1 – General
1.1. Orientation aids for the manual
We have provided some orientation aids so that you can easily find the necessary information
in this manual.
The information in this manual ranges from imperative safety procedures and standardized
guidelines through to concrete handling procedures and advice. To differentiate these more
easily, the information is marked with corresponding pictograms in front of the relevant text.
These are intended not just to draw particular attention to these passages, but also to make it
easier to find the information you want. Therefore the pictograms are symbolic of the underly-
ing textual content.
The following pictograms are used in this manual:
Danger sign
Danger of explosions caused by easily ignited gases and liquids here.
Risk of operating fault
Actions that may damage the equipment.
Legal notice
Actions that may have legal consequences.
Working step
Concrete action statements, e.g.: “Press the <Enter> key”.
Input necessary
e.g. via numeric or function keys.
☺Positive response message
e.g. “The main menu now appears”
☹Negative response message
e.g. “If a fault message appears now...”
Background information
Option
Special case.
Function
Functional description.
NOTE:
Indicates a special situation.
ATTENTION:
Particular attention is to be paid.
Battery disposal
Ensure that all used batteries are disposed of via suitable disposal facilities.

Apart from the points outlined in the following, all the relevant regulations, such
as IEC / EN 60079-14, must be observed during installation, operation and
maintenance. Only if the instructions below are followed, long and trouble-free
operation can be ensured.
2.1. Preventative measures
2.1.1. To avoid accidents (due to gas explosions)
Ex-protection regulations must be observed!

When carrying out welding work on the vehicle, please disconnect current

upwards.

resistant screws (V2A) with additional shake proof washers are to be used.
The solenoid valves must be mounted upright, i.e. the solenoid coil must point
upwards.
When shortening the cores, observe that absolutely no cable debris falls into
the opened device, since this might lead to short-circuits on the PCB board.
Never produce a connection between the housing/sheath and the 0V strip.
Failure to observe this point can give rise to malfunctions.
2.1.4. To facilitate future service work
• Terminal boxes should be fitted allowing easy access.
• The housings of the electronics system should always be accessible.
• Cables without connectors may be shortened.
• The cover mounting screws should be slightly lubricated before fitting (copper paste,
graphite grease). Thus corrosion of the screws after long periods of operation is prevented
and easy unscrewing enabled.
2.2. Routing the cables in the vehicle
The device/system is intended for use in a vehicle only.
To ensure fault-free operation, the guidelines described in the sections above
must be observed on installation. If these guidelines are not observed, faults
may occur.

2.4.4. Disposal
It is the operator’s responsibility to obtain the necessary information about all relevant
regulations and requirements from your local authorities. Ensure that the relevant materials
are disposed of in an environmentally safe fashion.
The operator is responsible for ensuring compliance with all general and local
regulations which are in force at the time of disposal.
2.4.4.1. Disposal of production materials and auxiliary materials
• Mineral oil products are extremely hazardous to the environment; they must not be
allowed to enter the drains/sewage system or the ground.
• These materials and any objects contaminated with them should be disposed of via
suitable waste disposal facilities.
CAUTION:
The batteries in the controller should be replaced by a skilled person. Used
batteries must not be disposed of as standard domestic waste. Ensure that all
used batteries are disposed of via suitable disposal facilities.
2.4.4.2. Disposal of a functional component or system
• When a functional component or system is taken out of service, we recommend that it
should be sorted into its different types of waste and then disposed of or recycled as
appropriate. Sort and separate iron, nonferrous metals, plastics, electronic waste, etc.
• Fuels, grease, oil and objects or lines contaminated with them must be disposed of
separately.

2.4.5. Proper intended use
The measuring systems are to be used exclusively for delivery of low-viscosity
mineral oils on tank trucks. The corresponding applicable safety regulations
(e.g. Ex protection) must be complied with.
Any form of use which exceeds the scope described above is deemed to be
improper use; the manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting from such
improper use.
Proper use also includes compliance with the conditions set out by the
manufacturer with regard to operation, installation and maintenance.
The measuring systems must only be operated, serviced and repaired by
personnel who are familiar with the equipment and who have been trained
regarding the dangers involved.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damages arising as a result of
unauthorized changes to the measuring systems.

Conditions for metered and calibrated DISCHARGE processes.
The following conditions must be fulfilled for a metered discharge process to take place:
• The fuel level is within the range of the dip table and the slope table.
• The foot valve is open.
• The wet-leg sensor is wet.
• The slope angles for the Pitch and Roll slope are within the configured range with regard to
calibration (i.d.R. +/- 3,0°).
IMPORTANT:
If this is not the case, an 'F' will be displayed above the compartment number.
Conditions for unmetered DISCHARGE processes.
Unmetered discharge processes can occur under the following conditions:
• The fuel level is outside the range of the dip table and the slope table.
• The slope angles for the longitudinal and transversal slope are outside the permissible
configured range. (i.d.R. +/- 5,0°).
IMPORTANT:
Sensor failure will also lead to an unmetered discharge process!

Operation:
This example shows the discharge of compartment <1>.
You can stop the discharge at any time
by pressing the compartment number

and MultiLevel switches to a pause status.
This is indicated by a 'P' (pause)
being displayed above the compartment

You can restart the discharge process at
any time by pressing the compartment

6Ending the discharge process – Measurement / end
Operation:
To end the discharge process, press the
compartment number (the '1' key in the
example shown).
The foot valve and the line valve are
closed and a 'P' (pause) symbol appears
on the display.
The discharge process can then be con-
tinued by pressing <F1> or conclusively
ended by pressing <F3>.
Once the discharge hose has been
uncoupled, the foot valve is reopened
and the fuel level is measured. This is
indicated by an 'M' above the compart-
ment number.
If a valid value is recorded, the foot valve is closed and the end of the
discharge process from compartment 1 is indicated by the letter 'E' above
the compartment number.
This procedure occurs for both the partial discharge and the complete
discharge of the compartment.
IMPORTANT:
If complete compartment discharge occurs, the residual product in the pipe is
not added unless the wet-leg sensor shows the reading 'dry'!

If the wet-leg sensor shows as 'wet' due to the medium passing through from
the compartment, the current discharge process can be started at any time by
connecting the discharge hose and pressing the compartment number as long
as no delivery note has been printed!
The process described is then repeated.
7Ending the discharge process – Measurement / end
Operation:
Discharge all the other compartments
using the same process as for
compartment 1.
Once all the compartments have been
discharged and all hoses and GWG
cables removed, create a printout.
To do this, the compartment
measurement must have ended,
which is indicated by the letter 'E'
above the compartment number.
8Print delivery note
Operation:
Insert paper into the printer and press
the <Print> key on the MultiLevel control
panel.
You will now be asked to select a
form layout <F1> / <F2>. For example,
