Pressure Sensor Installation

A Vapor Pressure Sensor monitors the pressure in a vapor containment system located at a product fueling site.
The purpose of this sensor is to detect pressure leakage as well as overpressure conditions that are both
considered vapor containment faults. To accomplish this, a pressure sensor is installed on either the vapor return
line, for each dispenser, or a pressure sensor is installed on the vapor vent stack.
Dispenser Installation Method
Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 in this manual. Each dispenser must have adequate room to mount the Vapor
Pressure Sensor, and the associated hardware, inside the cabinet located at the base of the dispenser.
Vapor Vent Stack Installation Method
Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 in this manual. Each Vapor Vent Line must have an enclosure with the Vapor
Pressure Sensor mounted inside. Additional customer supplied hardware is required to complete this type of
vapor monitoring installation.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to wedge fit the Vapor Pressure Sensor in between other dispenser hardware. In doing
so, the dispenser may not be approved by the AHJ (authority having jurisdiction.) If installing the Vapor Pressure
Sensor under a Product Dispenser, it must be mounted in a location that does not inhibit access to other
dispenser parts that require periodic maintenance such as product filters or paper spools or any other
serviceable parts. Dispensers capable of handling multiple products may not have the required room, in the
bottom cabinet, to mount all of the hardware associated with the Vapor Pressure Sensor.
Careful consideration must be given on whether to install a Vapor Pressure Sensor inside the Dispenser or on
the Vapor Vent Stack and each sensor must be installed according to the guidelines listed in this manual.

Limitations
The Vapor Pressure Sensor, part nos. 331946-XXX and series 8611 may be installed in either the base of a
product fueling dispenser or be mounted to the vapor vent stack.

Pressure Sensor Installation Under Dispenser Installation Steps

Under Dispenser Installation Steps


OFF

1. Before installing this device, turn Off, tag/lock out power to the system, including console and submersible
pumps.
2. Determine which dispenser is closest to the tank being monitored. Remove that dispenser’s lower sheet
metal doors to gain access to the vapor plumbing.
3. Refer to Pressure Sensor dispenser installation examples in Figure 1 and Figure 2 to locate a suitable port or
plumb a suitable fitting for the Pressure Sensor tubing in either the vapor return shear valve or in the vapor
return line. NOTE: In ISD installations, the pressure port used must be below the vapor flow meter
outlet.
4. Install one of the 68CA-4-4 male connectors (item 1 in Table 3) from the kit into the vapor return tapped hole.
5. Install Pressure Sensor (item 1 in Table 1) vertically to the dispenser frame or piping using the 2-inch conduit
clamp, rubber shim, and necessary bolts, nuts, and washers from the included Universal Sensor Mounting kit
(item 3 in Table 3). Wrap the rubber shim (item 8 in Table 1) around the sensor before inserting it into the
clamp. Also make sure the sensor cable outlet is facing up and the pressure sensing port tube in the base of
the sensor is facing down.
6. Attach one end of the 62CA-4 union (item 4 in Table 1) to the pressure sensing port in the base of the
Pressure Sensor.
7. Install the remaining 68CA-4-4 male connectors (item 1 in Table 3) from the kit into each of the three ports in
the 3-way calibration valve (item 5 in Table 3).
8. Measure, fabricate, and install a ¼" OD copper tube (item 6 in Table 3) that runs between the 62CA-4 union
in the base of the sensor and the center port of the 3-way calibration valve.
9. Measure, fabricate, and install a ¼" OD copper tube that runs between the ¼" tube end of the male
connector fitting installed beneath the shear valve mechanism and the right port on the 3-way valve, being
careful not to create any potential liquid traps.
10. Screw the 59CA-4 plug, (item 2 in Table 3) onto the left port’s male connector. Make sure the valve’s handle
is set to connect the sensor to the vapor return line (normal operating position).
Important! All plumbing’s pitch to drain should be 1/4” vertical per 12” horizontal to eliminate liquid traps.
11. Route the cable from Pressure Sensor to the Pressure Sensor junction box in the dispenser. Observing
polarity, connect the sensor wiring to the field wiring from console and cap with wire nuts (see Figure 3) - OR
- terminate the wiring in the TLS RF transmitter (W2). In wireless installations, the wiring is not sealed and
does not run back to the TLS console and Steps 12, 13 and 14 ARE NOT REQUIRED.
12. Seal wire nuts in epoxy sealant following the instructions in Figure 4.
13. Push the epoxy sealed bag into the junction box. Replace and tighten the junction box cover.
14. Terminate field wiring into TLS Console and connect to Smart Sensor Module (TLS-3XX - Figure 5). Note:
observe polarity! The cable length between the console and sensor must not exceed the distance stated in
the TLS-3XX Site Prep manual (P/N 576013-879) or (P/N 577013-578).
15. Get the contents of the pressure sensor drying tube kit (Table 2). Thread a tie wrap (item 3)through the slots
in each of the self-adhesive mounts (item 4). Place the top mount against the large cap on one end of the
tube and tighten the tie wrap until it is against the tube cap but you can still rotate the tube. Place the second
mount against the other end cap of the tube, again pulling the tie wrap through the mount until it is against
the tube cap but you can still rotate the tube.

