inches. For tanks exceeding these dimensions, contact the factory for information and pricing on larger tank boxes. When the portable tank is placed into the tank box (9 &...
  • Page 3 C. Synchronization of Actuators It is important to the operation of the PTS System that the actuators work in synchro- nization. The actuators may be out of synch a considerable amount before binding occurs, however, reducing the occurence of this will increase the lift of the actuators and prevent damage to the existing wiring system.
  • Page 4 B. Mounting the System (continued) Check for any obstructions behind or below the selected mounting locations. Also be sure you can run your wiring unobstructed through the back of the base castings. The outboard ends of the devices cannot be obstructed as access is necessary for mounting, emergency operation and adjustment of the actuators.
  • Page 5: Troubleshooting

    B. Mounting the System (continued) 12. Attach the flashing light kit (Model PTS-FLK) at this time (see pages 14 & 15), following the "Wiring System" directions on page 20. 13. Connect the electrical system at this time (see Section IV. C.) so the system may be tested.
  • Page 6 A. Actuator "Lock-Up" This problem may occur if the electric actuator extends past the normal operating range. If one or both actuators lock-up and do not move, operate the switch to move the active actuator toward a parallel position with the inoperable actuator and continue until both actuators ratchet.
  • Page 7 C. One Actuator Running Two Seconds or More Slower Than the Other All actuators are timed, under load, at the factory and the times are recorded. Electric actuators are matched as close to equal times as possible when a PTS System is assembled.
  • Page 8: Maintenance

    B. Mounting (continued) Clamp the tank cover to the tank boxes. Raise the three hinges and mark the four hole sets for each hinge. Use "F" drill to drill out the twelve holes. Place the end backplates (104) and center backplate (103) in place and attach with 1/4-20 screws (111).
