8.3 Probe Placement
The ideal location for a probe is in the center of the tank. The probe
should be located at least 3 feet (91.4 cm) from the tank fill pipe. If
this distance is less than 3 feet (91.4 cm), the force of the product
entering the tank can cause the water float to rise up the shaft of the
probe. This may cause the Integra to generate a false high-water
alarm. Adjust the drop tube of the fill pipe so that the product flow is
diverted away from the probe.
CAUTION: Integra probes are safe for Class 1, Div 1, Group D
hazardous locations. This includes tanks containing regular, super,
diesel and unleaded gasoline; antifreeze; kerosene; mineral spirits;
oxinol, methanol and methanol blends; motor, torque and
transmission oil; and alcohol. If you have any questions about
whether a product is included in this classification, please contact
your product distributor or OPW FMS distributor. Integra probes
(Model 924A & 924B, EECO, or AST 7100 Flex) must be installed as
described in this section. If the minimum or maximum dimensions
specified cannot be met, do not proceed with the installation.
