Important Safety Messages

INCON 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 ammable 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.

As you read this guide, please be aware of the following symbols and their meanings:

Warning

Caution

Danger

Warning

This symbol identies 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.

This symbol identies an electrical danger. An electrical danger sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially hazardous situation involving large amounts of electricity may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous situation may involve the possibility of electrocution, severe bodily harm, or even death.

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 re from a spark can result if the electrical circuit breakers are accidentally turned on during installation or servicing. Please refer to the Installation and Owner’s Manual 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.

Warning

When the Fuel Management System system is used to monitor tanks containing gasoline or other ammable substances, you may create an explosion hazard if you do not follow the requirements in this manual carefully.

All wiring from probes or sensors to the console must be run in conduit separate from all other wiring. Failure to do so will create an explosion hazard.

Product Overview and Theory of Operation

The TS-RA1, and TS-RA2 are remote audible and visual alarm units that are used with Fuel Management System consoles.

The TS-RA1, TS-RA2, and the TS-RK Tank Overll Alarm and Alarm Acknowledge units are mounted near the tank lling site. If the tank product level reaches the FMS overll alarm setpoint, then the Tank Overll Alarm will become active. An active Tank Overll Alarm alerts the tank lling attendant to immediately stop the lling operation before a spill occurs. The TS-RK is an optional remote alarm acknowledge unit. This unit gives the tank lling attendant the means to silence a Tank Overll Alarm at the lling site. The TS-RK is required when a TS-RA1 or TS-RA2 is connected to a T5 series Fuel Management System console or a Colibri Automatic Tank Monitor.

When in an alarm condition, depressing the acknowledge button on the TS-RK will silence the Tank Overll Alarm at the tank lling site.

Alarm Specications

The TS-RA1 is a standard intensity, remote alarm device that has a useful signal range up to 50 feet.

Ratings

Input Power 115 VAC (96 to 132vac), 60Hz @ 0.125 amps Maximum

Operating Temperature Range –31 to 150 °F

Humidity Range Up to 95% humidity

Signal outputs Visual (low intensity incandescent lamp) & audio tone (85 dB @ 10 feet)

The TS-RA2 is alarm device that has a strobe-light, and eight user-selectable output tones with two user-selectable sound intensities. In the high-intensity mode, the TS -RA2 has a useful signal range up to 200 feet.

Ratings

Input Power 115 VAC (96 to 132vac), 60Hz @ 0.125 amps Maximum

Operating Temperature Range –31 to 150 °F

Humidity Range Up to 95% humidity

Signal outputs Visual strobe (15 Candela), and audio tone (99 dB to 75 dB @ 10 feet).

When properly installed, wired, and programmed, this alarm system will help prevent dangerous fuel spills, environmental contamination, and cleanup costs.

Installation

Overview

The mounting location of TS-RA1, TS-RA2, TS-RK units should be based on: cable run length, ease of conduit routing, alarm light visibility, alarm horn audible range limitations, and the distance away from hazardous areas. In addition, the following limitations and requirements must be met.

Figure 1: TS-RA and TS-RK Installation Overview

• The location of the Tank Overll Alarm and Alarm Acknowledge unit enclosures must be less than 1000 feet away from the 120 VAC electrical power (source) panel.

• The TS-RA1, or TS-RA2 Tank Overll Alarm unit should be mounted near the fuel tank lling area.

• The alarm light must be visible and the alarm horn must be audible at the fuel tank lling area.

•

These units should be mounted in a protected location that minimizes exposure to direct sunlight, snow and rain.

• The TS-RK Tank Overll Alarm Acknowledge unit should be accessible to the tank lling attendant. Access to the TS-RK from the lling area must be clear with no obstructions.

DO NOT install the Tank Overll Alarm, or Alarm Acknowledge units in a volatile, combustible, or

Warning

explosive atmosphere. Failure to do so may create an explosion hazard.

Warning

Run wiring from the Tank Sentinel console to the TS-RA1 / TS-RA2 Tank Overll Alarm, and TS-RK Alarm Acknowledge units in separate conduit apart from any other wiring. All conduits must enter through supplied non-intrinsically safe enclosure knockouts only. Failure to do so may create an explosion hazard.
