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.
For safety reasons, we have taken particular care in the design of this product to limit power in the wiring to the
storage tanks and to keep that wiring physically separated from other wiring. It is your responsibility to maintain the
effectiveness of these safety features by installing this product in accordance with the instructions and warnings which
follow. Failure to do so could create danger to life and property, and result in voiding all warranties connected with these
product
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.
Warning
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. Use only non-sparking tools. Please refer to
the Installation Guide 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.
Before entering a containment sump, check for the presence of hydrocarbon vapors. If these
vapors are inhaled they could cause dizziness or unconsciousness, and, if ignited, hydrocarbon
vapors could explode causing serious injury or death. Electronic and electrical petroleum
monitoring equipment is often housed in containment sumps designed to trap hazardous liquid
spills and prevent contamination of the environment, and, as a consequence, containment sumps
can trap dangerous amounts of hydrocarbon vapors. If these vapor levels reach unsafe amounts,
ventilate the sump with fresh air. While working in the sump, periodically check the atmosphere
in the sump, if vapors reach unsafe levels, exit the sump and ventilate it before continuing
work. Always have a second person standing by for assistance when working in, or around, a
containment sump
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.
This leak detector is designed for use in specific applications and in compliance with industry
standards and practices. Using it in applications for which it was not designed or failure to follow
industry standards and practices may cause the product to malfunction or fail. The following
product information and operation instructions are particularly important.
