1Properties
VISY-View Touch is an optional part of the VISY-X system (volume information system).
With the VISY-X system, highly precise, continuous level measurements in up to 16 tanks
are carried out directly at the petrol station. The product temperature and the water level
are gauged simultaneously. As an extension, other environmental sensors can be connected.
VISY-View Touch can be used for viewing tank data as an alternative or supplement to a
petrol station computer.
The display component is a TFT colour screen. All functions are accessible using the touch
screen user interface.
VISY-SoftView Touch provides the capability to view current tank data, delivery data and
the various alarms signalled by the VISY-Command control unit. Alarms are signalled visu-
ally by the display module and also audibly by a buzzer. As an option, a printer can be
connected to the serial port.
The display module receives all its configuration data, alarms and product data from the
VISY-Command control unit, which means that no special settings or configurations are
needed for set-up. The control unit must have been configured using the VISY-Setup
configuration program first, see:
Technical Documentation VISY-Setup V4…, art. no. 207158
In addition, it is particularly useful to the fuel tanker driver, who will be able to read tank
levels before refuelling the petrol station.

2Safety instructions
The VISY-X system is used for measuring and evaluating the levels of petroleum fuels in
petrol station tanks. The system must be used exclusively for this purpose. The manu-
facturer accepts no liability for any form of damage resulting from improper use!
The VISY-View Touch has been developed, manufactured and tested in accordance with
the latest good engineering practices and generally accepted safety standards. Never-
theless, hazards may arise from its use. For this reason, the following safety information
must be observed:
•Do not change or modify the system or add any equipment without the prior con-
sent of the manufacturer.
•To connect VISY-View Touch to the power supply, exclusively the included AC/DC
adapter must be used.
•Only use original spare parts. These comply with the technical requirements speci-
fied by the manufacturer.
•The installation, operation and maintenance of the VISY-View Touch must be
carried out only by expert personnel.
•Operators, installers and service technicians must comply with all applicable safety
regulations. This requirement shall also apply to local safety and accident preven-
tion regulations not expressly referred to herein.
•VISY-View Touch is not suitable for outdoor installation. VISY-View Touch is only
determined for using within the VISY-X system and must always be undamaged
and clean.
The safety instructions in this manual are labelled as follows:
Failure to observe these safety instructions will result in a risk of accident
and a risk of damage to the VISY-X system.
Useful tips and information in these instructions that should be observed
are in italics and identified by this symbol.

Design and function description Page 4/11
3.1 Display
The display is a TFT colour screen with touch function (touch screen). The readout
depends on the configuration and the number of tanks, etc. The functions of the
program are executed by touching the screen.
The touch screen must be operated only by finger or by means of a stylus
designed for this purpose. The use of pointed objects (e.g. screwdrivers, pens)
may cause damage to the touch screen.
3.2 Interfaces
VISY-View Touch is equipped with the following interfaces (see Figure 1 and 2):
•Port for the included AC/DC adapter
•RS-485 interface for connecting to the control unit VISY-Command
•RS-232 interface (D-sub 9-pin) for connecting to a printer
As a printer, a thermal printer with 32 columns and serial interface is pro-
vided. The printer is available as an option at the company FAFNIR. For
configuration of the printer see:
Technical Documentation VISY-SoftView (English) – Art. no. 350026
