Basic safety instructions Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83B
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.
Endress+Hauser can be contacted to provide support in performing this task.
2.3 Designated use
2.3.1 Applications
Inventory control
By using Tankvision Multi Scan to monitor the tank level and stored volume of valuable
liquids remotely, owners or operators of tank farms or terminals for petroleum products and
chemicals (liquids) can visualize the volume of the stored medium in real time. The data can
be used to plan the inventory and distribution. The data can also be used to manage tank
farm operations like pumping or transferring products. Tankvision has its unique concept
using network technology. Without using proprietary software, the users can visualize and
manage their valuable liquids stored in the tanks by a web browser. Tankvision Multi Scan
is a flexible and cost effective solution due to its scalable architecture. The application
coverage goes from small depots with only a few tanks up to refineries.
Inventory Calculations
Tankvision Multi Scan calculates based on measured variables and tank capacity tables:
• Observed/Gross volumes,
•Net volumes and
•Mass
6 Endress+Hauser
Page 7
Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83B Basic safety instructions
of products like
• Hydrocarbons,
• Liquefied gases,
• Asphalt.
They are corrected according to international standards, including API/ASTM tables 5A,
5B/6, 53A, 53B/54, 23/24, LPG.
This includes temperature corrections at 15 °C, 60 °F and alternative temperatures.
Additionally, available pumpable volumes and water volume are calculated.
Remote configuration of measuring equipment
Some on-site operations can be avoided using remote configuration of measuring equipment
during commissioning or maintenance (the availability of this feature may depend on the
system configuration).
Application areas
• Tank farms in refineries
• Ship loading terminals
• Marketing and distribution terminals
• Pipeline terminals
• Logistic terminals for tanks storing products like crude oils, refined white and black
products, chemicals, LPG
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.
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,

Introduction Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83B
3Introduction
The Multi Scan NXA83B is a configurable system designed for tank gauging and tank
inventory management systems. It has been designed to fulfill a number of requirements
some of which are listed below:
• Act as a foreign device gateway; allowing old legacy equipment and devices with
proprietary interfaces to interface with modern devices using OPC and Ethernet
Technology.
• To provide a complete tank gauging and tank inventory management system for small
sites. It can interface directly with a wide variety of tank gauging devices and provide a
number of communication links to host devices. The NXA83B polls the field instruments
maintaining an in-memory database of live and calculated data whilst also being able to
service host computers for data.
• It can provide up to 8 serial interfaces, capable of supporting a range of different electrical
interfaces such as RS232, RS485, BPM, Current Loop etc.
• An Ethernet port and two USB ports are also provided.
• The NXA83B is available with a 7 in Widescreen LCD screen built into the front of the
device, with navigation via a touch screen.
Two versions of the Multi Scan NXA83B are available, Wall Mount and 19 in Rack Mount.
Each of these are available with or without the built in touchscreen.
For a Multi Scan NXA83B with no screen, ignore all sections of the manual that deal with
the screen.

4.1 Mechanical Installation
The Multi Scan NXA83B is available in two different enclosures - Wall Mount or 19 in Rack
Mount.
All versions of the Multi Scan NXA83B are intended for installation within a building and
should not be mounted in hazardous areas.
4.1.1 Rack Mount
The Rack mount version is housed in an aluminium 4U 19 in case, which has 4 front fixing
holes suitable for M6 bolts.
All power and signal connectors are located on the rear panel of the enclosure.

4.2 Electrical Installation
The Multi Scan NXA83B requires connection to a mains power supply with the following
characteristics:
Voltage Frequency Current Power
100 to 240 V
AC
The Multi Scan NXA83B contains a 20×5mm (0.79×0.2in) cartridge fuse protecting the
mains input. The fuse is rated at 3.15 A, time delay (antisurge/slow blow). The fuse must be
suitable for use at 240 V
The mains should be supplied with a standard IEC lead (kettle plug) and plugged into the
socket shown below. A mains switch is provided to turn power on/off to the Multi Scan
47 to 63 Hz max. 0.8 A 40 W

NXA83B. The socket, switch and fuse are found on the bottom face of the wall mount unit,
or on the rear panel of the 19 in rack unit.
There is a GREEN power indication LED which will be permanently illuminated whilst power
is applied to the Multi Scan NXA83B. The LED mounted on the same panel as the main

4.3 Network and USB connections
The Multi Scan NXA83B has one Ethernet network connector and two USB connectors
mounted on the bottom face (wall mount) or rear panel (rack mount) of the unit. For
graphics → ä 11.
The Ethernet connector accepts RJ45 network cables and has the standard PC pin
assignment. To connect directly to another PC requires a cross-over network cable, whilst to
connect to a hub, switch or similar requires a standard cable.
The network port is required to configure the Multi Scan NXA83B, using the Tankvision
Multi Scan Configurator software, via a remote desktop session. It may also be used to
connect to host systems using the Modbus TCP and datacon protocols.

4.4 Serial Ports
The Multi Scan NXA83B has eight serial ports available for connection to gauges or host
computers. These are:
•COM1 – COM8
W&M systems will use COM 8 to connect to the touchscreen.
The serial ports will use the RS232 hardware specification by default. However a range of
plug in cards is available to support other hardware interfaces.
Supported boards include:
•Old and New V1
• RS485/RS422 Modbus
• Whessoe Current Loop
•Enraf Bi Phase Mark
• Varec Mark/Space
• SAAB TRL
•L&J Tankway
Usually the interfaces will be specified at time of purchase, and the Multi Scan NXA83B will
be supplied with all required boards installed.
All serial ports are located on the Bottom face (wall mount) or Rear panel (rack mount) of
the unit. Only ports that have been purchased (and licensed) will have connectors, all other
ports will be fitted with blanking plates.
4.5 LED Module
The Multi Scan NXA83B has an LED module which consists of a bank of eight pairs of LEDs,
one pair for each of the serial ports, to indicate communication activity. One LED is transmit
and the other one is receive.
Each pair of LEDs has a serial connector from the RS232 port on the mother board, and
another going to the interface board.
