TRS Series Start-Up and Test Procedures

Follow these steps when installing your Tramont Manufacturing TRS-Series day tank to ensure proper operation of the system.

PRIOR TO INITIATING START-UP AND TEST PROCEDURES,

VERIFY THE FOLLOWING:

• Consult with authorities having jurisdiction to determine local installation

and operation requirements.

• Plumbing and electrical work must be performed by qualified service

personnel.

• Install any shipped loose tank accessories.

• Check all pipe connections and fittings on the tank and tighten as necessary

to avoid leakage.

• Normal and emergency vents are recommended to be extended above the

top of the main tank.

• If the main tank is located below the day tank, the day tank overflow line shall

be continuous piping, without valves or traps, back to the source tank or to

a collection system.

• If it is not possible to pipe the overflow line unimpeded in a continuous downward path, then a reverse pump is

necessary to return fuel to the source tank or collection system.

• If the main tank is located above the day tank, a strainer and solenoid valve must be installed to prevent fuel from

siphoning from the main tank. The strainer must be placed before the solenoid to help prevent debris from clogging

the valve:

If the supply pump is mounted on the day tank, install the strainer and solenoid valve at the supply pump inlet.

If the supply pump is not mounted on the day tank, install the strainer and solenoid as close as possible to the

day tank inlet. If the solenoid is too far from the inlet it may cause a high fuel level alarm when fuel drains back

into the tank.

• The day tank must be positioned so that the highest fuel level in the tank is lower than the fuel injectors on the

generator. (Verify injector height with generator manufacturer).

• TRS Series tanks include the following standard fuel level settings. Levels may vary on tanks with custom settings.

Single Supply Pump Duplex Supply Pumps

PUMP ON: 87% 1ST PUMP (A OR B) ON: 87% 2ND PUMP (A OR B) ON: 75%

PUMP OFF: 100% 1ST PUMP (A OR B) OFF: 100% 2ND PUMP (A OR B) OFF: 100%

NOTE: Sequence of pump operation (A or B) depends upon lead-lag cycle.

Single and Duplex Pumps

HIGH FUEL LEVEL: 106% CRITICAL LOW FUEL LEVEL: 6%

LOW FUEL LEVEL: 62% CRITICAL HIGH FUEL LEVEL: 112%

Note: CRITICAL HIGH FUEL LEVEL is an optional feature that uses the same indicator light as the HIGH

FUEL LEVEL.

IMPORTANT! If system start-up and test results deviate from the description on the following pages, consult the troubleshooting

guide included with the tank, or contact Tramont Sales and Service.

FILLING THE TANK

IMPORTANT! If power to the System 2000PLUS Electronic

Control Module (ECM) is interrupted at any

time the pumps will activate and the tank will

fill to 100% capacity when power is restored.

This includes the first time you energize

the ECM.

1. Make sure motor starters are connected (if applicable).

2. Energize the ECM. This will activate the pump.

• IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO FILL THE TANK AT THIS TIME:

Immediately press the OFF button. This will deactivate the

pump. The POWER ON button will remain illuminated.

(FIGURE 1) When you are ready to fill the tank press the ON

button and follow the steps below.

• IF YOU WANT TO FILL THE TANK AT THIS TIME:

Do not press the OFF button after energizing the ECM. The

POWER ON indicator light will be illuminated, the pump will

activate and the tank will begin to fill. As the tank fills, the

PUMP RUNNING, ECM FUNCTIONAL, LOW FUEL

(flashing), CRITICAL LOW FUEL (flashing) and EMPTY

indicator lights will be illuminated. (FIGURE 2)

IMPORTANT! If the tank duplex supply pumps, both will activate. The PUMP

A RUNNING and PUMP B RUNNING lights will be

illuminated until the tank is completely filled. See page 3 for

duplex ECM illustrations.

IMPORTANT! Verify that the fuel line and pump quickly achieve prime and

fuel is flowing freely into the tank. “Running dry” will cause

permanent damage to the pump and motor.

IMPORTANT! If fuel leakage is detected, immediately stop filling the tank.

Make sure tank is plumbed correctly and tighten fittings as

necessary before restarting fill.

