Veeder-Root Launches the TLS-450 for Automated Compliance Management

Veeder-Root is pleased to launch the new TLS-450 Automatic Tank Gauge. The TLS-450 provides gas station owners with automated compliance management to maximize station uptime, avoid fines and reduce costs.

The cost of compliance is rising due to heightened enforcement of regulatory requirements. Today, proving compliance is a manual, mistake-prone, paper-driven process.  Furthermore, failing compliance can result in costly fines and shut down of stations. “Our customers told us that they needed a more cost-effective and reliable way to manage compliance,” said Matthias Bolling, Vice President of Marketing for Veeder-Root. “With the TLS-450, proving compliance is an automated process. Reports are electronic and easily accessible, making compliance reporting more efficient and accurate.” The TLS-450 provides automated compliance reporting by storing and organizing up to three years of compliance history, and producing inspector-ready reports with a single touch.

In addition, many states are implementing mandatory operator training. The TLS-450 simplifies training and helps operators avoid making costly mistakes by guiding them to respond with fast and accurate action to alarms.

Speedway SuperAmerica (SSA) currently has TLS-450s installed and is taking advantage of the TLS-450’s automated compliance management features. “SSA finds benefit in the automated compliance reporting function of the TLS-450 due to the ease of access for state inspectors, contractors and internal maintenance personnel as data is now immediately available,” said Michelle McKee, Manager Environmental Compliance, Speedway SuperAmerica.

The TLS-450 also helps owners improve productivity and business management, by providing total access to site data twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Owners can access and monitor their sites via any Web browser on their PCs. Using the TLS-450 Direct Access Software™ on a PC, operators can securely control and modify configuration upgrades and diagnostics using the same user interface locally and remotely.  A variety of customizable options for access, control and data storage lets owners tailor the TLS-450 to fit the unique requirements of their operations.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
