Leak Detection
6.1
Volumetric Line Leak Detector (VLLD) Sensor
Part No. 30-3251
Designed to detect a leak in pressurized product piping by monitoring
flow when the submersible pump is running and no one is dispensing
fuel. The sensor (Figure 6-1) utilizes an internal flow meter to detect
and measure flow and provides an alarm condition if a leak is
detected. An alarm condition will also occur if the cable is broken. The
use of this sensor requires the addition of an external Line Interface
Module (LIM) for each four (4) lines.
*Maximum Wiring Length is the maximum length of cable to be used
to connect all sensors on an individual channel. The length includes
run of cable from VSmart to each sensor board in the string.