3. As the tank continues to fill, the CRITICAL LOW FUEL light

will go off, and then the 10% FUEL LEVEL indicator light will

become illuminated. (FIGURE 3)

4. As the tank continues to fill, the 25%, 50% and 75% FUEL

LEVEL lights will be illuminated. The LOW FUEL light will go off

once the tank exceeds 62% capacity. (FIGURE 4)

5. When the tank is completely filled all FUEL LEVEL lights

will be illuminated. The PUMP RUNNING light will go off.

TESTING THE OVERFILL LINE

For tanks with a gravity fed return line The purpose of this test is to verify that the overfill line is plumbed in

a continuous downward path with no obstructions so that excess fuel

flows unimpeded back to the main tank.

IMPORTANT! Carefully monitor the fuel level while performing these steps. If the

overfill line is not plumbed correctly and fuel continues to enter the

day tank a fuel spill may occur.

1. Press and hold the TEST button on the front of the ECM. All

indicator lights will be illuminated, and the pump will activate.

(FIGURE 1) If the tank is equipped with duplex pumps both will run.

(FIGURE 2)

2. Monitor the fuel level in the tank. Make sure as fuel rises to the

level of the overfill fitting that:

• The fuel level goes no higher than the overflow fitting.

• The excess fuel flows unimpeded back to the main tank.

3. Release the TEST button.

For tanks with a reverse pump The purpose of this test is to verify the proper operation of the reverse pump when the tank exceeds a high fuel level.

IMPORTANT! If the reverse pump does not activate and deactivate as described below consult your electrician or contact Tramont

Sales and Service.

IMPORTANT! The reverse pump operates independently of the supply pump. It is activated by a separate, normally closed, critical

high float switch.

IMPORTANT! Carefully monitor the fuel level while performing the following test. If the reverse pump does not activate the tank

will continue to fill, and a fuel spill may occur.

IMPORTANT! Verify that the overflow line includes no valves or traps and that the fuel flows unimpeded back to the main tank. If

the flow is obstructed a fuel spill may occur.

1. Press and hold the TEST button on the front of the ECM. All indicator lights will be illuminated, and the supply

pump will activate. (FIGURE 1) If the tank is equipped with duplex pumps both will run. (FIGURE 2)

2. When the tank reaches 112% of normal full capacity the reverse pump will activate. The reverse pump will shut off

within a few seconds as the fuel drops below the 112% level.

3. Release the TEST button. The tank will still be in a high fuel level state (just under 112% capacity).

TESTING THE FUEL-IN-BASIN SWITCH

The fuel-in-basin switch, also referred to as a “leak detection switch,” is designed

to detect the presence of fuel in the containment basin. The switch is installed and

connected to the ECM. Follow the steps below if you would like to test the switch

to verify it has not been damaged in shipping and is working properly.

For tanks with an open top basin The switch is readily accessible on a tank with an open top basin. (FIGURE 1)

1. Press the ON button on the ECM face.

2. Using a long, narrow, rigid implement (for example, a metal rod), reach into the

basin and carefully raise the float at the end of the switch assembly. (FIGURE 3)

If the switch is operating properly, the FUEL IN RUPTURE BASIN indicator light

on the ECM face will activate within a few seconds.

3. Lower the float. If the switch is operating properly, the FUEL IN RUPTURE

BASIN indicator light will go out within a few seconds.

For tanks with a closed top basin On a closed top basin the switch is concealed within the containment area and must

be removed for testing. (FIGURE 2)

1. Remove the cover from the ECM.

2. Disconnect the fuel-in-basin switch wires from the inside of the ECM.

3. Depending upon how the tank is configured, you may have to

pull the wires through conduit so that the switch can be removed

from the basin. Once the wires are free, carefully unscrew the fuel-in-

basin switch and lift it out of the tank.

4. Reconnect the switch to the ECM.

5. Depress the ON button on the ECM face.

6. Raise the float switch. (FIGURE 3) If the switch is operating

properly, the FUEL IN RUPTURE BASIN indicator light on the ECM

face will activate within a few seconds.

7. Lower the float. If the switch is operating properly, the FUEL IN

RUPTURE BASIN indicator light will go out within a few seconds.

8. Press the OFF button on the ECM.

9. Re-insert the switch into the basin fitting and screw it into place.

10. Run the wires back through conduit as necessary and reconnect

them to the ECM.

11. Replace the cover on the ECM. Press the ON button to reactivate

the ECM.

