Introduction National Electrical Code Compliance

National Electrical Code Compliance

The following information is for general reference and is not intended to replace recommended National Electric Code (NEC) procedures. It is important for the installer to understand that electrical equipment and wiring located in Class I, Division 1 and 2 installations shall comply with the latest appropriate Articles found in the National Electric Code (NFPA 70), the Automotive and Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A), CEC codes and all applicable local codes.

PROBE- AND SENSOR-TO-CONSOLE WIRING

Wire Type

To ensure the best operating systems available, Veeder-Root REQUIRES the use of shielded cable for all probes and sensors regardless of conduit material or application. In these installations, shielded cable must be rated less than 100 picofarad per foot and be manufactured with a material suitable for the environment, such as Carol™ C2534 or Belden™ 88760, 8760, 8770 or similar.

Note: Throughout this manual, when mentioning any cable or wire being used for probe and sensor to console wiring, it will be referring to shielded cable.

Wire Length

Improper system operation could result in undetected potential environmental and health hazards if the probe- or sensor-to-console wire runs exceed 1000 feet. Wire runs must be less than 1000 feet to meet intrinsic safety requirements.

Wire Gauges - Color coded

Shielded cable must be used in all installations. Sensor-to-console wires should be #14-#18 AWG stranded copper wire and installed as Class 2 circuits. As an alternate method when approved by the local authority having jurisdiction, #22 AWG wire such as Belden 88761 may be suitable in installations with the following provisions:

• Wire run is less than 750 feet

• Capacitance does not exceed 100 pF/foot

• Inductance does not exceed 0.2 H/foot

POWER WIRING

Wires carrying 120 or 240 Vac from the power panel to the console should be #14 AWG (or larger) copper wire for line, neutral and chassis ground (3); and #12 AWG copper wire for barrier ground.

Console Installation

Locating the Console

WARNI NG

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ENVIRONMENT, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Explosive vapors or flammable liquids could be present near locations where fuels are stored or being dispensed.

This console is not explosion proof. Do not install this console in a volatile, combustible, or explosive atmosphere.

An explosion or fire resulting in serious injury or death, property loss and equipment damage could occur if the console is installed in a volatile, combustible or explosive atmosphere (Class I, Division 1 or 2).

Select a mounting location on the inside of any building. The console must be protected from severe vibration, extremes in temperature and humidity, rain, and other conditions that could harm computerized electronic equipment. The console’s operating temperature range is 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C), and its storage temperature range is -40 to +162°F (-40 to +74°C).

The mounting surface should be strong enough to support the console’s weight which could be approximately 35 pounds with a full complement of modules. You should also consider wall space for routing the power wiring conduits and probe and sensor wiring conduits that must be connected to the console.

Mounting the Console

Install the console fastening devices to the mounting surface using the hole pattern shown in Figure 1. Up to 1/4” diameter screws may be used.

Mount the console to the mounting surface using the four mounting flanges on the back of the unit. Install metal conduit between the console and the power panel. Figure 1 shows the two designated knockouts through which power wiring can safely enter the console.

Wiring the Console

WARNI NG

This console contains high voltages which can be lethal. It is also connected to low power devices that must be kept intrinsically safe.

1. Do not connect the console AC power supply wires at the breaker until all devices are installed.

2. Attach conduit from the power panel to the console's Power Area knockouts only.

Connecting power wires to a live circuit can cause electrical shock that may result in serious injury or death.

Routing conduit for power wires into the intrinsically safe compartment can result in fire or explosion resulting in serious injury or death.

1. Check the Input Power Rating on the label affixed to the underside of the console to verify whether input power requirements are 120 Vac or 240 Vac.

2. Pull three #14 AWG or larger color-coded wires for AC line (hot), AC neutral and chassis ground between the power panel and the console.

3. Pull one wire, with a minimum 90°C rating, for barrier ground - For UL/cUL installations use a # 12 AWG wire; For ATEX/IECEx installations use a 4 mm

4. Connect the input 120 or 240 Vac power wires as shown in Figure 2.

Modifying an Existing Metal Cap

In order to ensure that the riser cap seals properly to the probe cable and riser, we recommend that you purchase one of the kits available for this purpose. Riser Caps from other manufacturers may require modification. If you use your own metal riser cap, you must drill and tap it for a cord grip fitting (P/N 331028-001) as follows.

