The 1218C External Input/Output Expansion Module is an accessory to the 1218C Electronic Tank Gauge. This

module provides an additional 6 digital inputs, and 6 relay outputs when connected to a 1218C Electronic Tank

Gauge

Failure to follow any or all of the warnings and instructions in this document could result in a hazardous

liquid spill, which could result in property damage, environmental contamination, re, explosion, serious

injury or death.

Le fait de ne pas se conformer à l’un ou l’autre des avertissements ou à l’une ou l’autre des directives

apparaissant dans ce document pourrait donner lieu à des déversements de liquides dangereux, lesquels

pourraient engendrer des dommages matériels, des risques de contamination environnementale,

d’incendie ou d’explosion, des blessures graves ou la mort.

Warnings

• Fire Hazard – Death or serious injury could result from spilled liquids.

• You must be trained to install or maintain this Electronic Tank Gauge. Stop now if you have not been trained.

• Anymodicationofthisunitbeyondwhatisoutlinedinthisinstructionwillvoidproductwarranty.

• For your safety, it is important to follow local, state, federal and/or OSHA rules that apply to working

inside, above, or around the storage tank and piping area. Use all personal protective equipment required for

workinginthespecicenvironment.

• Tankscouldbeunderpressure.Vaporscouldbeexpelledfromtankvents,piping,valvesorttingswhile

WARNING: ThisdeviceisintendedtobeinstalledinanOrdinaryLocation(UnclassiedLocation)andbeused

with other Ordinary Location devices.

Mounting

To maintain the NEMA 4X rating

•ThreeopeningshavebeenprovidedinthebottomoftheNEMA4Xenclosureforconnectionandwiring.

Only use Thomas & Betts Cat. No. H050GR-TB or H050-TB or equivalent hubs in the one opening

for ½” conduit and Thomas & Betts Cat. No. H075GR-TB or H075-TB or equivalent hubs in the two

openings for ¾” conduit.

•Mountingtabshavebeenprovidedwiththeproducttomounttheenclosure;donotmakeadditionalholes

in this enclosure.

•Ensurethatbothcoverlatchesarelatchedatalltimes.

Failure to follow these instructions voids any assurance that the enclosure is NEMA 4X.

Wiring

The 1218C External Input/Output Expansion Module (I/O Module) communicates with the 1218C Electronic

Tank Gauge (1218C) over an Ethernet connection. The I/O Module contains a 2-port Ethernet switch that

can be used to daisy chain the Ethernet connection to a network allowing both devices to be accessible from

the network. This is especially useful for new installations to reduce the amount of Ethernet cabling and/or

networking devices required to connect the I/O Module and 1218C to a computer or network.

Figure 1 shows the digital input and relay output connections of the Moxa E1214-T device contained within

theI/OModule.Uptosixdryorwetcontactdevices(seespecicationssection)canbeconnectedtothedigital

input channels (DI). The dry contact inputs must share a common ground connection (GND), and the wet contact

inputs must share a common source/return (COM). The proper connections for dry contact and wet contact

devices are illustrated in Figure 2 and Figures 3 and 4, respectively.

rev. 03-08-18

UptosixrelayoutputscanbeconnectedtoACorDCloads(seespecicationssection).TheI/OModuledoes

not provide power to the loads. The loads being driven must supply their own power. Figure 5 shows the proper

connection of a relay output to a power source and load.

Figure 2— Digital Input connection to Dry Contact Output

Figure 3—Digital Input wiring to Sinking Wet Contact Output (NPN)

Figure 4—Digital Input wiring to Sourcing Wet Contact Output (PNP)

Figure 5—Relay Output Connection

The input power should be wired to the power supply connections labelled ‘L’, ‘N’, and Ground (symbol) in the

I/O Module as shown in Figure 6. A grounding stud is provided to tie all ground connections together.

IMPORTANT: To prevent premature failure of the relay contacts it is strongly recommended to use a fuse and

transient voltage suppressor (e.g. varistor, TVS diode). See Figure 5 for details.

Preparation

BeforestartingthecongurationprocessndthestaticIPaddressofthe1218CElectronicTankGaugeand

recordthisaddressbelowasitwillbeusedduringthecongurationprocess.Ifthe1218CConsoleisusing

DHCPyouwillneedtocongureitwithastaticIPaddressbeforecontinuing.Referto‘ConguringYour

conguringastaticIPaddress.

Next you will need to obtain a static IP address for the I/O Module. Record this IP address below for reference

throughoutthecongurationprocess.

IMPORTANT: The 1218C External I/O Module and 1218C Electronic Tank Gauge must be allocated static IP

addressesbythenetworkadministratorandmustnotconictwithanyotherdevicesonthenetwork.

verifying that the I/O Module is enabled and communicating properly with the 1218C. Open the status web page

and verify that the ‘External Inputs’ section does not show “DISABLED” or “COM ERROR”. Instead it should

display “NO ALARMS” or any active alarms if the sensors are connected and in the active state.

Next verify that each input is being detected by the 1218C by activating the input and verifying the External

Inputalarmshowsuponthestatuswebpage,oralternatively,lookfortheashingLEDonthefrontofthe