Tramont Day Tank System Specifications

TRS Series Day Tank



Day Tank Control Specification: System 2000PLUS™ ECM GENERAL This section covers the electrical description and installation of the Tramont standard System 2000PLUS™ electronic control module (ECM). Installation of the ECM should be performed by a qualified electrician. These specifications provide information on standard System 2000PLUS features.

DESCRIPTION The heart of the “SYSTEM 2000” ECM is an electrical analog float gauge providing signals to the ECM for:

Fuel level indication Pump control High fuel level warning Low fuel level warning Low fuel level shut off ECM functional signal All signals and warnings are provided with N.O. and N.C. contacts for remote annunciation. The ECM can be manually controlled by ON, OFF, and TEST push buttons. In addition, an internal test button allows for a periodic test of all warning LEDs and remote annunciation relays.

FUNCTIONS The purpose of the ECM is to maintain the fuel level of the Day Tank by controlling a pump/motor. The pump is off at the normal fuel level and is activated at 87% full. A “pump running” indicator LED is on when the pump is activated. Motor relay is prewired to pump motor.

WARNING: When ECM “OFF” push button is engaged the unit is disabled, however, 120 VAC power is still present within the ECM, indicated by the “power on” LED.

OPTIONS 1920 Duplex pumping system. Adds 2nd pump and motor for safety redundancy. Control alternates lead pump.

1930 Controls are available for 12 VDC operation. Single or duplex. Consult factory for specifications.

3240 Pump running contacts for remote annunciation.

3250 Critical high shutdown. Separate float switch senses critical high fuel level, disengaging motor and optional solenoid valve. Warning relay supplied for remote annunciation.

INCOMING POWER The ECM is powered by a customer-supplied 120 VAC line. Power terminals are accessible by removing four cover screws on the ECM and removing the ECM cover exposing the terminal strip. Wires should be run through knockout provided.

LEVEL SENSOR The day tank’s level is determined by an electrical analog float sender located below the ECM on the inspection plate cover. The sensor provides a 0 – 90-ohm signal to the ECM, which converts it to a precise fuel level. Fuel level is indicated by nine incremental LEDs on the ECM from EMPTY to FULL.

ALARMS The ECM has five standard alarm conditions. Each alarm is indicated locally by an LED and remotely by wiring to supplied relays. A normally open and normally closed contact is provided for customer connections. Contacts are rated at 3 amps, 120 VAC or 24 VDC.

High fuel: Activates at 106% of normal fuel level with a two second change of state time delay.

Low fuel: Activates at 62% of normal fuel level. This enables user time to react to a potential problem before low fuel shutdown occurs.

Low fuel shutdown: Activates at 6% of normal fuel level. This enables user to shut down engine generator before fuel runs out, preventing loss of prime or engine damage.

Fuel in rupture basin: With a rupture basin float switch, (option #2930) the ECM will signal if fuel is in the rupture basin.

ECM functional: The ECM performs many internal checks (including float gauge) to ensure proper operation. If a fault occurs, this LED will go from constant to flashing and de-energize the relay. It is suggested that the customer wire to the normally closed contact thereby providing a signal if a fault does occur.

MODE There are four modes of operation on the ECM:

Off: This pushbutton disables the ECM for routine maintenance to the tank system.

Caution: ECM functional de-energizes, which can activate a customer alarm wired to this relay.

On: This pushbutton activates the ECM after the Off pushbutton has been depressed. On any initial power-up condition, after a power outage, the ECM will automatically turn on.

Test: This pushbutton will test all front panel LEDs and activate pump/motor for as long as the button is depressed. All alarm relays will not activate, but will maintain their original state.

Internal test: This pushbutton, located inside the ECM, will test each LED and remote annunciation relay in sequential order for three seconds, high fuel to ECM functional.

NOTE: It is recommended that both the external and internal test switch be activated as part of a periodic maintenance program to ensure reliable operation of the Day Tank.

Day Tank Standard Pump and Motor

Specifications

Pump: Heavy duty, 2 GPM, self-priming, positive displacement rotary gear pump with corrosion-resistant bronze

housing and gears with stainless steel shafts, self lubricating carbon bearings with lip seals. Mounted directed to motor

via carbonator style split tang coupling.

Motor: 1/3 HP, open drip-proof (squirrel cage), single phase, auto-thermal protected, bearing supported shaft, Class B

insulation for continuous 40° C operation, 115 VAC, 60 Hz. Motor rotation may be reversed by reversing wires.

