1. Introduction
1.1 General Description of SML 1000D
The Scanjet Macron SML 1000D is a microprocessor-controlled electro-pneumatic system for remote
continuous online measurements of liquid levels in ship tanks, as well as for measuring ship drafts.
The system can also be used for detection and monitoring of water and other fluid ingress in dry
compartments, voids and empty tanks.
The electro-pneumatic tank level measuring system consists of measuring piping and one or more
cabinets with pressure sensors, flow controllers and necessary electronics for processing and displaying
the measured tank pressures as tank levels.
There are no sensors or moving parts inside the tanks requiring tank entry.
Three different cabinet sizes available for the Scanjet Macron SML 1000D electro-pneumatic tank level
gauging system –with max. 10, 20 or 30 gauge sensors in one cabinet for measuring pressures tanks,
water ingress and drafts.
The different cabinet sizes allow for optimization and efficient distribution of the TLG system cabinets in
larger systems, resulting in significant savings as fewer cabinets can be used (saved electronics etc.),
and less piping material and work.
All cabinets should be located in easily accessible and safe area for service and check purposes. The
cabinets have been designed to be user and maintenance friendly.
2. Operating SML1000D
2.1 Principle of Pneumatic Tank Level Measurements
All Scanjet Macron SML 1000D sensors are inside the system cabinets and mounted in racks. The
maximum number of tank level gauging, water ingress detection and draft measuring sensors is 10, 20
or 30 depending on cabinet size. The sensors are gauge (breathing) type requiring normally no
atmospheric compensation
In addition, there may be two atmospheric reference absolute pressure sensors depending on the
location of the cabinet. If there are significant pressure differences between outdoor pressure and
pressure at cabinet location, then this air pressure difference must be considered when calculating the
actual tank levels using the gauge sensors.
There is at least one measuring air pipe from the cabinet to inside every tank measured.
In case there is no manual sounding possibility for a tank, then two independent measuring pipes are
required by the Authorities, or alternatively one other type of system, in the same tank.
2.2 Supply Air and Piping

SML 1000D utilizes dry and clean compressed air (instrument air). Based on our experience, we always
deliver an air dryer with filter and air pressure regulator to secure the dryness and cleanness of the
supply air.
4
General System Overview
5
The supply air inlet pressure is approximately 7 bar. The air pressure is reduced with the air pressure
regulator to 4.5-5 bar. This eliminates any random pressure fluctuations caused by other consumers
connecting and disconnecting to the supply air pipe.
The constant flow controller maintains the airflow constant in the measuring pipe to the tank irrespective
of the counter pressure –with increasing tank pressure the air consumption increases as the flow
remains constant.
The airflow may be set and adjusted with the screw in front of the airflow controller when necessary. In
normal operation, the set value 0.5 Nl/min is recommended for empty tank condition.
The measuring air pipe from the cabinet to the tank side or top has OD 10mm, inside the tank the
diameter is increased to OD 20mm (3/4”). The increase in diameter inside the tank is based on our
experience showing that this eliminates fluctuations in the measured tank pressures (and thus
calculated tank levels) during pumping and discharging operations.
The hydrostatic pressure changes when the fluid level increases or decreases, and sensors record
changing tank levels and filling/discharging rates.
By measuring the hydrostatic counter pressure, accurate tank pressures and levels in water ballast
tanks, heavy fuel oil, marine diesel oil and various other tanks can be obtained. The same applies to
water and fluid ingress detection and monitoring.
The low end of the measuring pipe inside the tank should be as close as possible to the bottom for
accurate tank level readings with low tank filling, because it is not possible to create hydrostatic counter
pressure with air bubbling below the lower pip end. Consequently, there may be some fluid in the tanks,
even if the remote tank level gauging system shows that the tank is empty.
Typically, this distance (offset) is 50-100 mm. The lower end of the pipe should also be sniped at 30O
angle for consistent measuring air escape at tank bottom.
For fresh water and some special fluid tanks (wine, edible oils etc.) it is not accepted to use air
in the tank because of health reasons (bacteria etc.), or because of chemical reactions caused by
oxygen. For these tanks, a pneumatic 1:1 pressure converter is used for measuring the hydrostatic
pressure inside. The pneumatic 1:1 pressure converter should be located as close to the bottom as
possible.
The Scanjet Macron SML 1000D is self-cleaning because the instrument air is always flowing through
the pipes, even when the tanks are empty. As a result, the air pipes stay clean of any sediments even if
their low ends are close to the tank bottom.
Every flow controller has a built in by pass feature allowing purging of blocked pipe with full line pressure.
By turning the knob on the flow counter clockwise, the purge is opened for the tank and closed by
turning clockwise.
2.3 Non-return Valves and Shut-off Valves

The Scanjet Macron SML 1000D has three different non-return valve arrangements for the protection
against accidental fluid backflow through measuring lines from tanks, void spaces and drafts.
For every measuring line, there is a built-in non-return valve in the constant flow controller module
hindering any backflow of fluid into the cabinet in case supply air pressure is lost.
There is also an air pressure control switch in every cabinet, which closes should the supply air pressure
drop below 0.3 MPa, keeping air pressure in the cabinet and the pipes hindering backflow. The switch is
automatically opened when the supply air pressure exceeds 0.35 MPa.
Depending on type and location of the tank, non-return valves are fitted at the tank side or the tank top
to prevent backflow from tanks in case the air pressure is lost.
6
In case the Scanjet Macron SML 1000D cabinet is installed below main deck and tank air vent pipe
heads, we recommend that also that high located water ballast tanks such as fore peak and top wing
tanks are fitted with non-return valves hindering any backflow of ballast water.
The non-return valves at tank side and top are gravity loaded and the housing with float must be
installed in vertical position in order for the float to function properly.
For fuel tanks, side penetrations must be fitted shut-off valve according to safety regulations. We
recommend installing non-return valves for these tanks as a safety precaution against accidental spray
of fuel oil on hot surfaces, or oil spill in the engine room in case the measuring air pipes are accidentally
damaged.
Every draft measuring point is fitted with non-return valve after the globe shut-off valve in order to hinder
seawater from entering to the ship through draft measuring openings should the draft measuring pipe be
accidentally ruptured or broken.

2.4 Tank Level Calculations

The electro-pneumatic tank level and draft measuring system measures continuously online the
hydrostatic counter-pressure in tanks and voids spaces and the hydrostatic sea pressure for drafts.
All sensors are located in the cabinet(s) in safe area. The tank levels are calculated in the main control
unit from the measured pressures considering the pipe resistance, the distance from tank measuring
pipe to inside the bottom and the fluid densities.
The atmospheric pressure compensation depends on the type of sensor and the measured difference
between weather deck atmospheric pressure and local cabinet pressure.
2.4.1 Level Calculations for Unpressurized Tanks - Gauge Sensors

Water ballast, fuel oil, lubrication oil, and fresh water tanks are unpressurized tanks that have open-air
vent pipes, and should hence not in general contain any gases such as nitrogen or inert gas.
In some double hull oil tankers, inert gas is used in ballast tanks. This type of tanks are pressurized and
have pressure release valves– see 2.5 for tank level calculation in pressurized tanks.
The actual hydrostatic counter pressure from fluid in unpressurized tanks is measured using gauge type
pressure sensors (self-breathing). The tank levels displayed on the service display unit (SDU30c) are
calculated in the SML 1000D by using below formulae:
Hydrostatic pressure PT = Pmg - (ᇞPD - Pr)

To be added ᇞPD in case PA < Pa , PT = Pmg + (ᇞPD - Pr)
To be subtracted ᇞPD in case PA > Pa , PT = Pmg - (ᇞPD - Pr)
Height h = PT (mbar) * conversion factor ( 0.010197162)
Level Height LH = (h / D) + To
Below formulae can be used for same results

Hydrostatic pressure PT = Pmg - (ᇞPD - Pr)
Level Height LH = (PT / D * G) + To
The symbols used in above formulae are given in Table 1.

