AccuLoad IV-SA
The Smith Meter AccuLoad IV Split Architecture System is a unique solution for multiple arm, multiple meter control and
measurement systems used to control a lane of loading arms. The system is designed to mount in either a North American
Class I Div. 2 area, a Class I Zone 2 area or a General Purpose area. Up to 18 loading arms and 24 meters can be controlled
and monitored by the system, which includes the Man Machine Interface (MMI) and the Flow Control Module (FCM). The MMI
provides the display and user interface for the system, while the FCM houses the control and I/O for the loading arms. These
loading arms can be controlled either as blended or straight product arms. The system has the flexibility of handling multiple
blending applications, straight ratio blending, side stream blending, and up to six-product sequential blending on the same
loading lane. Using a single MMI, up to six arms can be loaded simultaneously. Using two MMIs, up to twelve arms can be
loaded simultaneously.

AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Kit (UG3)


The Smith Meter AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Kit is designed to upgrade an AccuLoad III to AccuLoad IV. This upgrade kit
allows customers who have purchased AccuLoad IIIs to upgrade their entire unit technology with minimal down time and
reduced installation or automation costs. The upgrade kit maintains the loading arm configuration being used in the AccuLoad
III. The upgrade uses the AccuLoad III housing while replacing existing cover boards and software.* The upgrade kit gives
AccuLoad III owners the opportunity to protect their operation and take advantage of the leading edge features of AccuLoad IV
without having to change their existing terminal automation or conduit system.

Load Arm Features


The AccuLoad loading arm functions are individually programmable providing flexibility for how each arm can be configured.
The AccuLoad IV-ST, N4 and UG3 hardware supports up to four product meters that can be distributed among two load arms
while the AccuLoad IV-QT hardware allows six product meters that can be distributed among six load arms. The AccuLoad SA
system has the capacity for up to twenty four product meters that can be distributed over 18 load arms.

AccuLoad IV has the flexibility of handling loads arm functions that include straight product, sequential blending, straight ratio
blending, side stream ratio blending, wild stream blending and hybrid blending. Other arm functions include unloading and
vapor recovery operation.

Straight Product
A straight arm is used to deliver a single product through a single meter.

Sequential Blending
Blending of multiple products into a compartment through the sequencing of product specific block valves, one product at a
time, through one meter and control valve and flowing through a single loading arm into a compartment.

1 Eight of the DC I/O points are individually programmable as either inputs or outputs; the number indicated is the maximum if all programmed as inputs or all
programmed as outputs.

Bulletin SS06200 Issue/Rev. 0.0 (4/17) 3


Ratio Blending
Blending multiple products simultaneously through dedicated product lines each having its own meter and control valve,
co-mingling in a common header and flowing through a single loading arm into a compartment.

Side Stream Blending


Blending of a minor product and a major product where the minor product is metered and controlled by a valve and the main
product is free flowing. A second meter and control valve is located downstream of the blending point and measures/controls
the flow of the blended product. This is sometimes referred to as inline blending.

Hybrid Blending
Hybrid blending is defined as a combination of sequential blending and ratio blending. A typical hybrid blending arm configura-
tion may be three sequential products and one or two ratio products. The sequential products flow one at a time and in most
cases one of the ratio products would flow simultaneously with each of the sequential products. The ratio product(s) can be
plumbed either upstream or downstream of the sequential product meter. On a hybrid arm there must be at least one sequen-
tial product configured.

Wild Stream Blending


This blending configuration is used in applications where it is desired to continuously blend two products where a preset
volume is not normally used. One of the products can be uncontrolled (wild stream). This option is available with the hybrid
arm configuration. Wild Stream Blending supports spontaneous blend percent changes and also for changing meters to
accommodate varying flow rates.

Unloading
The AccuLoad IV allows a vessel to be unloaded without entering a preset volume. Implementing this feature requires that a
load arm be identified as “unloading”.