Output: 2 GPM at 20 psi (directly into tank) or 1.5 GPM at 100 psi. 1 psi = 2.68 feet of head.

Lift: Pump is self-priming and rated at 20 feet of lift (diesel fuel) at sea level. However, pipe diameter, bends,

restrictions, hot and cold ambients and other factors may reduce lift. Tramont therefore recommends that the pump/

motor be remotely mounted to push fuel in applications requiring more than 17 feet of lift. To ensure continuous self

priming, use of appropriately sized foot valve and/or check valve is recommended for all high-lift applications. To avoid

damage to motor during start-up, Tramont recommends that the fuel be primed as closely as possible to the pump

intake.

Recommendations

Pipe run: If a pipe run of 100 feet or more is required between the main tank and day tank, Tramont recommends the

use of a check valve. This ensures that the pump does not have to evacuate a large volume of air during each operation.

Even a very small leak in the pipe will prevent self-priming; therefore, Tramont strongly recommends that all pipe lines

receive a careful pressure check before start-up.

Fuel strainer: The Tramont pump is a high-lift, close tolerance design. Foreign particles in the fuel may prevent proper

performance. New installations in particular may have significant quantities of iron scale, rust or other contaminants in

the pipeline and main tank. To prevent this matter from clogging and potentially damaging the pump, Tramont

recommends the installation of an appropriately designed fuel strainer to the input line.

DAY TANKS

Design Considerations of a Day Tank Fuel Transfer System

OVERVIEW This guide is designed to assist in specification of a Day Tank fuel transfer system, including pump lift, head and prime.

• The information included in this document is meant as a general reference only. Frictional head loss, lift, discharge

pressure and other considerations may vary depending upon your physical location and system design.

• Consult an experienced hydraulic engineer when working with critical or borderline applications.

PUMP LIFT A pump lifts fuel by displacing air from suction to the discharge line. This creates low pressure in the suction line, which allows the

higher atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi at sea level) to lift liquid into this vacuum. If a perfect vacuum could be created and

maintained, fuel could theoretically be lifted to 34 feet. Since a perfect vacuum is not possible, the lift a pump can actually achieve

is approximately 50 percent of theoretical lift, or 17 feet at sea level (7.64 psi). To determine the total available lift, the following

factors need to be considered:

1. Vertical distance the pump needs to lift fuel. This measurement is taken from the bottom of the main tank to the pump’s

inlet port.

2. Total length and diameter of piping. As piping gets longer and narrower lift is decreased due to friction (see Table One).

All calculations are based on 60° F temperature. Frictional resistance increases as temperature decreases.

3. Fittings in the line. Fittings disrupt flow and create friction. These include elbows, tees and unions (see Table Two). Valves

also need to be checked for possible pressure drops.

4. Elevation above sea level. As height above sea level increases, atmospheric pressure acting against the pump’s vacuum

is reduced, thereby reducing lift (see Table Three).

Example

Vertical distance 12 feet Pump size 2 GPM

Total length of pipe 100 feet Fittings in line 3 elbows, no valves

Pipe size 1 inch in diameter Elevation (above sea level) 3,000 feet

Solution: Referring to Table Two, an elbow equals 2.6 feet of pipe (2.6 x 3 elbows = 7.8 feet). The corrected length of pipe is

now 107.8 feet. Referring to Table One, the 107.8 feet is divided by 100 and multiplied by 0.5. Actual head loss is 0.54 feet.

Therefore, the total lift needed for this system is the vertical distance plus 0.54 feet, or 12.54 feet. Since the pump is safely

capable of lifting 15 feet at 3,000 feet of elevation (see Table Three), this example will perform satisfactorily. However, if

a 3/8-inch diameter pipe had been used, the head loss would have been 15.8 feet. Adding the vertical distance to this figure

equals 27.8 feet. The pump would not be able to lift the fuel. If the plumbing system cannot be built under a 17-foot lift limitation

(at sea level), a remote pumping station must be used. This will be placed between the main tank and the Day Tank. The proper

placement is determined by the pump lift calculation and the following pump head calculations.