Note! In general, the atmospheric pressure outside on the weather deck, and inside the ship near the

the gauge tank level sensors (ᇞPD = 0).

2.4.3 Approximate Tank Level Calculations using Pressure Instrument

The SML 1000D measures continuously the actual tank pressures online.
In case the air supply is lost, there will still be pressure in the measuring pipes, because the air pressure
switch inside the cabinet and the non-return valves inside the flow controllers will close when supply air
pressure drops.
The tank levels are then calculated as described in 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 respectively until the air supply is
restored.
In case the power supply is lost because of ship general electrical blackout or other similar reason, then
the tank levels are not calculated and shown in the SML 1000D (unless the tank level gauging system
has been supplied with an emergency generator and compressor unit for supply air).
However, the tank pressures can still be measured with a pressure instrument for every tank measuring
line from the tank level gauging system cabinet as described below.
Following factors provide approximate values for tank pressure conversion into level height.
To bar mbar kPa

mH2O 10.197162 0.010197162 0.10197162
For example:
1. The pressure instrument reading is 1068 mbar
2. To convert: 1068 mbar * 0.010197162 = 10,890 mH2O
3. If the tank offset, the fluid density, and the flow resistance are known, these
can be applied to obtain a more accurate tank level.
Tank offset: 0.1m, Density: 1.025 kg/m3 and Flow resistance: 3 mbar
Level Height = (((1068 mbar – 3 mbar) * 0.010197162 ) / 1.025 ) + 0.1 m
= 10.695 mH2O
Note! ATM reference pressure is disregarded in above calculation
11
2.5 Tank Level Calculations for Pressurized Tanks

Most pressurized cargo tanks should have nitrogen or inert gas for protection against explosion.
The actual hydrostatic counter pressure from fluid in pressurized tanks is measured using absolute type
pressure sensors (vacuum).
The tank levels displayed on the service display unit (SDU30c) are calculated in the SML 1000D by
using below formulae:
Measured pressure Pma = PT + Pt + Pr

Measured pressure Pmo = Pt + Pro
Tank Top pressure Pt = Pmo - (ᇞPd - Pro)
Hydrostactic pressure PT = Pma – (Pt - ᇞPd - Pr)

2.6 Air Flow Controller – Pneumatic Units

For every measuring line there is a flow controller unit inside the SML 1000D cabinet.
The air flow controller unit consists of following components:
(1) Purge Valve, (2) Flow Control Valve, (3) Air flow indicator, (4) Air filter , (5) Fiber dry,
(6) Air Regulator, (7) Upper part of modulator (Air flow controller), and (8) Lower part of modulator
(Manifold), see figure on the next page.
2.6.1 Constant Air Flow Controller and Purging Valve

The constant air flow controller includes a check valve in the manifold and a purge valve, a constant flow
control valve, flow indicator, and two barb fittings in the upper part.
The instrument air will flow through the check valve. A spring will push the valve to close when the inlet
working pressure is less than 0.3 MPa.
The flow adjustment screw in front of the controller is used to set the constant air flow to the tank for
optimum measuring conditions.
13
8
7
The air flow screw on the front of the air flow controller will regulate the air flow rate in the pneumatic
measuring line. The set air flow rate is adjusted to increase/decrease by turning the screw
counterclockwise/clockwise.
The air flow indicator shows the actual air flow in the measuring pipe.
It is recommended that all air flow adjustments are carried out to show same air flow rate of
approximately 0.5L/ min on the air flow indicator. The air flow can be adjusted from 0.2L ~ 1.0L / min.
Air purging is used for testing and cleaning tank and draft measuring pipes. The purge valve is opened
turning the knob counterclockwise and closed clockwise.
During purging, the airflow controller is bypassed by opening purge valve knob, and high pressure
supply air enters the measuring line to tank directly.
The purge valve must always be kept closed when tank levels and drafts are measured.
In case the valve is partly open or has a leakage, the tank level shown on the LCD will be higher than
the real tank level. The leakage will result in pressure drop in the measuring line, and the air flow must
increase in the tank measuring pipe to match the hydrostatic counter pressure. Consequently the
pressure acting on the sensor will be higher and the level shown will be higher.
When purging, the tank level will show more than the real tank level because the 5 bar purge pressure is
directly acting on the sensor.
In case the measuring line is clogged, this can be opened in most cases by purging at high/full supply
air pressure 5 or 7 bar.

Air purging flow in air flow controller (A)
Prior to commissioning, the measuring lines should be blown free of any dirt and moisture by opening
purge valve knob (1) counterclockwise.
The compressed air will go through the purge valve to the connected pressure sensor and to the tank
bottom when the purge valve is opened.
During purging, the tank level will indicate full range or more because the compressed pressure air is
acting directly on the pressure sensor.
When finished purging, the purge valve must be closed completely by turning the valve knob clockwise.
After a few seconds, the present actual level measuring result will show on the LCD.
Air flow during tank level and draft measuring (B)
The constant air flow is controlled by the air flow control valve (2), which is mounted on the front side of
the air flow controller unit.
The constant air flow rate can be different in each tank depending on the length of the measuring pipe.
The air flow rate adjustment must be done when there is no counter pressure in the tank so that the
correct measuring pipe flow resistance is obtained.
2.6.2 Adjusting Constant Air Flow

It is important to ensure that the following conditions have been checked before adjusting the constant
air flow rate.
Make sure that:

 the stop valve (6) is open
 the pressure gauge (7) on air dryer unit shows 5 bar after it has been regulated
 the purge valve (2) on the unit is closed completely.
 if the flow control valve (4) is completely closed, the black ball is at the bottom
 the tank is empty. If not, the measuring line must be disconnected from the non-return
valve to measure correct flow resistance.
 in case there is a counter-pressure in the line, the value of flow resistance is much
higher than expected. It means that the level calculation will be wrong.
15
When everything above is checked and done, the constant air flow can be adjusted and then air flow
resistance also measured by shown on the display unit SDU 30c at the same time.
It is recommended to set the ball position at 0.5 L/min using the flow control valve when the above
conditions are met.
If tank liquid filling/unloading rate is low, the airflow rate can be decreased manually from B condition.
Then the normal air flow setting will be below 0.5L/min line on the air flow indicator.
If the tank filling and unloading rate is higher than the measuring result update rate (e.g. updating speed
for tank level on LCD), then the airflow can be increased to be above the 0.5L/min as in figure C.
Warning!
If the flow rate for one of the tanks is adjusted upwards or downwards after commissioning, the
measuring pipe flow resistance must be measured again in empty tank for correct compensation of the
measured tank level, because the measuring pipe resistance is dependent on the actual flow rate. If not
the pipe resistance is measured again for new air flow value, then the tank levels calculated will be
wrong!

