Specificity Results (in addition to above):
Sensors will respond to any hydrocarbon liquid after its threshold is exceeded.

Comments:
Sensors are reusable. Sensor is easily removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.
The consoles in the 8601 Series are identical other than their name for marketing purposes. Each of the consoles within the series will perform identically.
The 8601 Series consists of the following derivatives: TLS4, TLS4B, TLS4c, TLS4i, and TLS-S1 consoles.
The 794380-350 sensor is a solid-state discriminating containment sump sensor. The sensor detects the presence of fluid in the containment sump and detects whether the fluid is water or fuel. The sensor contains two solid-state sensors which are used to activate either a high level or a low level alarm. The sensor also contains a product sensitive polymer strip that will discriminate between conducting liquids such as water and non-conducting liquids such as hydrocarbons. If the liquid level rises above the threshold of the lower sensor in the containment sump, an alarm condition is generated indicating that there is a low level liquid alarm in the containment sump. If the liquid level rises above the threshold of the upper sensor in the containment sump, an alarm condition is generated indicating that there is a high level liquid alarm in the containment sump. If fuel rises above the threshold of the discriminating polymer strip, a fuel alarm will be generated indicating that fuel is present in the containment sump.
The 794380-352 sensor is a discriminating containment sump sensor. The sensor detects the presence of fluid in the containment sump, the sensor and detects whether the fluid is water or fuel. The sensor contains two float switches which are used to activate either a high level or a low level alarm switch. The sensor also contains a product sensitive strip that will discriminate between conducting liquids such as water and non-conducting liquids such as hydrocarbons. If the liquid level rises above the threshold of the lower float on the sensor in the containment sump, an alarm condition is generated indicating that there is a low level alarm with the presence of either water or fuel in the containment sump. If the liquid level rises above the threshold of the upper float on the sensor in the containment sump, an alarm condition is generated indicating that there is a high level alarm with the presence of either water or fuel in the containment sump.
For both sensors, console alarm is indicated by an audible alarm, a displayed message and a printed message (if the console is equipped with a printer.) The alarm is also recorded as part of Alarm History Report.
Discriminating sensors listed herein that come into contact with gasoline or diesel fuel require cleaning. For cleaning procedures, reference Veeder-Root Manual 577013-814 at: http://www.veeder.com/gold/download.cfm?doc_id=78711
