Basic safety instructions Tankvision Gauge Link

2 Basic safety instructions

2.1 Requirements for the personnel

The personnel for installation, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance must fulfill the following requirements:
• Trained, qualified specialists: must have a relevant qualification for this specific function and task
• Are authorized by the plant owner/operator
• Are familiar with federal/national regulations
• Before beginning work, the specialist staff must have read and understood the instructions in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation as well as in the certificates (depending on the application)
• Following instructions and basic conditions
The operating personnel must fulfill the following requirements:
• Being instructed and authorized according to the requirements of the task by the facility's owner operator
• Following the instructions in these Operating Instructions

2.2 IT security

We only provide a warranty if the device is installed and used as described in the Operating Instructions. The device is equipped with security mechanisms to protect it against any inadvertent changes to the device settings.
IT security measures in line with operators' security standards and designed to provide additional protection for the device and device data transfer must be implemented by the operators themselves.

2.3 Designated use

2.3.1 Application

The Tankvision Gauge Link is a tank gauging protocol converter to allow integration of third party gauging equipment into the Tankvision system. The Tankvision Gauge Link is available with a range of different field bus interface options. Most field bus interfaces will support connection of a number of gauges in a “multi-drop” or bus configuration. The number of gauges which may be configured in the Tankvision Gauge Link is limited to 32 (limited to 15 when used in combination with NXA820), which should be adequate for most typical tank gauging field busses, however electrical and / or protocol limitations may reduce this number. The functionality which obtains will be determined by that offered by the connected gauge(s) and the interface / protocol. Connection to the host system is via EIA/TIA-485 (formerly RS-485) Modbus. This is primarily intended for “one-to-one” connection with the Tankvision Tank Scanner or similar device. The Tankvision Gauge Link must only be used in “safe” areas where there is no hazard from the presence of potentially explosive or flammable atmospheres. The Tankvision Gauge Link has not been assessed in respect of functional safety. Accordingly it is not intended to be used as a safety critical component or part of a safety critical system or in the implementation of any safety function.

Tankvision Gauge Link Basic safety instructions

2.4 Workplace safety

For work on and with the device:
• Wear the required personal protective equipment according to federal/national regulations.
• Switch off the supply voltage before connecting the device.

2.5 Operational safety

Risk of injury!
• Operate the device in proper technical condition and fail-safe condition only.
• The operator is responsible for interference-free operation of the device.
• In normal operation the Tankvision Gauge Link contains hazardous voltages. Connectors on the front panel, accessible behind the front cover / door are “touchproof”, but care must be exercised when carrying out service work with the door open. The unit must not be operated with any other cover removed.
• If (or it is suspected that) any liquid or conductive object or debris has entered the enclosure of the Tankvision Gauge Link, the mains supply to the equipment must immediately be isolated.
Proper operation of the Tankvision Gauge Link is dependent upon correct installation and configuration. The equipment must be operated and maintained by suitably trained and competent personnel who are aware of and fully understand the instructions provided herein.
Conversions to the device
Unauthorized modifications to the device are not permitted and can lead to unforeseeable dangers
• If, despite this, modifications are required, consult with Endress+Hauser.
Repair
To ensure continued operational safety and reliability,
• Carry out repairs on the device only if they are expressly permitted.
• Observe federal/national regulations pertaining to repair of an electrical device.
• Use original spare parts and accessories from Endress+Hauser only.
The Tankvision Gauge Link contains no user-serviceable parts. Other than the mains supply fuse, the Tankvision Gauge Link contains no user replaceable parts. Any modification or repair work must only be performed by the manufacturer or its authorised agents.

2.6 Product safety

The device is designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements, has been tested and left the factory in a condition in which it is safe to operate. The device complies with the applicable standards and regulations as listed in the EC declaration of conformity and thus complies with the statutory requirements of the EG directives. Endress+Hauser confirms the successful testing of the device by affixing to it the CE mark.

5Installation

5.1 Mechanical installation/mounting

Prior to installation, visually inspect the Tankvision Gauge Link for any signs of damage. Confirm that the type label shows the correct field bus interface for the intended application.
The Tankvision Gauge Link must only be installed in a “safe” area where there is no hazard from the presence of potentially explosive or flammable atmospheres. The Tankvision Gauge Link must be installed in a cabinet or similar enclosure which provides protection against dust and water ingress. The location must also provide protection against moisture or the formation of condensation. Ensure that the temperatures likely to be encountered at the installation location lie within the relevant minimum /maximum operating and storage temperature ratings of the Tankvision Gauge Link.
The Tankvision Gauge Link should not be installed near to high voltage circuits or to cables feeding motors or other high current loads, or near to contactors, variable frequency drives, inverters or frequency converters or other switchgear / controlgear which may emit significant electromagnetic interference.
A clear space of about 50 mm (1.97 in) above and below the Tankvision Gauge Link enclosure should be allowed for ventilation. A gap of 10 mm (0.39 in) to either side of the Tankvision Gauge Link will ease mounting and opening of the front cover of the enclosure.
The enclosure of the Tankvision Gauge Link is intended to be mounted onto “top hat” DIN rail, T35 to BS EN 60715 (or BS 5584 / EN 50022 / DIN 46277-3). The rail should be mounted on a vertical surface, with the rail running horizontally, so that the Tankvision Gauge Link connection plate / access cover is to the front and in a readily accessible location. To attach the Tankvision Gauge Link to the mounting rail, first hook the enclosure over the top of the rail, then turn downwards until the spring clip on the back of the enclosure latches onto the lower edge of the mounting rail (fig. A below).

To remove the Tankvision Gauge Link from the mounting rail (fig. B above), first push the enclosure upwards against the spring clip until the body of the enclosure is released from the top of the rail, then turn the enclosure forwards, away from the mounting rail.
All electrical connections and controls are available on the front panel of the Tankvision Gauge Link in the terminal compartment, accessed by opening the front cover / door. This is hinged at the left and clicks shut. Press on the arrowed area at the right side of the door to release and open.
