7. Replace the wire channel cover.
8. Restore power to the DL8000.
2.5 5BInstallation Planning
Installation planning is very important due to the DL8000’s physical
and functional reconfigurable capabilities. Installation planning consists
of the following three major tasks.
 Assure that the DL8000 contains the required number and type of
process I/O boards to monitor and control the other devices in the
product delivery system.
 Determine the functions the DL8000 will perform. You selectively
enable these functions during the DL8000’s configuration
procedure.
 Design the mechanical/electrical installation with special
consideration for both the operator’s safety and ease-of-use and the
maintenance technicians’ safety and ease-of-access to instruments
and devices.
2.6 6BMechanical Installation
In planning the physical installation of the DL8000, consider ease of use
of the instrument with the operator in a safe and comfortable position.
Also consider how maintenance tasks may be performed without
disrupting ongoing product delivery operations in close proximity.
Drawing rough diagrams of normal operator actions during the different
possible batch delivery related tasks may be helpful. Note especially the
operator’s location in relation to the location of one or two tanker
vehicles and their related loading arm and bottom loading hose
connections.
Some location or position restrictions may be present when a DL8000 is
retrofitted or upgraded into an existing installation. However,
mechanical installation planning should still be performed. It may be
possible to correct an existing inconvenient controller mounting location
in a current loading rack installation when retrofitting a DL8000 at the
installation.
Following are the major steps performed during installation.
1. Plan the installation.
2. Fabricate device supports and lay electrical conduit.
3. Mount the DL8000 and other load rack devices.
4. Run and connect all wiring.
5. Verify and tag each wire.
