Safety requirements on installation and maintenance of fuel level sensor
During installation of the fuel level sensor you should take organizational and technical
measures for ensuring safe work with instrumentation, accessories and consumables.
Responsibility for the implementation of security measures is imposed to technical personnel
that install the fuel level sensor, and to the staff that is responsible for the equipment of place
where the work will be performed.
At the place of work fire safety rules should be kept in accordance with GOST (Ukrainian: ГОСТ
12.1.004 "ССБТ. Fire Safety. General requirements", and rules of electrical safety in
accordance with ГОСТ 12.1.019" ССБТ. Electrical safety. General requirements. "
On motor transport at the place of work labour safety rules should be kept in accordance with:
ДНАОП 0.00-1.28-97 "Rules of safety on motor transport" (in Ukraine) or ПОТ РM 027-2003
"Inter-sectoral labour safety rules on motor transport» (in Russian Federation).

1. Use
Fuel level sensor Epsilon (hereinafter referred to as the FLS or sensor) is used to measure the
fuel level in containers and fuel tanks (hereinafter - the tanks) of vehicles (hereinafter – the
vehicles).
The sensor can be used in conjunction with the equipment that supports a unified
communications protocol Epsilon Data Exchange (hereinafter - EDE) and (or) processing of the
analog signal.
The sensor is compatible with different control units, concentrators and equipment of GPS -
monitoring, such as follows:
Autograph
Ruptela
Dalcon
Pointer
Intellitrac
M2M Telematics
BCE
Teletrack
Teltonika… etc.
Model Epsilon ES2 provides data exchange on the interface RS-232, ES4 – on the interface
RS-485. The add-on device (digital to analog converter EG4x) ensures the formation of an
analog signal and exchange on the interface RS-485.
2. Explosion Protection
The sensor is explosion-protected and it has such explosion protection marking:
1Exm[ia]IICT6 Х - for use in Russian Federation.
1ExsiaIICT6 X - for use in Ukraine;
The sign "X" in the marking of explosion protection shows special conditions of safe use of
sensors as follows:
sensors should be connected to the electrical circuits of equipment that feeds only from the car
battery with voltage not more than 36 V and has no electrical connections with electrical
equipment that has other sources of supply, including the network ones;
connection of sensors to the mains supply should be carried out via a fuse rated at no more
than 0.1 A.
Documents confirming compliance of the sensor with the requirements of explosion protection:
Certificate of conformity of the Russian Federation State Standard № РОСС.UA.ME92.B02278
and certificate № 2703 of the State Testing and Certification Center of Explosion-Protected and
Mine Electrical Equipment (Donetsk, Ukraine).

Notes for table 1:
1. Allows you to measure different sorts of fuel with high electrical conductivity (which
contain anti-electrostatic additives).
2. The position of the upper (maximum) value of the measured level corresponds to the upper
edge of the drain hole of the probe.
3. Version of more than 800 mm is carried out to an additional order.
4. For version of "0800" (800 mm) it is allowed to shorten the probe "at the time of execution"
without restrictions on the minimum length.
5. During use of 16 bits representation of measurement results.
6. For a version of "0800" in the normal climatic conditions in accordance with ГОСТ15150-
69. In order to ensure a given accuracy in all working range of temperatures, the
adjustment of the calibration table should be applying (according to the temperature
dependence of the dielectric permeability of fuel).
It is also possible to adjust the calibration table with use of fuel with a dielectric permeability
different from the dielectric permeability of fuel which was used for calibration.
When testing the fuel with the same dielectric permeability as of the fuel used for calibration.
To ensure measurements with other sorts of fuel the adjustment of calibration table should
be used (according to dielectric permeability of the sort of fuel).
7. Data are given into two formats: 16 and 10/12 bits. Capacity of 10 or 12 bits is switched
according to the program. 12 bits value is set by default.
8. Pulse parameters in accordance to ГОСТ 28751-90 (product of A class, the degree of
severity 3 for 24V on-board power use).
9. With use of an additional inverter EG41 (42) U-mode or I – mode are possible. The
maximum output voltage Umax = U Power is 4 (V).
10. Other versions of conjunctive flange are possible after coordination with the customer.
11. Sealing gasket is not included.
