Overview

The TSP-UHS is a Standard sensor that is used to detect

the loss of a liquid in the normally solution-filled sensor

reservoir connected to the interstitial areas of double-wall

dispenser sumps. The sensor is supplied with electrical

connectors, 25 feet of cable, and a cord-grip fitting (see

diagrams). The TSP-UHS uses magnetic-float / reed-switch

technology (the sensor must be suspended vertically so

the float can freely follow the level of a liquid).
When the float drops more than 3/4 of an inch, the

magnetically sensitive reed switch will open. An open

circuit is recognized as an alarm-condition at the

intrinsically safe (I.S) leak detection circuits of the FFS

(Franklin Fueling Systems) ATG console.

Testing the TSP-UHS

This device can be tested by lifting the sensor from the

sensor reservoir. This will cause an alarm at the ATG

console. Test the sensor for proper operation on a yearly

basis, or more frequently per local code.
