1. General Information
As stationary part of the Overfill Preven-
tion System for liquid fuels, the explosion-
proof control unit type EUS-2 complies
with the requirements on overfill preven-
tion systems for bottom-loading tank
trucks according to Annex IV of VOC-Di-
rective 94/63/EC as well as with European
standard EN 13922 and American API RP
1004 recommendations. Timm has com-
bined its longterm competencies in ex-
plosion protection and experiences in
overfill prevention in this control unit.
EUS-2 is characterised by ease of installa-
tion, convenient operation, functional
safety and a user-friendly state-of-the-art
explosion protection concept (IEPC) de-
signed by Timm.
2. Functional Principle
To ensure a safe filling process, the overfill
prevention controller EUS-2 provides
three main functions:
Overfill prevention
Grounding verification
Vapour recovery monitoring
During loading of tank trucks, the level
sensors at the truck (one sensor per tank
compartment) are connected to the con-
trol unit at the filling gantry by a standard
plug and socket connection. The level
sensors are positioned in the top of each
tank compartment deep enough to as-
sure that once a sensor gets activated,
product flow stops before the compart-
ment is completely full. In case a sensor
senses liquid, the control unit triggers to
shut-off the product flow for all compart-
ments to prevent leakage of fuel or the
compartment’s bursting.
When being connected to a tank truck,
the control unit EUS-2 detects the type of
level sensors (optic/thermistor), the sen-
sor installation (five-wire/two-wire) as well
as the way of ground verification (re-
sistance/ ground bolt) and activates auto-
matically the required operating mode.
For a wide range of applications, tank
trucks with up to twelve five-wire sensors
and eight two-wire sensors are supported.
The control unit verifies permanently the
correct grounding of the truck via the
connection cable. The preset limit value of
this verification can be set according to in-
dividual requirements exceeding EN
13922 requirements.
The vapour recovery hose connection is
monitored on the tank truck via an elec-
tro-pneumatic interlock switch, which is
looped into the grounding verification
line. The control unit EUS-2 ensures that
filling is only possible if the vapour recov-
ery system and the grounding line are
connected properly.

3. Special Features
3.1. Compliance to latest European
and American Standards
The EUS-2 control unit is designed in full
compliance to the newest editions of Eu-
ropean ATEX and EMC Standards, Euro-
pean Standard on Overfill Prevention EN
13922 as well as to American Guideline API
RP 1004. With Timm Elektronik being an
independent manufacturer, full compati-
bility to corresponding truck equipment
and level sensors of other manufacturers
is ensured for operation worldwide. The
control unit EUS-2 is capable to detect au-
tomatically the type of counterpart truck
equipment and activates the required op-
erating mode. With the offered discon-
nector sockets, cables with plugs for the
different receptacles can easily be ex-
changed or even connected to the con-
troller at once.
3.2. Intelligent Explosion Protection
TIMM`s intelligent explosion protection
concept (IEPC) combines protection by
intrinsic safety, increased safety, powder
filling and protection by enclosure. With
this unique combination of the types of
protection, the main housing can be
opened in gas hazardous areas when
power is switched on for configuration
and service (e.g. for setting the additional
control outputs or the display language).
3.3. High Functional Safety |
Fail Behavior
All safety related functions, internal com-
ponents and the external wiring are mon-
itored continuously by the device itself.
Filling release is permitted only if periodic
self-testing operates properly.
3.4. Bright Signal Light
The EUS-2 unit is equipped with a clearly
visible bright multi-colour LED signal
light. With its bevelled edges, the light is
visible in a wide angle. This leads to unam-
biguous indication of operational status
and time efficient utilisation at filling sta-
tion.
3.5. Graphic Display
The large graphic display indicates clearly
visible the actual operating status and
auto-diagnosis information as plaintext
messages. In combination with the joy-
stick control, a simple, menu-driven and
self-explaining configuration of the con-
trol unit and easy failure analysis is pro-
vided. Several character-sets are available
for different languages.

3.6. Easy Configuration by Joystick
For easy configuration at the installation
site (e.g. of the configurable control out-
puts K3, K4 and E2), the EUS-2 unit fea-
tures a unique joystick control. It is situ-
ated well accessible on the backside of
the front cover inside the units housing
and allows an intuitively configuration
with concurrent view to the graphic dis-
play.
3.7. Reliable Ground Verification
The EUS-2 unit features continuously
grounding verification and the ability for
setting the grounding limit value exceed-
ing EN 13922 requirements. Grounding is
monitored reliable independent from
truck configuration:
Trucks with grounding lines di-
rectly connected to the chassis
(EN 13922)
Trucks with grounding verification
via recognition device
(‘ground bolt’)
With a strict grounding limit value, wear-
ing off or dirt at the plug and socket
connection will be noticed in time for pre-
ventive measures.
3.8. Control Outputs | Data Interface
Six control outputs enable advanced op-
tions for connecting the control unit ac-
cording to individual customer needs:
2 Contact Release Outputs
(redundant, potential-free,
intern monitored)
1 Electronic Release Output
2 Configurable Contact Outputs
1 Configurable Electronic Output
The serial data communication interface
eases process integration. Operational
state commands can be transmitted to
external process control systems. This al-
lows remote diagnosis and process visual-
isation.
The analysis of the different control sig-
nals enables to distinguish, whether a fill-
ing process got interrupted by a correcta-
ble error (e.g. missing vapour recovery
hose connection) or an actual overfilling.
3.9. Extended Area of Application
The type of explosion protection makes
the control unit applicable to Gas Group
IIB for filling even pure Ethanol. Further-
more, with its extended temperature
range from -40 °C up to +60 °C, the device
provides reliable operation under extreme
climate conditions.
