Safety instructions 

The VISY-X system is optimised for use in petrol stations and is compatible with all commer-

cially available fuels. It serves to measure and evaluate the filling levels in tanks. The system 

must be used exclusively for this purpose. Observe and follow all product safety notes and 

operating instructions. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any form of damage resulting 

from improper use. 

The level and environmental sensors and the VISY-Command central unit have been devel-

oped, manufactured and tested in accordance with the latest good engineering practices and 

generally accepted safety standards. Nevertheless, hazards may arise from their use.  

The following safety precautions must be observed in order to reduce the risk of injury, electric 

shocks, fire or damage to the equipment: 

 

Opening or removing the housing cover from the VISY-Command could result in a 

risk of electric shock. 

 

Do not change or modify the system or add any equipment without the prior consent 

of the manufacturer. 

 

Only use original parts. These comply with the technical requirements specified by the 

manufacturer. 

 

The installation, operation and servicing of the sensors and the VISY-Command must 

solely be carried out by expert personnel. 

 

Operators, installers and service technicians must observe all applicable safety regula-

tions. This also applies to any local safety and accident prevention regulations which 

are not stated in this manual. 

 

The VISY-Command central unit is only suitable for wall mounting inside buildings 

and must not be installed in potentially explosive areas. 

 

The isolating amplifiers type VP-… respectively VISY-RFR, and the interface type VI-… 

included in the VISY-Command central unit must always be undamaged and clean. 

 

During normal operation, the casing cover of the VISY-Command central unit must 

remain closed. 

 

The product may be powered only via the permissible auxiliary power supply. 

 

The safety instructions in this manual are marked as follows: 

 

If these safety instructions are not observed, it may result in the risk of accident or 
damage to the VISY-X system. 

 

Useful tips and information in this manual, you should observe, appear in italics 
and are identified by this symbol.
