1. Safety Instructions
- Read the safety instructions before installation.
- Make sure you understand the safety instructions before installation.
Electrical installations in hazardous areas possess features specially designed to render them suitable for operations in such atmospheres. It is essential for reasons of safety in those areas that, throughout the life of such installations, the integrity of those special features is preserved; they therefore require initial inspection and either a) regular periodic inspections thereafter, or b) continuous supervision by skilled personnel in accordance with this standard and, when necessary, maintenance.
Training
The inspection and maintenance of installations shall be carried out only
by experienced personnel, whose training has included instruction on the
various types of protection and installation practices, the relevant rules and
regulations and on the general principles of area classification. Appropriate
continuing education or training shall be undertaken by personnel on a regular
basis.
Skilled personnel must be provided with sufficient training to enable familiarity with the installation which they attend. This training shall include any plant, apparatus, operational or environmental conditions which relate to their understanding of the needs of the explosion protection of apparatus. Where any alterations or changes to the process or installation are affected this information shall be provided to the skilled personnel in a manner which supports their function as part of the continuous supervision process.
Inspection
Before the apparatus is brought into service, it shall be given an initial
inspection. To ensure that the installations are maintained in a satisfactory
condition for continued use within a hazardous area, either a) regular
periodic inspections, or b) continuous supervision by skilled personnel, and,
where necessary, maintenance shall be carried out. If the apparatus is
dismantled during an inspection, precautions shall be taken during reassembly
to ensure that the integrity of the type of protection is not impaired.
Typical inspection schedule:
-
Apparatus is appropriate to area classification as defined by the label
• Apparatus temperature class is correct
• Apparatus category and gas/dust class is correct -
IP grade of apparatus is appropriate to conductivity of dust
-
Apparatus circuit identification is available
-
Enclosure, glasses and glass to metal sealing gaskets and/or compounds are satisfactory
-
There are no visible unauthorized modifications
-
Bolts, cable entry devices and blanking elements are of the correct type and are complete and tight
-
Apparatus is adequately protected against corrosion, weather, vibration and other adverse conditions
-
No undue accumulation of dust and dirt
-
Apparatus installed is that specified in the documentation
Label
The label for the apparatus can be found on the underside of the device and
contains all applicable information regarding the safety certifications of the
device as outlined below:
Label Information
The FNU900 nozzle unit has the following label affixed to the unit with the
following information available.
- Device information
- Manufacturer information
- FCC and Canada Certification
- Australia / New Zealand Conformance
- Serial number and batch code First 3 letters are year and month of manufacture followed by unit serial number
- Intrinsic safety certification information
- Notified Body
Maintenance
The general condition of all apparatus shall be noted, and appropriate
remedial measures shall be taken where necessary. Care shall be taken,
however, to maintain the integrity of the type of protection provided for the
apparatus; this may require consultation with the manufacturer. Replacement
parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s safety documentation.
Alterations to apparatus shall not be carried out without appropriate
authorization where they adversely affect the safety of the apparatus as
stated in the safety documentation.
Environmental conditions
Electrical apparatus in a hazardous area can be adversely affected by the
environmental conditions in which it is used. Some of the key elements to
consider are corrosion, ambient temperature, ultraviolet radiation, ingress of
water, accumulation of dust or sand, mechanical effects and chemical attack.
Installation
Maintenance work may be carried out on energized apparatus subject to the
conditions detailed below.
- Disconnection of, and removal or replacement of, items of electrical apparatus and cabling.
- Adjustment of any controls necessary for the calibration of the electrical apparatus or system.
- Removal and replacement of any plug-in components or assemblies.
- Use of any test instruments specified in the relevant documentation. Where test instruments are not specified in the relevant documentation, only those instruments which do not affect the intrinsic safety of the circuit under test may be used.
- Any other maintenance activity specifically permitted by the relevant documentation.
The person carrying out any of the functions described above shall ensure that the intrinsically safe system or self-contained intrinsically safe apparatus meets the requirements of the relevant documentation after completion of any of those functions.
Operation
The operator will ensure that:
- The unit is maintained and operated, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and in such a way as to minimize the risks of an explosion.
- The vehicles ignition is switched off during the insertion and operation of the unit.
- There are no risks in the explosive zone that could be a potential risk for explosion.
2. identiFUEL™ Nozzle Unit
Universal Low Frequency RFID Readers & Transmitter to Fit on Fueling
Nozzles
- Reads vehicle tag and identifies vehicle to the Fuel Management System
- Automatic activation and standby mode via Tilt Switch
- Supports a range of standard filling nozzles
The HID Global identiFUEL™ Fueling Nozzle Unit is a universal, intrinsically safe RFID reader, used for Fueling Management Systems (FMS). The Fueling Nozzle Unit can fit onto a wide variety of standard fuel filling nozzles. The unit turns a filling nozzle into an RFID reader that is automatically activated when the nozzle is moved. The Fueling Nozzle Unit works in combination with identiFUEL Vehicle Tags and Wireless Controllers as an RFID front-end for Fuel Management Systems.
As soon as the Fueling Nozzle Unit detects a corresponding vehicle tag, the tag’s unique ID and required fuel information is sent via an encrypted channel to the corresponding identiFUEL™ Wireless Controller. The controller communicates to the FMS software, which decides if and how much fuel to dispense. Once the nozzle is removed from the vehicle, and the vehicle tag can no longer be read, the Fueling Nozzle Unit notifies the FMS to stop the fuel dispersion.
The identiFUEL™ Fueling Nozzle Unit includes a dual-color LED that indicates whether the unit is operational, and a tag was successfully read. The rugged housing makes the Fueling Nozzle Unit resistant to typical fueling environments and rainwater.
Key Technology Highlights
- Lighter smaller compact universal design
- Simple installation on various existing nozzles
- Fully encapsulated rugged & antistatic design
- ATEX / IECEx compliant
- Multi-year battery life
- Over the air firmware upgradeability
- Completely wireless operation
- RFID auto-tune to compensate for environmental variance (amount of metal)
- Heartbeat packet (to check in with system when not in use for long periods of time)
- Anti-tamper feature (attempt to remove unit is reported to system)
- Real time battery voltage reading
- Drop and impact detection
- Pitch and roll angular limitation for control of valid reading (configurable option)
How does it work?
- The nozzle unit fitted to the filling nozzle reads the 125 kHz passive RFID vehicle tag when the nozzle is inserted into the fuel filler pipe, unit remains asleep until moved at which point it searches for a tag.
- The nozzle unit then sends the tag info along with unit info every 2.2 seconds (ID, status, etc.) over a 433.92 MHz encrypted proprietary RF data link to the Wireless Controller.
- If the frontend validation passes, the Wireless Controller sends authorization information and a “Nozzle In” condition, to the Fuel Management System (FMS) which is then responsible for checking whether the vehicle is valid or not according to predefined business rules. It then interacts with the dispensing systems to allow fueling to start.
- If the nozzle is removed, the unit will not be able to read the vehicle tag anymore and send the appropriate information to the Wireless Controller.
- The Wireless Controller interprets this as a “Nozzle Out” condition and sends a message to the FMS. The FMS will then be able to stop fuel dispersion, complete the fueling process and record a completed transaction.