PUMP HEAD The pump’s head is the theoretical vertical distance a pump will push fuel. Day Tank standard pumps (2 GPM; 1/3 HP) have 231

feet of head (100 psi). Refer to Table Four for larger pump and motor discharge rates. The pump is normally located on the Day

Tank, but when pump lift demands are exceeded, a remote pumping station is required. This allows the use of the head (pushing)

capabilities of the pump, which are significantly greater than lift. Factors that must be taken into consideration to determine total

pump head are similar to pump lift calculations, with the following exceptions:

1. Vertical distance the pump needs to push fuel: This measurement is taken from the output port on the pump to the day

tank’s uppermost piping connection.

2. Elevation is not a factor, but motor horsepower is taken into account.

Example Two

Vertical distance 150 feet Fittings 2 elbows, 1 check valve

Total length of pipe 175 feet Pump 7 GPM

Pipe size 3/4 inch in diameter Motor 1 HP

Solution: Referring to Table Two, a 3/4 inch elbow equals 2.1 feet of pipe (2.1 x 2 elbows = 4.2 feet), while the check valve

equals 5.3 feet of pipe. The total adjusted length of pipe is 184.5 feet (175+4.2+5.31). Referring to Table 1, 184.5 feet of 3/4 inch

pipe with a 7 GPM pump with 1 HP motor results in head loss of 28.3 feet (1.85 x 15.3). Total required head capacity calculates

to 178.3 feet (150 + 28.3). With a pump discharge pressure of 100 psi available pump head is 231 feet (100x 2.31). Available

pump head exceeds required pump head capacity (231-178.3= 52.7). Therefore, this system will work.

DAY TANKS Design Considerations of a Day Tank Fuel Transfer System, p. 2

PUMP PRIME Maintaining the prime on a pump is critical. Fuel must be maintained in the suction side pipe with no air pockets. Foot valves at

the main tank or check valves at the Day Tank can be used to prevent fuel flowing back to the main tank and losing prime.

Pump cavitation can occur when a pump is unable to properly discharge fuel. There are multiple causes, including:

Total equivalent lift too high for pump Improperly plumbed systems Air leaks

Total equivalent head too high for pump Restrictions in lines

Cavitation can occur gradually and will eventually ruin a pump. Vertical piping loops or “traps” should be avoided when designing

a pumping system. Air pockets can become trapped in the high point of the vertical loop, resulting in pump cavitation. A hand

pump is recommended for initial priming to avoid undue wear on the fuel pump. If the fuel pump must be used for initial priming,

do not run for more than 60 seconds. Fuel should be flowing within that time. A fuel strainer is also recommended on the inlet

side of the pump. Foreign particles entering the pump chamber will diminish its life expectancy. The strainer should be checked

periodically to avoid particle build-up, which limits pumping capabilities.

SUMMARY Proper engineering practices should always be used when calculating pump head and especially pump lift. By following these

guidelines, costly repairs due to improper installations can be avoided.

Notes:

1. 1 psi=2.31 feet of head is the conversion for water. As a general rule, this is a safe conversion for #2 diesel fuel.

2. For more precise calculations, refer to the following formulas and conversions:

A. Head in Feet = PSI x 2.31/Specific Gravity

B. PSI = Head x Specific Gravity/2.31

C. Specific Gravity of #2 diesel fuel is 0.88 at 60° F

D. Weight of #2 diesel fuel: 7.3 pounds/gallon

3. All calculations are based on 60° F. Allowances must be made for extreme temperature variances.

A. Viscosity of #2 diesel fuel: 35 at 100° F; 40 at 70° F; 50 at 20° F; 80 at 0° F; 200 at -30° F

B. An immersion heater is recommended for applications below 32° F

Mechanical and Plumbing Guide: Day Tank Systems

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION This guide covers the mechanical installation of a standard Tramont Day Tank system. Installation should be performed by a qualified

mechanical installer or plumber experienced in black iron piping, valves and connections. This guide primarily covers "standard"

tanks; that is, tanks without optional accessories or equipment. Certain optional devices may require special consideration during

installation. For TRE-Series tanks also see "Electrical installation guide: TRE-Series Day Tanks." For TRS-Series tanks also see

"System 2000PLUS" specification.

!WARNING!

THIS TANK IS DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO HOLD DIESEL FUEL ONLY.

TANK PLACEMENT Upon receipt of the Tramont Day Tank, inspect for obvious signs of shipment damage. If damage is visible (dents, waterlogging, etc.),

notify the freight company and file a claim for damages with them. This step must take place on the receiving end of the shipment;

Tramont cannot do this for the purchaser or end user. Unpack the unit and inspect closely. The Tramont day tank can withstand

normal stresses of shipping. However, rough handling, such as dropping the unit, may result in scratches, dents and damage to tank

components and weld seams. Again, if you detect any signs of damage notify the freight company immediately.

