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

3Overview
This manual describes the additional features of the Weights and Measures version of the
Multi Scan NXA83, designated as Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83 W&M. The standard
features of the Multi Scan NXA83 are described in the Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83 I&M
manual.
The Multi Scan NXA83 is a configurable system designed for tank gauging and tank
inventory management systems.
It has been designed to fulfil 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.
• It can provide up to 8 serial interfaces, 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.
• There is a 7 in LCD touch screen built into the front of the device, with navigation via the
screen.
• The Weights and Measures version of the Multi Scan NXA83 supports extra functionality
so that the database and operating system can be physically locked and sealed by W&M
personnel. A system that has been sealed cannot have any changes carried out to the
operating system, tankgauging firmware, tankgauging database or any access to the flash
drive.

When the system is locked the following will apply:
• USB ports will not recognize and mouse or keyboard
• USB ports will not recognize any flash sticks
• The internal flash drive cannot be accessed via the network
• Remote control of the Multi Scan NXA83 is disabled
• The Tankgauging display screens cannot be closed, therefore no access is available to the
Windows operating system
This will prohibit any changes to the Windows operating system, the tankgauging firmware
and the tankgauging database.
4.4 Rear access panel
There is a removable panel on the underside of the Multi Scan NXA83, which is used to gain
access to the underside of the LX2 motherboard so that the internal flash memory drive may
be replaced.
This is not an operation that should normally be required, therefore this panel should be
locked at the time of commissioning. It does not need to be unlocked to carry out any
database modifications etc.
The rear panel will be fixed with four screws capable of being lockwired.
To lock the panel, insert a lockwire through the four screws and apply a seal to the lockwire.