Vapor Recovery – “Straight with VRS”


This arm type supports delivering a single product while monitoring the amount of vapor recovered. This feature requires
a load arm type to be programmed as “Straight with VRS”. Two meters are required for this application to determine the
amount of vapor recovered while loading light density products. The AccuLoad provides a vapor product total and a net mass
total between the liquid product meter and the vapor product meter in the system. This feature will allow for the AccuLoad to
monitor the amount of vapor leaving a loading compartment while measuring and controlling the amount of product entering
the same loading compartment. The product entering the compartment can be delivered in volume or mass. The vapor leaving
the compartment must be measured in mass and requires the vapor recovery meter to be a mass meter.

Standard Features
Temperature Compensation
The temperature compensation option provides the customer with the capability of compensating for the variance in tempera-
ture from a reference temperature. This option is used with an RTD input or a temperature transducer and, excluding the
accuracy of the fluid temperature measurement, will exactly match the proper volume correction factor of ASTM-D-1250-04
and API MPMS CH 11.1-2004 over the fluid temperature range of -58°F to 302°F (-50°C to 150°C). The following selec-
tions for API standard compensation methods can be programmed:API 2004 crude oils, API 2004 refined Products, API C
Tables - special products API 2004 lube oils, API E Tables - LPG, NGL, API Chapter 11.2.1M, API Chapter 11.2.2M, API 1952
Tables 6, 23, 24, 53 & 54 (supported for Asphalt), NH3 - Ammonia, TP-15 vapor pressure calculations conform to API 11.2.5,
Aromatic Hydrocarbon products (ASTM D1555).

For light products such as NGL and LPG (E tables), calculations are performed per API Chapter 11.2.4 or GPA Technical
Publication TP-27. The standard provides CTLs (correction for temperature on a liquid) calculated to 5 decimal digits
(e.g. 0.xxxxx or 1.xxxxx).

For ethanol compensation, selections are available to use API 11.3.3, EPA RFS2, Brazilian tables BR1A, BR1P, and BR2P,
and PTB Eth/Gas equations.

4 Bulletin SS06200 Issue/Rev. 0.0 (4/17)


Pressure Compensation
The pressure compensation option provides the customer with the capability of compensating the volume of product delivered
at varying pressures per API Tables 11.1, 11.2.1 and 11.2.2, using a 4-20 mA pressure transducer input per preset position.
This option also contains real-time control functions for maintaining system pressures at the meter to a minimally-acceptable,
user-definable level (pressure transducer not included). This option is particularly useful for light products, such as LPG, where
the compressibility factor varies a great deal with different pressures.

Density Correction
The density correction option provides the customer with the capability of correcting the volume of product delivered at varying
densities. This can be either a frequency input or a 4-20 mA input.

Metered Injectors, Piston Injectors, and Smart Additives


The AccuLoad IV has been designed to provide maximum flexibility when it comes to additive control. The unit is capable of
handling metered injectors, piston injectors and smart additives simultaneously.

The AccuLoad is capable of controlling four additive injector metered systems. (See Hardware Options for additional injector
systems.) The AccuLoad controls the additive solenoids to precisely inject the additive into the main product. It monitors the
pulses of the additive meter and controls the amount of the additive, based on the incoming pulses from the additive meter and
the main product meter.

Additive monitoring and smart additives provide the capability for the AccuLoad to monitor the feedback from the piston
injectors of the additive products. The AccuLoad monitors the injector feedback switches for a change of state and counts
the errors and alarms if no change is detected within the cycle or a period of time, depending on how the unit is programmed.
The AccuLoad will totalize the additive volume based on confirmation signals and a programmable volume per cycle.
The totalized volume will print on the emulated load ticket printed on the shared printer output.

For Smart additives, the firmware has also been designed with a Master/Slave type of communications, with the AccuLoad
being the master and the Additive Injector System being the slave. The AccuLoad constantly interrogates the Additive Injector
System for a change in status. The AccuLoad can be operated with communications control over the Smart Additive Injector
System or with communication/pulse control. When the AccuLoad has communication control over the Additive System, it will
constantly monitor the Additive System for its status, poll the additive totals, and signal the system when to inject the additive
all through the communications line.

