You can easily configure the DL8000 to deliver single component
liquids or to blend up to four liquid components in precise ratios, with
or without additive injection. Operator-selectable predefined delivery
control procedures (“recipes”) control the DL8000’s various possible
delivery and blending functions. Additive injection is controlled by
manual selection, recipe selection, or automatic selection from a
terminal automation system. These features allow one DL8000 and the
associated liquid delivery equipment to deliver many different
combinations of liquid products, based on requirements of the client or
receiver of the delivered product.
One common DL8000 application is to function as an on-site controller
for delivering refined liquid hydrocarbon products from loading
terminal storage tanks to mobile tanks (such as tanker trucks, rail cars,
or barges). Other applications include liquid component blending and /
or additive injection in refinery or chemical plant processes. In addition,
liquid components (with or without additive injection) can be blended
into flowing pipelines or into storage tanks. Figure 1-1 shows a typical
load rack installation with a DL8000 and associated equipment.

configuration determines the DL8000’s capacities for I/O signal
handling and the data logging/data communications.
in all hardware configurations of the DL8000. However, each unique
installation requires a specific complement of I/O modules, based on
the actual devices the DL8000 monitors and controls.
1.2 Hardware
1.2.1 Housing
The DL8000 can simultaneously monitor and control operation of up to
three flow meters, up to three flow control valves, and deliver up to four
products. The minimum configuration consists of one flow meter
measuring one component (liquid product), one control valve, one pump
start, and one permissive input. Product deliveries and component
blending deliveries are selected by up to 30 configurable recipes (batch
delivery/blending control procedures). The actual implementation of the
various possible process operations are covered in detail in other
sections of this manual.
The DL8000 has two primary physical components: the external
housing and the internal electronics. Refer to Chapter 2, Installation and Use, for details on installation.

and devices.
2.6 6BMechanical Installation
In planning the physical installation of the DL8000, consider ease of use
of the instrument with the operator in a safe and comfortable position.
Also consider how maintenance tasks may be performed without
disrupting ongoing product delivery operations in close proximity.
Drawing rough diagrams of normal operator actions during the different
possible batch delivery related tasks may be helpful. Note especially the
operator’s location in relation to the location of one or two tanker
vehicles and their related loading arm and bottom loading hose
connections.
Some location or position restrictions may be present when a DL8000 is
retrofitted or upgraded into an existing installation. However,
mechanical installation planning should still be performed. It may be
possible to correct an existing inconvenient controller mounting location
in a current loading rack installation when retrofitting a DL8000 at the
installation.
Following are the major steps performed during installation.
1. Plan the installation.
2. Fabricate device supports and lay electrical conduit.
3. Mount the DL8000 and other load rack devices.
4. Run and connect all wiring.
5. Verify and tag each wire.

injection system at a time. Then verify the piping integrity and
system operation in increments for each product and each additive
handling system.
Consider the following points during DL8000 mechanical installation
planning:
Maintenance Access
The operator panel is hinged at the bottom side and opens down for
maintenance access. Route all conduit to the rear, sides, or bottom of
the unit. Do not locate any object under the DL8000 or in front of
the conduit connections for a distance of approximately 533 mm (21
inches) below the instrument.
Mounting Height
Recommended mounting height is approximately 1.14 to 1.27
meters (45 to 50 inches) above grade to the bottom of the DL8000
case (see Figure 2-2). Mounting height determines the ease of
viewing the display panel and ease of use of the keypad.
Mounting Position
North/south/east/west orientation of the operator control panel is
somewhat predetermined by the loading facility design. Consider the
location of the operator in relation to one or two tanker vehicles
present and connected at the loading island.
Mounting Fixtures
You must fabricate mounting fixtures for the DL8000. Each
DL8000 comes with four M10-1.5 x 15 mm metric thread bolts for
mounting. You can either rear-mount or bottom-mount the DL8000,
although bottom-mounting is preferred due to the DL8000’s weight.
The mounting attachment should be a 4 mm (0.16 inch) (minimum)
thick mild steel member with four 11.5 mm (0.44 inch) diameter

holes that match the bolting pattern being used. The steel member
may be sheet, angle, channel, or another shape.
Center the forward pair of mounting screw holes in bottom-mount
fixtures no more than 19 mm (0.75 inch) from the edge. The case
has a taper to the rear. The standard case may need a shim at the rear
pair of screws to level the DL8000. Level the case to allow for the
best conduit alignment.
Special Installation Considerations
The DL8000 is designed for installation in an outdoor environment.
The instrument is weatherproof and explosion-proof in accordance
with applicable standards. Some of the following installation
suggestions concerning environmental protection describe accepted
engineering practices and should not be considered to be limitations
on the utility of the instrument.
• If the loading rack or loading island area is covered, locate the
DL8000 so that the operator is protected or partially protected
from direct rainfall.
• In tropical climates, place sunshades above the DL8000 and
other electronic instruments, such as process transmitters. Locate
sunshades to prevent direct sunlight on the instruments during
the hottest part of the day (10:00 to 15:00). Construct sunshades
of metal, fiberglass, or other suitable materials. Sunshades
should be rear-sloping to direct rain to the rear of the instrument
and away from the operator. Avoid sharp edges or corners on
sunshades to prevent injuries.
• In desert areas or areas of blowing sand, install a cover to
protect the operator control panel during idle time. Continuous
blowing sand over an extended period of time can sandblast the
display panel and pushkey legends, affecting readability.
Fabricate a cover from raw materials or use a modified NEMA 4
weatherproof enclosure with a sealed rear cutout, placing it over
the operator panel. Use care in the design of any hinged cover so
that wind gusts do not move the cover and cause injuries. Any
cover design must allow for maintenance access to the DL8000.
The operator panel is hinged to open in the down direction for
maintenance access.
• In areas of continuous high humidity, place a 76.2mm x
76.2mm (3-inch x 3-inch) desiccant pack inside the DL8000
case. Place desiccant packs so that any expansion due to
moisture absorption does not interfere with any of the equipment
or wiring inside the case. Two sources of desiccant packs are:

2.7.1 20BGeneral Considerations
Use any of three cable entries located on the bottom of the housing for
wiring access to the DL8000.
A threaded 25.4 mm (1-inch) female NPSM connection on the left
side of the unit (for AC power and control / status signals).
A spare threaded 25.4 mm (1-inch) female NPSM connection on the
right side of the unit (may be used for meter pulse wiring to
segregate meter pulse wiring from all other signals).

2.7.2 21BField Wiring Installation Guidelines:
Route external AC and DC wiring in separate conduits.
Record cable and wire routing and interconnection information to
simplify the creation of as-built documentation for the system.
Provide remote circuit breakers and optional disconnect switches for
all AC and DC power input circuits.
Follow power and signal field wiring grounding standards.
Use only stranded copper wire, equal to or of larger gauges as
indicated on the basic wiring diagrams located at the rear of this
section. Take care not to cut or weaken wire strands during the
removal of insulation.
Clearly mark all wire ends with slip-on wire tags or similar devices.
Preferably, color-code the wire tags to indicate the voltage level and
mark tags with the specific signal name.
Cut power and signal wires with an additional length of
approximately 50 mm (2 inches) for service loops to allow terminal
board and connector removal.
