- 2 - OVERPRESSURE LEAK DETECTOR DL-4000 1. Object Leak detector for double-wall tanks. 2. Type DL-4000/500 for tanks with a testing pressure of 500 mbar in the interstitial space. DL-4000/600 for tanks with a testing pressure of 600 mbar in the interstitial space. 3.
- 3 - OVERPRESSURE LEAK DETECTOR DL-4000 4. Functional description The overpressure leak detector DL-4000 monitors both walls of a tank for leaks. The monitoring pressure is so high, that leaks below or above the liquid level (stored material and groundwater) are indicated by a fall in pressure.
- 4 - OVERPRESSURE LEAK DETECTOR DL-4000 4.4. Air or liquid leak If there is a leak below or above the level of the liquid or the groundwater, air escapes from the interstitial space. The pressure falls until the overpressure pump is switched on to recreate the operating pressure.
- 5 - OVERPRESSURE LEAK DETECTOR DL-4000 (2) Heed relevant accident prevention regulations. (3) Heed explosion protections measures. 5.2. Personal protective equipment The parts listed here refer exclusively to safety during work on the equipment which could cause an explosion. If work is being carried out in areas where an explosive atmosphere is very likely, the following pieces of equipment represent the minimum requirement: •...
- 6 - OVERPRESSURE LEAK DETECTOR DL-4000 (7) Seal the protective pipe gastight. (8) Avoid electrostatic charge (e.g. when introducing and pulling through pipes). (9) For details about the connection technology refer to worksheet AB-820 500 5.5. Assembly of the drying filter (1) As near to the leak detector as possible.
- 7 - OVERPRESSURE LEAK DETECTOR DL-4000 Build up the pressure using the assembly pump via the pressure line, never via the test cock of the leak detector. Note: should the pressure not build up with the assembly pump connected, the leak must be located and eliminated (if necessary check the assembly pump for feed capacity or pressure reducer for the correct setting).
- 8 - OVERPRESSURE LEAK DETECTOR DL-4000 7.3. Use for intended purpose • Underground double-wall tanks, the side of the wall coming into contact with the stored ma- terial must be impermeable to substances which could produce potentially explosive va- pours.

(5) Test cock in position "I", remove the test pressure gauge. (6) Open all the test cocks on the distributor which have a tank connected. 7.4.5 Checking the overpressure valve using the testing device (1) If several tanks are connected via a distributor, close all the shut-off cocks on the distribu- tor.

(8) Open all the test cocks on the distributor which have a tank connected. 7.4.7 Testing the air-tightness (1) Check that all the shut-off cocks with tanks connected are open. (2) Connect the test pressure gauge to the test cock, position "III".
- 12 - OVERPRESSURE LEAK DETECTOR DL-4000 (2) Remove the lead on the "acoustic alarm" switch, turn off the acoustic alarm and inform a qualified company immediately. (3) The expert from the qualified company or the operator must establish why the alarm was triggered, eliminate the problem and then check that the leak detection system is function- ing correctly as described in section 7.4.
