Introduction
This manual describes the installation procedures for the SiteSentinel® iTouch™ Integrated Monitoring
System. Included in this manual are installation instructions for the Controller, probes and sensors.

1.1 Warnings
1.1.1 Safety

When working in an environment containing fuel and fuel vapors, there is

ALWAYS a risk of fire and explosion.
TO AVOID SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH, KEEP ALL POSSIBLE IGNITION
SOURCES AWAY FROM HAZARDOUS AREAS.
Disconnect power before installing. DO NOT install this equipment in a
volatile, combustible or explosive atmosphere (the “hazardous area” defined
in the National Electrical Code).
Certain components have DANGEROUS voltages even with the power cord
disconnected.

NOTE: Many of the procedures described in the following pages must be followed for each tank that is to be
included in the system. Please read the directions carefully before proceeding.

Improper installation may endanger installers and users of this equipment! Read these instructions
CAREFULLY.

Installers must know the requirements of intrinsically safe devices, and must strictly obey instructions in this
manual to perform a safe installation.

1.1.2 Compliance
Installation must comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA No. 70) and the Automotive and Marine
Service Station Code (NFPA No. 30A).
Follow all of your local or regional codes as well.

A fuel tank is a hazardous area as defined in the NEC. Do not mount any part of
the system, or any external devices (other than probes or sensors) within or above
the hazardous area.

1.1.3 Precision Leak Test

A precision leak test should be performed on each tank – especially older ones – before installing the
SiteSentinel iTouch. This test makes sure that leak data generated by the system is accurate and reliable. A
pressurized precision leak test can be done on a tank after the probe has been installed, but DO NOT let the
pressure exceed 20 psi.

Magnetostrictive Probe (Model 924B)

Figure 3-1 924B Probe

1.4 About the 924B Probe

The 924B probe uses magnetostrictive principles to derive product and water levels, and product temperatures.
These probes are primarily used in under-ground storage tanks for both inventory and leak detection.
Two floats can be fitted to the probe shaft: The upper (product) float sits on top of the product, and the lower
(water float) sits on the product/water boundary at the bottom of the tank.
Five temperature sensors reside in the probe shaft for measuring product temperature. They are located at
positions of approximately 10%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of the tank volume (based upon a cylindrical tank).
The sensors compensate for the expansion and contraction of the product with temperature and thus producing
net corrected product volume.

Controller Installation

Do not mount the Controller or external printer within or above the hazardous
area.

Choose a Mounting Location for the Controller and Printer. Choose an indoor mounting location where it will be
protected against moisture and extreme temperature and humidity conditions.
Wall mount the Controller at eye level close to a circuit breaker. Leave room above and below Controller for
power, probe, sensor, remote alarm, and other conduits that must be connected to the Controller.
If purchased, also leave room for the optional printer that normally mounts to the left of the Controller.

1.6 Mounting the Controller

Mount the Controller to the wall using the dimensions shown in Figure 4 on page 19. The four (4) mounting
holes are 0.80 cm (0.3125 in) diameter. Use as large a fastener as possible.

Do not drill holes in the SiteSentinel iTouch cabinet.

• 67733 Gross Point Road 900 Santa Fe Dr.

1.8 Installing the Controller Power Supply Conduit

A local circuit breaker/disconnect device must be installed close to the Controller. Run conduit from this local
breaker back to the main site distribution panel. Install 13 mm (0.5 in) rigid steel conduit from the local circuit
breaker panel to the top right Controller knockout Figure 6 below.

NOTE: The left knockout is reserved for optional external alarm wiring.

Figure 4-3 Controller Conduit Knockouts

Do not connect the Controller to equipment that exceeds the maximum ratings of
voltage and current as specified in Section 2, Specifications. Probe cables and
sensor wiring must not share conduit with any other wiring.

1.9 Wiring the Controller Power Supply

NOTE: The power supply automatically adjusts for supply voltages from 100 to 250 VAC.
1. Pull two #14 AC power wires and one #12 AWG ground wire through the conduit from the distribution
panel to the local breaker dedicated to the Controller.
2. Pull two #14 AC power wires and one #12 AWG ground wire through the conduit from the local breaker
to the controller.
3. Just enough wire through the bushing to attach to the 3-pin green terminal block located on right of the
Controller circuit board.
4. Connect AC neutral and AC hot wires (order not important) to pins 1 and 3 of the green terminal block.
Center pin is not used. Attach the cover to the terminal block.
 Doc. No.: M1500, Rev. 6
Page 18 of 127

• 67733 Gross Point Road 900 Santa Fe Dr.

