GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Heed service markings: Opening or removing the console cover may expose you to electric shock. Servicing of 
Veeder-Root equipment must be done by Veeder-Root authorized service contractors. 

Use product with approved equipment: This product should be used only with Veeder-Root components identified 
as suitable for use with the MAG-XL Flex Probe.

Use the correct external power sources: This product should be operated only from the type of power sources 
indicated on the electrical ratings labels affixed to the components. If you are not sure of the type of power source 
required, consult your Veeder-Root authorized service contractor.

MAG-XL Flex Probe cable length: The length of the cable from its exit point in the tank riser or tank fitting to the 
transmitter cannot exceed 10 feet.

Wet or below grade installations: Installation of this equipment in wet or below grade locations requires that the 
installer take steps to ensure that the equipment is mounted above the maximum water level.

The MAG-XL Flex Probe insertion length is critical to ordering and installing the correct probe into the correct tank. 
An improper probe length could result in the probe weight coming in contact with the tank bottom resulting in 
inaccurate fuel height measurement and possible probe damage.

CAUTION! THE TRANSMITTER WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IN WATER. ALSO, SUBMERSION 
OF THE TRANSMITTER IN WATER CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL 
ELECTRONICS

.

SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED

• Strap wrench (5-inch pipe capacity minimum)

• Wire strippers

• Tape measure

• Small blade screwdriver (max. blade width 3/32”)

• T-10/T-15 Torx drivers

• Thread sealant or PTFE tape

General AST Guidelines 

Above ground storage tanks (AST’s) are an essential element in the distribution of petroleum products. Refer to 
the following organizations for applicable standards associated with AST’s: 

• American Petroleum Institute (API) – www.api.org 

• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) – www.nfpa.org 

• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) - www.osha.gov 

• Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) – www.pei.org 

• Steel Tank Institute (STI) – www.steeltank.com 

• Underwriters Laboratories (UL) – www.ul.com 

SAFETY HARNESS

Injury or death resulting from falls while work-
ing on tall structures can be prevented by 
wearing a 5-point harness that is tethered 
securely by a shock absorbing lanyard to the 
structure.

SAFETY BARRICADES

Unauthorized people or vehicles in the work area are dan-
gerous. Always use safety cones or barricades, safety 
tape, and your vehicle to block the work area.

READ ALL RELATED MANUALS

Knowledge of all related procedures before 
you begin work is important. Read and 
understand all manuals thoroughly. If you do 
not understand a procedure, ask someone 
who does.
