TLS-IB Site Prep Manual

Health and Safety

5

IMPORTANT! Unless stated otherwise, instructions in this manual refer to both levels of site preparation

.

IN–TANK PROBES

Magnetostrictive Probes are capable of performing precision tank testing as described by the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency [0.38 litres per hour (0.1 gph) and 0.76 litres per hour (0.2 gph)] when combined with 

the in-tank leak testing features of a TLS Console. 
For further information on the performance and specification of in-tank probes, please contact your local Veeder-Root 

representative.

Health and Safety

SAFETY SYMBOLS

The following safety symbols may be used throughout this manual to alert you to important safety hazards and 

precautions.

GENERAL

Ensure that all local council, U.K. and E.C. laws and regulations are complied with. Also ensure that all recognised 

safety codes are followed.

Every person working with Veeder–Root equipment is expected to take every safety precaution possible in the 

installation of the TLS-IB and probes.

Contractors must ensure that supervisory personnel on the installation site are aware of their presence and requirements, 

especially the provision of safe working areas and isolation from AC electrical power.
Leaking underground tanks can create serious environmental and health hazards. It is the contractor's responsibility to 

comply with the instructions and warnings found in this manual.
Reference manual number 577013-578 for additional product safety information.

Explosive
Fuels and their vapors are extremely explosive if ignited.

Read All Related Materials
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.
