Anode
Anode Installation
1. Deterrr'Ina size and quantity of anodes from application chart.
2. When single anode is Installed, .it should be located near the
tank center on either side of tank.
3. When r luitipie anodes are installed, space them evenly around
the tanl . See examples below.
7 anode 2 anodes 4 anodes
4.Anodes are shipped in either cardboard boxes or multi -wall
papersaiks. Remove outer container and bury the cloth bagged
anode. If anode is supplied in plastic bag, remove plastic bag
before in tailing.
5. Install anodes approximately two to three feet from the tank and
at least ads deep as the center line of the tank. Anodes work best
In locations with permanent moisture, so generally the deeper
the bette�ji.
6.After placing the anode, stretch out the anode connection wire
and extend over to a connection point on the tank fill pipe.
7. Cover the anode with approximately six inches of backfill and
pour 5 gallons of water on the anode to saturate the prepared
backfill. Water is necessary to activate the anode.
8. Connect the anode wire to the tank with a low electrical
resistance connection. Examples are threaded stud on' the
tank fill pipe or any accessible metallic connection point to the
tank. All annectlons should be coated with a moisture -proof
material.
9. Ideally, th tank connection is made in the area of the tank fill
Pipe within the covered dome. With access to the anode wire,
subsequen# testing of the tank can Include .measurement of
anode output and verification of performance.
10.Verify performance of the anode using an appropriate test
procedure.

Cathodic Protection Testing Procedure
Equipment Needed: Digital Voltmeter, Red Test Lead Min.12' Long
& Black Lead Min. 2' Long, Reference Electrode (Copper/Copper
Sulphate Half -Cell)
STEP 1: Using a digital voltmeter insert the red test lead into the Volt
jack of the meter and select the 2 or 20 volt DC scale. Clip red test
lead connector to an uncoated metallic area of the tank, preferably
to the fill pipe multivalve. A good solid connection is very important.
(DO NOT connect to shroud).
STEP 2: Insertthe black test lead into the Common jack on the meter,
and connect the opposite end of the lead to a charged reference
electrode (lr2 cell).
STEP 3: Remove protective cap from the porous plug at bottom end
of electrode. Place porous plug and into native soli (remove grass if
necessary) at four locations around the tank (one on each side of the
tank, and one at each end of the tank). If difficulty is encountered
obtaining readings, moisten soil with water or dig % cell deeper into
the soil.
STEP 4: Record all four meter readings on an appropriate form. The
least of all four readings should be a minimum of-0.850v or more
negative. {Note: if any of the four readings are below (less negative)
-0.850v then the tank is not fully protected}.
Charging Reference Electrode
STEP 1: Unscrew and remove porous plug and of new reference
electrode. Add deionized or distilled water to the copper sulfate
crystals, filling electrode completely, The solution will turn blue in
color and there should always be excess crystals at the bottom of
the tube. DO NOT USE TAP WATER.
STEP2: Replace porous plug end of electrode and place in an upright
position so that the porous plug end is facing in the down position
and let stand for 1 hour before use. This will allow the porous plug
to become completely saturated before use.
Caution: Do not allow electrode to contact oil, road salt$
, or other
substances that may contaminate the solution by absorption
through porous plug. Do not allow electrode to frea�P_
