WARNING: The SPILLSTOP ULTRA is intended as an emergency
backup system only, and is not intended as a substitute for
operator diligence during the loading process.
The operation of the SPILLSTOP Ultra during the loading operation
is as follows: When the tank is empty, the green EMPTY/RE-
ARM indicator is on, the horn is off, and the engine or pump is
allowed to run. As the uid level starts to rise, the EMPTY/RE-
ARM indicator goes out. When the horn alarm point is reached,
the yellow HORN ALARM indicator comes on and the horn is
activated with a 1 second on, 1 second off cycle. Depressing the
horn alarm BYPASS at this point lights the red horn alarm bypass
indicator and silences the horn. If the uid level continues to rise
and reaches the engine shutdown point, the red SHUT DOWN
indicator will come on and the pump or truck engine will be shut
off. Depressing the shutdown BYPASS at this point lights the red
shutdown bypass indicator and allows the pump or engine to be
restarted. When either one of the BYPASS switches are depressed,
the associated alarm indicator remains on even though the alarm
function has been suppressed; this reminds the operator that
the uid level situation which triggered the alarm still exists. As
the tank is unloaded the alarm indicators will go out when the
uid level drops below the alarm points, and the bypasses will
be cleared (the system is re-armed) when the EMPTY/RE-ARM
indicator comes back on. This automatic feature means that
there is no need for the operator to re-arm the system, removing
the possible operator error of forgetting to re-arm. If the tank is
not lled to the alarm point, the system can still be bypassed to
prevent sloshing from sounding the horn or shutting down the
engine during driving. If the tank is to be lled from more than
one location, the alarms can be bypassed during driving between
loading sites, and the system manually re-armed to re-establish
spill protection for the second load. Re-arming is done by pressing
both of the BYPASS buttons at the same time for two seconds.
The SPILLSTOP Ultra has a number of convenience and safety
features built into it. When the tank is empty, the bypasses will
not work, preventing accidental bypassing before loading. Delays
are incorporated into the system to prevent electrical noise or
momentary bad connections from disrupting operation. A short
circuit in the wiring to the gauge, or plugging the SPILLSTOP plug
into the trailer lighting socket, lights the red SHORT CIRCUIT
indicator and shuts down the pump or engine. An open circuit
in the wiring to the gauge, or a disconnection of the plug to the
trailer, lights the red UNPLUGGED indicator, sounds the horn, and
shuts down the pump or engine. The alarms from an unplugged
situation can be bypassed to allow operating the tractor without
the trailer connected. The pulse signal between the gauge and the