2.6.3 Air Purging Procedure

The SML 1000D is an electro-pneumatic tank level and draft measuring system operating at an air
pressure of 4.5-5 bar. Because the system is continuously blowing air at a constant flow rate of 0.5L/min
also into empty tanks, the system is self-cleaning even when the low end of the measuring pipe is close
to the tank bottom, where sediments are found in ballast water tanks.
In case the tank level gauging system is completely shut down, like during dry-docking, there might be
some sediments at, or even inside the lower end of the measuring pipe. If the measuring pipe from the
cabinet to the tank is disconnected either from the non-return valve or at the cabinet, sediments may
enter in the measuring pipe because there will be no air pressure in the measuring pipe after
disconnecting.
17
These sediments may be removed by opening the purge screw on the air flow controller for the
measuring pipe in question. Usually this 5 bar pressure sufficient to open the clogged measuring pipe. In
case the pipe remains clogged after purging at 5 bar, then full 7 bar may be used by increasing the air
flow to full at the air pressure regulator.
How a clogged measuring line is detected?
The clogging is easily observed, because the tank level increases/or decreases even when no pumping
is carried out.
 The tank level increases slowly to full height.
 The flow indicator ball moves gradually towards bottom from original setting.
 The same results are obtained if the measuring pipe is pressed together or bent severely
somewhere between the cabinet and the tank. The condition of the measuring pipe should be
checked to find possible damage.
 If none of the above applies, then there may be a problem with the purge valve.
How to purge a measuring pipe?

1. Open the purge valve (2 in the figure below) by turning the knob on the air flow controller
counterclockwise to purge the measuring line at 5 bar pressure.
2. Let the purge valve be open for 1-2 minutes.
3. Close the purge valve by turning it clockwise until it is closed.
4. The flow rate indicator ball should now show 0.5 L/min.
5. If the ball is not at 0.5 L/min, repeat the procedures 1-3 above 1-2 times.
6. In case the ball after the above is not at 0.5 L/min, proceed as below
7. Increase the pressure from 5 bar to 7 bar by turning air pressure regulator (8)
8. Check that pressure gauge (3) shows 7 bar
9. Open the purge valve (2) on the air flow controller
10. After purging, reduce the air pressure back to the normal working pressure 5 bar
18
What if purging does not open the measuring pipe in the tank?
This is a very rare situation, which we have not observed during our 20 years of experience from electro-
pneumatic tank level gauging on some 3500 ships.
For such a problem, we propose to remove the non-return valve at the tank top or the tank side and to
insert into the measuring pipe a steel wire long enough to reach the bottom. Pulling and pushing this
steel wire up and down should remove any dried mud or similar in the measuring pipe.
After this manual wire cleaning, connect the non-return valve and check that the air flow indicator ball is
at 0,5L/min. Additional purging may be needed to remove remaining loose sediments in the measuring
pipe.
2.6.4 Manifold
As standard, 10 air flow controllers can be connected to one manifold. It is also possible to install fewer
air flow controllers to the manifold. Then a block plate should be mounted to cover the unused flow
controller positions.

2.7 Air Dryer Unit

The instrument air from the air receiver should be dry and clean. However, experience shows that this is
not always the case onboard, especially not for older ships where the compressors may leak oil into the
instrument air.
Consequently, Scanjet Macron always includes an air dryer unit in the standard SML 1000D system
scope of supply.
The air dryer unit is always mounted outside the cabinet(s).The air dryer unit consists of a shut-off valve,
an air filter, a fiber dryer, and an air pressure regulator as standard supply. An oil mist filter can be added
(option), which is installed between the air filter and the fiber dryer as shown below.
The air pressure regulator reduces the supply instrument air pressure from about 7 bars down to 5 bars
for steady air flow.
The drainage from air filter is not automatic. Section 2.7.1 shows how to drain the filter manually.
How often manual draining should be done depends on the air quality from air receiver, and must be
considered based on experience gained onboard.

Cleaning and Replacing Instructions
The bowl (4) should be removed for cleaning and replacing the filter element according to following
procedure:
1. Close the supply air with the shut-off valve in order to eliminate the existing pressure in the bowl
2. Make sure that the mark “▲” (2) on the lever of locker and the mark “▼” (1) on the body.
3. Turn the bowl (4) while pushing the locker lever (3) in arrow (5) direction (counterclockwise) until a
mark (2) sets to another mark (1)
4. Pull the bowl (4) downward in (6) direction
5. If the bowl needs cleaning, please use a neutral detergent. No alcohol or thinner should be used!
6. The filter element needs to be cleaned or replaced if the supply instrument air pressure drop is
equal to or more than 0.07 MPa.
7. After cleaning or replacing the filter element, the bowl (4) must be assembled by reversing the
above procedure.
There are three different types of filters, which can be used depending on the supply air quality.

Draining
Push the cock (7) in the bottom of the filter manually towards left and filter is drained as shown in (10).
After draining is finished, the cock (7) must be pushed towards right (original position).
Please refer to the commissioning and service manual for how to replace the filter element.
2.7.2 Air Fiber Dryer
The compressed humid air enters the air fiber dryer, and flows into the hollow tube in the casing of the
fiber air dryer.
Operating Instructions
1. On the top of the unit, there is an adjusting dial (1) for adjusting the purging air rate, which be set
from 1 (low) to 3 (max).
2. The flow rate capacity is 80 L/min with dial set at 1. This means that one fiber dryer unit is enough
for 60 measuring points at the same tank.

Adjusting the Supply Air Pressure
There is no need to adjust the supply air pressure except in case of purging with 5 bar is not enough to
clean the clogged measuring pipe.
To use full 7 bar supply air pressure for purging do following:

1. The pressure gauge (2) shows the present air pressure and this pressure can be changed by
turning the adjusting knob (1).
2. Unlock the knob by pulling up (3) before turning.
3. The pressure increases by turning the knob clockwise, and drops when turning
counterclockwise.
4. After adjusting, lock the knob by pushing it down again.
2.8 Pneumatic 1:1 Converter

