Standard Installation Materials
Circuit Breaker
20 Amp — providing power only for the console
Weatherproof Junction Boxes
Minimum 16 cubic inch (406.4 cubic mm) weatherproof
junction box, cover, and cover gasket for the manholes of
liquid level probes. Also use ½ inch (16 mm) bushings for
probe compression ttings.
Use a weatherproof metal pull box for combining several
circuits that will run into the console through one or more
conduits.
Use a separate weatherproof metal pull box to combine
intrinsically safe (IS) liquid level probe wiring. Do not run
other non-intrinsically safe wiring within the IS pull box.
Run ½ inch (16 mm) IS probe conduit from the manholes
to the IS pull box, and then run one or two ½ inch (16 mm)
conduits to the console’s IS conduit knockouts.
Conduit
Rigid metal conduit (RMC) - male NPT threaded: use
½ (16 mm) for IS probe wiring to the console (from the
manholes, use ½ inch conduit), and use ½ inch (16 mm)
for non-intrinsically safe accessories and power wiring.
Use conduit hardware that is appropriate for the installation
and meets local, state and federal requirements.
Splice Connector Kits Must Be Used —
Warranty Requirement
Use the FFS-approved, moisture-resistant, no-strip splice
connectors for liquid level probes. You may order the
TSP-KW30, which contains 30 of the FFS-approved,
moisture-resistant connectors.
Using moisture resistant splice connectors will:
• Reduce / eliminate corrosion of the wire connections from
repeated exposure to water condensation, which causes
eventual signal loss and system failure.
• Reduce or eliminate equipment damage from water
ooding around the connectors, which causes short-
circuit damage.
Thread Sealant (UL Classied)
Use a non-hardening, “stay-soft,” Teon thread sealant,
or equivalent, to seal and waterproof all tank riser pipe
threads. In addition, the thread sealant (or “pipe dope”
as it is commonly known) should also be chemically
non-reactive to the product in the tank(s). Apply thread
sealant to seal / waterproof all outdoor electrical conduit
tting threads including the hole plugs at the weatherproof
junction boxes.
Riser Pipes
ANSI Schedule 40 (or chemically non-reactive) 2" or 4"
(50.8 or 101.6 mm) (8 NPT) riser pipes for liquid level
probes.
Probe Installation Kit(s)
The appropriate FFS 2” or 4” probe installation kit must
be used when installing TSP-LL2 (not -I) leak detection
probes and / or Density Measurement oat kits.
