Page 3: Chapter 1 - Overview
CHAPTER 1 - OVERVIEW Congratulations on purchasing the Garnet Instruments SeeLeveL Special ™ Tank Truck Level Gauge model 808-P2. The 808-P2 represents the state of the art in liquid level measurement equipment for transport applications. The 808-P2 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 - Enhanced Alarm Features Version
CHAPTER 2 - ENHANCED ALARM FEATURES VERSION he 808-P2 has some enhancements over the 808PA 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 8. The display has the ability to drive a remote transmitter for applications which require the transfer of the data from the gauge to another piece of equipment. 9. The density of the product can be entered into the gauge to enhance measurement accuracy.
Page 6: Chapter 3 - Gauge Description
The display has a SpillStop transmitter for direct connection to a Garnet 815 SpillStop ™ or 815-UHP SpillStop Ultra™ controller. The transmitter operates in accordance with the programmed alarm points 1, 2, and 3.
Page 7 The display has two alarm outputs, one is a horn warning and the other is a shutdown. These outputs are transistors which complete a circuit to ground when turned on. To take advantage of the automatic warning and shutdown capability, program the alarms as follows: Not used here, for SpillStop applications only Program as a shutdown alarm where you want the warning horn to...
Page 8 Installation of the gauge consists of cutting a hole in the top of the tank and welding in a 1 inch coupler, and welding an anchor assembly to the bottom of the tank. The sender bar is cut to length, the end is sealed, and it is inserted from the top of the tank and fastened at the top with a compression fitting.
Page 9: Chapter 4 - Unique Features
CHAPTER 4 - UNIQUE FEATURES he SeeLeveL gauge has been designed for maximum ease of installation and servicing, and for 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 11: 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 19: 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 21 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, with the hole in the magnet facing left and right, not up and down.
Page 22 6. If no further action is taken, the display will revert to normal operation after about 5 seconds with no change in the float programming. This is useful if you just want to check the current float programming. 7. To change the float programming, press and release the button before the 5 second time expires, otherwise start again at step 3.
Page 23: Chapter 8 - 808-P2 Programming Instructions
The display must be showing “no L” in order to set the mode. 4. Hold the magnet next to the display face by the “G” in Garnet. 5. Within a couple of seconds, the display will show the software revision, for example 8.18.
Page 24 8. If the magnet is held in place the software revision number, which is useful for checking the generation of display will be shown again. Remove the magnet to resume normal operation. Removing the magnet at any time other than when “P1-X” is shown will result in no change to the mode.
Page 25 8. Make sure that the fibre from the sender bar is connected to the gauge display, and plug the programmer plug into the gauge display. Press the BAR button. The INCHES display should show some inch reading, if it shows “no L” or “bad L’ check the fibre connection and the bar mode (1/3 or 1/6 inch).
Page 26 6. Starting at the 0 inch value of volume calibration, use the 0 to 9, decimal, E, F, L, U, or BL buttons on the keypad to enter the calibration. Press the ENTER button to store the value in memory. When ENTER is pressed, the inches will go to the next value.
Page 27: Chapter 9 - Troubleshooting Guide
CHAPTER 9 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE here are only 4 serviceable components in the gauge: the float, the sender bar, the interconnecting fiber optic cable, and the display. If the float is sunk, the display will read the bottom tank reading all the time.
Page 28 4. If a programmer is not available, a quick test can be made of the bar by jumpering the two top pins on the programming plug in the display. This converts the display into reading raw inches only, the calibration is ignored.
Page 29 4. If only the alarms do not work then copy the calibration into the 817-USB to check if the points are programmed. If they are then connect a fiber from the 817-USB OPTICAL OUTPUT to the display optical connector. Connect the positive terminal of an ohm meter to the alarm wire, and the negative terminal of the ohm meter to the ground (green) wire.
