2 Mechanical Installation
Mechanical Installation Sequence:
Follow the instructions here to mount the LS300 Auto-Learn console and to install the LSU300 Leak
Sensing Unit transducers, and Needle Valves at each STP containment sump (see Figure 2.2 for
typical finished installation). Be sure to ask the electrician to do any “electrical” type of work when
appropriate.
1.) Mount the LS300 Console on a vertical surface using appropriate fasteners, level, and between 2
feet (0.6 m) and 6 feet (1.9 m) high for use (see Figure 2-1 and make allowances for conduit runs
and fittings at the left, right and bottom sides)
The LS300 AutoLearn console must be located in a pollution degree 2 environment per IEC60664 in
contries requiring CE compliance.
2.) At the electrical power panel: locked-out & Tag POWER OFF for the STP’s, Pump Controllers, and
Dispensers
DANGER Electronic line leak detectors start submersible pumps automatically to run leak-tests
at full line pressure. Automatic pump starts occur between periods of product dispensing when there
is no product being dispensed. BEFORE performing any installation or service (such as
replacing fuel-filters) – tag and lockout all electrical power sources to the submersible
pump(s), pump controllers, and dispensers and relieve fuel-line pressure. Failure to turn off
power and relieve fuel-line pressure before work is started can result in: pressurized fuel
spills (an environmental hazard associated with costly cleanups), and fire or explosion hazard
that may result in injury or death.
WARNING Avoid personnel injury or property damage: ALWAYS secure the hazardous work area
from moving vehicles. This equipment is usually mounted underground, therefore, reduced visibility
puts service personnel working on this equipment in danger from moving vehicles entering the work
area. Use Safety Cones, Barricades, Warning Signs, and Safety Tape, and block access with
Barricades / service vehicles to the work area to avoid injury or property damage.
3.) Relieve pipeline pressure to 0 psi per manufacturers recommendation and capture any product that
escapes or use absorbent rags to clean up any product spills and dispose of properly (FE Petro
Pumps: open Manual Pressure Relief valve / MPR valve... Red Jacket Pumps: Turn Functional
Adjustment element to 0 psi, if no adjustment exists – remove and replace with an adjustable
functional element)
WARNING The fuel line from the submersible pump to the dispenser, may be under pressure.
Turn off all pump power and relieve pipeline pressure (reference and follow the pump manufacturer’s
directions about how to do this). If the line leak detector/plug (or any other part of the submersible
pump and fuel line) is removed without first relieving pressure, then a product leak will occur. This
could cause an environmental, fire, or explosion hazard, and may result in injury or death.