5. Attach the ground wire to one of the ground terminal studs (near the top knockouts marked as ground_
and run back to the main distribution panel for connection.

NOTE: The ground wire must be #12 AWG or larger.

Some countries/states require a redundant ground wire; this should be attached to the second ground
terminal stud and run back to the main distribution panel for connection.

Power wiring must enter the Controller via the designated power conduit knockout.

Connect the power wires to a dedicated circuit.

See Specifications on page 10 for power requirements.

Protecting communication ports and ensuring site intrinsic safety for the SiteSentinel iTouch

Proper Grounding of the SiteSentinel iTouch is essential for protecting the communication ports and lessens
the risks of hazardous situations occurring when power surges or lightning strikes happen. This document
outlines the recommended practices for a safe and damage-free installation.
 Doc. No.: M1500, Rev. 6
Page 19 of 127

• 67733 Gross Point Road 900 Santa Fe Dr.

4.1.1 Grounding the SiteSentinel iTouch Tank Gauging System

There are two ground lugs within the SiteSentinel iTouch (see Figure 4-4 below). You will need to install two
continuous ground wires (green 12 AWG or larger) from both ground lugs connected back to the distribution
panel ground. The intrinsic barriers rely on these ground connections; if they are not present the barriers will
not work. The redundant ground ensures that the SiteSentinel iTouch will operate properly and safety.

Figure 4-4 SiteSentinel iTouch Controller Ground Lugs

4.1.2 SiteSentinel iTouch Port Protection

The communication ports can be damaged by ground faults within the SiteSentinel iTouch. If you are
communicating from another type of system, such as a point-of-sale (POS) system, to the SiteSentinel iTouch
and there is a slightly ground potential difference, this difference will either cause immediate failure of the
SiteSentinel iTouch, or will cause a failure over time. To eliminate this possible damage, make sure the other
equipment is grounded back to the same ground potential as the SiteSentinel iTouch at the distribution panel.
In addition, a 12 AWG or larger wire can be run from the ground lug in the SiteSentinel iTouch to the ground of
the other equipment.
OPW Fuel Management Systems can provide an external surge suppressor (Part #: 75-0104). This device will
help protect the ports from power surges or lightning strikes.

Figure 4-5 External Surge Protector

 Doc. No.: M1500, Rev. 6
Page 20 of 127

• 67733 Gross Point Road 900 Santa Fe Dr.

To install, simply insert the surge protector in series between the incoming communication lines and the I/O
port of the SiteSentinel iTouch. The surge protector ground wire must be connected to the metal chassis of the
SiteSentinel iTouch or to the ground lug within the SiteSentinel iTouch. Each port requires one surge protector.

Preparing for Probe and Sensor Installation

1.10 Probe and Sensor Wiring

5.1.1 Compliance
Installation of this equipment must be in accordance with all Local, State and Federal regulations pertaining to
this type of equipment including, but not limited to, the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 and he
Automotive and Marine Service Station Code, NFPA No. 30A.

5.1.2 Wire Type

All wiring should have a capacitance rating of less than 100 picofarads per foot.

5.1.3 Probe Wiring

Gas and oil resistant shielded, 2-conductor cable is required to extend the probe cable to the I.S. Interface
Module in the Controller. OPW Fuel Management Systems recommends you use Belden #88760 or Alpha
#55371 cable.

NOTE: Belden #88760 is available directly from OPW Fuel Management Systems; part #12-1300.

5.1.4 Sensor Wiring

You can use the same cable as used for the probe or you can use individual Gas and Oil resistant cable,
providing it is 18 AWG or greater.

5.1.5 Wire Length

Wire runs must be less than 300 m (1000 ft) to meet intrinsic safety standards. Also, wire lengths of 300 m
(1,000 ft) or more between probe/sensor and the Controller will jeopardize signal integrity and system
operations.

5.1.6 Wire Splices

There should be no splices between the field junction box and the I.S. Interface Module in the SiteSentinel
iTouch Controller. A splice in the hazardous area requires the use of a silicon-filled wire nut that must be
located in a waterproof junction box. Each splice would jeopardize signal integrity and system operations.
 Doc. No.: M1500, Rev. 6
Page 22 of 127

• 67733 Gross Point Road 900 Santa Fe Dr.

1.11 Conduit
All probe and sensor cabling to the SiteSentinel iTouch Controller must be in rigid steel conduit. The conduit
must be dedicated to intrinsically safe wiring for this Controller.
Probe and sensor wiring for this Controller can share the same conduit.
This Controller’s intrinsically safe wiring cannot share the same conduit with other equipment’s intrinsically safe
wiring.

