Each tank can be equipped with 3 sensors. (Note that GateWay v10 can also be made to work with switches) GateWay v10 controller is able to drive 8 magnetic valves, which can be configured to act the way that is needed on the application.
1.2. The Optic sensors The GateWay v.10.2 is designed to operate with two wire optic sensors. Every sensor needs two wires to be connected to GateWay v10-unit. The GND (ground) wire can be shared to save on the total number of the wires.
With the GateWay v10, the user can add extra safety by using additional sensors. The sensors are located slightly lower than the overfill prevention (top) sensors. With GateWay v10 unique configurable* action, the user is able to assign different properties for different situations. For example, the user in here can assign its extra sensor for magnetic valve outputs on the GateWay v10 -unit, and use them to drive bottom valves on tank compartments.
Level Monitoring System on tank truck. 2.1. General information GateWay v10 is manufactured in reinforced ATEX-certified Fibox cover, which can be installed in potentially explosive atmospheres at Zone 1 (For detailed information of the certification and allowed surroundings, refer to www.optolevel.fi...
2.3. Mounting instructions There are no pre-drilled mounting holes on the bottom of the GateWay v10-unit; however, the GateWay v10-unit must be installed trough screw places on the bottom of the unit. The GateWay v10-unit should be bolted on the metal base.
Figure 2. 3.1. Mounting information ® The Optolevel sensor is designed to be mounted with a pearl pipe set such as VSH-24-SUPER- EN1254 which is manufactured by Onninen. You can also use Wennstroms sensor cover 15-3387 and 15-3390 or can be used some other third party mounting equipment.
While placing the sensor into the pipe, the prism should be facing away from the sunlight, because sunlight might cause false detections. ® Optolevel GW10 system rev2.0 en Page 11 of 25...
In Figure 4 there is one suggestion about how to position the inlets to the GateWay v10. Amongst the installers, it has been considered a positive thing if all inlets have been fitted on the bottom side of the GateWay v10-unit.
GateWay v10-unit. GateWay v10 has a fuse build inside, but it is not replaceable on site. For this reason the power supply for the GateWay v10 -unit should include fuse of 1 Amps. The fuse should be located at the truck cabin in the fuse box.
GateWay v10-unit, else it will violate the safety approvals of the GateWay v10 product. It is suggested to be turned off the GateWay v10-unit when a) it is not in use, and b) the tank truck is in motion.

I-Current can provide 24V voltage or 156mA current. The main use for this connection is to offer ® ® safe operating voltage for Optolevel iLED or for future Optolevel released products. These are intrinsically safe (EN/IEC 60079-11) connections, which have following properties.
Co = 500µF Lo = 1H The circuit connected to these terminals should comply with demands for intrinsic safety (EN60079-11). The circuit must be separated from other non-intrinsic safe circuits. ® Optolevel GW10 system rev2.0 en Page 20 of 25...

4.11. Serial port – instructions The serial port (RS232) is used for communicating with the computer while configuring the GateWay v10-unit for use. NOTICE! Although this is an intrinsically safe connection, only it should be connected when configuring the unit. For normal use, it should be left unconnected.
The term of warranty is 18 months and starts as from the date of delivery from Optolevel. If during the term of warranty, the product fails to conform to the warranty as specified above and if the distributor is not capable of easily solving the problem, Optolevel, without undue delay after having been informed about malfunction, repair or replace the product.
The test described here should be performed at least two times a year to guarantee the safe operation. The GateWay v10 level monitoring is a safety system, so if everything works like it is supposed to, the system is never needed. This is why it is important to check the basic function of the device time to time.