To measure the hydrostatic pressure in tanks where air bubbling is prohibited, such as fresh water tanks
and potable water tanks, the pneumatic 1:1 pressure converter can be used.
The pneumatic 1:1 pressure converter is installed outside the tank as low as possible to tank bottom. It
is connected to the cabinet with one measuring pipe and with a pipe to free air.
Before installation of the pneumatic 1:1 pressure converter, the measuring pipe must be blown clean by
using compressed air to remove any dust/dirt inside of pipe before connecting the line to the converter.
If there is dust/dirt on the membrane surface in the converter, it will not show accurate measuring results.
The pressure converter must be stored indoors well protected from dust and moisture before installing
onboard the ship.
23
Note! There are three connections (A, B, and C) in front of the converter as shown in the figure above.
The air pipe from the SML 1000D cabinet is connected to A. Connection B (air vent) breathes freely into
the atmospheric air. The connection “C” should be plugged if there is no local pneumatic level indicator.
2.9 Sensors
The tank fluid creates a hydrostatic counter pressure against the air flowing out from the measuring pipe
end inside the tank. The draft sensors measure the hydrostatic counter pressure measured from the sea
level down to the location of the draft measuring point.
The hydrostatic pressure acts on the silicon pressure sensor, which has an overload capacity of 3 times
full scale. Every gauge sensor has ion implanted piezoresistive strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge
configuration using micromachining techniques.
The piezoresistive sensor registers the hydrostatic pressure as a resistance change, which is then
converted into a voltage from 0-100mV corresponding to the actual hydrostatic pressure. This voltage is
amplified by the sensor card to an output signal of 0.4V to 3.6V (or 4-20 mA for analog version) and is
compensated for offset, sensitivity, temperature drift and nonlinearity.
The piezoresistive sensor is more accurate and less susceptible to zero setting drift etc. than a
piezoelectric sensor. The piezoresistive sensor in SML 1000D is also temperature compensated for 0O C
to + 60OC contributing to improved performance.
24
Piezoresistive pressure sensor with signal amplification
Selecting the sensor measuring range
The SML 1000D has two measuring ranges for the tank and draft sensors. The sensor range is selected
based on the actual height of each tank and the ship’s draft as obtained from the tank tables.
NOTE! Please make sure you select correct sensor range for each tank and draft measuring
sensor if you need to replace a defect sensor!
Selecting a sensor with big measuring range for a low tank will result in less accurate measurement of
the hydrostatic pressure inside the tank, and consequently the calculated tank level displayed will not be
as accurate when compared with a sensor with small range.
Selecting a sensor with small measuring range for a deep tank will result in wrong measurement for
pressures at higher tank levels, i.e. for levels above the sensor range.
Different sensor types and maximum sensor measuring ranges for SML 1000D
Name Pressure Range Applicable tanks

GSB 30 0 – 21.092 mH2O, gauge Except pressurized tank
GSB 50 0 – 35.153 mH2O, gauge Except pressurized tank
ASB 30 0 – 21.092 mH2O, absolute All of tanks
ASB 50 0 – 35.153 mH2O, absolute All of tanks
2.9.1 Gauge Pressure Sensors

The gauge pressure sensor measures relative pressure, i.e. the actual hydrostatic pressure in the
unpressurized tank directly, because the gauge sensor is self-breathing.
Self-breathing means that the atmospheric air pressure at the location of the cabinet acts on the other
side of the membrane, and the tank pressure, which consists of the hydrostatic pressure and the
atmospheric air pressure on the weather deck on the other.
25
As the local air pressure in the cabinet and the air pressure on the weather deck are in most cases
almost the same, the measured tank pressure is equal to the hydrostatic pressure.
In case the cabinet is located in an area with strong local air pressure variations, such as on car decks
with heavy fans starting and stopping resulting in air pressure variations, also the air pressure
differences must be considered, when calculating the tank levels.
The gauge sensor is mounted on a PCB card with adjusters for zero setting and span.
There are two connections on the sensor card; - one is the electric cable connection on the sensor card
and another is pneumatic urethane color tube connection, which is directly connected to the gauge
sensor itself as well as to the air flow controller.

9 Black acrylic plate cover.
Two pressure sensors cards are mounted on one UM profile, which is mounted on a DIN rail at the back
of the flow controller manifold rack, making access after turning the flow controller rack 90O or more
forward.
Each flow rack contains up to 5 UM profiles with a total of 10 sensors, and a maximum of three racks fits
in a cabinet.
Using a UM profile with two sensors means that not everything needs to be opened and disconnected
for replacing a defect or malfunctioning sensor, but only that UM profile containing the sensor that needs
to be replaced. This is user friendly and saves time.
The tank level and draft sensor cards can be replaced one by one, and are fully interchangeable without
any need for calibration or other adjustments, provided that the measuring range of the sensor is the
same.
The two sensors on the UM profile are protected by an acrylic plate on top of the sensor card.
26
The pressure sensors zero setting & span can be adjusted without removing the acrylic plate cover.
Calculating Tank Levels from Sensor Voltage
All sensor cables are connected to the TB 30 (Terminal Board). The electric signals are transferred to
MCU302 (main Control Processor Unit) with 0.4V to 3.6V that will be in proportion to the hydrostatic
pressure in the tanks and for the drafts.
For sensor cable wiring connection between terminal block (item 1), and terminal board (TB30), please
see section 2.9.2.
The voltage output range after amplification is from 0.4V to 3.6V, and values can be measured on the
terminal board for each channel by digital multi-meter.
The obtained voltage value can be converted to tank level as an approximately value.
Example: It is simple to convert voltage to level mH2O as shown below.

0.4V = 0 mH2O for zero setting
3.6V = 21.092 mH2O (2068.4 mbar) for maximum if GSB 30/ASB 30 sensor is connected
Tank offset = 0.1m
Density = 1025 kg/m3
If the value given is 2.56 VDC
In this example, “X” denotes the converted level from voltage
X = ((2.56 – 0.4) / 3.2) * 21.092 mH2O = ((14.237 mH2O / 1025))*1000 + 0.1 m = 13.99 m
(air flow pipe resistance value is not considered)
When GSB 50/ASB 50 sensor is connected with the same parameters, the results is
X = ((2.56 – 0.4) / 3.2) * 35.153 mH2O = ((23.728 mH2O / 1025))*1000 + 0.1 m =23.25 m
If we use mbar instead of mH2O, we should use conversion factor to change from mbar to mH2O.
(Density = 1025 kg/m3 is equal to 1.025 t/m3)
2.9.2 Absolute Pressure Sensors