Place the tank as close to the gen-set as practical. It should be fully accessible from all sides. The front of the unit must be visible and

accessible. Position the tank so that fittings and vents can be easily connected and checked. Make sure that there is room to access

the basin/tank drain. Generally a minimum of 6" - 8" from any wall is required for piping installation. Allowing adequate space for

piping will make future repair and maintenance much easier.

Complete all piping before bolting the tank to any surface. This will make it much easier to correct any misalignment of piping. The

day tank is not designed to absorb force exerted by improperly aligned pipe. "Forcing" pipes to line up with fittings may

damage the tank.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Day Tanks typically are installed with three 90° elbows in the fuel line between the tank and the point where the line is firmly fixed to a

wall or floor. This will facilitate minor adjustments when leading the piping to the tank. Pipe unions should be installed as needed to

allow for future breakdown or maintenance of pipes. All threaded connections shall be covered with Teflon™ tape, thread sealant or

comparable material. DO NOT use any sealant that is not compatible with #2 diesel oil. All threaded connections must be tightened

leak-tight.

IMPORTANT: Gen-set installations generally are not set up so that high pressure can form in piping lines, and the Tramont Day

Tank is not a pressure vessel. However, all connections still should be tightened so that the piping can withstand considerable

pressure if necessary. Use only clean, new pipe connections. Rust, dirt, tars and other contaminants can prevent proper operation of

tank components such as pumps, and may result in damage or destruction of these components.

ENGINE SUPPLY The engine supply fitting (1" NPT) is located on the left hand side at the bottom rear of tanks without a basin. On tanks with a basin

the supply fitting is located on the top rear of the tank, and a dip tube extends to the bottom of the tank. Follow the gen-set supplier's

requirements for pipe size, flex hose and connections to the engine.

FUEL RETURN On tanks without a basin there are two 1" NPT fuel return fittings on the back of the tank. One is located at the lower right-hand side of

the tank, the other is located near the top of the tank. On tanks with a basin there is a single fuel return fitting on the back of the tank

near the top. The fuel return fittings are for excess hot fuel returned from the engine. If your tank does not include a basin Tramont

recommends using the bottom fuel return fitting. Seal the unused fuel return fitting with a 1" NPT black iron pipe plug. Another option

is to pipe the fuel return line directly to the main tank, thereby eliminating a possible fuel temperature increase in the day tank.

OVERFLOW The 1" NPT overflow fitting is located at the upper rear of the tank. It prevents overfilling of the day tank by routing excess fuel directly

back to a main tank.

Main tank below Day Tank (TRE & TRS) In instances where the main tank is located below the day tank, the overflow line must be piped in a continuous downward path to

the main tank.

!WARNING!

BECAUSE THE OVERFLOW LINE OPERATES VIA GRAVITY, THERE CAN BE NO UPFLOW OR TRAPS IN THE LINE. DO NOT

RESTRICT OR DOWNSIZE THE DIAMETER OF THE PIPE.

Tramont recommends overfilling the day tank initially to make sure that the overflow line is working properly.




22.

Mechanical and plumbing guide, continued...

Main tank above Day Tank (TRS only) In instances where the main tank is above the Day Tank, the overflow line cannot be piped via gravity. The overflow line should not

be plugged. Instead, Tramont strongly recommends the use of a reverse pumping system to return excess fuel to the main

tank. Failure to use a reverse pumping system may result in a fuel spill should the Day Tank become overfilled. Reverse pumping

systems are available on Tramont TRS Series Day Tanks. See Tramont specification "Diesel Fuel Day Tank with Supply Pump and

Motor,” or contact Tramont Sales and Service for more information.

VENTS There is a 2” NPT normal vent fitting at the top rear of tank. This is an atmospheric vent and must be piped in a continuous upward

path with no traps. In installations with a main tank the normal vent must be piped higher than the main tank fuel level. The normal

vent should be vented outside any enclosed spaces. The appropriate vent cap is available from Tramont Manufacturing, or users may

provide their own.

!WARNING!

