Page 3: Chapter 1 - Overview
CHAPTER 1 - OVERVIEW ongratulations on purchasing the Garnet Instruments Model 810-PS2 SeeLeveL Proseries™ Gauge for Trucks. The 810-PS2 represents the latest in state of the art liquid level measurement equipment for transport applications. The 810-PS2 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 - New Features Of The 810-Ps2
CHAPTER 2 - NEW FEATURES OF THE 810-PS2 he 810-PS2 has a number of enhancements over the previous 810-PS series. It uses new technology in the display to provide a number of new features: 1. The calibration memory has been changed to a flash memory device which is much more secure and does not require power to maintain the memory contents.
Page 5 5. The display is powered entirely by four “AA” penlight alkaline cells instead of a combination of a lithium battery and AA cells. This allows the end user to be able to fully service any battery problems. 6. The fiber optic connector is field replaceable, so if it is broken or fails, the display can be quickly returned to service.
Page 6: Chapter 3 - Gauge Description
CHAPTER 3 - GAUGE DESCRIPTION he 810-PS2 gauge consists of a sender bar, a donut shaped float, a fiber optic interconnect cable, and a display. The sender bar is mounted vertically in the tank with the float sliding up and down around it in accordance with the fluid level.
Page 7 The display has a SpillStop transmitter for direct connection to a Garnet 815-UHP SpillStop or 815-UHP SpillStop Ultra controller. The transmitter operates in accordance with the programmed alarm points 1, 2, and 3. This provides the user with automated horn warnings and automated control of PTO loading to prevent product spills due to inadvertent overfilling of the tank.
Page 8: Chapter 4 - Unique Features
CHAPTER 4 - UNIQUE FEATURES he 810-PS2 gauge has been designed for maximum ease of installation and servicing, and for the best operational features. The anchor at the bottom of the tank provides a shock mount for the float, and holds the float in place while the bar is removed so no tank entry is required for sender bar replacement.
Page 9 of the display enclosure also makes it easy to find an appropriate mounting location. The dual displays ensure that the gauge display is always visible, regardless of ambient lighting conditions. The use of an on-site programmer eliminates downtime waiting for factory calibration parts, and allows easy reprogramming should the need arise.
Page 10: Chapter 5 - Sender Bar Limits Of Resistivity
CHAPTER 5 - SENDER BAR LIMITS OF RESISTIVITY he temperature of the product being transported should be limited to approximately +90°C (+194°F). Damage to the float and sender bar can occur if this value is exceeded. The tube used in the manufacturing of the sender bar is seamless 316 stainless steel.

Page 14 4. Make up an anchor by cutting a 4” X 16” piece of 1/4” thick material. Bend each end down at 90 degrees (see the diagram below), so the resulting flat piece is about 4” X 10” inches with 3” sides. Drill a hole to insert a 2”ID schedule 40 pipe in the center of the plate, weld tube to plate.
Page 15 Make sure any unused holes in the enclosure are plugged. Feed the fiber optic cable through the hose, leaving about 12 inches extra at each end.  GARNET INSTRUMENTS LTD. UNITS MODEL 810...
Page 16 11. If the alarms are used, route the wires into the display enclosure. Connect the alarm wires to the gauge wires as follows: Alarm 1 is the yellow wire, Alarm 2 is the orange wire, Alarm 3 is the black wire, Alarm 4 is the red wire, Ground is the green wire, and the automatic alarm is the purple wire.

Page 18: Chapter 7 - Setting Display Density
CHAPTER 7 - SETTING DISPLAY DENSITY hen the gauge is calibrated with the correct offset, it is assumed that the density of the product is 0.90 (specific gravity is 90% of pure water). The amount that the float sinks into the product will vary somewhat with the density of the product, and hence the gauge reading will change slightly.
Page 19 Stainless Steel Truck Float Buoyancy Product Amount Level Correction (inches) Specific Float Error 1/3” 1/6” Gravity Sinks (Inches) Mode Mode (Inches) 0.60 2.92 0.97 0.65 2.69 0.75 0.70 2.50 0.56 0.75 2.33 0.39 0.80 2.19 0.24 0.85 2.06 0.11 0.90 1.94 0.00 0.95...
Page 20 “C .90” indicates a current density setting of 0.90 which is the default. Continue to hold down the button. 4. Put a magnet next to the display face by the “G” in Garnet. Page 20 810-PS2 Manual...
Page 21 1. The display will change to “PL F” or “SS F” depending on whether the display is currently programmed for a plastic or stainless steel float. When this happens, remove the magnet and release the button. 2. If no further action is taken, the display will revert to normal operation after about 5 seconds with no change in the float programming.
Page 22: Chapter 8 - 810-Ps2 Programming Instructions
The display must be showing “no L” in order to show the revision. 3. Hold the magnet next to the display face by the “G” in Garnet. 4. Within a couple of seconds, the display will show “r6.02” to show the software revision (for example, 6.02 in this case).
Page 23 5. Within a couple of seconds, the display will show “r6.02” to show the software revision (for example, 6.02 in this case). This will be shown for about 1 second then the display will show “C1-3”, “C1-4” or “C1-6” indicating the current mode that the display is set for (the “C”...

Page 25 3. Select a memory location with MEM LOC. 4. Plug the programmer plug into the gauge display to be copied from. Press the COPY button to copy the gauge calibration into memory. 5. When the operation is complete, unplug the programmer plug from the first gauge and plug it into the gauge display to be copied to.
Page 26: Chapter 9 - Troubleshooting Guide
CHAPTER 9 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE here are only 5 serviceable components in the gauge: the float, the sender bar, the interconnecting fiber optic cable, the display, and the display AA batteries. If the float is sunk, the display will read the bottom tank reading all the time.
Page 27 3. Press and hold for one second the BAR TEST button to put the programmer into the bar test mode. Verify the programmer is in the same mode as the bar being tested. The inch display will now show what the bar is putting out. Slowly run a float up the bar while watching the inch display to verify bar operation.
Page 28 3. Press the appropriate mode button to match what the display should be. Plug a piece of fiber from the OPTICAL OUTPUT of the 817 Truck Gauge Programmer to the optical connector on the display. If the display shows “no L” then it is defective and must be replaced (make sure the end of the fiber going into the display is flashing!).