1. Remove the cap to a non-hazardous location.

2. Drill and tap the cap for a 1/2”-14 NPT cord grip thread [Figure 8].

1. Turn OFF power to the console.

2. Remove any sludge from the bottom of the tank.

3. Check that floats, boot, and cable are assembled correctly on probe (ref. Mag Probe Assembly Manual).

4. Gently slide the float(s) to the bottom of the probe shaft before raising the probe. Carefully lower the probe into the riser pipe until the boot rests on the bottom of the tank [See Figure 9 for UST installation or Figure 10 for AST installation].

WARNING! Handle probes carefully. Striking or dropping the probe will result in loss of calibration and damage to the probe.

UST RISER CAP ATTACHMENT

1. If you are using the one piece cap (see Figure 6 on page 9), push the end of the probe cable through the cord grip bushing and nut on the cap, leaving a minimal amount of slack between the probe and cap. Screw the cap onto the riser by hand until the gasket first contacts the pipe. Then lightly tap the cap with a hammer to tighten it an additional 3/4 turn. Go to Step 3.

3. Make sure there is a minimal amount of slack between the probe and cap, then tighten the cord grip nut until the cable is held firmly. Push the end of the cable through the field J-box cord grip, then tighten that cord grip nut as well. Splice and seal the wires in the J-box.

AST RISER CAP ATTACHMENT

1. If you are using the one piece cap (see Figure 6 on page 9), push the end of the probe cable through the cap and cord grip bushing, leaving a minimal amount of slack between the probe and cap. Discard the cord grip nut and attach the adapter Nut from the AST kit to the cap (see Figure 3 on page 6). Tighten the adapter Nut until the cable is held firmly. Go to Step 3.

2. If you are installing the metal cap and ring (see Figure 7 on page 10), screw the ring onto the 4” riser until the gasket contacts the pipe, then use a pipe wrench to tighten it an additional 3/4 turn. Using UL-classified pipe sealant (suitable for the fuels involved), screw the cord grip fitting into the tapped hole and tighten. Place the cord grip bushing in the fitting. Discard the cord grip nut and loosely screw the adapter Nut from the AST kit onto the cord grip fitting (see Figure 3 on page 6). Push the cable through the metal cap, bushing, and adapter nut, then clamp the cap onto the ring. Make sure there is a minimal amount of slack between the probe and cap, then tighten the adapter Nut until the cable is held firmly.

3. Next assemble the liquidtight connectors on both ends of the flexible conduit as shown in Figure 3. Push the cable through the flexible conduit assembly and into the J-box. Connect the flexible conduit assembly to the adapter Nut on one end and the J-box on the other.

4. Tighten the fittings until snug. Splice and seal the wires in the J-box.

UST Installation - Vapor Extractor Riser W/ Coupling Adapter

This type installation is usually a retrofit and is usually connected to the console via direct burial cabling. The site should already be prepped (all digging, saw cutting, and jackhammering done) prior to probe installation (see Figure 12). A piece of flex conduit should be in place as shown to protect the cable.

Figure 12. Vapor Extractor Cabling Entry

1. Remove any existing hardware from the Vapor Extractor Riser so that it’s 4” NPT riser threads are exposed.

Page 18

Mag Probe Installation UST Installation - Vapor Extractor Riser W/ Coupling Adapter

2. Use the extractor wrench tool (OPW Part Number: 89-0044) to remove the Ball Float Check Valve and Extractor Cage inside the bottom of the 4” riser. Important! - Ball Float Check Valve and Extractor Cage may be difficult to remove; use caution.

3. Remove any sludge from the bottom of the tank.

4. Assemble the probe floats, spacer rings, and cable as per the Mag Probe Assembly Manual.

5. Gently slide the float(s) to the bottom of the probe shaft. Important! - Handle probes carefully. Striking or dropping the probe will result in loss of calibration and could cause permanent damage.

6. Carefully lower the probe into the riser pipe until the boot rests on the bottom of the tank.

7. Thread the probe cable through the bottom of the new Coupling adapter and out the tapped opening in its side.

8. Screw the Coupling Adapter onto the 4” riser until the gasket first contacts the riser pipe. Then use a pipe wrench to tighten the Coupling Adapter an additional 3/4 turn.

9. Test pull the cable to insure that it is free of spring and that the probe is resting on the bottom of the tank. (Make sure there is some slack in the cable.)

