The VISY-Density (LPG) module is an extension of the VISY-Stick Advanced level sensor in the VISY-X system for the measurement of product/sump density of fuel or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The module is available for use in fuel tanks as "VISY-Density" and for use in LPG tanks as "VISY-Density LPG".
This manual contains a description of all steps needed for the implementation. Please also observe the additional instructions in the following manuals: Technical Documentation VISY-Command VI-4, art. no. 207184 Technical Documentation VISY-Stick and VISY-Reed, art. no. 207194 Requirements for service engineers The complete VISY-X system should only be installed by trained service engineers.

When installing and servicing the sensors, the requirements of the Explosion Protection Regulations, the Industrial Health and Safety Regulations and the Equipment Safety Regulations as well as generally accepted rules of engineer- ing and these operating instructions must be observed. Observe also the the local safety and accident prevention regulations which are not stated in these operating instructions.
The VISY-Density (LPG) module allows the determination of the product density or the sump density (level below the suction pipe) of commercially available fuels or liquefied petroleum gas. For fuel tanks the module is available as "VISY-Density" and for LPG tanks as "VISY-Density LPG“".
Complete scope of delivery of filling level sensor VISY-Density and, if required, additional floats are supplied in a carton separate from the VISY-Stick Advanced probe. For the appropriate assignment the module and probe are numbered, e.g module 1 belongs to probe 1, etc.
210 mm, the product density is determined (see Fig. 1). (9) Remove the transport locks (3 plastic pins) from the VISY-Density Module The float of the VISY-Density is protected by a transport lock, which consists of three lateral inserted plugs. The transport lock must be pulled out before oper- ating the VISY-Density.
All wiring operations must solely be carried out with the power disconnected. The relevant safety precautions must be adhered to for the installation in LPG tanks. The LPG tank must have been properly emptied before the VISY-Density LPG module is installed.
