6. Trim wire / cables to a 6 or 8 inch (15 or 20 cm)

service-loop, and splice the sensor and console

cable / wires together as shown in Figure 3.

7. Power up console for next step.
8. Test sensor (verify that an alarm is produced at ATG

console), if it does produce an alarm, seal EYS seal

fittings and electrical connectors with epoxy.

9. Turn off power again if other devices are to be

installed (Repeat Step 3).

10. Reinstall all safety covers and guards, junction

box gasket and covers – use pipe-dope to seal all

fitting threads.

11. Install the manhole cover.
12. Record the location where the sensor was

installed on the chart on the last page of these

instructions.

13. Turn on power and program the alarm console .

General Installation Notes

It is the installer’s responsibility to

comply with all applicable federal, state

and local codes. Failure to do so may

create an Environmental Hazard.

Plan your conduit routing. Dig trenches as needed to install

conduit from each manhole junction box to the Intrinsically

Safe (I.S.) knockouts at the alarm console. The conduit

may enter the manhole either from its bottom or through its

side. A junction box inside of the building can be used as a

pull box to combine several sensor cables. If this is done,

then only one I.S. conduit knockout will be used.

Conduits must have EYS seal fittings

installed in accordance with NFPA

70 (National Electric Code) and NFPA

30A (Automotive and Marine Service

Station Code). Failure to seal conduits in

accordance with NFPA 30A, and NFPA 70

could allow flammable vapors to travel

through the conduit in the ATG console.

An explosion could result causing

serious injury, property loss, or death.

You must install a weatherproof, electrical junction

box inside each manhole. The junction box should be

installed high on the manhole wall to prevent it from being

submerged during heavy rains.

Seal all threaded fittings and conduit

threads to produce a weatherproof seal

during installation/maintenance.

Note: 2-wire sensor wire may

be Red and Black. Attach the

red sensor wire to the white

cable wire.

Figure 3: TSP-HFS Wiring

Refer to the console installation manual and see Figure 3

(above) for sensor wiring details. Two-wire sensor cable

does not have a red (power) conductor, therefore, the red

sensor wire should be spliced with the white cable wire. If

a 3-conductor Alpha cable is used, the red conductor can

be clipped or taped back on both ends.
