Tuffa FMS gauge and bund alarm (230V) - 3500 litre models and above The Fuel Level Monitoring System is a 240v combined digital tank level indicator and bund and high-level alarm that is designed to provide both visual and audible alarms whenever a predetermined level in a storage tank is reached. The FMS gives a content readout in both litres and a percentage. a. Full alarm Activation of this alarm indicates that the tank is full. This alarm is shown through visual LED’s and audible siren. Note: This audible and visual alarm will remain triggered for a short period of time after it sounds. The audible can be muted using the mute button on the keypad. THE PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO DISPENSE IN THIS ALARM MODE. b. High level alarm Activation of this alarm indicates the tank has reached a high capacity and close attention must be paid to the diesel inside the tank. This alarm is shown through visual LED’s and audible siren. Note: This audible and visual alarm will remain triggered for a short period of time after it sounds. The audible can be muted using the mute button on the keypad. THE PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO DISPENSE IN THIS ALARM MODE.
  • Page 31 7. OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM c. Low level alarm Activation of this alarm indicates the tank has reached a low level. This alarm is shown through visual LED’s and audible siren. Note: This audible and visual alarm will remain triggered for a short period of time after it sounds. The audible can be muted using the mute button on the keypad. THE PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO DISPENSE IN THIS ALARM MODE. d. Empty alarm Activation of this alarm indicates the tank is empty and needs filling. This alarm is shown through visual LED’s and audible siren. Note: This audible and visual alarm will remain triggered for a short period of time after it sounds. The audible can be muted using the mute button on the keypad. THE PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO DISPENSE IN THIS ALARM MODE. e. Bund alarm Activation of this alarm indicates that there is product in the bund cavity. This alarm is shown through visual LED’s and audible siren.

In the event of this it is advised the bund cavity is checked and drained as soon as practicable. f. FMS Wiring diagram...
  • Page 32 7. OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM B. Watchman Sonic 1. CHECK LEVEL, DISTANCE AND HEIGHT Ensure before you start your install that the tank the WatchmanSonic is to be fitted to is: 1. On a flat level base. 2. Within a 200 metre range from receiver position. 3. A maximum actual tank height of 3 metres. 50 metre effective range (200 metre clear line of sight). 4. Tank must be fitted in accordance with manufacturers guidelines & instructions. NB: Any radio frequency signal may be seriously inhibited if positioned underground. Please check that the transmitter / receiver link works in the desired location before installation. 2. TANK PREPARATION Please note- it is important to keep all items dry during installation. A) PRE-DRILLED TANKS. There may already be a 32mm pre-drilled opening in the tank top and possibly a tube fitted. If so, remove the cover by undoing the two screws holding it in place, and dispose of the tube in accordance with local government guidelines. NB – Ensure the hole is a minimum DIAMETER 30mm. Ensure that the space beneath the WatchmanSonic unit is free of any obstacles and that the ltrasonic beam path is clear of obstructions. (See Picture 2) B) UN-DRILLED TANKS. Where drilling is required to fit the transmitter, choose a flat level point that is at the same level and no lower than any opening at the top of the tank (filling point etc.). (See Picture 3)
  • Page 33 7. OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM The Transmitter can’t sit at an angle as this gives an incorrect level reading on the receiver. Take care not to choose an area on which water could gather i.e. a dent/depression or a position directly above any restricted area inside the tank. (See Picture 4) NB: For tanks with window corrugations or internal braces please ensure that the WatchmanSonic is not positioned above or within 15 cm of the area of the WINDOW or the edge of the tank. (See Picture 5). Ensure that the sonic path is clear to the bottom of the tank as per pic 2. Drill a hole in the place that you have selected on the tank’s top surface using a 32mm hole-saw. (shown in Picture 6) Warning: If you are unsure if you should drill the tank please check with the tank manufacturer first. 3. FITTING TRANSMITTER BASE For tanks with pre-drilled holes. Ensure guidelines from points 4 & 5 are adhered to. • Remove cap from the hole (Picture 7) and insert transmitter base, ensuring the weather seal is securely in place (Picture 8 & 9). • Tighten the WatchmanSonic base (Part E) on to the tank with 2 stainless steel self-tapping, counter sunkscrews supplied (Part C). Do not over tighten!