The absolute pressure sensor measures pressure, i.e. the actual hydrostatic pressure in the tank
including the atmospheric air pressure acting in the tank.
The absolute pressure sensor is not self-breathing but has a vacuum on the other side of the pressure
sensor membrane.
If absolute pressure sensors are used the system for unpressurized tank level gauging instead of gauge
pressure sensors, then it is necessary to install one absolute pressure sensor on weather deck for
atmospheric reference air pressure measuring.
This means that the atmospheric air pressure on the weather deck acting in the tank must be subtracted
from the measured tank pressure in order to obtain the correct tank level values.
In Scanjet Macron SML 1000D, absolute pressure sensors are used for:
a) atmospheric reference air pressure measurements
b) electro-pneumatic tank level measurements for pressurized tanks
A. Atmospheric air pressure reference measuring
For SML 1000D, which has gauge sensors for measuring levels in unpressurized tanks and drafts, two
absolute sensors may be included inside the cabinet in order to compensate for atmospheric air
pressure variations in case the cabinet(s) is installed in an area with possibly strong local air pressure
variations, such as on car deck(s) or in engine room.
For atmospheric air pressure compensation, one absolute sensor is installed for measuring the on
weather deck air pressure, and the other for measuring the local atmospheric air pressure inside the
cabinet (because the gauge sensors use this local atmospheric air pressure as reference for the gauge
sensor relative pressure.
27
If the cabinet is located in an area with no pressure variations, then ATM reference pressure
compensation is not necessary, and the absolute pressure sensors need not be installed.
Note! Atmospheric reference pressure measuring pipe on deck and inside cabinet
Particular care should be given the installation of the atmospheric reference measuring pipe on deck.
Our experience shows that moisture can accumulate in this pipe if there are any bends, and this will
result in erroneous random tank levels as the measured reference pressure will not be correct.
The atmospheric air pipe end of the on deck should be bent downwards to avoid any ingress of water.
An absolute pressure sensor inside the cabinet does not require any tube connection, because it
measures the air pressure inside the cabinet.
B. Electro-pneumatic tank level measuring for pressurized tanks
Measuring the tank level in pressurized tanks is only possible by using two absolute pressure sensors
for the same tank.
One of the absolute sensors measure the hydrostatic pressure of the actual fluid level by blowing air into
the tank through a measuring pipe extending down as far as possible inside the tank, with the pipe
distance from the bottom to be used as offset. Basically, in the same way as for unpressurized tanks, but
with absolute sensor instead.
The other absolute sensor measures the ullage (space in tank above the fluid) air pressure. The
measuring air pipe can be quite short so that also the ullage pressure at high filling level is measured.
The hydrostatic pressure and ullage pressure act on the absolute pressure sensor located in the cabinet.
The ullage pressure is measured with the other absolute pressure sensor, and the pressure difference
between the two sensors in the same tank give the actual hydrostatic pressure and hence the tank level
can be calculated.
The absolute tank pressure sensors are located inside the SML 1000D cabinet in same manner as the
gauge pressure sensors.
There are no limitations in combining gauge and absolute sensor measurements in the same cabinet
and system. It is only the sensor that is different, the tank pressure signals are processed in same way.
Except of course, if atmospheric air pressure variation requires that the gauge pressure sensors are
compensated. As explained above, pressurized tanks do not need any atmospheric pressure
compensation.
The Scanjet Macron TLG system should be protected from ullage inert gas and other harmful gases by
quick close valve or similar.
The absolute pressure sensor cards are similar to the gauge pressure cards. The only difference is that
the absolute pressure sensor does not have a breathing hole, because it has vacuum on the other side
of the membrane.
28
Pressurized cargo tank for measuring line connection example drawing
One or two absolute pressure sensor cards are mounted in a UM profile on a DIN rail.
All absolute pressure sensor cables are connected to a TB 30 (Terminal board), and the electric signals
are transferred to the MCU 302 (Main control processor unit) for ATM reference pressure compensation
The two absolute sensors for atmospheric pressure measuring should not be connected to other
channels.
If there are only 10 measuring points in the cabinet, then a smaller terminal board TB 16 can be supplied
to which up to 14 sensors can be connected and with 2 channels available for ATM pressure sensor as
Ch15 and Ch16.

from electric shock when replacing a defect sensor.
If a sensor is to be replaced, the DIP switch has to be in OFF position without switching off the main
power supply.
There are four DIP switches mounted on the SW1 board, and one DIP switch has 8 channels
35
SW 1: Channel 1 ~ 8
SW 2: Channel 9 ~ 18
SW 3: Channel 19 ~ 24
SW 4: Channel 25 ~ 30 and including ATM sensor as 31 and 32 channel
The cable wire connection on between sensor card terminal and terminal board TB30 is shown below.
36
In case TB16 (Terminal Board 16) is mounted in cabinet, the DIP switch is available with 14 measuring
points and 2 switches are used for ATM pressure sensor .
SW 1: Channel 1 ~ 8
SW 2: Channel 9 ~14 and including ATM sensor as 15 and 16 channel
Note! UM Profile
Individual adaptation of the UM profile to PCB dimensions means that electronics circuits can be made
rail mountable.
Generally, the UM profile in SML 1000D has 2 pressure sensor cards and a black acrylic protection plate.
The cables between sensor card and TB30 are pair twisted 6 shielded different sheath color wires.
3.4 Digital to Analog Converter (DAU16) – Optional

The digital to analog converter card DAU16 can be supplied with the SML 1000D in case local analog
pointer instruments are installed to show tank levels and/or volumes.
The SML 1000D system cabinet can contain 2 x DAU16 for max. 30 analog outputs. Only one DAU16
can be installed if no more than 15 analog outputs are needed.
Eight RSC21 re-scaling cards can be installed in a DAU16 unit and each card has 2 channels with
individually adjustable zero and span as shown below.
37
X340
RSC21
J103
LD1 LD2
The connector (2) on RSC21 card is connected with DAU 16 main board, and the terminal socket J103
can be connected to either J103-1 or J103-2 on the MCU302 board.
In case 2 x DAU16 units are included in the system, then one of the two is connected to J103-1 and will
be taken care of the analog outputs from channel 01 to 16, and the other DAU16 unit connected to
J103-2 terminal socket on the MCU302 that will work for channels (17 to 30).
There are two green LEDs for DC 24V and DC 5V power supply respectively on the left bottom corner of
DAU16 main board. These are marked as LD1 and LD2.
Following example shows connection between Channel 1 of X340 terminal block on DAU 16 board, and
analog pointer instrument as loop powered connection.
See Commissioning and Service Manual for detailed description on how to adjust zero and span if
necessary.
On the drawing example shown below, terminal block X340 is located on the DAU16 main board and all
of yard cables should be connected directly to X340 terminal block according to electric cable
connection drawing.

The DAU16 can be used with external display as loop powered connection.
Note! The cables to the analog pointer instrument should not be installed close to high current cables or
other disturbing equipment.
The DAU 16 unit can be connected to both analog pointer instruments and digital display units.
In general, the minimum tank level or height for pointer instrument scale is 4 mA, and the maximum as
20mA.
Please see the Commissioning and Service manual, section 3 for menu program for scaling measures.
3.4.1 Supply Air Pressure Switch

A supply air pressure switch is installed in the cabinet, and closes the supply air pipe in case the supply
air pressure drops below appr. 0,3 MPa. An alarm is given to the automation system low supply air
pressure. The alarm is also shown in the LCD.
When air pressure is restored to 0,3 MPa, the switch opens automatically and the alarm is deactivated.
The contact switch is normally closed.
The alarm point can be adjusted with the alarm push-lock knob.
The pressure switch cable for low pressure alarm activation can be directly connected to either the main
board (MCU302), or to an external I/O module.
If the cable is connected to an external system directly, an alarm will not be shown in the SML 1000D
system.

The relay on the MCU302 will activate as normally closed contact (Brown – Black) and as shown above,
the pressure calibrator should be connected to pressure switch air inlet instead of original pneumatic line
when adjusting the switch.
In order to get a new alarm point, a digital multi-meter and pressure calibrator should be connected to
pressure switch, and make sure that air stop valve on air dryer unit is closed before doing connection.
When turn adjusting knob clockwise direction, a new set alarm point will higher than before, and when
turning the other way (counterclockwise), it will be lower.
The adjusting knob should be locked by pushing it down after the new setting is completed and all
disconnected parts should be reconnected.
3.4.2 Power Supply Unit (SNT 30)

A compact single-phase switched-mode power supply module is mounted inside the cabinet. This power
supply module complies with all mandatory national and international standards and approvals.
The power supply unit consists of a transformer for alternating voltage into different direct voltage of any
value. A rectifier circuit is used to convert a secondary alternating voltage into a pulsating direct voltage,
which is then smoothed by means of a filter circuit.