NOTE: PVC conduit may be substituted for rigid steel conduit where acceptable by local codes. Use
SHIELDED cable for sensor and probe wiring as described in the above sections.
The size and number of probe and sensor conduits (probe-sensor-to-controller) depends on how many probes
and sensors your site has.
It is recommended to group probe wires into separate conduits for each SiteSentinel iTouch Controller I.S.
Interface Module position.

Probe Quantity vs. Conduit Capacity

Number of Probes Number & Size of Conduits

1 to 2 One 13 mm (0.5 in)

3 to 4 One 19 mm (0.75 in)

5 to 6 One 13 mm (0.5 in) and one 19 mm (0.75 in)

7 to 8 Two 19 mm (0.75 in)

9 to 12 Three 19 mm (0.75 in)

13 to 16 Four 19 mm (0.75 in)

 Doc. No.: M1500, Rev. 6
Page 23 of 127

• 67733 Gross Point Road 900 Santa Fe Dr.

Probe-Cable Seal-Offs

To prevent explosive vapors from entering the I.S. barrier, seal-off the
probe cables before they enter the I.S. barrier.

1. Remove enough of the jacket to allow approximately 7.6 cm (3 inches) of wire leads to extend past each
seal-off. DO NOT nick the wire insulation.
2. Probe or sensor wires using prepared Belden or Alpha cable go through NPT bushings into a
weatherproof junction box. Bushings must be used in all junction boxes.
3. The cable is then routed—via rigid steel conduit—out of the box and directly to the I.S. barrier.
4. Label each cable and wire.

The console must have a dedicated power circuit, and must be on the same phase as
all other OPW equipment.

Only OPW probe cables and sensor wiring can share the conduit to the I.S. barriers.
Improper cables, wiring, or conduit allow electronic noise to interfere with probe/sensor
measurements. This may cause measurement readings at the console resembling
hardware failure. The warranty is voided if improper cables, wiring and/or conduit are
installed. The ground wire must be properly installed for the operation of the noise-
filtering circuitry. Do not rely on the conduit for the operation of the ground.

Figure 6-1 Probe Cable Seal-Offs

 Doc. No.: M1500, Rev. 6
Page 24 of 127

• 67733 Gross Point Road 900 Santa Fe Dr.

1.12 Junction Boxes

Weatherproof electrical junction boxes with a gasket-equipped cover are required at the end of each probe and
conduit run at the UST manhole or monitoring well location.
Wires coming off of a probe or sensor connect to prepared Belden or Alpha cable, and then go through NPT
busing into the weatherproof junction box. Bushings must be used in all junction boxes. The cable is then
routed out of the junction box via rigid steel conduit.

1. Excavate a 50 cm (20 in) minimum diameter manhole around an unused fitting in the top of the tank.
The hole must be big enough for a weatherproof junction box. If this fitting is not in the center of the tank,
you must take additional measurements for probe compensation (refer to Section 8, Product Float and
Water Float Offsets).
2. Install a 7.5 cm – 10 cm (3 in – 4 in) diameter riser pipe in the fitting. This pipe must be long enough to
accommodate the probe head, and it must be large enough to accommodate the probe head, and it
must be large enough to accommodate the probe floats. 5 cm and 10 cm (2 in and 4 in) floats are
available.
3. Install a weatherproof junction box with 13 mm (0.5 in) knockouts near the riser pipe. The junction box
must be close to the riser to allow probe cable to reach.
4. Install a 13 mm (0.5 in) busing in the junction box.
5. Install an adapter collar onto the tank’s riser pipe.

NOTE: Use a riser cap with a suitable cable bushing installed. For older Model 924 and 613 probes, use a
bushing with an inner diameter of 11 mm (0.44 in). For next-generation 924, use bushings with an inner
diameter of 5 mm (0.19 in).

1.14 Precision Leak Test

Perform a precision leak test on each tank – especially older ones – before installing SiteSentinel iTouch. You
can perform a pressurized leak test on a tank after probe installation; however, DO NOT exceed 20 psi
pressure.

1.15 Probe Placement

Model 924B probes must be installed as described in this section. If the minimum
or maximum dimensions specified cannot be met, do not proceed with the
installation.
Model 924B probes are safe for Class 1, Div 1, Group D hazardous locations.
This includes tanks containing regular, super, diesel and unleaded gasoline;
antifreeze; kerosene; mineral spirits; oxinol, methanol and methanol blends;
motor, torque and transmission oil; and alcohol. If you have any questions
about whether a product is included in this classification, please contact your
product specialist or OPW distributor.

