1 Document information
1.1 Target audience for this manual
This manual should support the operating personal working on a regular basis with the Tank
Gauging System understanding the possible tasks they have to perform and should serve as
encyclopedia for those tasks.
Beside basic PC operating knowledge no special training is needed to perform the Tank
Gauging System operations. Nevertheless it is recommended receiving a training on the
system by Endress+Hauser.

Instructions. The device is equipped with security mechanisms to protect it against any
inadvertent changes to the device settings.
IT security measures in line with operators' security standards and designed to provide
additional protection for the device and device data transfer must be implemented by the
operators themselves.
Endress+Hauser can be contacted to provide support in performing this task.
2.3 Designated use
2.3.1 Applications
Inventory control
By using Tankvision Multi Scan to monitor the tank level and stored volume of valuable
liquids remotely, owners or operators of tank farms or terminals for petroleum products and
chemicals (liquids) can visualize the volume of the stored medium in real time. The data can
be used to plan the inventory and distribution. The data can also be used to manage tank
farm operations like pumping or transferring products. Tankvision has its unique concept
using network technology. Without using proprietary software, the users can visualize and
manage their valuable liquids stored in the tanks by a web browser. Tankvision Multi Scan
is a flexible and cost effective solution due to its scalable architecture. The application
coverage goes from small depots with only a few tanks up to refineries.
Inventory Calculations
Tankvision Multi Scan calculates based on measured variables and tank capacity tables:
• Observed/Gross volumes,
•Netvolumesand
•Mass
of products like
• Hydrocarbons,

Basic safety instructions Tankvision
6Endress+Hauser
• Liquefied gases,
• Asphalt.
They are corrected according to international standards, including API/ASTM tables 5A, 5B/
6, 53A, 53B/54, 23/24, LPG.
This includes temperature corrections at 15 °C, 60 °F and alternative temperatures.
Additionally, available pumpable volumes and water volume are calculated.
Remote configuration of measuring equipment
Some on-site operations can be avoided using remote configuration of measuring equipment
during commissioning or maintenance (the availability of this feature may depend on the
system configuration).
Application areas
• Tank farms in refineries
• Ship loading terminals
• Marketing and distribution terminals
• Pipeline terminals
• Logistic terminals for tanks storing products like crude oils, refined white and black
products, chemicals, LPG

Tankvision Introduction
Endress+Hauser 9
4Introduction
The Multi Scan NXA83 is a configurable system designed for tank gauging and tank
inventory management systems. It has been designed to fulfill a number of requirements
some of which are listed below:
• Act as a foreign device gateway allowing old legacy equipment and devices with
proprietary interfaces to interface with modern devices using OPC and Ethernet
Technology.
• To provide a complete tank gauging and tank inventory management system for small
sites. It can interface directly with a wide variety of tank gauging devices and provide a
number of communication links to host devices. The Multi Scan NXA83 polls the field
instruments maintaining an in-memory database of live and calculated data whilst also
being able to service host computers for data.
• Up to 8 serial interfaces can be provided, capable of supporting a range of different
electrical interfaces such as RS232, RS485, BPM, Current Loop etc.
• An Ethernet port and two USB ports are also provided.
Two versions of the Multi Scan NXA83 are available, Wall Mount and 19 in Rack Mount.
Both versions have the option to have a 7 in touch screen built into the front of the device to
view and navigate through the different display options.

5Operation
This section will describe the normal operation of the Multi Scan NXA83 and the
interactions with the user screens.
The screens shown on the LCD display are highly configurable. Whilst those shown in this
section are only examples of what can be displayed, the basic navigation between screens
will remain the same.
For more information on configuring the displays refer to the Multi Scan NXA83
Configuration manual (BA01291G).
5.1 Starting and Stopping
When power is applied to the Multi Scan NXA83 the Green power LED will be illuminated
and the Windows XPe operating system will start to boot.
This will take around three minutes, during which time a number of windows boot messages
will be displayed before automatically logging into the user account, at which point the
Endress+Hauser wait message will be displayed.
NXA83_E+H_Wait_Message
The boot will be complete when the GridView display is shown. At this point the system is
fully operational, with all interfaces active (master and slaves).
NXA83_Display_Grid-View
It is perfectly safe to switch off the power without shutting down the operating system. The
Multi Scan NXA83 contains an Enhanced Write Filter which protects the system from being
corrupted due to a loss of power (see configuration document for description).