10. Slip the PG7 cord grip fitting (o-ring end first) over the cable and screw it into the tapped hole in the Coupling Adapter (ref Figure 4 on page 7 for the correct PG7 cord grip assembly). Tighten snugly - Be careful not to overtighten. Slide the domed nut of the PG7 fitting down the cable and tighten securely onto the PG7 fitting so that the cable stays firmly in place. Again, be careful not to overtighten.

11. Reattach the riser cap from the original installation onto the Coupling Adapter.

12. Position the Shield-Fitting over the PG7 cord grip and secure with the hose clamp (see Figure 13 on page 15).

13. Splice the probe cable to the direct burial cable and seal following instructions shipped with the splice kit. Observe polarity!

14. Secure splice enclosure against the Shield-Fitting with the tie wrap.

WARNING! If Ball Float Check Valve was part of your Overfill Protection System, you now need to consider another form of overfill protection (i.e. TLS console alarm, drop tube with overfill protection valve or some other accepted means).

This type installation is usually a retrofit and is usually connected to the console via direct burial cabling. The site should already be prepped (all digging, saw cutting, and jackhammering done) prior to Probe Installation (see Figure 12 on page 13). A piece of flex conduit should be in place as shown to protect the cable.

1. Remove any existing hardware from the Vapor Extractor Riser so that it’s 4” NPT riser threads are exposed.

3. Remove any sludge from the bottom of the tank.

4. Assemble the probe floats, spacer rings, and cable as per the Mag Probe Assembly Manual.

6. Carefully lower the probe into the riser pipe until the boot rests on the bottom of the tank.

7. Ensure that the cord grip nut on the new cap is loose so that the bushing can rotate freely.

8. Thread the probe cable through the bushing and nut on the cap, leaving a minimal amount of slack between the probe and cap.

9. Install the cap onto the riser, threading it by hand until the gasket first contacts the riser pipe. Then lightly tap the cap with a hammer to tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.

10. Splice the probe cable to the direct burial cable and seal following instructions shipped with the splice kit. Observe polarity!

11. Bring the cable down the side of riser and secure into place with the tie wrap.

Probe and Sensor Conduit Installation

WARNI NG

Probes and sensors operate in areas where flammable liquids and explosive vapors may be present.

Improper installation may result in fire or explosion causing serious injury or death. Practice the following:

1. Read thoroughly and follow the instructions shipped with each probe and sensor.

2. Probe and sensor wiring conduit must not contain any other wires.

3. Probe and sensor wiring and conduits must enter the console only through their designated areas.

4. Power and communication wires must not enter the intrinsically safe compartment of the console.

Wiring Run Methods

Two wiring run methods are commonly used for probes and sensors - Wiring pulled through buried, sealed 1/2” conduit; or direct burial cable. NOTE: PVC conduit is an acceptable alternate where accepted by local codes [ref. “National Electrical Code Compliance” on page 2 for more detail on cable requirements].

BURIED RIGID CONDUIT

The preferred method, especially in new sites before driveway surfaces are paved, is to pull probe and sensor wiring through buried 1/2” rigid conduit [Figure 15].

Pull two console and the junction box at each

or three conductors shielded cable (as required). Individual wires should be color-coded between the

probe and sensor location (do not gang wires together, i.e., splicing all sump sensor + wires together to run one wire back to console). Use single lengths of wire with no splices to ensure optimum signal strength.

Probe and Sensor Conduit Installation Wiring Run Methods

CAUTION: Since wires for multiple sensors may enter the console through a single conduit, it is recommended that you use a different color-code for each wire or individually mark each wire to identify sensor inputs. Also, if the intrinsically safe wires enter the building in a wiring trough, only Veeder-Root intrinsically safe wire can be in the trough. Keep all low power (intrinsically safe) wiring isolated from high power wires in all wiring troughs.

DIRECT BURIAL CABLE

An alternative to trenching through existing pavement is to use direct burial cable. Before considering the direct burial method, check to be sure that direct burial practices are acceptable at this location. The direct burial method requires grinding using an abrasive wheel, a 1/4” to 3/8” wide by 1-1/4” deep groove (adding 1/4” of depth for each additional cable) in the pavement surface, laying Veeder-Root supplied direct burial cable down in the bottom of the groove, laying an expanded polyethylene foam backer rod over the cable(s), and then a placing a 1/4” to 1/ 2” bead of silicone sealant over the backer rod to within a minimum of 3/8” below the pavement surface [see Figure 16].

If you decide upon the direct burial method, consult the direct burial cable installation manual for detailed installation instructions (reference manual 576013-858).
