Tankvision Basic safety instructions
Endress+Hauser 5
2 Basic safety instructions
2.1 Requirements for the personnel
The personnel for installation, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance must fulfill the
following requirements:
• Trained, qualified specialists: must have a relevant qualification for this specific function
and task
• Are authorized by the plant owner/operator
• Are familiar with federal/national regulations
• Before beginning work, the specialist staff must have read and understood the instructions
in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation as well as in the
certificates
(depending on the application)
• Following instructions and basic conditions
The operating personnel must fulfill the following requirements:
• Being instructed and authorized according to the requirements of the task by the facility's
owner operator
• Following the instructions in these Operating Instructions
2.2 IT security
We only provide a warranty if the device is installed and used as described in the Operating
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

Basic safety instructions Tankvision

of products like
• Hydrocarbons,
• 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

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.
