Overfill Protection & Earthing System
3.0 Installation and Checkout
3.1 Cautions during Installation
1. Field repairs of flameproof joints should not be undertaken by the end user.
In the event that flameproof joint must be repaired, contact the manufacturer.
Repairs of flameproof joints must be made in compliance with the structural
specifications in manufacturer's drawings. Repairs must not be made on the
basis of values specified in tables 1 and 2 of IEC 60079-1.
2. Overfill protector shall be installed at the location where its display can be
seen and maintenance can be easily made.
3. Specification requirements for ground cable of the enclosure: Single core
yellow green line, its sectional area shall not be less than 4 mm².
4. Connection impedance between the device earthing point and main power
supply earthing point shall not be more than 1Ω at the installation site.
5. Do not open with energized, P02 plug and spiral cable only are allowed to
be wiped with wet cloth, and all the operations that may produce electrostatic
are prohibited.
6. When the product is connected with device of Zone 0, connection to
isolated transformer required in clause 16.3 of IEC/EN 60079-14 shall be
considered.
7.When connecting to the cable, the moment of force for the pressing nut is
13Nm, and 15Nm for pressing connector of the cable entries.
8.The installation, operation and maintenance of this system should meet the
related requirements of EN60079-19, EN60079-14 and EN60079-17.
3. 2 Connecting with Automatic Refueling System
The signal interface of the automated refueling systems is different, so we
have to debug the interface.
The system provides two kinds of signals: static earthing signal and overfill
protection signal. Each signal can be normal open or normal close; the two
signals can be combined or separately output.
1. Choose normal open or normal close.

connection is effective and without overfill, the indicators for
Earthing Overfill
both earthing and overfill are flashing green, the relay outputs
4.1.3
normal working signal.
2. Earthing alarm
When the P02 plug is connected with the socket, if the earthing
connection is ineffective and there is no overfill, the earthing
Earthing Overfill indicator turns to flashing red and the overfill indicator turns to
4.1.4 flashing green, the relay outputs earthing alarm signal.
3. Overfill alarm
When the P02 plug is connected with the socket, if the earthing
connection is effective and there is overfill, the earthing
Earthing Overfill
indicator turns to flashing green and the overfill indicator turns
4.1.5 to flashing red, the relay outputs overfill alarm.
4. Earthing alarm and overfill alarm at the same time
When the P02 plug is connected with the socket, if the earthing
connection is ineffective and the overfill sensor detects liquid,
Earthing Overfill the indicators for both earthing and overfill turn to flashing red,
4.1.6 the relay outputs signals of earthing alarm and overfill alarm.

indicator becomes flashing green.
Step 2: Take the earthing clamp off from the tank truck and put it back to its
original place after using.
Bottom loading
Step 1: Connect the P02 Plug with the socket on the tank truck, loading begins
when all the indicators becomes flashing green;
Step 2: The corresponding indicator will turn to flashing red if there is earthing
alarm or overfill alarm, and the loading operation is stopped.
Step 3: Disconnect the P02 Plug from the socket and put it back to its original
place after using.

5.0 Troubleshooting
Failure 1: The indicator light does not light up after power-on.
Use a multimeter to test the voltage of 220V AC, and check whether the power
supply is normal. If it is not normal, it indicates there is an open circuit, please
check the circuit; if the input power is normal, please contact us at +86 (0)532
86894009 in time to solve the problem, so as not to affect your normal use.
Failure 2: When the earthing clamp is not clipped to any conductor, the
system is still in normal working state and output normal signal.
Unplug the terminal connected to the earthing clamp. If the system enters the
earthing alarm state and the output changes to an earthing alarm signal, it
indicates that the wire of the earthing clamp is short-circuited, please check
and deal with it; if it cannot be dealt with, please contact us +86 (0)532
86894009 in time so as not to affect your normal use.
Failure 3: When the earthing clamp is clipped to the vehicle body or
other conductors, the system is still in an earthing alarm state, and
output earthing signal.
a. Check whether the earthing clamp has a broken tip or whether the end plug
connector is loose or pulled off, resulting in poor contact. If so, please contact
us to replace the earthing clamp in time, so as not to affect your normal use.
b. Check whether there is a phenomenon that the circuit resistance is too
large due to the disconnection of the earthing cable or the excessive oil
pollution on the tip. Please check the line or wipe the tip clean with a cloth. If
the problem still cannot be solved, please contact us in time to avoid affecting
your normal use.