The ideal location for a probe is in the center of the tank (See the illustration below).
The probe should be located at least 91.4 cm (3 feet) from the tank fill pipe. If this distance is less than 91.4 cm
(3 feet), the force of the product entering the tank can cause the water float to rise up the shaft of the probe.
This may cause the SiteSentinel iTouch to generate a false high-water alarm.
Adjust the drop tube of the fill pipe so that the product flow is diverted away from the probe.
Similarly, a Submersible Turbine Pump (STP) should be located at least 91.4 cm (3 feet) from the probe. If this
distance is less than 91.4 cm (3 feet), the force of the product

Product Float and Water Float Offsets

The 924B probes differ slightly in setup from previous models of probe. This section tells you how to match
your manual dipstick tank readings to the readings from the probe. Offset compensates for the angle (or slope)
that the tank may have.
When performing subtractions, remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the
positive version of that number. For example, subtracting -2 from 6 results in 8.

1.16 Offset Procedure

An example appears below.
1. Run the SiteConnect software. Set both the Product Float Offset and the Water Float Offset held in
the SiteSentinel iTouch Controller to zero (0).
2. Using your normal dipstick access point in the tank, take a Dipstick Product Level and a Dipstick
Water Level. To take the Dipstick Water Level, use water detect paste on the bottom of the dipstick.
3. Take an inventory reading from the Controller. Note the Probe Product Level and the Probe Water
Level.
4. Calculate Product Float Offset and Water Float Offset:
5. Product Float Offset = (Dipstick Product Level – Probe Product Level)
6. Water Float Offset = (Dipstick Water Level = Probe Water Level)
7. Run SiteConnect software and configure the SiteSentinel iTouch Controller with the new offset values
obtained in the previous step.
8. Take an inventory reading from the Controller. The Probe Product Level should now match the
Dipstick Product Level and the Probe Water Level should now match the Dipstick Water Level.

NOTE: A typical Product Float Offset is 7.4 cm (2.9 in) and a typical Water Float Offset is 0 cm.

8.1.1 Float Offset Example

Sample DIPSTICK Levels
• Product = 59.5
• Water = 1.2
Sample PROBE Levels
• Product = 56.6
• Water = 1.5
Using this data and this equation: Dipstick Product Level = Probe Product Level = Product Float Offset,
the product offset value is 59.5 – 56.6, or 2.9.
Using this data and this equation: Dipstick Water Level – Probe Water Level = Water Float Offset, the water
offset value is 1.2 – 1.5, or -0.3.

1.17 Calculating Tank Tilt and Offset Factor

You can calculate a product offset for a probe that is not installed in the center of a “pitched” tank. Pitch is the
tilt of a tank along its horizontal axis. Some tanks are intentionally installed with one end lower than the other.
This allows water and sediment to collect at the low end, while clear product is drawn from the high end. Pitch
can also be caused by tank settling. The rate of pitch can be measured by using a dipstick to measure the level
of product at two points (preferably opposite ends) of the tank (see illustration below). The product depth at the
deep (lower) end of the tank is value “A”. The product depth at the shallow (higher) is value “B”. The distance
between the two measuring points is “C”.

Figure 8-1 Calculating Tank Tilt

The formula for pitch is: (A-B)/C

For example: [(46” – 40”)/120”] = (6/120) = 0.05
To calculate the product offset, measure value “D”, the distance of the probe from the center of the tank. The
formula for product offset is “D” x pitch. For the example above, 36” x 0.05 = 1.8”
If the probe is located closer to the shallow end of the tank, the product offset is positive; for the example, 1.8. if
the probe is located closer to the deep end of the tank, the product offset is negative; for the example, 1.8.
See SiteConnect Help for details about entering the product offset.

Probes
This section covers gasoline and diesel probes - for information on the optional LPG (liquefied petroleum gas)
probe, see Appendix F – LPG Probe Option.

1.18 Probe Floats

This section describes the weight specification on the enclosed Water Level Indicator, correct range of products
that can be used, identifying the Water Level Indicator for its intended product group, compatible fluid products,
level indicator(s) installation, level indicator kit part numbers and contents.

Product Level vs. Water Level

Figure 8-1 shows how the probe components work together.
The Product Level Indicator floats on the gasoline or diesel fuel and registers the overall height of the fuel. You
can use the Product Level Indicator with or without a Water Level Indicator.
Standard Water Level Indicators feature one of two different ballast weights and are etched to show gasoline or
diesel. Stainless-Steel Water Level Indicators are weighted internally and are laser-etched with their specific-
gravity value. Because fuel products are less dense than water, Water Level Indicators sink through the
product and float on the water. Water height at the product/water boundary can be determined accordingly.