DO NOT PLUG THE NORMAL VENT. THIS IS AN ATMOSPHERIC TANK ONLY AND IS NOT TO BE OPERATED UNDER

PRESSURE.

The tank also includes an NPT fitting for an emergency vent. The fitting will range in size from 2" to 5". Tanks with a sealed rupture

basin also will include an emergency vent fitting on the containment area. The emergency vent fittings may not be plugged. The

appropriate vent cap is available from Tramont Manufacturing, or users may provide their own. This vent is designed to open should

the tank become suddenly pressurized (in a fire, for example). Requirements for piping the emergency vent may vary by location.

Consult local codes on piping, vent caps, vent location and other requirements.

DRAIN Day Tanks less than 300 gallons include a 3/8" NPT drain fitting. Tanks 300 gallons or larger include a 1" NPT drain fitting. On day

tanks without a basin the drain fitting connects directly to the tank. On tanks with a basin the drain is connected to the containment

area only. The tank is shipped with the drain fitting plugged. This plug may become loose during shipping. It is the installer's

responsibility to verify the integrity of the drain and all other connections. In installations with a main tank the drain may be plumbed

back to the main tank. An optional drain petcock or ball valve is available from Tramont.

FUEL INLET: TRE & TRS ONLY The fuel inlet to the Day Tank is located on the pump. The standard Tramont Day Tank pump includes a 3/8" NPT female threaded

fitting. This fitting size may vary on optional pumps. Plumb the fuel supply line from the main tank to the Day Tank pump suction port.

Properly align the piping so that stress is not exerted on the pump. IMPORTANT NOTE: Fuel contamination can decrease pump life,

cause leaking valves and erratic gauge readings. Tramont strongly recommends the installation of a 100 mesh fuel strainer on the

pump inlet.

PIPING (TRE & TRS) Tramont Day Tank pumps are rated for 17' of vertical lift at sea level. Long horizontal runs, small diameter pipe and restrictions such

as elbows and valves can reduce lift. (See worksheet in "Design Considerations”, p.18). Leaks in the pipe line will reduce or eliminate

lift. Running the pump/motor with no fuel in the line may damage or destroy the pump and motor. Tramont strongly recommends that

manifold fuel lines be avoided. Tramont also strongly recommends that the incoming fuel line be primed as close to the pump as

possible prior to start-up.

TESTING The tank has been factory leak-tested at 3 - 5 PSIG per UL-142 requirements. All lines to and from the day tank should be pressure

tested for leaks. If they are available, close shutoff valves at both ends of the piping and apply pressure to desired levels. Lines that

have only gravity flow should be tested to twice the head pressure that would exist if the lower end of the line were plugged and the

line was filled with oil. Note: 2.68' of head = 1 PSIG.

!WARNING!

WHEN TESTING THE FUEL LINES DO NOT ALLOW THE TANK ITSELF TO BECOME PRESSURIZED IN EXCESS OF 5 PSIG.

EXCESS PRESSURE MAY DAMAGE THE TANK.

MECHANICAL INSPECTION Verify that all valves are open and all lines are pressure tested and clear. Verify that the installation is in accordance with mechanical

specifications and all local building codes. Day Tank users, installers and specifying engineers should be familiar with NFPA 30 and

37, UL-142, local codes and any other applicable codes.

TRS Series Day Tank



Sequence of Operation – TRS Day Tank

Fuel Level Increasing

• Tank empty condition

• Pump “A” is pumping fuel from main tank into Day Tank

• Pump “B” is pumping fuel from main tank into Day Tank (duplex system only)

• At 6% full the low fuel engine shutdown alarm is deactivated, dry contacts resume normal condition

• At 62% full the low fuel alarm is deactivated, dry contacts resume normal condition

• At 100% full pump stops running (duplex systems both pumps stop at 100%)

• At 106% full high fuel alarm is activated, dry contacts are actuated

• If Fuel level continues to increase, optional critical high fuel level shutdown is activated, dry contacts are actuated, fuel supply pumps shutdown

Fuel Level Decreasing

• Tank full condition

• Fuel level in tank decreases

• At 87% lead pump starts pumping fuel from main tank into Day Tank

• At 75% lag pump starts pumping fuel from main tank into Day Tank (duplex systems only)

• At 62% full the low fuel alarm is activated, dry contacts are actuated

• At 50% full the 75% led will turn off.

