Section Xl — index iv Section l - Introduction M“ Specification Overview The Smith Electronic Crude Oil Gathering System consists of three components: a TCP cab-mounted flow computer, an optional transceiver for RF com? munications, and the routing and dispatch data processing software. The heart of the system is the TOP-CO microprocessor-based flow computer. specifically designed for the custody transfer of crude oil at production lease sites. The TCP»RAD data procesSing software is a Windowsbased appli- cation designed to streamline and organize the routing and dispatch of tank trucks for crude oil gathering tank collection operations. The optional transceiver transmits data between the TOP—RAD and TCP-CO. The Smith TCP—CO is a microprocessor-based, fully programmable, electronic truck-mounted computer designed for the recording of crude oil transported by truck between oil tank (producer) and pipeline, which is considered a custody transfer. This manual describes the installation operation, and program mode operations for the TOP-CO. It defines in detail the mounting configurations for the mass meter. as well as the various menus and sub- menus in the Main and Program Mode menus. It also defines in detail the hardware keypad interface: how to enter the Program Mode; and how to make numeric, option, and alphanumeric entries into the TCP~CO. Keypad Interface The pushbuttons on the keypad perform the follow» ing functions while the instrument is in the Program Mode: 0 - 9 Used to enter access codes, parame- ters, and data entries. ARROW («t—4) Used to locate the display cursor on a numeric or option parame- ter that requires programming, Used to select alphanumeric characters from a list to form a text entry. CLEAR Used for clearing incorrect entries, getting from a program code to the di— rectory, and for getting to an exit point. ENTER Used to enter a selection from a list indicated by a cursor on the menu, and to enter data into memory. NEXT If there are more parameters and menus than are currently shown on a display, MORE... will appear at the bottom of the display. Pressing the NEXT key will allow the operator to view these remaining entries, one display at a time. NEXT scrolls through all defined stops in operations mode. MENU Used to display the main directory of the program mode if in program mode; otherWise, used to display the main menu START Not used in program mode, used to initiate truck loading in operations mode. STOP Used to set the security level for a programmed parameter in program mode. ln operations mode, STOP will terminate loading. +/- Used to change the Sign on numeric entries. A/PRINT This dual-function key serves as a decimal point entry key in the program mode. in operations mode, it is used to end the load and print a receipt, F1 Function key, performs various func— tions undefined by other keys. F2 Function key, performs various func— tions undefined by other keys. TCP-RAD System Requirements The TOP—RAD will operate on IBM PC—compatible (388 or better) computers operating in a Windows environment (3.0 or later) with at least 2 M of mem- ory and one 34/2" floppy disk drive. The hard drive should have at least 3 M offree disk space. MN06102 Issue/Rev. 0.0 (3/98) Section II - Installation The installation section of this manual describes the requirements for installing the TOP-CO crude oil gathering system on a truck. The TCP-CO system includes the ST Mass Meter, a Flow Switch. the TCP»CO electronics and the transceiver (if using FiF communications). The mass meter and the Flow SWitch are mounted on the back of the truck cab as shown in Figure 4. The TCPVCO electronics is mounted inside the truck cab and the RF Trans- ceiver (if used) is mounted in the control room (non» hazardous conditions), Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated In a commercial environ- ment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio trequency energy and, if not in- stalled and used In accordance with the instruc- tion manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. This equipment has been shipped with all ac- cessories, approved by Smith Meter, that are necessary for proper operation. Changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by Smith Meter could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area or operating non-approved modified equipment is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the In» terference at his own expense. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the intended application and location of this equip- ment is non-hazardous (ordinary location). En- sure that all national and local codes are oh- sewed. Mechanical The mechanical installation of the system involves four parts: the electronics, the meter, the meter sup- port and the Flow Switch. Electronics Installation of the TCP-CO 1. Locate the TCP—CO unit in the truck cab where it is eaSily accessible for wiring using the hard- ware provided. 2. If using the optional FiF communications to communicate with the control room, the TOP CO should be located so that it is on a “line of sight" path to the transceiver. 3, For details on the wiring ofthe unit, see Figure 6. Installation of the RF Transceiver (optional) The RF Transceiver. if used. should be located next to the computer in the control room. If the radio fre~ quency communications is not used, a communicate tion line can be wired from the TOP—CO to the com- puter. When using the radio frequency communica- tions the transceiver should be located so that there is a line of sight between the transceiver and the TOP-CO unit. The maximum communication dis- tance for the RF communications is 100 feet. 1. Locate the AC power adapter and shielded se» rial cable supplies with the RF Transmitter. 2. Position the RF Transceiver in a “line of sight" path to the TCP-CO location. 3. Plug the AC power adapter into the power jack on the rear of the RF Transmitter. 4. Connect the RF Transmitter to the control room PC using the shielded serial cable. 5. Plug the AC power adapter into a 110 Vac out- let. 6. Verify that the “POWER“ LED on the front of the HF Transceiver is on. 7. Turn on the PC and verify that the computer starts properly. 8. Installation of the RF Transceiver is complete. Note: A “line of sight“ path is usually a visual pam between the antenna of the HF Transmitter and the truck. ll the building is a metal structure or metal was used in the lraming of the building, then the HF Transmitter will work best when placed in a Wlndaw. The Window should not have an embedded metal safely grid. This type of window will significantly reduce the erleclive range of communications. MNOGiOZ Issue/Rev. 0.0 (3/98) Mwmnn—evn -. , “Hm—— Section N — Installation Meter 1. The meter should be mounted to the truck frame as shown in Figure 4. Meter Mounting. The mounting support and piping as shown in Figure 5 is supplied as a system with the meter- ing package. The assembly should be mounted to the truck frame so that it is two inches above the frame. When this two—inch space has been established, the truck frame and angles supplied should be drilled and bolted to the frame. See figures 5 and 6. Parts that are supplied as part of the meter in- stallation kit are as follows 1 - Mounting support 2 ~ 1/2-inch angle mounts 1 — 2 inch ST Mass Meter 1 - Flow Switch Model Q~SSS 4 - Mounting Bolts (angle mounts to support) 8 - Mounting Bolts (mounting ST Mass Meter to support) 2 » Gaskets 1 » Spanner wrench for meter electronics 1 - 1/2" pipe plug 1 ~ 1/2" NPT street elbow 4. Mount the ST Mass Meter as shown in Figure 4 (See Figure 7 for wiring.) Flow Swlfch 1. The Flow SWilch is to be mounted in the one- inch threadolet on the downstream side of the meter. The arrow on the bottom of the Flow Switch casting indicates the direction of flow, Turn the Flow Switch until tight and the arrow on the body casting is pointed in the direction of the flow. The gasket seal located between the main body casting and the lid casting is a Teflon composi- tion which is subject to a slight creep for a short period after the application of the initial clamping load. All gaskets are properly clamped before shipment, however. during shipping and storage the gaskets may compress, allowing the body»lid clamp bolts to become slightly loose. Tighten these bolts before assembling the flow switch in the system. No further creep of the gasket will occur after the second tightening. rCP-RAD Installation ——-——__—_— To install the TOP-RAD computer program: 1 .
