Page 5: Tank Gauge Requirements
The Mag-FLEX is a digital flexible probe designed to measure product temperature, product level and water level in large storage tanks. The Mag-FLEX probes can measure liquid heights of up to 9.9 metres with TLS2 consoles and up to 22 metres with TLS-3XX and TLS4/TLS-450 consoles (reference table below). For storage vessels with maximum liquid levels up to 3.66 metres it is recommended that a Veeder-Root Mag Plus probe be used. -

908704 Fafnir BA-350 Protection Device (Surge Protector) This section details safety information that is pertinent to the Fafnir Surge Protector only. The Veeder-Root Surge Protector is certified by UL/DEMKO. The overvoltage protection device is intended to protect intrinsic safety sensor apparatus from overvoltage eventually caused by atmospheric static electricity and conveyed by the connecting cables. -
Page 15: Information On Safe Adjustment
There are no required safety adjustments. INFORMATION ON SAFE PUTTING INTO SERVICE Before putting the Mag-FLEX probe into service, double check connections and mounting. INFORMATION ON SAFE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRING In general, the equipment is maintenance free. Defective equipment must be returned to the manufacturer or one it’s representatives. -

Probe Handling It is important to handle the Mag-FLEX probe with care at all times during the installation. Avoid excessive bending of the probe especially at the points the ridged sections meet with the flexible shaft. Below you can see examples of mishandling that would cause irreversible damage to the probe and invalidate the terms of warranty. -
Page 17: System Safety Layout
Installer’s responsibility to ensure that the installation complies with all relevant local and national legislation and codes of practice. Do not run the Mag-FLEX probe cable from the tank to the TLS Console in the same cable duct as non-intrinsically safe wiring. -
Page 18: Mag-Flex Installation And Handling Procedure
Installation requires a minimum of two people to allow correct handling of the probe. Please note that the flexible and therefore fragile nature of the Mag-FLEX probe makes it more prone to mechanical shock. The probe must not be unpacked until it has been brought to its place of installation and where possible unpacked at the Tank top. The probe corrugated shaft is supplied in a 1 meter diameter coil this coil MUST not be reduced in size. -