Figure 9-3 Probe Level Indicators and Cable Installation

1. Install the Product Float – Slide the float over the probe rod from the bottom of the rod. Make sure the
magnet is facing toward the bottom end of the probe (for a Stainless-Steel Product Level Indicator
make sure the etched “UP” faces UP). If you are installing a product float only, skip to Step 3.
2. Install the Water Float (if applicable) - Slide the float over the probe rod from the bottom of the rod.
Make sure the magnet is facing toward the top of the probe (for a Stainless-Steel Water Level Indicator
make sure the etched “UP” faces UP).
3. Install the rubber boot by sliding it onto the end of the probe rod until it stops. Slip the C-clamp into the
slotted groove and push in until it snaps into place.
4. Install the probe cable. The probe-cable plug connector has a key slot that aligns with a corresponding
key tab in the probe tip. This allows the plug to fit in only one direction.
o Place the plug connector over the probe tip.
o Rotate the plug until you feel the connector key slot slide over the probe-tip key tab.
o Push the connector in all the way.
o Rotate the outer compressor ring of the connector until it is snug against the top of the probe.

Determining Product Group for a Standard Water Level Indicator

Figure 9-4 Determining Type of Standard Water Level Indicator

Standard Water Level Indicators feature one of two different ballast weights and are etched for gasoline or
diesel (see Figure 9-4). This weight allows the level indicator to sink through the product, but to float on the
water. This registers the height of the water at the product/water boundary. The weight is certified by OPW Fuel
Management Systems for use with one of two product groups, the gasoline group OR the diesel group. There
is a mark etched on the ballast weight plate ("g" for gasoline, "d" for diesel). The water float for gas also has a
white outer ring while the water float for diesel is black.
Stainless-Steel Water Level Indicators are weighted internally and are laser-etched with their specific-gravity
rating.

1. Strip approximately 1.5 inches of the cable jacket from the end of the probe/sensor cable to expose the
four (4) wires inside (power, signal ground and shield).

NOTE: When stripping cables and wires do not cut so deep as to nick the wiring inside the jacket material.
2. There are four (4) wires inside the probe/sensor cable.
o The Blue wire is the Power connection
o The Brown wire is the Signal connection
o The Black wire and Braided Shield are the Ground
3. Strip 0.5 inch of jacket material from the ends of the Blue, Brown and Black wires.
4. Strip approximately 1.5 inches of the cable jacket from the end of the Home-run cable (Belden 88760
or 88761) to expose the three (3) wires inside (Red = Power, Black = Signal, Braided Shield =
Ground).
5. Strip one-half inch of jacket material from the ends of the Red and Black wires.
6. Place a wire tie wrap around both of the stripped cables about 1 inch from the end of the cable jackets.
Pull the tie snug and cut the excess tie material at the clamp.
7. Connect the Power, Signal and Grounds of the probe/sensor cable to the Power, Signal and Ground of
the Home-run cable together using the three (3) supplied wire nuts.
o Twist the ends of the exposed wires together
o Insert the twisted wires into the end of the wire nut
o Turn the nut clockwise several turns until the wires are firmly attached

NOTE: Refer to the wiring diagrams in the manual for specific information on probe/sensor wiring.
8. Fold one of the fastened wire nuts back as shown in the photo. This will allow the entire wire nut
assembly to fit completely into the epoxy bag.

Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when handling the epoxy resin
packs!

9. Prepare the epoxy resin sealpack.

o Bend the sealpack until the barrier between the two resins weakens
o Thoroughly mix the two (2) resins together for approximately two (2) minutes. The mixed epoxy
will become warm to the touch.
o Push all of the mixed resin to the bottom of the bag
o Cut and tear the top of the bag to open
10. Insert the wire-nut assembly all the way into the bottom of the bag. Fold the bag tightly around the tied
cables. Attach a second tie wrap around the bag just above the tie wrap holding the wires (this will
prevent the wire-nut assembly from slipping out of the bag).
Move the epoxy around to thoroughly cover all of the wires and wire nuts inside the bag. This will provide a
secure, waterproof electrical connection and prevent corrosion of the wiring connections.

