V. AUTOMATIC FILL CONTROLLER
IV-A. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The Automatic Fill Controller should be mounted at the filling station, then wired to the
power source, float assemblies, valves, and any other sensors or system integration
connections. Once mounted and properly wired, the AFC panel must be set up/
programmed.
Installing Wiring
The AFC panel must be completely wired prior to applying power. Failure to follow
the wiring information and guide may result in product damage and loss of warranty
coverage. If requested, startup services can be provided by Simplex to check field
wiring prior to applying power, as well as assuring proper operation. See job-specific
wiring diagrams for details.
Installing Cable Access
To bring cabling into the fill controller, pull or drill a hole into the enclosure at a location
of your choosing and install a comparably rated conduit connector for access to the
controller.
Installing Control Power
To install control power, see job-specific wiring diagrams for details.
Installing Motorized Ball Valves
If you have a single-tank system, the ball valve is likely already mechanically and
electrically installed. If you have a multi-tank system, you will have to install the ball
valves in your fuel pipes and connect them to the fill controller.
Verify that the Manual Override Switches on each Motorized Ball Valve (
MBV
) is set to
“
Auto
.”
See job specific drawings for valve information.
Installing Pressure Relief Valves
I
n a multi-tank system, you must install a pressure relief valve between the automatic fill
controller and the MBVs. The PRV is included in your order.
Installing Float Assemblies
To install the float assemblies, push the latch handles on the assembly down and slide
the coupler off. See job specific drawings for float wiring information.
If there are any questions about wiring the AFC, please
contact Simplex directly. Simplex is not responsible for
damage due to incorrect wiring installation.
