1 Specifications
1.1. Mechanical:
The 1397E and 1398E are designed to test 5-Wire sensors and ground bonding on a tank truck. The 1397E
tank truck tester is housed in a blue plug with three slot pins and the 1398E tank truck tester is housed in a
black plug with four slot pins.
All dimensions of this worldwide used plug are defined in the EN-NEN13922 “Tanks for transport of
dangerous goods – Service equipment for tanks - Overfill prevention systems for liquid fuels” and the API
(American Petroleum Institute) recommended practice 1004.
1.2. Electrical:
Both testers are electrical the same. And based on the same printed circuit board. Since the testers are only
designed to analyze the 5-wire sensors and ground bonding the electrical parameters stated in the EN-
NEN13922 for 5-Wire sensors applies.
It is not possible to test 2-Wire sensors with these testers.
Battery Energizer Industrial 522 must be used for use in a hazardous environment.
1.3. Specifications external environment

1.6. Directive and Standard Compliance
To use the 1397E & 1398E in a hazardous environment the following directives are applicable.
and only when Energizer 522 PP3 battery is used.
Directive Compliance:
ATEX : II 2 G Ex ia IIB T4
The 1397E & 1398E are designed according to the following standards.
Use of Standards:
EN 60079-0 Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres – Part 0: General requirements
EN 60079-11 Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres Intrinsic safety ‘I’
EN 60529 Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)
EN 13922 Tanks for transport of dangerous goods- Service equipment for tanks- Overfill prevention
systems for liquid fuels
2 Initial installation
No special measures have to be taken to install the tester. This Product is ready for use when taken from the
box.
3 Maintenance
Do not store the tester for a long period with a battery attached. Leakage of the battery and corroding of the
clips may occur
Contact pins are spring loaded and should be clean for proper operation. Replace battery when red light is
flashing rapidly.
4 Operational Use
Place the plug, blue on a 3J-slot socket or black on a 4J-slot socket. One of the spring loaded pins will
energize the circuit. A short green flash on the rear of the plug will indicate that power is applied. A test
sequence is started to analyze the sensors and verifies the ground connection. A bicolor led pattern will
indicate the status of the sensors (see figure 1). A second circuit is designed to verify the connection
between pin 9 and 10. If the impedance is within the specifications of the EN-NEN13922 6.1.2 Bonding. a
white Led is flashing on the rear of the plug. After 10 minutes the tester will be switched to hibernate and the
power to the sensors will be switched off to preserve power. To re-start the tester the plug has to be removed
from its socket and replaced.
5 Key features
•No operating action required
•Bi-color Led indicator for amount of compartments
•Separate White Led indicator for ground verification
•Test ground loop and ground bolt
•Fitted with an approved Energizer 522 PP3 battery
•Available for 3-J and 4-J slots
•Extra diagnostic information available
•Robust and small housing, can be stored in truck cabin
•Auto switch off when removed from socket
•Auto switch to hibernate after 10 min. to preserve battery life

6 Indicators
The tester is equipped with two LED indicators on the back of the plug.
One white Led indicator with the text GND and one bi-color LED indicator with
the text dry/wet.
The white LED informs the user over the status ground bonding.
LED indicator off : Bad or no grounding.
LED indicator flashing : Grounding OK
The bi-color LED indicator flashes green when the sensors are Permissive (dry).
The bi-color LED indicator flashes red when the sensors are non-permissive (wet).
A special green pattern indicates the amount of detected dry sensors.
In case of a wet sensor the pattern will indicate the compartment with the wet sensor in a Red pattern
Since counting up to 12 can cause counting errors the pattern consist of two parts.
A short flash is 1 sensor and a long flash is 5 sensors. This means one long flash and one short flash
designates the sensor in compartment 6 (e.g. see label on the rear of the tester). More patterns are shown at
the end of the document.
The LED indicator flash pattern will be repeated every 5 seconds.
7 Battery replacement.
Remove the screw shown in RED to remove the insert. The battery is
placed on the printed circuit board and snapped into the positive and
negative battery clip. Remove the battery gently and replace the it with
a new one.
Make sure you dispose the battery according local regulations.
8 Safe disposal battery.
This device is marked according the European directive (2002/96/EC) on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment WEEE. Please read attachment on safe disposal
(Disposing of spent batteries/accumulators in the household waste is prohibited!)