Probe Installation and Wiring Procedure

1. Feed the blue probe cable through the bushing in riser cap.
2. Attach the cable connector to the socket in the probe head.
3. Carefully lower the probe into the riser pipe until it rests on the bottom of the tank. Be careful not to
damage the floats.
4. Tighten the riser cap bushing, leaving enough cable to reach the junction box.
5. Snap the riser cap in place. Secure the cap with a lock.
6. Install a 13 mm (0.5 in) NPT bushing into the junction box.
7. Pass the probe cable through this bushing into the box, and then tighten the bushing.
8. Pull the shielded cable through the rigid conduit and through the installed seal-offs at both ends of the
conduit run. Leave slack in the probe wiring emerging from the ends.
9. Using the silicon-filled wire nuts included with the probe, connect the blue probe cable to the shielded
cable inside the electrical junction box.
10. Remove the clear plastic cover located over the I.S. Interface Modules inside the SiteSentinel iTouch
Controller to attach the wiring from the probe conduit.
11. Connect the braided SHIELD from the Belden cable to the I.S. Module GROUND position.
12. Connect the BLACK wire to the I.S. Module SIGNAL position.
13. Connect the RED wire to the I.S. Module POWER position.

NOTE: When attaching probes to the Controller, start with I.S. Module Position “1” and work toward “16”. Fill
one strip before starting another.

Write down which probe goes to each position. You will need this when you configure the SiteSentinel ITouch
using the SiteConnect software.

The interstitial hydrocarbon liquid/water sensor is designed for use in the interstitial area of a double-walled
tank.
The hydrocarbon liquid/water sensor contains a carbon/polymer material that changes its resistance when
exposed to liquid hydrocarbons, as well as a water sensor that relies on the conductivity of water to detect its
presence, providing the ability to discriminate between hydrocarbon liquid and water. In the event of a break in
the cable, the system will activate the alarm.

Sensor

11.1.2 1st I.S. Module Position – Hydrocarbon Liquid

1. Configure the barrier position to be a generic sensor (or, if using SiteConnect choose the appropriate
icon) and install that position.
2. Using the Controller, take a dynamic reading of the hydrocarbon portion of the sensor.
3. Set the lower alarm threshold to be 0.5 volts lower than the reading taken (this assumes that there is
no current hydrocarbon contamination).

NOTE: SiteConnect will ask to adjust the lower threshold automatically, to 0.1 V below the current voltage
reading. Answer YES.
1. Set the upper alarm threshold to 5.0 volts (disables upper threshold).
2. Program the alarms associated with the lower threshold that you wish to activate if the sensor detects
hydrocarbon liquid.

11.1.3 2nd I.S. Module Position – Water

1. Configure the barrier position to be a generic sensor (or, if using SiteConnect choose the appropriate
icon) and install that position. Set the upper alarm threshold to 0.5 volts.
2. Set the lower alarm threshold 0 volts (disables lower threshold).
3. Set the lower alarm threshold to 0 volts (disables lower threshold).
4. Program the alarms associated with the upper threshold that you wish to activate if the sensor detects
water.

1.1.1 Testing and Decontaminating the Interstitial Hydrocarbon Liquid/Water Sensor

To prevent the possibility of explosion or fire, do not test the sensor in the
Hazardous Area.
Work in a well-ventilated area with no hot surfaces or open flames.
Do not use fuel to test the sensor!

If the SiteSentinel iTouch Controller fails to detect alarm conditions simulated here, also check that your
Controller thresholds are correct.
• Testing the Hydrocarbon Liquid Sensor Portion. Immerse the polymer in mineral spirits for about
10 minutes> Remove the sensor and let it hang to air dry. After another 10 minutes any Controller
alarms or events associated with the hydrocarbon sensor should trigger. Disconnect this portion of the
sensor from the Controller – an alarm should result. Short across these Controller positions – an alarm
should also occur. If the open lead and/or short lead test fail, check all wiring and junction boxes for
continuity.
• Testing the Water Sensor Portion. Testing the Water Sensor Portion. Immerse just the end of the
sensor in tap water. Controller alarms or events associated with the water portion of the sensor should
trigger. Short the water portion of the sensor – an alarm should occur. If the short lead test fails, check
all wiring and junction boxes for continuity.

• Cleaning the Hydrocarbon Sensor Portion. To clean hydrocarbon contamination from the sensor
from testing or actual use, immerse the contaminated portion in denatured alcohol for one hour. Then,
flush the sensor with water to remove any residue. Leave the sensor to “settle” for another hour. The
sensor should return to nearly its original resistance, but it may be necessary to readjust the
Controller’s thresholds.