• At 6% full the low fuel engine shutdown alarm is activated, dry contacts are actuated

Standard Operation as tank re-fills

• Engine consumes fuel, fuel level in tank decreases

• At 87% pump “A” starts filling tank (duplex systems “lead pump” starts running)

Duplex operation only:

First run pump “A” is lead pump, second run pump “B” is lead pump

If fuel decreases to 75% both lag and lead pumps run until full (100%)

Lead pump alternates each run. Upon a loss of power pump “A” becomes lead pump

• At 100% pump(s) stops running

Tank Rupture Condition

• Fuel in rupture basin

• Option #2930 fuel in basin float switch is activated, dry contacts are actuated, fuel supply pumps shutdown

Overfill Condition

• Option #3250 critical high alarm (optional), separate float switch activates high level alarm, dry contact actuated, fuel supply pumps shutdown, can activate optional solenoid valve or optional reverse pump.

IMPORTANT: For applications with main tank at same level or above day tank, a reverse pump of greater capacity than both supply pumps is required.

Level LED Indication

• As fuel level increases each percent light will turn on when that level is reached

• As fuel level decreases each percent light will remain on until next level is reached

Mode

There are four modes of operation on the ECM:

A. Off - This pushbutton disables the ECM for routine maintenance to the tank system. Caution: ECM functional de-energizes, which can activate a customer alarm wired to this relay.

B. On - This pushbutton activates the ECM after the Off pushbutton has been depressed. On any initial power up condition, after a power outage, the ECM will automatically turn on.

C. Test - This pushbutton will test all front panel LEDs for three seconds and activate pump/motor for as long as the button is depressed. All alarm relays will not activate but will maintain their original state.

D. Internal test - This pushbutton, located inside the ECM, will test each LED and remote annunciation relay in sequential order – High fuel to ECM functional.

NOTE: It is recommended that both the external and internal test switch be activated as part of a periodic maintenance program to ensure reliable operation of the Day Tank.

23.

Troubleshooting Tips: ECM Functional Light Flashing

Tramont TRS Series Day Tanks include a System 2000PLUS™ Electronic Control

Module (ECM) that operates the pumps and motors and monitors fuel level conditions.

One of the indicators on the unit is the ECM Functional Light. During normal operation

this will be illuminated a steady green. (Arrow A)

When this light is flashing it means that the ECM is receiving an “out of range

reading” from the fuel level sensor inside the tank. The sensor is located under

the ECM and is mounted to a plate on the 4.5” X 4.5” inspection opening.

When the ECM Functional Light is flashing, power is cut off to

the supply pumps. When this occurs the other LEDs may or may

not light up, depending upon the problem. Either way, when the

ECM Functional Light is flashing, the other alarms may not be

functioning.

If the ECM Functional Light is flashing, follow these steps to

identify the source of the problem:

1. Remove the four mounting nuts on the corners of the ECM

base. (Arrow B)

2. Tilt the ECM back to expose the inspection plate, being

careful not to dislodge any wires inside the ECM. (Arrow C)

The top of the sensor is visible in the middle of the plate.

3. Disconnect the two wires on the sensor. (Arrow D)

4. Remove the five mounting screws on the sensor (Arrow E)

and carefully lift the sensor out of the tank.

5. Measure the resistance with an ohm meter across the two terminals

on the sensor. The ECM is set up to detect >0 and <90 ohms,

where close to 0 is “empty” and close to 90 is “full.” Move the float

on the sensor all the way from the down” (empty) position to the

“up” (full) position. Monitor the readings while swinging the float

from empty to full. Watch for opens, shorts and sticky spots.

Anything outside the 0 to 90 range will shut down the system and

flash the EMC Functional Light.

Cleaning the fuel level sensor will often solve the problem. Follow

these steps:

1. Swing the float arm all the way to “full” or “empty.”

2. Blast compressed air or non-residue contact cleaner into the pivot

point. (Arrow F)

3. Swing the float arm all the way to the other end of its travel and repeat

Step 2.

4. Swing the arm through its full length of travel 15 to 20 times.

5. Repeat Steps 2 and 3.

6. Retest with the ohm meter per the above instructions.

7. If the readings are correct, reinsert the float sensor into the tank, affix the

mounting screws and reconnect the two wires. Carefully move the ECM

back into place and attach it to the top of the tank with the mounting nuts.

8. If the readings are not correct, you likely need to replace the sensor.
