TS-TPI Installation and Wiring Guide
WARNING
Allow no source of combustion near the work area. Be careful not to cause
sparks when working on fuel dispensing equipment. Failure to follow these directions may
cause an explosion hazard, which could result in property damage and death.
WARNING
These containment sumps can trap dangerous amounts of hydrocarbon vapors.
If these vapors are inhaled they could cause dizziness or unconsciousness. If the vapors
were ignited they could explode causing serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Refer to all applicable Federal, State, City and local codes, your National
Electric Code (NEC), and the Automotive and Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A in the
USA) before installation or maintenance. This installation is designed for submersible pumps
which have a Pump Control box in the station. If a pump control box does not exist, then the
system must be retrofitted to add a pump control box in the facility to comply with Codes.
CAUTION
Before entering a containment sump check for the presence of hydrocarbon
vapors, if vapor levels are unsafe ventilate the sump with fresh air. While working in the sump
periodically check the atmosphere in the sump, if vapors reach unsafe levels exit the sump
and ventilate it.
CAUTION
ALWAYS have a second person standing by for assistance when working in
or around a containment sump. Electronic and electrical petroleum monitoring equipment is
often housed in containment sumps designed to trap hazardous liquid spills and prevent
contamination of the environment.
CAUTION
Petroleum is carcinogenic – use adequate protection to avoid health hazards.
ALWAYS cleanup and dispose of used absorbent/rags and petroleum resistant gloves in
approved waste containers. Cleanup refuse and dispose of these immediately to avoid
personnel injury from vapors or direct skin contact to also avoid possible fire or
environmental safety hazards.