The hydrocarbon liquid sensors are used primarily in monitoring wells with fluctuating ground water tables. The
hydrocarbon liquid sensor contains a carbon/polymer material that changes its resistance when exposed to
liquid hydrocarbons.
This sensor can also be placed in the containment areas of tanks, pumps and pipes. It will alert the system if
any fuel enters into the containment area, which would indicate a leak. In the event of a break in the cable the
system will activate the alarm.

11.1.6 Testing and Decontaminating the Hydrocarbon Liquid Sensor

To prevent the possibility of explosion or fire, do not test the sensor in the
Hazardous Area.
Work in a well-ventilated area with no hot surfaces or open flames.
Do not use fuel to test the sensor!

• Test the Sensor

o Put the polymer fully into mineral spirits for about 10 minutes
o Remove the sensor and let it hang to air dry
o After another 10 minutes any Controller alarms or events associated with the hydrocarbon sensor
should start
o Disconnect this part of the sensor from the Controller. An alarm should occur immediately.
o Short across these Controller positions. An alarm should occur.
o If the open lead and/or short lead test results are unsatisfactory, examine all wiring and junction
boxes for continuity

NOTE: If your controller does not sense the alarm conditions simulated here, examine your controller
thresholds to make sure they are correct.

• Clean the Sensor. To clean hydrocarbon contamination (as a result of testing or actual use) from the
sensor:
o Put the contaminated portion fully into denatured alcohol for one hour
o Flush the sensor with water to remove any residue

1.22 30-3210-06, -10, -15 Hydrocarbon Liquid/Water Sensor

About the 30-3210

The hydrocarbon liquid/water sensor is used primarily in monitoring wells with fluctuating ground water tables
or in containment areas of tanks, pumps and pipes.
The hydrocarbon liquid/water sensor contains a carbon/polymer material that changes its resistance when
exposed to liquid hydrocarbons. It also has a water sensor that relies on the conductivity of water to detect its
presence and allows the 30-3210 to distinguish between hydrocarbon liquid and water.
The sensor also alerts the system to the absence of ground water in a monitoring well or the presence of water
in containment areas. It will alert the system if any fuel leaks into the containment area. In the event of a break
in the cable the system will activate the alarm.

1.26 30-3222 Hydrocarbon Vapor Sensor

About the 30-3222

The hydrocarbon vapor sensor is designed to detect hydrocarbon vapors in monitoring wells and the interstitial
areas of a double-walled tank. The presence of these vapors could indicate a potentially dangerous leak that
could lead to safety and environmental problems.
The sensor is made from a long-life resistive element that increases dramatically in resistance in the presence
of hydrocarbon vapors. After the vapors have dissipated, the sensor returns to normal and is ready to detect
hydrocarbon vapors again. In the event of a break in the cable, the system will activate the alarm.

1. Configure the barrier position to be a generic sensor (or, if using SiteConnect choose the appropriate
icon) and install that position.
2. Using the Controller take a dynamic reading of the hydrocarbon portion of the sensor.
3. Set the lower alarm threshold to be 0.1 volts lower than the reading taken (this assumes that there is
no current hydrocarbon contamination)
4. Set the upper alarm threshold to be 5.0 volts (disables upper threshold).
5. Program your alarms to activate if the sensor detects hydrocarbons.

14.1.8 Testing and Decontaminating the Hydrocarbon Vapor Sensor

To prevent the possibility of explosion or fire, do not test the sensor in the
Hazardous Area.
Work in a well-ventilated area with no hot surfaces or open flames.
Do not use fuel to test the sensor!

To test the hydrocarbon vapor sensor:

1. Pour some mineral spirits into an empty can or other container.
2. Suspend the hydrocarbon sensor inside the container, in the air above the mineral spirits.
3. Wait approximately 10 minutes. After ten minutes, any Controller alarms or events associated with the
sensor should have triggered.
To clean the sensor from hydrocarbon contamination (or after testing):
1. Immerse the sensor in denatured alcohol.
2. Let the sensor soak for one hour.
3. Remove the sensor from the alcohol and let stand for one hour before using.
The sensor should have returned to nearly its original resistance, but it may be necessary to re-adjust the
Controller’s thresholds. If the Controller fails to register the alarm condition, check your programmed thresholds
in the Controller. Disconnecting the sensor should trigger an alarm and shorting the sensor should be out of
alarm. Check all wiring and junction boxes to ensuring continuity without shorts.

hydrocarbons. A float switch simply clips onto the hydrocarbon sensor and can be positioned at any desired
height to activate in the presence of liquid
This sensor can be used to monitor wet wells to ensure that a liquid is normally present. In the event of a break
in the cable, the system will activate the alarm.