Remove the two soft plastic seals from each end port of the drying tube. Get the Tygon tubing (item 2) from
the kit and attach one end of the tubing to one end of the drying tube. Slide the tubing onto the drying tube
as far as you can (snug). Referring to Figure 1, position the drying tube vertically against the inside of the
dispenser with the open port of the tube down and above grade and estimate the length needed to loop from

8
Pressure Sensor Installation Under Dispenser Installation Steps

the top of the drying tube and over to the vent port (off center) of the Vapor Pressure Sensor. Cut the Tygon
tubing at the estimated length.

Remove the paper cover from the self-adhesive base of the two tie wrap mounts and stick the drying tube to
the inside of the dispenser in the spot you selected earlier. Pull each of the tie wraps snug and cut off the
excess. Attach the other end of the Tygon tubing to the vent port (off center) of the Vapor Pressure Sensor.
NOTE: the down port of the drying tube must remain open and be oriented down as shown in Figure 1.
16. After the Vapor Pressure Sensor is installed, pressurize the tank ullage space and vapor piping to at least 2
inches WC and test for leaks using leak detection solution.
17. Replace lower dispenser sheet metal doors onto dispensers.

Vapor Vent Stack Installation Steps

1. Before installing this device, perform all required safety procedures to gain access inside the vapor vent
stack.
2. Determine which vapor vent stack line is closest to the tank being monitored. Select this line for the addition
of the pressure sensor.

CAUTION: Installation of the pressure sensor on the vapor vent stack is only allowed at facilities
equipped with a “Veeder-Root Vapor Polisher” or “Franklin Fueling System Healy Clean Air
Separator.
3. Locate a suitable port in an existing Schedule 40 piping fitting (tee, cross, etc.) or plumb a suitable Schedule
40 pipe fitting (tee, cross, etc.) into the vapor vent stack line (maximum length of copper tubing limited by
dimension in Figure 6).
4. Install the vapor pressure sensor (item 1 in Table 1) vertically onto the center of the composite panel (item 5
in Table 4). Insert the sensor in the 2-inch conduit clamp using necessary bolts, nuts, and washers included in
the universal mounting kit (item 3 of Table 3). Be sure the top symbol on the panel is facing upwards (see
Figure 7). Wrap the rubber shim (item 8 in Table 3) around the sensor before inserting it into the clamp. Also
make sure the sensor cable outlet is facing up and the pressure sensing port tube in the base of the sensor is

12
Pressure Sensor Installation Vapor Vent Stack Installation Steps

facing down. Locate the pressure sensor in the clamp, but leave the conduit clamp screw somewhat loose for
later sensor height adjustment.
5. Install two169CA-4-4 male elbows (item 7 in Table 3) into each end of the 3-way calibration valve (item 5 in
Table 3) as shown (see Figure 7).
6. Install one 68CA-4-4 male connector (item 1 in Table 3) into the center port of the 3-way calibration valve,
and then directly attach it to the vapor pressure sensor inlet port (center) (see Figure 7).
7. Screw the 59CA-4 plug (item 2 in Table 3) onto the left port’s male elbow (see Figure 7).
8. Install the two plastic enclosure mounting plates to the back of the enclosure. Use the four short flat-head
screws included in the enclosure hardware bag.
9. Install the composite panel into the enclosure (item 5 in Table 4) such that the sensor cable outlet is facing up
and the pressure sensing port tube in the base of the sensor is facing down. The top symbol on the panel
should be facing upward. Use the four short screws included in the enclosure hardware bag.
10. Make sure that the white flanged porous vent (factory installed - item 2 in Table 4) is still securely installed
into the hole in the bottom of the enclosure (see Figure 7).
11. Insert the S-bend ¼" OD copper tube (item 10 in Table 3) into the right-side male elbow of the 3-way
calibration valve, but do not fully tighten the compression nut (see Figure 7).
12. Locate the 62CABH-4 bulkhead union (item 8 in Table 3) and remove the compression nut and the
adjustable nut then place a large washer (item 9 in Table 3) against the fixed, integral body nut. Slide the
compression nut that was removed onto the bottom portion of the S-bend tube.
13. Partially insert the bulkhead union into the bottom center hole in the enclosure. Slide a large washer over the
body, and thread the adjustable nut back onto the body.
14. Insert the bottom portion of the S-bend tube into the bulkhead union and fully tighten the bulkhead union
adjustable nut against the large washer and enclosure wall. Adjust the pressure sensor vertically in the shim /
conduit clamp to make sure the S-bend tube is fully inserted into the union and male elbow.
15. Fully tighten the compression nuts to connect the S-bend tube to the union and to the male elbow. Tighten
the sensor conduit clamp screw to secure the sensor in its final vertical position (see Figure 7).
16. For wireless pressure sensor applications install wireless components in the enclosure. Reference 577013-
964.
17. Get the contents of the pressure sensor drying tube kit (Table 2). Thread a tie wrap (item 3)through the slots
in each of the self-adhesive mounts (item 4). Place the top mount against the large cap on one end of the
tube and tighten the tie wrap until it is against the tube cap but you can still rotate the tube. Place the second
mount against the other end cap of the tube, again pulling the tie wrap through the mount until it is against
the tube cap but you can still rotate the tube.