  • Page 34 7. OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM 4. DEFINE THE SONIC HEIGHT Accurately measure the sonic height making note of this measurement. The permissible maximum tank height is 3 metres from the base of your tank to the position of the WatchmanSonic (which should be no lower than the fill point). (Seen in Picture 10). • Height does not include the base/piers which tank sits on. 5. SETTING THE SWITCHES ON THE RECEIVER Using the tank height chart (see section 9), read across to the relevant multi switch setting using tank measurements you took down earlier. The multi switches are located in a recess at the back of the receiver above the pins. Using a screwdriver or tip of a ballpoint pen, flip the relevant switch (e.g.) upwards (= ON). NOTE: Switches 1 & 2 are factory set switches and are no relevance to the end user. If you wish to set the audible ring feature the Switch1 needs to be moved up. Switch one if set in the on (up) position will cause the unit to bleep in the event of a low level reading. 6. MATCHING RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER You should match the receiver (Part A) with the transmitter (Part D) so that the system code is unique to your tank. Plug receiver into a suitable and convenient electrical socket and switch on.
  • Page 35 7. OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM Hold the transmitter against the receiver right hand side, as shown (Picture 13), so that the white dot on the transmitter is touching the black dot on the receiver (important!) for about 20 seconds to allow unique code to be transferred. Bars will increase up the display screen and you will hear a clicking sound. When all 10 bars are shown they will flash to indicate that the unique code is transferred. When matched the transmitter must immediately be placed on the tank. • If you are installing more than one WatchmanSonic unit please wait 15 minutes between each matching. 7. FITTING THE TRANSMITTER TO THE BASE Screw the transmitter (Part D) into the base (Part E). Ensure the transmitter is vertical on top of the tank and level. Ensure that the WatchmanSonic unit is screwed correctly into the base and that the threads have not crossed, to give a secure seal.
  • Page 36 7. OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM C. Hytek battery bund / overfill alarm Battery version - Battery 3 channel alarm. - Each channel can be used as an overfill, low level or bund alarm. - High power alarm sounder. - No zenon beacon, but individual channel LED’s. - Test button checks float switches as well as batteries & sounder. - Battery life depends on number of test & alarm incidents. Power status BATTERY VERSION: The Battery LED will flash every 2 seconds to indicate that there is battery power to the unit. If the battery charge is too low, then the sounder will activate intermittently to indicate this. Alarm condition When a high or low-level alarm condition occurs the corresponding channel LED on the tank alarm lid is illuminated and the sounder/beacon will activate. The external relay will also be activated. Float switch fault indication If any of the channel LEDs flashes repeatedly then this indicates a fault with the float switch. Alarm mute Pressing the mute button for 1.5 seconds will silence the sounder when an alarm condition is occurring, the beacon will continue to flash until the alarm condition has been rectified. This will not de-activate any relays (if fitted). The relays will only be de-activated when float switch returns to its normal position. If the mute button is not depressed the sounder will silence after 20 minutes leaving the beacon and channel LED on. The channel LED will remain on until the alarm condition has been rectified (float switch returns to its normal position). Alarm test To test the Tank Alarm, push and hold the test button on the lid. If the Tank Alarm is functioning correctly the sounder should activate, the beacon will flash (if fitted) and all activated channel LEDs will illuminate.
  • Page 37 7. OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM If any of the channel LEDs flashes repeatedly then this indicates a fault with the float switch. Battery version: If no sounder is heard and no channel LED’s illuminate, check batteries and change as necessary. NB: Always push the Tank Alarm test button before filling the tank.

  • Page 38 7. OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM D. Tank top Installing the Tanktop THE TANKTOP MUST BE FITTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A DEAERATOR OR AN OIL LIFTER Fitting on a Plastic Tank (If the plastic tank has a moulded 1” insert, use the steel tank fitting instructions above). 1. Drill a 30mm hole in a flat area on top of the primary tank. 2. Thread the float and suction pipe through the 30mm hole. 3. Orientate the 10mm hydraulic or compression fitting to the desired pipe direction, screw the 3 legs down with the screws provided. 4. Cut the 10mm oil line to be used, with a tube cutter NOT a hacksaw. 5. Insert the 10mm pipe into the hydraulic or compression fitting (if using compression fittings make sure a support tube is used) making sure the pipe is fully home. 6. Having fitted all ancillary equipment in the line (using support tubes in all joints) to the pressure jet burner (including a de-aerator and the bypass screw in the burner pump) fire up the burner. The burner should be able to pull the fuel through but if the pipe is long with a lift to the burner the prime button can be pressed whilst the burner is running to open all the Tanktop valves. This will bypass the anti-siphon valve making it easier for the burner to prime the line. TIP: Always use support tubes TM4172 inside soft copper oil lines to ensure air tight joints when using compression joints. Fitting on a Steel Tank 1. With the back nut still on, dress the Tanktop 1” BSP thread with PTFE tape.Thread the float and suction pipe through the 1” BSPP nipple on the top of the tank and screw home. 2. Position the Tanktop so the oil line fitting is pointing in the desired direction and nip the back nut down onto the tank nipple.