4.3 Service Mode

The service mode is used to set and change the basic measuring settings for each sensor and
measuring pipe during commissioning.
There are 3 numbers in main service menu, and the following description shows the features of each
menu.
1. Calibration
There are two sub-menus for calibration of gauge and absolute pressure sensors. One is pressure
sensor zero point settings and the other is analog output re-scaling.
A. Pressure sensor
The zero points for pressure sensors can be adjusted if the crew has a pressure calibrator.
Before zero point calibrating, ensure that the air supply is stopped and there is no pressure in the
measuring line. The sensor should be kept to atmospheric pressure for zero calibration.
B. AO Rescaling ( Scaling for analog outputs 4-20mA )
As an option, the program can be given to analog pointer instrument as 4-20mA. These scaling
values are set depend on the device measuring range which is printed on scale plate of the device.
2. Setting
There are 3 sub-menus for this setting as below and it can be edited corresponding to specified
information
A. Tank Pipe Offset
The distance from the upper end of sniped measuring pipe to the lowest bottom of tank.
The indicating offset is displayed in meters, and the user should give a new value without decimal
when the value is entered.
B. Density
Unit is kg/m3 (SI standard) and the user should give a new value without decimal when the value is
entered.
To change density from 1000 kg/m3 to 0850 kg/m3.
There is no decimal key on the SDU30c. So, User only press key 0850.
After that 0850 kg/m3 will display on the LCD.
C. AO Simulation
This menu is used to generate current for testing analog pointer instrument if connected as option.
Then the user can verify both the analog device and giving signal
3. Pr
The flow resistance value has to be measured during commissioning and it must be done when the tank
is empty or in similar condition. This is a set value and not automatically changed.
If there is very high flow resistance in some line even if no liquid in tank, then the measuring line is most
likely clogged or bent.

1.2 TLG 1000D Cabinets
There are three different cabinet sizes available for max.10, 20 and 30 measuring points.
The system is designed considering the number of measuring points and the size and location of
cabinets, so that the total number of cabinets and the piping length is minimized.
This way the system and installation costs are reduced. The service friendliness is improved because
the system function and operation can be checked from fewer locations. One cabinet can be addressed
as master and other cabinets are slaves, facilitating reading all measuring point information from master
cabinet.
The cabinet protection class is IP44 (water spray proof) and allowed operation temperature range is 0 to
60℃. For special cabinet locations, such as on ferry ship car decks, higher IP class can be provided, e.g.
IP 56.
1.3 Cabinet Specification

The cabinet contains two parts, the electrical part and the pneumatic sensor part. The electrical part is
located either above the pneumatic unit in the cabinet, or on the inner side of the door. The pneumatic
sensor part consists of one, two or three manifolds with max.10 independent pressure sensors and flow-
controllers. For every measuring point there is one dedicated sensor and flow-controller with built in non-
return valve.

2 Before Equipment Delivery from Factory

All the system components are checked for compliance with approval and other drawings and
specifications before starting assembly. The test certificates for all sensors are checked for compliance
with accuracy requirements and verified with identification/serial number.
All assembled cabinets are checked for compliance with scope of supply and system approval drawings.
All connections, couplings and glands are checked for tightness and leakages. Cable connections are
numbered according to the wiring diagram. All air pipes inside the cabinet are numbered and checked.
Measuring pipe connections from tanks, voids and drafts to cabinet(s) are checked against sensor air
pipe numbering inside cabinet(s).
The system is completely calibrated and tested at the factory after all internal wiring and pneumatic
tubing is finished.
Cabinet and system functionality is tested at the factory. Every measuring sensor is checked from zero
to max. measuring range and back to zero in order to verify compliance with system accuracy
requirement of 0.25 % of full scale.
For traceability management, we always provide the system test data sheets with the delivery. The test
report is generated automatically and will be enclosed inside the cabinet with final documentation.
3 Installation
3.1 Preventive Actions before Installation
Following actions will ensure reliable operation of the SML 1000D system with minimum anticipated
need of service and spares.
a) In case the system has been stored at shipyard for a long time before installation,
please check for possible dirt inside the cabinet(s) and remove it by cleaning air.
b) Do not install or connect/disconnect electrical parts with power on in order to avoid

electrical shocks.
c) Do not open any protection covers/enclosures exposing the internal electrical and
electronic components to water/moisture or dirt.
d) Never connect supply air pipe to system cabinet(s) before cleaning and drying the air
supply lines by blowing air freely! The air pipe may contain water, oil, moisture, and
particles that may influence the proper function of the TLG system.
e) Compressed instrument air is used for measuring tank levels and drafts. It must always
be routed via the air dryer unit in order to avoid condensation, oil, and dirt/particles
inside the air flow controller etc.
f) The supply air pressure is reduced to 4.5-5 bar for steady air flow to tanks thus avoiding
random supply air pressure fluctuation caused by other possible consumers hooking on
or disconnecting from the instrument air supply piping.
3.2 Installation Work Process

It is necessary to follow the installation work process described below in order to avoid any late changes
in the installation and the commissioning, which can directly affect the ship’s construction time schedule
and consequently delay the delivery of the ship.
When Scanjet Macron receives an order from the shipyard or the shipowner, the following installation
6
work flow process will be initiated and applied.
The Scanjet Macron information form is submitted to the shipyard or the

1 shipowner, see Appendix 1
The information form has to be returned to Scanjet Macron with all

2 required information completely filled in for production purposes
The system is delivered to the shipyard according to the scope of supply

3 and approved drawings
The shipyard completes installation of measuring lines, cabinets, and

4 electrical installation with all supplied components and connections.
Installation to be verified according to Scanjet Macron working drawings
Final inspection of installation including leakage testing must be done by

5 shipyard and possible leaks must be repaired before calling Scanjet
Macron commissioning engineer
3.3 Cabinet Installation
The cabinets have been designed to comply with the requirements of IP44 (spray proof) protection class.
The TLG cabinets should not be installed in hazardous (Eex-classified) area without using ex-barriers.
For special installations and locations, please check with Authorities and Class for relevant rule
requirements and possible restrictions.
Several cabinets can be located in same area, or be distributed for instance by fire zones along ship´s
length. There are three different cabinet sizes for max 10, 20 or 30 measuring points facilitating cost
optimization of number of cabinets and supply air piping. The general objective is to reduce the number
of cabinets and the piping length and work.
Sufficient free space must be around the cabinet to allow easy fitting of glands, bulkhead/floor
penetrations and sealings, routing of the cables, and easy installation/connection of pipes to the cabinet.
In front of the cabinet a minimum free space of approx. 700 mm must be provided for the door to be
opened.
7
Cabinet dimensions Free space required for maintenance
3.4 Supply Air
SML 1000D tank level gauging, water ingress monitoring, and draft measuring system is based on
electro-pneumatic principle. This means that the hydrostatic pressure in tanks is measured by blowing
clean and dry instrument air into the tank through special measuring pipes. The pressure is converted
electronically to tank levels. Same principle is used for measuring the drafts.
The instrument air must be dry and clean in order to avoid any condensation or dirt in the measuring
system. Therefore, the supply air is always routed through the air dryer with drainer installed outside
every cabinet. A particle filter is installed close to the air filter for removing dirt from supply air.
NOTE! Before connecting supply air pipe to the tank level gauging system, the supply air
pipeline must be blown clear from any moisture and particles that may be present.
NOTE! If same supply air pipes are used for other systems where water is present, then the other
system MUST be fitted with non-return valves in order to avoid flooding the tank level gauging
system.
The air dryer unit is mounted close to the cabinet(s) and consists of an air filter, a fiber dryer and an air
regulator as standard supply. An oil mist filter can be provided in addition for removing possible oil in the
supply air. The regulator reduces the supply air pressure from about 7 bars down to 5 bars for steady air
flow.

