installation and when using the device in an explosive atmosphere.

Informative markings and symbols

This marking highlights essential information.

► This marking refers to a user measure.

1.2. Conformity of the product

The EU declaration of conformity and the product’s technical specifications are integral
parts of this document.

All of our products have been designed and manufactured with due consideration to the
essential European standards, statutes and regulations.

Labkotec Oy has a certified ISO 9001 quality management system and ISO 14001
environmental management system.

1.3. Limitation of liability

Due to continuous product development, we reserve the right to change these operating
instructions.

2. Safety and the environment

2.1. General safety instructions
The plant owner is responsible for the planning, installation, commissioning, operation,
maintenance and disassembly at the location.

Installation and commissioning of the device may be performed by a trained professional

only.

Protection of operating personnel and the system is not ensured if the product is not used in
accordance with its intended purpose.

Laws and regulations applicable to the usage or the intended purpose must be observed.
The device has been approved for the intended purpose of use only. Neglecting these
instructions will void any warranty and absolve the manufacturer from any liability.

2.2. Intended use

The idOil alarm system is intended for monitoring liquid levels particularly in oil and sand
separators.

The system consists of a control unit and connected sensors that have been installed in the
oil or sand separator. The sensors can be placed in a zone 0 explosive atmosphere, but the
control unit must be positioned in a safe area.

A more specific description of the product’s operation, installation and use is provided later
in this manual.

The device must be used in accordance with the instructions provided in this document.
Other use is counter to the product’s purpose of use. Labkotec cannot be held liable for any
damage caused by using the device in violation of its purpose of use.

2.3. Transport and storage

Check the packaging and its content for any possible damage.

Ensure that you have received all the ordered products and that they are as intended.

Keep the original package. Always store and transport the device in the original packaging.

Store the device in a clean and dry space. Observe the permitted storage temperatures. If
the storage temperatures have not been presented separately, the products must be stored
in conditions that are within the operating temperature range.

2.4. Installation and commissioning

The device does not have a mains switch and therefore the supply voltage
wires near the device should be fitted with an isolating switch (250 VAC/12
VA), which disconnects the wires (L1, N), in order to facilitate service and
repair procedures. The switch must be labelled as the unit's isolating
switch. The external switch must adhere to the standard IEC/EN 60947-1
or IEC/EN 60947-3. The supply cable must feature copper wires, 3 x 1.5–
2.5 mm2 (L, N, PE), AWG 16-13. The supply voltage and local supply
voltage tolerances must be taken into account with regard to the cable’s
maximum voltage.
Due to its open structure and to prevent electrical shocks, the idOil-D30
control unit must be installed inside a separate enclosure or device
cabinet.

DOC001602-EN-4
Installation and Operating Instructions | idOil-D30 6/51

If the temperature in the installation environment is expected to exceed

+40°C, the temperature tolerance of the supply voltage and relay
connection cable must be at least +80°C. Otherwise, any cable that meets
the applicable electrical regulations can be used as the supply voltage and
relay connection cable.
Due to the overvoltage protection, the protective earth wire (PE) must be
connected to the supply voltage connector (see Section Connections).
The internal temperature of the device can be 10°C higher than the
ambient temperature. This must be taken into account in the cabling of the
device.
The voltage connected to the contacts of both relays must be in the same
voltage class (ELV/LV), considering the maximum values listed in the
technical specifications.
The idOil control unit must not be installed in potentially explosive areas,
but a sensor connected to it may be installed in potentially explosive
atmospheres of zones 0, 1 and 2.
In potentially explosive area installations, the national regulations and
appropriate standards IEC/EN 60079-25 Intrinsically safe electrical
systems “i” and/or IEC/EN 60079-14 Explosive atmospheres - Electrical
installations design, selection and erection must all be followed.
If it is possible that static electricity can cause hazards in the
measurement environment, equipotential bonding must be attended
according to the regulations concerning potentially explosive
atmospheres. Equipotential bonding is done by connecting all conductive
parts to the same potential e.g. in a junction box. Equipotential bonding
system must be grounded.
The instructions concerning the inspection and maintenance of Ex
equipment contained in the standards IEC/EN 60079-17 and IEC/EN
60079-19 should be observed when executing service, inspection or
repair procedures in potentially explosive atmospheres.
See Technical specifications; Connection values and Appendix A System
diagram.

2.5. Repair
The device may not be repaired or modified without the manufacturer’s permission. If the
device exhibits a fault, it must be delivered to the manufacturer and replaced with a new
device or one repaired by the manufacturer.

2.6. Decommissioning and disposal

The device must be decommissioned and disposed of in compliance with local laws and
regulations.

3. Product description
3.1. Production operation

idOil® is an alarm system intended for monitoring liquid levels particularly in oil and sand
separators. The system consists of the idOil control unit and the idOil sensors installed in
the separator. The sensor cables can be extended with a cable connector or connection
box.

One to three digital idOil sensors of the same or different type can be connected to the
control unit. The sensors can be used to monitor the following:

High liquid level (idOil-LIQ high liquid level sensor)

Oil layer detection (idOil-OIL oil sensor)
Sludge layer detection (idOil-SLU sludge sensor)

1 Control unit idOil-D30

2 Cable connector LCJ1-3
High liquid level sensor idOil-
3
LIQ
4 Oil sensor idOil-OIL
5 Sludge sensor idOil-SLU

A Air
B Oil
C Water
D Sludge

Figure 1. System description; idOil control unit, sensors and cable extension

The system state, alarms and failures are shown on the control unit display.

In alarm and fault situations, the buzzer sounds an alarm and the relays are switched to the
alarm position.

The relays are of the failsafe type, which means that they also enter the alarm state when
operating power is lost.

The system settings can be changed with the device’s browser-based operating system via
a WLAN connection.

The operation of the product is described in more detail in the section Operation.
