Franklin Fueling Systems Tank Sentinel (TS-1001, 2001, 504, 508 & 750) Installation - Manual (Page 16)

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW Page 1 - 11 1
Installation Options:
RMC vs. Alternate – Direct Cable Burial Method
The requirement for, and cost of Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC), which is noted and
shown throughout this manual, can be reduced IF you use the direct burial
installation method for liquid level probe and leak detection sensor cables. Follow
the instructions explicitly in the Direct Burial Cable Installation Guide (INCON
P/N: 000-1041).
Only use the type of cables specified in the Direct Burial Installation Guide for liquid
level probes and leak detection sensors, and Do Not exceed recommended cable
lengths. Also, make sure local codes permit “direct burial” of cables.
Installation Do’s and Don’ts – DO’s
DO Read the Installation Manual carefully before starting to install the Tank
Sentinel
® system.
DO Plan and record all conduit runs to: junction boxes. Also record the types
(models) and locations of all accessories, and all sensors, before mounting
the Tank Sentinel
® console.
DO Disconnect all power before making any electrical connections.
DO Install the Tank Sentinel ® system to meet your National Electrical Code
(U.S.A. = NFPA 70), state and local electrical codes, and any applicable
safety codes, including U.S.A. – NFPA 30A.
DO Follow Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) wiring practices. All I.S. wiring must be
installed in sealed conduit. Intrinsically Safe probe, and all sensor wiring
must be separated from all other wiring.
DO Use the designated conduit “knockouts” to bring field wiring into the
console enclosure. Intrinsically safe probe, and all sensor wiring must be
isolated and run separately from all other wiring.
DO Install #12 AWG (2.0 mm) ground wires between the system safety ground
and a suitable earth ground, such as the ground bus in the electrical panel.
Smaller safety ground wiring is not acceptable.
