Introduction
The VISY-X system (

stem) provides highly precise and continuous level
measurements for all commercially available fuels in up to 16 tanks. Simultaneously the product
temperature and the water level at the bottom of the tank are measured.
The system includes:
•
VISY-Command
(central unit)
•
VISY-Setup
(software application) for configuring the VISY-Command
•
VISY-Stick
(filling-level sensors) for tank gauging in the versions:
VISY-Stick, VISY-Stick Advanced, VISY-Stick Advanced with VISY-Density Module,
VISY-Stick Flex, VISY-Stick LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), …
In addition, following environmental sensors can also be operated with the VISY-X System:
−
VISY-Stick Sump
for monitoring the manhole or the dispenser sump with the distinc-
tion between product and water
−
VISY-Reed Sump
for monitoring the manhole or the dispenser sump without a dis-
tinction between liquids
−
VISY-Stick Interstitial
(with adjustable measuring range) for monitoring the interme-
diate chamber in double-walled tanks
−
VISY-Reed Interstitial
(with fixed measuring points) for monitoring the intermediate
chamber in double-walled tanks
−
VIMS Sensors
(VIMS-Tank, VIMS-Product Pipe, VIMS-Delivery Pipe) for monitoring
the intermediate chamber in double-walled tanks, filling lines and product lines from
our system partner SBG GmbH, see chapter 1.1
−
COMS (Continuous Oil Separator Monitoring System) with VISY-Stick Oil Separa-
tor and VISY-Sludge probes
for monitoring the oil and sludge layer in oil separators,
see chapter 1.1
−
VPS
for monitoring pressure, see chapter 1.1
The sensors can be installed easily both using the screw-in unit with external thread and through
a pipe installation (riser). The sensors may be operated in potentially explosive areas including
Zone 0.
In this manual, you are guided through installation and commissioning of the VISY-Stick and
VISY-Reed Sensors. This manual contains a description of all steps needed to perform the instal-
lation.