About the 30-3225

This sensor is made from the hydrocarbon liquid sump sensor (30-3219-12) and from the dual level reservoir
sensor (30-3221-2) clipped to the side. The combination sump sensor is designed to detect the presence of
liquid hydrocarbons and water in sumps, dispenser pans and other locations where the presence of a liquid
could indicate that a leak has occurred.
The sensor contains a carbon/polymer material that changes its resistance when exposed to liquid
hydrocarbons. The dual float switch simply clips onto the hydrocarbon sensor and can activate in the presence
or absence of liquid. This sensor can be used to monitor wet wells to ensure that liquid is normally present. In
the event of a break in the cable, the system will activate the alarm.

The OM4 Output Module expands the tank-gauge console functions by allowing up to 2 (two) OM4 units each
™
with 4 (four) relay positions for a total of 8 relays. The OM4
• communicates
67733 Gross with
Pointthe controller
Road 900 Santavia Petro-Net
Fe Dr.
and is powered by a 12 VAC wall pack source that is supplied with the unit. See the wiring instructions inside
•
the OM4 unit for the correct Petro-Net™ communications and power wiring connections.

NOTE: See the tank-gauge console Configuration Manual for information on programming the alarms, events
and Output Module relay associations.
Some common OM4 functions include:
• Turn off a submersible pump when low product is sensed in a tank.
• Activate an alarm when high product is sensed in a tank.

Safety Precautions

DO NOT connect the OM4 Output Module directly to a submersible

pump! The OM4 controls pumps INDIRECTLY, through relays or
contactors.
High voltages exist inside the OM4. Only qualified technicians should
open the unit.
Output relays in the OM4 are not intrinsically safe! Before working on the
OM4 Output Module, disconnect all power, including power to and from
the relays.
DO NOT place probe and/or sensor wiring in conduit that contains wiring
for devices that are connected to the OM4 Output Module.

Codes
Relay wiring is classified as Class 1 wiring. Installations must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (NFPA No. 70) and the Automotive and Marine Service Station Code (NFPA No. 30A). It is the installer’s
responsibility to investigate and obey any applicable local codes in the country\county of installation.

Hazardous Area Definition

A fuel dispenser is a hazardous area as defined in the National Electrical Code. Do not mount the OM4 Output
Module within a hazardous area. Do not attach this unit to any devices that are located in the hazardous area.

5. Page 93 of 127
Firmly tighten the flange to the LPG tank for a proper seal.
The following 3 steps are for 30-B-xxx probe ONLY
• Carefully slide the supplied shrink tubing over the probe outer shaft. Make sure it covers the entire probe
shaft. 67733 Gross Point Road 900 Santa Fe Dr. Doc. No.:
• Cut the tubing, leaving an extra 2.5 cm (1 in) at the bottom of the probe.
M1500, Rev. 5
• Carefully heat the shrink tubing using a heat gun or similar approved device until the tubing seals around
the probe. Be careful to not over-heat the tubing or it will split.
Page 93 of 127
NOTE: When shrinking the tubing at the bottom of the probe carefully bond the tubing towards the bottom of
the probe to ensure that the bottom of the probe is covered.
The following step applies only to the Q0400-xxx probe
• 67733 Gross Point Road 900 Santa Fe Dr.
NOTE: This probe does not need the shrink tubing. •

6. Go to the next step. Remove the protective cap from the open end of the probe fixture assembly.
7. Gently insert the probe into the probe fixture opening. For SiteSentinel probes, make sure the shrink
tubing is not damaged during this process.
8. Be sure the probe is completely seated in the bottom of the probe fixture.
9. Make all electrical connections using instructions supplied with the probe. Inspect the head cover
assembly BEFORE you complete the electrical connections.
The remaining steps apply to the probe head cover ONLY
The probe head must be covered. Purchase a cover from OPW, order part number 30-1512. You can cut the
cover for clearance, but make sure you leave room for connections and cable.
1. Insert the cable through the bushing.
2. Insert the connector end of the probe cable into the threaded hole on the top of the head cover.
3. Thread the bushing into the hole on the top of the head cover.
4. Tighten the bushing with the lower molded nut (not the top compression nut).

Do not over-tighten the nut! It isn’t necessary for the bushing to be flush with the
top of the head cover.

5. Pull just enough cable through the bushing so that the cable extends from the bottom of the head
assembly.
6. Tighten the compression nut to seal the fitting to the cable.
This completes the LPG probe installation.
