Owners Manual 2-1
Section 2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
2.1 Main Functions
The OMNTEC®Mfg., Inc. OEL8000II is an easy to use system that monitors
underground and above ground storage tanks and piping systems. It is used with
single wall and double wall steel or fiberglass tanks. Its two main functions are to
detect leaks and to provide the owner with an efficient inventory monitoring system.
A loud (up to 95 dB) horn and an LED (light emitting diode) on the controller panel
are simultaneously activated to alert the owner when an alarm condition occurs. The
LCD (liquid crystal display) identifies the cause and location of the alarm condition,
and the controller’s optional printer can be used to provide a permanent record of all
data and alarm occurrences.
2.2 System Components
The OEL8000II consists of a controller panel and a combination of probes and
sensors. The probes and sensors are installed in the storage tanks, interstitial spaces,
piping sumps, double wall piping, dispenser pans, dykes, and observation wells for
monitoring the tank contents and detecting leaks. These are connected to the
controller via electrical cables that are run inside conduit. Unlike other types of
electrical installations, special installation and wiring techniques are used by
authorized installers who are qualified using intrinsically safe design principles (NEC
procedures) and are familiar with the OEL8000II Installation Manual.
WARNING
All installations and repairs must be performed by
authorized installers. Do not attempt to perform any
repairs yourself. Failure to comply may create an
electric shock or explosion hazard that can result in
death, personal injury, or property damage.
2.2.1 Controller
The controller is a programmable device that is wall-mounted within a non-hazardous
area where it can be easily seen and heard. It monitors all of the probes and sensors
and alerts the owner when a warning or alarm condition occurs (see Figure 3-1). If
outdoor installation is required, an ENC-4X enclosure, heater, and thermostat are
available. Contact OMNTEC® Mfg. Inc. for assistance.

2-1).

OEL8000II
Owners Manual 2-3
2.2.1.3 Warnings, Alarms, and Setpoints
The OEL8000II controller will respond to certain conditions by initiating an alarm,
warning condition, or a programmed response when the product level rises or drops
to a specific setpoint.
The controller responds to a warning condition by displaying a message on its LCD.
If the system includes a remote annunciator, its LED will flash.
In the event of an alarm, the controller will illuminate its red ALARM LED, activate
its audible alarm, and display a message on its LCD. If the system includes a remote
annunciator, its LED will illuminate and its audible alarm will also be activated.
Pressing the ACK key on the controller’s front panel will silence the horns, but the
LEDs will remain illuminated, and the controller’s LCD will continue to provide
alarm data until the alarm condition has been eliminated.

Table 2-1: Controller Alarm and Warning Response
* Factory disabled. End user can enable function and set alarm to trigger at any
level up to 90%.
Following is a description of the system’s warnings, alarms and events. Table 2-1
shows how the system responds to these occurrences.
♦High/High Level Alarm – occurs when the product level in the tank reaches an
emergency height during a fill condition. The factory default value is 90%, but
this can be adjusted up to 95%.
♦Overfill Alarm – similar to High/High Level Alarm. It is factory disabled but can
be enabled by the end user, and the trigger can be set at any level up to 90%.
♦High Warning – occurs when the product level in the tank reaches the
programmed high warning level.
♦High Product Level – occurs when the product in the tank rises to the
programmed high product level. This is a setpoint that can be used to initiate a
programmed response such as triggering a relay. It is not a warning or an alarm.
♦Low Product Level – occurs when the product in the tank drops to the
programmed low product level. This is a setpoint that can be used to initiate a
programmed response such as triggering a relay. It is not a warning or an alarm.
♦Delivery Needed Alarm – occurs when the product level has dropped to a level at
which point a delivery is needed.

OEL8000II
Owners Manual 2-5
♦Low/Low Level Alarm – programmable feature, occurs when the product level in
the tank drops to a critical level.
♦High Water Alarm – programmable feature, it occurs when the water level in the
tank is too high.
♦Sensor Alarm – occurs when a leak has been detected.
♦Sudden Loss Alarm – occurs during VLD testing indicating a large loss that is not
consistent with a leak (e.g., pumping gas while test is in progress).
For all alarms, the LCD and the printer will identify the probe or sensor that initiated
the alarm.
2.2.1.4 Inventory Management
The controller provides product volume data for each tank and maintains logs
showing changes in inventory volume due to deliveries and usage during shifts.
♦Inventory Increase Detection (DROP)
Inventory increase detection determines when a delivery is being made. This
feature is automatically activated when the system detects an increase in volume
that is in excess of a preprogrammed value. Upon activation, the system will wait
for several minutes for the contents to settle and then store the data. The controller
will store data for up to five deliveries per tank and up to forty (40) deliveries for
the entire system. Afterwards, it will delete the oldest data each time a new
delivery is made.
Note: To obtain an automatic printout following a delivery, the DROP mode
must be enabled (see Section 3.2.2.8 – DROP E/D Submenu).
CAUTION
Do not dispense product from tank between delivery
and printout. Failure to comply will yield false data.
♦Shift Function
The Shift function is designed to automatically print tank volume information at
the end of employee shifts. A printout is provided at the end of each employee
shift to reflect that shifts start volume, end volume, and delta volume for each tank
connected to the system. The Shift function can be designed for 1 to 4 different
daily shift times. Below (see Figure 2-2) is an example of the automatic printout
(in this case shift #1 begins at noon and ends at 8:00 PM).
Note: An authorized, qualified installer must program this feature. The installer
should refer to the programming section in the OEL8000II Installation Manual.

System Description
2-6 OMNTEC®Mfg., Inc.
2.2.1.5 Volumetric Leak Detection (VLD)
Using the tank’s magnetostrictive probe, the controller performs a highly accurate
volumetric leak detection test (VLD). The end user has the option of selecting the
0.1 gal/hour or the 0.2 gal/hour EPA standards for comparison purposes. A printout
will provide the results of the comparison. The system stores the VLD data of the last
thirty-two tests.
The automatic VLD feature is used for setting a specific time interval for running the
VLD test. It can be run automatically every day, every week, or every month at a
specific time of the day. Remember that the VLD test time is 4 hours long plus dwell
time, and while the test is being conducted the product level must remain constant.
This feature also automatically prints the VLD test results.
Note: The automated VLD feature must be enabled by an authorized installer as
instructed in the programming section of the OEL8000II Installation Manual.
2.2.1.6 System of Measurement
The OEL8000II can be configured in the SETUP submenu to display data using
either the standard English system of measurement or the Metric system, but not
both.
