Important Safety Messages
FFS equipment is designed to be installed in association with volatile hydrocarbon liquids such as gasoline and diesel
fuel. Installing or working on this equipment means working in an environment in which these highly flammable liquids
may be present. Working in such a hazardous environment presents a risk of severe injury or death if these instructions
and standard industry practices are not followed. Read and follow all instructions thoroughly before installing or working
on this, or any other related, equipment.
As you read this guide, please be aware of the following symbols and their meanings:
This symbol identifies a warning. A warning sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially
hazardous situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous
situation may involve the possibility of severe bodily harm or even death.
This is a caution symbol. A caution sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially hazardous
environmental situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially
hazardous environmental situation may involve the leakage of fuel from equipment that could severely harm
the environment.
This symbol identifies an electrical danger. An electrical danger sign will appear in the text of this document
when a potentially hazardous situation involving large amounts of electricity may arise if the instructions that
follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous situation may involve the possibility of electrocution,
severe bodily harm, or even death.
Alarms and warnings are designed to alert you with specific details when a problem occurs so you can
take appropriate corrective action. System hardware failure warnings, tank related alarms, leak detection
sensor alarms, and line leak alarms can be custom programmed to do many things. The events that require
programming are denoted by a (p) below:
- cause the red Alarm light or yellow Warning light to flash (standard)
- activate / sound the console annunciator alarm horn (p)
- activate internal output relays for external alarm devices (p)
- print alarm reports automatically, either locally (internal printer), or remotely (USB - HP compatible printer) (p)
- send alarm and test reports to a specified e-mail address (p)
- send reports to remote location(s), via internal data/fax modem (p)
Warning
Danger
Caution
Follow all applicable codes governing the installation and servicing of this product and the
entire system. Always lock out and tag electrical circuit breakers while installing or servicing
this equipment and any related equipment. A potentially lethal electrical shock hazard and the
possibility of an explosion or fire from a spark can result if the electrical circuit breakers are
accidentally turned on during installation or servicing. Please refer to the Installation and Owner’s
Manual for this equipment, and the appropriate documentation for any other related equipment, for
complete installation and safety information.
Follow all federal, state and local laws governing the installation of this product and its associated
systems. When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A and 70 from the National Fire
Protection Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious
property damage and/or environmental contamination.
Always secure the work area from moving vehicles. The equipment in this manual is usually
mounted underground, so reduced visibility puts service personnel working on this equipment in
danger from moving vehicles entering the work area. To help eliminate these unsafe conditions,
secure the area by using a service truck to block access to the work environment, or by using any
other reasonable means available to ensure the safety of service personnel.
When the Fuel Management System is used to monitor tanks containing gasoline or other
flammable substances, you may create an explosion hazard if you do not follow the requirements in
this manual carefully.
All wiring must enter the console’s enclosure through the designated knockouts. An explosion
hazard may result if other openings are used.
You must run wiring from probes or sensors to the Fuel Management System console in conduits
which are separate from all other wiring. Failure to do so will create an explosion hazard.