The AccuLoad communications package has also been designed with a pass-through communications mode. In this mode of
operation the supervisory computer can talk to the Additive Injector System through the communication lines that have been
run to the AccuLoad and from the AccuLoad to the Additive Injector System(s).

Dual Pulse Security


The AccuLoad may be configured to provide continuous monitoring, error indication alarm, and correction of the pulse
transmission for each preset position* as per API Petroleum Measurement Standard, Chapter 5.5, Level A, and Institute of
Petroleum Standard, IP 252/76, Part XIII, Section 1, Level A, or ISO 6551:1982. In order to utilize this feature, a transmitter
capable of providing the proper pulse signal must be connected to the pulse inputs of the AccuLoad such as the Smith Meter®
UPT. The UPT transmitter provides four signals: “A,” “A inverted,” “B,” and “B inverted.” The “A” and “B” signals are 90 elec-
trical degrees out-of-phase and used for dual-pulse security. The “A” and “A inverted,” and “B” and “B inverted” signals are 180
electrical degrees out-of-phase and are used for transmitter power sensing. If power sensing is not required, only “A” and “B”
are required for dual-pulse security.

* Note: The use of the “A inverted” and “B inverted” signal inputs reduces the amount of available individual meter inputs.

Bulletin SS06200 Issue/Rev. 0.0 (4/17) 5


Automated Proving Mode
The AccuLoad IV provides an automated proving mode of operation. When the automated proving mode is activated the
AccuLoad will calculate the meter factor for a proving run based on information that is obtained during the prove. The operator
can select the flow rate and meter factor that is being proved through the user interface of the AccuLoad. After the prove
is complete the operator enters the prover volume and prover temperature and the AccuLoad will calculate the new meter
factor and the operator has the choice of downloading it to the program or to ignore it. The AccuLoad also has the capability
of providing an average meter factor over a maximum of six proves. This feature allows the operator to prove the meter on all
four products, and four meter factors and associated flow rates for each product without having to enter the program mode for
each product and meter factor.

Boolean and Algebraic Processing


The AccuLoad IV provides the customer the flexibility to set-up inputs and outputs for tasks that are not standard in the unit.
Through Boolean processing, relays can be turned on and off through equations and events set-up by the customer. For
example, a relay is required to close at the first trip point of the load. This can be set-up using Boolean processing and does
not require special software from TechnipFMC.

Algebraic processing is also an area that the customer can use to do simple mathematical calculations that are not in the unit.
These calculations can then be used on the configurable reports for the current batch being run by the unit.

Hardware Options
AccuLoad Interface module
The AccuLoad IV Interface module (A4I) provides additional flexibility to the AccuLoads standard features. The optional A4I
module provides either ten additional metered additive injector systems or twenty additional programmable outputs. This
module provides the AccuLoad IV with the capability of handling up to fourteen metered injectors, fourteen meter inputs, four-
teen solenoid valve outputs, and fourteen additive pump outputs. Adding two A4I modules provides the capability to handle up
to twenty-four additive injector systems (meters, additive pumps, and solenoid valves) or an additional forty programmable AC
outputs. The optional A4I module(s) are designed to either be mounted in the AccuLoad IV housing or
in a stand-alone enclosure (REM). One of the four communication ports is required to communicate with the A4I modules.

Card Reader Interface


The AccuLoad IV can obtain proximity card data through a proprietary interface board. The AccuLoad can also pass card data
and status to a host computer. The card reader interface is activated by choosing the card reader option in the serial commu-
nications function program code. This new interface offers the potential for enhanced functionality and security ranging from
simple transaction-stamping with driver card data to a mini automation system with validation and authorization.

Man Machine Interface (MMI) for SA units


The Division 2 approved Man Machine Interface (MMI) may be ordered with optional green and red indicator lights, and/or
a "stop" button. These are user-wired devices. The indicator lights can be used in place of the indicator lights on the overfill/
ground system. The MMI can also be ordered with a proximity card reader. (Refer to Specification Sheet SS06044 for card
reader details.)

Fuse Holders for SA units


Up to 50 fuse holders can be mounted in the Division 2 enclosure. These fuse holders can be used as additional protection for
wiring to valve solenoids, etc.
