Safety Precaution Definitions
Caution! Damage to equipment may result if this precaution is disregarded.
Warning! Direct injury to personnel or damage to equipment which can cause injury to
personnel may result if this precaution is not followed.
Safety Precautions
Read this manual carefully and make sure you understand its contents before using this product.
Follow all instructions and safety guidelines presented in this manual when using this product.
If the user does not follow these instructions properly, Varec cannot guarantee the safety of the
system.
Note Comply with all applicable regulations, codes, and standards. For safety precautions,
the user should refer to the appropriate industry or military standards.
Caution! Electrical Hazard! Read and understand static and lightning electrical protection
and grounding described in API 2003. Make certain that the 8620 Driver Entry Terminal
(DET) installation, operation, and maintenance conforms with the practice set forth therein.
Make sure the power is turned off at the main circuit breaker or switch. The power switch
should be in the OFF position, locked, and labeled to prevent other personnel from turning
the power on during installation.
This manual provides the information needed to install, maintain, and troubleshoot the Varec
8620 Driver Entry Terminal (DET).
The 8620 DET is a field interface device designed for data entry and process management at
facility control points, such as entry and exit gates, load racks, BOL request stations, weight
scale stations, and preload stations. It features multiple interface components, such as a display,
card reader, and fingerprint scanner that can be used to enter and record pertinent information
about the operator or operation.
The 8620 DET interfaces to FuelsManager® Oil and Gas Terminal Automation Edition software.
It captures data based on the desired configuration for the specific control point application,
process, or operation. For example, it may capture driver ID for access control, truck ID for
equipment safety, and loading or company ID for product allocations. Refer to the
Software User Guide(s)
and documentation for your specific implementation.

The 8620 DET is constructed with the following assemblies as shown in Figure 1-1:
This chapter provides a site preparation checklist, safety information, unpacking instructions,
and installation instructions.
2.1Site Preparation Checklist
Before installing the 8620 DET, ensure the following items:
• The use of a protective canopy or sunshade is recommended in order to shield the
driver entry terminal from direct sun, rain, and snow
• Adequate space for installation
• The appropriate communication lines back to the FuelsManager Oil & Gas Terminal
Automation system
• Power (AC or DC)
• Grounding
• Enclosure protection, such as concrete barrier poles to prevent trucks from damaging
the unit
8620 Driver Entry Terminal
2.2General Safety Guidelines
The user shall follow safety guidelines provided by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) for additional protection. Information may also be obtained from the
following sources:
• National Electrical Code (NEC)
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
• Instrument Society of America (ISA)
• FM Approvals (FM)
• Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated (UL)
When in doubt about the safety of an area, check with the local safety authorities. Always
observe equipment labels and warning signs posted in the area.
2.3Installation Safety Guidelines
This equipment should be installed only by qualified personnel familiar with the installation of
display and monitoring equipment.
Caution should be exercised when any area that is posted or otherwise assumed to contain
hazardous gases. Always follow OSHA guidelines.
To prevent shock hazards, the housing of all units should be properly grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code. A grounding conductor should be wired to the grounding
terminal provided on the 8620 DET.
! Warning Before attempting installation of the 8620 DET, review the “General Safety
Guidelines” section above. Installation and maintenance personnel should
become familiar with any hazards present as well as any agency requirements
before working with any equipment.
Obtain a hot work permit before performing maintenance on the 8620 DET with power applied.

Preparing for Installation
2.4Unpacking
Before installing/repairing any wiring to the 8620 DET, make sure that the power is turned off
at the main circuit breaker or switch. The power switch should be locked in the OFF position and
labeled to prevent other personnel from turning the power on during installation.
Do not apply power until the 8620 DET is properly grounded.
Do not apply power unless the environment is known to be non-hazardous.
Incorrect field wiring connections can damage the 8620 DET electronics and cause system
malfunctions.
Varec’s 8620 DET(s) are shipped fully assembled and ready for installation.
To unpack the 8620 DET, follow the steps below:
1.Place the shipping container on a secure bench.
2.Open the shipping container, taking care not to damage the contents.
3.Carefully remove the 8620 DET from the shipping container and place it on the bench.
4.Inspect the 8620 DET for shipping damage. Report any damage to the carrier and Varec.
2.5Installation
Note If the 8620 DET must be stored prior to installation, it should be repacked in its ship-
ping container and stored in a temperature-and-humidity-controlled environment.
To install the 8620 DET, follow the steps below:
1.Verify proper 8620 DET configuration for the RS-232, RS-422/485, or Ethernet protocol.
2.Ensure proper grounding of the 8620 DET.
3.Ensure proper mounting of the 8630 DET. Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 7 for dimensions
and mounting holes.
4.Based on the application (trucks, cars, and pedestrians), ensure that the 8620 DET can be
mounted at a suitable height.
5.Install proper mounting hardware (pole, stand, or wall).
6.Install the 8620 DET to the mounting hardware. The mounting hardware must be capable
of supporting the 8620 DET. If mounted to a wall with stud framing, make sure the fasteners are securely mounted into the studs.
7.Run the conduit and wiring to the 8620 DET. To maintain the Ingress Protection rating of
the 8620 DET, waterproof conduit connections must be used.
8.Power up and verify communications.
Note Quality electrical wiring is necessary for proper operation. Poor quality electrical wiring may cause a drop in the supply voltage. For DC-powered units, verify that the voltage
at the DET during startup and operation is within the recommended operating voltage range
of 24 to 48 VDC.