3.5 Piping Installation
In general, piping is not included in the Scanjet Macron scope of supply. Consequently the shipyard or
their subcontractors have the full responsibility for all piping, penetrations, and leakage testing.
The tank level gauging and draft measuring piping consists of following:
 Measuring pipes inside tanks and void spaces/compartments

 Measuring pipes from cabinets to tank side/top and void spaces/compartments
 Measuring pipes from cabinets to draft measuring points
 Supply instrument air pipes to cabinets
 Atmospheric pressure compensation pipes to cabinets
 Globe, shut-off and non-return valve installations
 Bulkhead and deck penetrations, sockets
Leakage testing is to be carried out by the shipyard for all measuring air pipes. Any detected leakages
should be repaired before the commissioning is started.
3.5.1 Measuring Pipe inside Tanks

We strongly recommend using seamless, stainless steel 316, or galvanized steel, with the diameter of
20 mm (3/4”) inside tanks. Other pipe materials must be considered for liquid chemical suitability,
strength, corrosion, and leakage properties before considering installation inside the tanks.
The measuring pipe can be installed from the tank top or from the tank side with welded penetrations
and with appropriate connections such as 5k-25A or DN20 flanges. The pipe should be fastened to the
tank wall by proper support against vibration.
The measuring pipe should be located as close as possible to the manual sounding pipe (if manual
sounding pipe exists). The reason is that the tank levels measured by remote electro pneumatic
measuring technology will then be fairly close to the levels measured by manual sounding tape.
In case the measuring pipe is not located close to the mid of the tank, then the measured tank levels
must be compensated for trim and list in order to show actual level correctly.
Please note that the electro pneumatic system provides very accurate tank levels as opposed to
manual sounding where the pipes can be bent and the levels can be different from the correct
ones.
The lower end of the pipe inside the tank should be at the distance of 50mm ~ 100mm from the tank
bottom.
This distance is called offset and should be measured and stored as a set value for every tank
and void space.
Consequently, there may be some liquid in the tanks even if the system shows that it is empty.
The lower end of the pipe should also be sniped (30o) in order for the air bubbles always to leave from
the higher side of the pipe (=constant offset).
The low end of measuring pipe should never be located close to turbulent areas such as bilge wells,
because the pressure variations during pumping will result in unreliable pressure readings and tank
levels.
For trim and list corrections of tank levels, the location of the measuring
pipe lower end in every tank must be recorded, e.g. the distance from
nearest bulkhead or frame in longitudinal direction (x), in transverse
direction (y) and height from bottom plating (vertical direction, z)
10
11
12
13
3.5.2 Water Ingress Detection Pipe in Void Spaces and Compartments
In void spaces and compartments, the water ingress detection pipe material and dimension (8 or 10mm)
is usually the same as for the measuring line from the cabinet to the tanks, see 3.5.3 below.
The water ingress detection pipes should preferably be located in the forward or aft end of the
compartments because of ship trim.
In case of forward damage, the ship will most likely trim on the bow and the water will then first show in
the forward end of the compartment. For aft damage, the opposite is valid.
For large compartments separate water ingress detection pipes for both port and starboard side should
be considered because of list effects due to flooding caused by side damage.
The location of the measuring pipe lower end in every void space and
compartment must be recorded, e.g. the distance from the nearest
bulkhead or frame in longitudinal direction (x), in transverse direction (y)
and height from bottom plating (vertical direction, z)
3.5.3 Measuring Line from bottom of Cabinets to Deck/Side Penetration
Copper or stainless steel pipe with 8mm or 10mm outer diameter is recommended. Other equivalent
materials must be considered for liquid chemical suitability, strength, corrosion, and leakage properties.
There is no limitation to the total length of the measuring line from the cabinet to the tank. However, if
the total measuring line is longer than 200 meters, the pipe outer diameter should be 10mm because of
higher pipe resistance.
For ships with a length 250+ meters, installing one or more system cabinets in the bow should be
considered because of high pipe resistance.
Multi-core pipe can be used for measuring lines.
We recommend that measuring pipes on deck are protected in order to avoid any accidental mechanical
damage.
The following must be considered when installing the piping:
 The piping material must be selected considering possible risks for corrosion and damage. In
waste handling rooms possible high nitrogen concentration may result in corrosion of the copper
pipes unless these are properly protected.
 All pipe connectors used must be of premium material applicable for marine use.
 Threaded connections must be sealed with pneumatic pipe sealing compound, PTFE tape or
any other suitable and reliable method to avoid air leakage because of vibrations etc.
 Galvanic couples must be avoided for fitting materials when connecting with pipes and
for pipe extensions.

3.5.4 Draft measuring lines
In general, ship drafts are measured at forward, midship port and starboard, and aft locations.
The draft measuring is very accurate using the electro pneumatic measuring system. The drafts are
used to check the ship’s loading condition, i.e. that the ship is not loaded too deep, jeopardizing the
safety of the ship, crew and cargo.
The drafts are also used to calculate the ship’s trim and list in port during loading and unloading.
For forward and aft draft measurements, the draft measuring point should be located as close as
possible to the center line and the hull draft marks. The measuring drafts must be corrected to hull
marks considering the distance from the draft measuring point to the corresponding hull marks.
This way the displayed readings for fore and aft drafts will be the same as those observed visually at the
ship’s bow and stern hull draft marks. Consequently trim and list is considered in the actual draft
readings.
For midship drafts port and starboard, the measuring point should be located on each side of the bottom
and as close as possible to midship hull draft marks.
Note! The draft measuring points should not be installed in areas with cavitation such as close
to sea water intakes or in way of bow/aft thrusters or propellers because pressure variations will
result in unreliable draft readings.
According to safety regulations, all draft measuring lines must be fitted with globe valves close
to the hull penetrations to prevent any sea water ingress.
The globe valves for drafts measuring pipes at ship hull penetrations are generally supplied by the
shipyard and have to be approved by the classification society. Also the hull penetration welding for
drafts are to be approved by the classification society.
In addition, all draft measuring lines must also be fitted with non-return lines for safety to
prevent sea water ingress in case the measuring line is accidentally broken.
The draft measuring pipes from cabinets to draft measuring points are typically 10 mm stainless steel or
copper pipes.
The location of the measuring pipe at sea side must be recorded, e.g. the
distance from nearest bulkhead or frame in longitudinal direction (x), in
transverse direction (y) and height from bottom plating (vertical direction,
z)

3.5.5 Non-Return Valves
There are four different non-return valve arrangements for the protection of any accidental fluid back-
flow through measuring lines from tanks and void spaces and drafts.
1. Air flow controller non-return valve
Every air flow controller unit has a built-in spring loaded non-return valve, which closes
when the air pressure is lost making the measuring line hermetically sealed thus
hindering any back flow from tanks, voids, and drafts.
2. Pressure switch non-return valve

