Conventions used in this manual
This manual includes safety precauons and other important informaon presented in the following format:
NOTE: This provides helpful supplementary informaon.
IMPORTANT: This provides instrucons to avoid damaging hardware or a potenal hazard to the environment, for example: fuel leakage from
equipment that could harm the environment.
CAUTION: This indicates a potenally hazardous situaon that could result in minor or moderate injury if not avoided. This may also be used to
alert against unsafe pracces.
WARNING: This indicates a potenally hazardous situaon that could result in severe injury or death if not avoided.
DANGER: This indicates an imminently hazardous situaon that will result in death if not avoided.
Operating precautions
Working in a hazardous environment presents a risk of severe injury or death if you do not follow standard industry pracces and the instrucons
in this manual. Before you work with or install the equipment covered in this manual, or any related equipment, read this enre manual,
parcularly the following precauons:
IMPORTANT: To help prevent spillage from an underground storage tank, make sure the delivery equipment is well-maintained, that there is a
proper connecon, and that the ll adaptor is ght. Delivery personnel should inspect delivery elbows and hoses for damage and missing parts.
CAUTION: Use only original FFS parts. Substung non-FFS parts could cause the device to fail, which could create a hazardous condion and/
or harm the environment.
WARNING: Follow all codes that govern how you install and service this product and the enre system. Always lock out and tag electrical
circuit breakers while installing or servicing this equipment and related equipment. A potenally lethal electrical shock hazard and the possibility
of an explosion or re from a spark can result if the electrical circuit breakers are accidentally turned on while you are installing or servicing this
product. Refer to this manual (and documentaon for related equipment) for complete installaon and safety informaon.
WARNING: Before you enter a containment sump, check for the presence of hydrocarbon vapors. Inhaling these vapors can make you dizzy or
unconscious, and if ignited, they can explode and cause serious injury or death. Containment sumps are designed to trap hazardous liquid spills
and prevent environmental contaminaon, so they can accumulate dangerous amounts of hydrocarbon vapors. Check the atmosphere in the
sump regularly while you are working in it. If vapors reach unsafe levels, exit the sump and venlate it with fresh air before you resume working.
Always have another person standing by for assistance.
WARNING: Follow all federal, state, and local laws governing the installaon of this product and its associated systems. When no other
regulaons apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A, and 70 from the Naonal Fire Protecon Associaon. Failure to follow these codes could result in
severe injury, death, serious property damage, and/or environmental contaminaon.
WARNING: Always secure the work area from moving vehicles. The equipment in this manual is usually mounted underground, so reduced
visibility puts service personnel working on it in danger from moving vehicles that enter the work area. To help prevent this safety hazard, secure
the area by using a service truck (or some other vehicle) to block access to the work area.
DANGER: Make sure you check the installaon locaon for potenal ignion sources such as ames, sparks, radio waves, ionizing radiaon,
and ultrasound sonic waves. If you idenfy any potenal ignion sources, you must make sure safety measure are implemented.

Introduction
This manual contains the procedure and other informaon for using the UPP® System Integrity
Tesng Kit, model VTU.
The UPP® System integrity tesng kit allows for precise tesng of the ghtness of single wall
underground tank chambers (sumps) and dispenser sumps. The versale unit can also be used
to test double wall dispenser and tank chambers and also the intersal space in secondary
contained (double wall) pipe systems.
Safety Instructions
• The system integrity tesng unit is designed specically for use on fuelling installaons and
should be protected against water and dust.
• The machine should be handled with the care usually given to sensive electrical
equipment, especially during transport.
• Each me the machine is used, the condion of the machine, and especially the power
cable needs to be checked. If damage is discovered, the machine needs to be returned
directly to the supplier or an authorised service centre.
• Before connecng the machine, the power source needs to be checked with regard to the
rang of the test unit (110 or 230 volt - see specicaons).
• Never pull and/or li the machine by its power cable.
• The machine must only be used outside of hazardous areas (zones 0, 1 and 2).
IMPORTANT: Ensure storage tank is completely sealed and isolated from the chamber while
being tested. Storage tanks are not designed to withstand a vacuum and damage may result.
Liability Restrictions
In each of the following cases, all liabilies of the supplier are invalidated if:
• The machine is used outside the indicated applicaon area.
• The operator is not trained to use this machine.
• The recommended maintenance intervals are not observed.
• The safety instrucons are not observed.
• Repairs have been performed by other than the supplier or their authorized agent.
