LOCATION
For optimal batch detection, KAM CONTROLS recommends that you install the in-station OID™ sensor at the
first accessible pipeline location inside the terminal fence line — upstream of the interface cut valve(s). This al-
lows the operator ample time to open/close the cut valves prior to the arrival of the product interface.
KAM CONTROLS also strongly recommends that you utilize a preview (or out-station) OID™ sensor. This lets the
operator decide how to optimize each batch cut prior to actually making the batch cut at the in-station and gives
the operator more confidence in their decisions as well as the time to identify and resolve any issues that may
arise during a critical interface.