Every cabinet has one pressure switch which automatically closes when the air
pressure drops below 3 bar making all measuring lines hermetically sealed. The
pressure switch is automatically reactivated when the air pressure exceeds 3 bar again.
3. Non-return valves at tank side and top

Depending on type and location of the tank, a non-return valve is fitted at the tank side
or the tank top to prevent back flow from tanks in case the air pressure is lost.
This non-return valve also prevents any leakage in case the measuring pipe outside the
tank is broken. This provides protection against any accidental spray of oil on hot
surfaces and reducing the risk of engine room fires and oil spills in engine room, to the
sea etc.
The non-return valves at tank top and tank side are gravity loaded and must be installed
with housing in vertical position in order to function properly. For side mounting the non-
return valve is 90O bent.
For fuel tanks, side penetrations must also be fitted with a shut-off valve according to
safety regulations.
Note! If a measuring cabinet is located lower than the height of tank measured, the tank should
always be fitted with a non-return valve for safety against fluid back-flow from the tank.
4. Non-return valves for draft measuring points

Every draft measuring point is fitted with non-return valve after the globe shut-off valve
in order to prevent seawater ingress through draft measuring openings.
The specification and application of non-return valves are shown below:
 Maximum working pressure: 0.5MPa

 Connection size for yard copper/stainless steel tube: OD10mm or OD8mm
 Method: gravity based plastic floater with O-ring
 Tank penetration connection size for flange type and location are:

Note! Make sure that the gasket is installed when non return valve is mounted on tank
penetration flange.
20
3.5.6 Pneumatic 1:1 Pressure Converter
Pneumatic pressure 1:1 converters are used for measuring the hydrostatic pressure in tanks where air
bubbling cannot be used for direct measuring, such as fresh water tanks, drinking/potable water tanks,
and edible oil tanks.
Before installation of the pneumatic pressure 1:1 converters, the measuring pipe must be blown clean
by compressed air to remove any dust inside of pipe before connecting the measurement air pipe to the
converter.
There are three connections (A, B, and C) in front of the converter as shown in the figure below.
The pneumatic 1:1 converter should be installed outside the tank as low as possible. Only one
measuring line (A) is connected to the pressure sensor inside the cabinet. The air vent line (B) is not
connected and breathes freely into the air.
Generally, a globe valve is installed between the pneumatic pressure 1:1 converter and the tank so that
the pneumatic pressure 1:1 converter can be dismounted for maintenance.
It is also possible to install the pneumatic pressure 1:1 converter inside of tank with special membrane
only in exceptional cases. Then the air vent line (B) must be connected to outside of the tank.
A pneumatic pointer instrument can be attached to (C). A cover is to be applied at (A) if pneumatic point
instrument are disengaged.
Operation principle:
Clean and dry instrument air from the cabinet is blown through the constant flow controller to the
pneumatic 1:1 pressure converter. The air flow is increased with the fluid hydrostatic pressure until the
air passes through the air vent pipe. This air pressure is measured by the pressure sensor in the cabinet
in the same way as for other tanks.
21
The test connection (4) must be closed during normal use.
Storage instructions:
The pneumatic 1:1 pressure converter must be stored indoors well protected from dust and moisture.
The pneumatic pressure 1:1 converter is delivered with plastic protection covers. The covers shall be
removed during installation, not before.
If the covers have been removed before installation, then the internal parts must be inspected carefully,
and any dirt must be removed before installation using pressure air.
If there is dust and dirt on the converter membrane surface, the pneumatic 1:1 pressure converter
cannot show accurate tank pressures.
3.5.7 Shut-off Valves and Globe Valves
Shut-off valves are to be installed as required by rules and regulations for fuel, fresh water, and other
tanks. This is normally shipyard supply.
Shut-off valves can be installed close to the measuring cabinets for tanks not fitted with non-return valve
to prevent possible back-flow when the measuring air pipe is disconnected inside the cabinet.
A globe valve is required close to the hull opening for draft measuring pipes as safety against flooding
caused by sea water ingress. This is normally shipyard supply.
22
23
3.6 Electrical Installation and Connection

The electrical installation is shown in the system documentation (Connection drawing).
The communication between TLG cabinets, the automation system, and the loading computer is by
standard RS 485 MODBUS RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) mode serial lines.
For more information regarding the Modbus communication, please see the separate Modbus
specification document.
3.6.1 Cable Wiring
Shielded cable type should be used. These cables are completely insensitive to external electrical
disturbances.
It is recommended that the cables are installed away from any equipment which may be causing strong
magnetic field disturbance.
All electrical wiring must have suitable insulation for reliable signal and system accuracy.
Ensure that all electrical connections are properly tightened and that none of them are partial or floating.
Only standard electrical precautions are required.
No special tools or instruments are needed during installation/electrical connection.
Note! Earth wire must be connected to the earth stud on the side of the control box.
 Power Cable
The power cable is EP rubber insulated, PVC sheathed & steel wire braided cable or
with protective covering
 Communication cables
PVC insulated, PVC sheathed & steel wire braided telephone cable with common shield
or with protective covering
 Analog output cables

Multi-core, EP rubber, PVC sheathed, steel wire braided & protective covered cable
with common shield.
In case the system cabinet is fitted with an analog output board, either DAU16 or
ACU16, the cable gland size at the bottom of the cabinet depends on the numbers of
analog outputs.
Other cable glands size will depend on shipyard cable selection.

4 System Checks prior to Commissioning after Installation

Remove any dirt or any loose items in the cabinet before starting system checks. Check all connections
for tightness and tighten them if necessary.
Never connect supply air pipe to system cabinet(s) before cleaning and drying the air supply lines by
blowing air freely! The air pipe may contain water, oil, moisture, and particles that may influence the
proper function of the TLG system.
4.1 Leakage Testing
The leakage testing should be carried out by the shipyard after the system installation has been
completed. This is very important for accurate system performance and reliable operation.
The following actions should be carried out and the testing must be verified before commissioning:
1. The pipe ends of tank inside should be plugged and then the lines should be pressurized
2. Dry and clean instrument air for this leakage testing must be used
3. If any leakage is detected in any pipe connections, the pressure in the line will drop
4. The pipe and flange connections (see the drawing below) should be checked very carefully
with soap water, or similar
5. If any pipe or flange leakage is detected, this must be repaired by the shipyard before
commissioning.
26
27
4.2 Measuring Line Address –Channel Verification
In order for the measuring system to function properly, all measuring lines have to be addressed
correctly according to working drawing.
Following checks are to be carried out after installation for verifying the correctness of the measuring
line addresses:
1. Disconnect male/female connector on non-return valve for tank to be checked

2. Open “purge valve” on flow controller allowing air to flow into the line at full measuring pressure
3. Verify that air flowing at the end of pipe in the tank with same channel specification
4.3 Cable wiring check on terminal block

Check the following cables and cable connections on the terminal block
1. Power cable
2. Earth wire should be connected to the hull
3. Communication cable wiring
4. External output relay
5. Analog output cables are to be connected according to channel specification in
enclosed drawing in the each cabinet if delivered
6. Cable glands are tighten properly after connecting yard cables