Remove the two soft plastic seals from each end port of the drying tube. Get the Tygon tubing (item 2) from
the kit and attach one end of the tubing to one end of the drying tube. Slide the tubing onto the drying tube
as far as you can (snug). Referring to Figure 7, position the drying tube vertically in the enclosure with the
open port of the tube up, and estimate the length needed to loop from the bottom of the drying tube up to the
vent port (off center) of the Vapor Pressure Sensor. Cut the Tygon tubing at the estimated length
(approximately a foot or so). Remove the paper cover from the self-adhesive base of the two tie wrap mounts
and stick the drying tube to the inside of the enclosure as shown in Figure 7. Pull each of the tie wraps snug
and cut off the excess. Attach the other end of the Tygon tubing to the vent port (off center) of the Vapor
Pressure Sensor. NOTE: the upper port of the drying tube must remain open and be oriented up as shown in
Figure 7.
18. Mount the plastic enclosure onto the vapor vent stack or suitable rigid structure ABOVE the vapor vent stack
port using two conduit clamps (for 2" or 3" pipe), bolts, nuts, and washers included, or use other customer
supplied suitable mounting hardware (Example: Unistrut®). Leave the mounting hardware somewhat loose for
later enclosure height adjustment (see Figure 6).

19. Measure, fabricate, and install customer supplied pipe and pipe fittings between the vapor vent stack port
and within a few inches of the bulkhead union in the bottom of the enclosure.
20. Install one 68CA-4-4 male connector (item 1 in Table 3) onto the top of the new pipe (see View A-A,
Figure 6).
21. Measure, fabricate, and install ¼" OD copper tubing (item 6 in Table 3) between the bulkhead union and the
male connector. Adjust the enclosure vertically on vent pipe to make sure the copper tube is fully inserted into
the bulk head union and male connector.
22. Fully tighten the compression nuts to secure the fabricated tube to the bulkhead union and to the male
connector. Tighten the enclosure mounting hardware to secure the enclosure in its final vertical position.

Note: Important! All plumbing’s pitch to drain should be 1/4" vertical per 12" horizontal to eliminate any
potential liquid traps.
23. Make sure the valve’s handle is set to connect the sensor to the vapor vent stack as shown in Figure 7 and
not to the capped (vent) port.
24. Install two tamper-resistant screws from the enclosure hardware bag into the two holes on the enclosure
door (if not already installed) using a Torx bit for tamper-resistant screws. Discard any remaining items in the
enclosure hardware bag.
25. When direct wiring to a TLS console, install ½" electrical conduit from the conduit hub in the bottom of the
enclosure to the customer supplied weather-proof junction box (see Figure 6). For wireless installations, using
the TLS RF, Steps 23 - 27 are not required.
26. Route the cable from the pressure sensor to the junction box under the enclosure. Observing polarity,
connect the sensor wiring to the field wiring from console and cap with wire nuts (see Figure 6).
27. Seal wire nuts in epoxy sealant following the instructions in Figure 4.
28. Push the epoxy sealed bag into the junction box. Replace and tighten the junction box cover.
29. Terminate field wiring into TLS Console and connect to Smart Sensor Module (TLS console - Figure 5). Note:
observe polarity! The cable length between the console and sensor must not exceed the distance stated in
the TLS-3XX Site Prep manual (P/N 576013-879).\
30. After the Pressure Sensor is installed, pressurize the tank ullage space and vapor piping to at least 2 inches
WC and test for leaks using leak detection solution.
31. Close the enclosure door and secure by threading the tamper-resistant screws into the enclosure body using
a Torx bit for tamper-resistant screws.
32. Affix the eVRgreen label (item 4 in Table 4) to the enclosure door as desired.
