These instructions are made to assist tradesmen and others generally familiar with liquid
storage tank equipment. Most consumers are not qualified to perform the installation
described herein. If you have any question concerning installation or operation of e-Dial™
gauges, contact Rochester Gauges International or one of our authorized distributors for
assistance. Specifications are subject to change without notice. Pressure ratings subject to
change due to temperature and other environmental considerations.
e-Dial™ gauges are designed for center line mounting on bulk storage tanks, or angle
mounting on bobtails or transports. Materials of construction are carefully selected for
compatibility with liquid to be gauged, so the unit you are about to install can be expected to
give long and trouble-free services.
Attachment to Tank
Various adapters are commonly welded or screwed to tanks, and e-Dial™ gauges are bolted
to them. All adapters used must conform to Rochester Machining Standard MS 508.
Inspection of e-Dial™
Before attempting installation of the digital gauge indicator, verify if the gauge is adequate for
your application. The gauges are supplied packed in a cardboard box with a sticker indicating
the model, the main dimensions of the gauge, the mounting position and tank dimensions for
which the gauge has been manufactured and the product intended to be gauge.
Removal of Existing Gauge – Precautions
Should it appear necessary for any reason to remove the gauge from the tank, it is, of course,
presumed that such operations will only be attempted under competent supervision, with
due precautions, against hazard of escaping liquid or gas, with pressure entirely down and no
chance of wind carrying any fumes where they might accumulate or drift near open flames.
A hazard of fire or explosion could exist if proper methods are not used when vessels contain
pressurized liquid or gas, flammable liquids, oxidizers, NH3, or LP-Gas.
Warning
Improper installation or use of digital gauge indicator or barrier may cause serious injury
or property damage. The use of cable other than provided by Rochester Gauges is not
allowed and will void the safety of the device.
• Do not operate e-Dial™ without its protective barrier.
• Do not add or splice cable between the e-Dial™and its Barrier.
• Do not remove gauge bezel screws or bolts.
• Tank contains high pressure and flammable gas.
• A hazard of fire or explosion may exist if gauge mounting nuts, bolts or heads are
loosened or removed.
- CAUTION- NEVER RE-USE AN OLD GASKET, ALWAYS REPLACE WITH A NEW ONE

1. Record the reading on existing dial.
2. Remove the 2 side screws on the left and right
side of the 4” dial. You can now remove the
old dial from its retainer.
3. With the old (4”) dial removed, keep the
two mounting brackets on the Left and
Right side attached to gauge head shown
below on existing 4” dial gauge.
Installation Instructions for e-Dial™
22
Note: For 8” dials remove all three existing
brackets attached to the head and install two
4” dial brackets (0093s00001; sold separately)
with 2 screws (0040-00413) each bracket. You
may use 4 of the 6 screws from removal of
existing dial brackets for 8” dial.
3
3
4. Provided with the e-Dial™ are two metal
standoffs. Screw the standoffs on the
existing mounting bracket holes where the
4” dial was mounted on.
5. Once the new standoffs are installed the
e-Dial™ may be fitted in place over the
standoffs. Torque the e-Dial™ screws to
22 lbf·ft (29.8 N·m) shown to complete
installation.
6. Once the e-Dial™ is powered on after
properly connecting to safety barrier
(Refer to safety barrier installation guide)
and power source, compare the new
Digital Gauge Indicator reading to recorded
readings or estimated tank contents. If the
new DGI is not correct (+5%), the DGI may
need adjustment.

Safety Barrier Installation Instructions
Connect e-Dial™ to barrier instructions
1. Open Safety Barrier box by removing the 4 screws
on the cover. Note box divider separating PCB is not
attached and may fall out.
2. Loosen the gland cover on the unpopulated cable fitting.
Included with each e-Dial™ is a remote safety barrier module to be installed in a
nonhazardous location per SD-581. The safety barrier comes with 5ft (1.5m) of cable
preinstalled. This is the power input for the device. e-Dial™ comes with a minimum 24ft
(7.3m) cable that can be cut to length. Use only a current limited source of ≤ 4.5 Amp to
the e-Dial™ Barrier. Utilisez uniquement une source de courant limitée de ≤ 4.5 Amp à la
barrière e-Dial™.
3. Remove the gland cover on the unpopulated cable fitting. Slide cover onto e-Dial™ cable and
push wires through fitting. Be careful that the waterproof rubber jacket stays in place.

5
4. Pull cable through the water-proof fitting, once the cable’s jacket is past the rubber gasket.
Tighten the glands cover to close the seal to 22 lbf·in (2.5 N·m). Attach the wires to the terminal
block, pay close attention to polarity.
5. Re-install box divider
6. Check alignment of gasket before reinstalling cover
Mount Safety Barrier to Vehicle or Bulk Storage Tank.
Warning: Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or next to sources of heat.
Ideal mounting locations: truck cab, service, or electrical box
Connect Safety Barrier to Power Source
The equipment references neutral as earth. The end user shall ensure that there is no potential
difference between the neutral connections between the e-Dial™ and e-Dial™’s Barrier.
L’équipement fait référence au neutre comme à la terre. L’utilisateur final doit s’assurer qu’il n’y
a pas de différence de potentiel entre les connexions neutres entre le e-Dial™ et la barrière d’
e-Dial™.
Ensure proper termination of the power leads to power source. All leads should be crimped or
soldered and covered in heat shrink.
Assurez-vous que les fils d’alimentation sont correctement raccordés à la source d’alimentation.
Tous les fils doivent être sertis ou soudés et recouverts de thermorétractable.
7. Torque 4 screws to 12 lbf·in (1.4 N·m), now the case assembly is complete.

• WARNING - POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD
Caution must be used when handling or cleaning products so there is no static
charge buildup. Do not wipe off the e-Dial™ sensor with dry cloth. Use only water
damp cloth and allow to air dry for cleaning device. Do not use or install in high
charge areas. See IEC60079-32-1 for further information.
• AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE DE CHARGE ÉLECTROSTATIQUE POTENTIEL
Il faut être prudent lors de la manipulation ou du nettoyage des produits afin qu’il
n’y ait pas d’accumulation de charge statique. N’essuyez pas le capteur e-Dial™ avec
un chiffon sec. Utilisez uniquement un chiffon humide et laissez sécher à l’air pour
nettoyer l’appareil. Ne pas utiliser ou installer dans des zones de charge élevée. Voir
IEC 60079-32-1 pour plus d’informations.
