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. The liquid level is determined by sensing the position of a magnetic
float using a series of reed switches arranged in a vertical sensing bar. This
technology has no moving parts except for the float, and can operate over
a range of product temperatures from -40°C to +90°C (-40°F to +194°F).
The 808-P2 has been designed to withstand the vibration and shock
encountered in mobile applications. The components are weatherproof,
and the sender bar in the tank can withstand steaming temperatures. The
808-P2 operates entirely on internal batteries, with 12 volt truck power
only being used to operate the back light (external alarms will require
truck power).
The 808-P2 can display in any units, such as inches of level, gallons, barrels,
or cubic metres of volume. It has two alarm outputs, one horn warning and
one shutdown. These outputs have self-resetting bypass functionality for
high level loading control.
In addition, the gauge can send data to the SpillStop ™ and SeeLeveL
Access™ systems.
The SeeLeveL ™ 817-USB Truck Gauge Programmer is used to program the
808-P2 to read the desired calibration units, and to set the alarm points.
The programmer is designed to be easily operated by people unfamiliar
with electronics or computers.
