INTRODUCTION 1

GENERAL OVERVIEW The TS-1000 12 and 14 Tank Sentinelmis a complete leak detection
and inventory monitoring system. It conducts leak tests that meet or
exceed all EPA standards, and gauges a broad variety of liquid
products with exceptionally high accuracy.

Up to four storage tanks can be tested and gauged simultaneously

(the Model TS-100012 can monitor up to 2 tanks, and the Model
TS-100014 can monitor up to 4 tanks). In addition, the TS-1000 can
be optionally equipped with up to 8.leak detection sensors. The
system supports interstitial, sump, vapor and groundwater
monitoring.

The TS-1000 operation can be custom configured to match the

hardware at your site, your unique communications needs and
management style. Typical console arrangements are shown in
Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.

Typical TS-1000 Console

without a Report Printer

NOTE:
A quick-installation upgrade
printer kit (TS-UG-P) is
available for consoles that
were not originally equipped
with a report printer.

Figure 1-2.TS-100014-P Console (with printer)

With the optional report printer (the -P option), the TS-1000can also
provide hardcopy records of leak detection (tank leak test
parameters and results) and inventory activity. In addition, reports
can be printed to record: tank leak test time estimates, deliveries,
line leak detector tests, each tank's setup, the system setup (less
tank setup), and fault alarms.

Alarms can be setup to sound audibly, control relay contacts, and

send messages to local or remote computers over standard
telephone lines. To name a few, fault alarms can be activated in
response to: high product levels, low product levels, high water
levels, tank leaks, product thefts, and signals from up to 8 leak
detection sensors.

Page 1-2 TS-1000 USER'S GUIDE Introduction

 GENERAL OVERVIEW

An example TS-100012-P system layout is shown, in Figure 1-3,

monitoring 2 underground storage tanks. Tank product and water
levels are measured in this example using 2 float tank probes.
Intrinsically safe circuitry at the level probe and sensor inputs of the
TS-1000 eliminates the possibility of igniting Class I, Div. 1, Group D
flammable liquids such as gasoline or diesel fuel contained in the
storage tank.

Typical TS-1000 outputs are available for: accessories, external

alarm annunciators, and a RS-232 modem connection to standard
telephone circuits.

 BASIC FEATURES
OPERATION Section 2 Topics

BASIC FEATURES Once the TS-1000 Tank Sentinelmhas been installed, set up, and
tested, the operator need not be concerned with the advanced
capabilities and features available through the setup menu.
Ordinarily, the user's only interaction with the system will be through
its keypad, display and printer. All of the basic features of the
system are available through these input and output devices.

Many kinds of information can be requested through the keypad.

This information will be shown on the system's front panel display or
may be printed out as reports.

Section 2 Topics Illustrations of the console's: front panel keypad, display, and
report printer are shown and described.

The keyboard command key functions and their basic operation

are explained.

A concise discussion of the TS-1000's advanced features, and

Functions front panel keys are described by the following paragraphs:

[TI LEVEL
Level is the physical height of the liquid in the underground storage
tank in inches or centimeters. Level is the total height of the product
including any water that may be at the bottom of the tank in
petroleum and similar applications. It is typically the same as the
level which would be read from a dipstick immersed in the tank (dip
stick reading).

1
7 GROSS Gross is the physical product volume in the tank in gallons or liters.
When two floats are used on the level probe to detect water at the
bottom of a tank as is done in petroleum and similar applications, the
volume of the water is not included in the gross volume. The gross
product volume is not temperature compensated and therefore will
change as the temperature fluctuates when a delivery occurs.

Temp is the product temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees

1 TEMP I Celsius. The Tank SentinePuses the product temperature in
temperature compensated calculations for net volume and in leak
detection measurements.

Water is the level of the second (lower) float on the liquid level probe
when two floats are used. This float is designed to float on the water
at the interface between the water and the product in petroleum
applications. It may be used to report the water level in the tank in
inches or centimeters.

Net is the temperature compensated product volume in gallons or

liters. The net volume is the volume that the product would occupy if
its temperature were 60 degrees Fahrenheit, or in systems
programmed for metric temperature, 15 degrees Celsius. Many
products expand and contract substantially as temperature varies.

Page 2-4 T S - 1 0 0 0 USER'S GUIDE Operation

 BASIC FEATURES
Keyboard Command Key Functions

Therefore, the gross volume of these products changes significantly

with temperature variation. By correcting the volume back to a
known temperature, a constant volume of product is reported
independent of temperature variations. This calculation is done in
accordance with the American Petroleum Institute's practices for
petroleum products. The calculation of net volume does not include
any water in systems equipped with two floats. It is important to
understand that the calculation of net volume is the basis for the leak
detection capability in the system.

Ullage is the remaining capacity in the tank in gallons or liters.

CLOCK Clock displays the TIMEIDATE (the current Time or Date). You can
switch between Time and Date by pressing the Up or Down key.
The clock function will automatically be replaced by the previous run
mode display after 20 seconds.

Up will scroll you through the selections available from the Clock,
Alarm, Report, Test, and Setup key functions.

The Alarm key is used to review a list of alarms in the order in which
they occurred. The Alarm List can be displayed by pressing the UP
or DOWN keys. The alarm list display shows either currently active
or clearedalarms. Alarms that are currently active will show an A in
the right digit of the lower status display row. Alarms will remain
active until the fault condition no longer exits. Alarms that have been
cleared will display a C. See ACK key.

Automatic Alarm When an alarm condition is detected, a variety of events may occur
Processing depending on how the TS-1000 is set up. An alarm can be setup: to
sound the TS-1000's internal horn andlor close an external relay for
remote alarm annunciation, and to automatically generate an alarm
report at the console's printer. The TS-1000 can also be setup to
automatically dial (autodial) up to four different telephone numbers
and report the alarm condition to remote computers. In addition, an
optional relay output BriteBox accessory unit may be configured to
shut-off product dispenser pumps, or to turn onloff other devices.

In most cases, alarms alert you to take immediate action. It is

Steps to take When important to acknowledge an alarm (see ACK SHIFT key -
an Alarm Occurs Acknowledging and Silencing Alarms) and take immediate action to
find and remove the cause of the alarm to clear the fault condition.
For example: Your console's alarm horn sounded. The printed
Alarm Report and Alarm List shows a PRODUCT 1 alarm. You
acknowledged the alarm which warned you that a liquid hydrocarbon

and local regulations and starting a leak test, and the sensor's Installation Manual about the
procedures when a product required cleaning and the recovery of a sensor after product
leak has been detected. alarms.

Non-critical Event Alarms Some alarms may be programmed as management tools that signal
a non-critical event or condition. A low product level limit alarm
might be set at a predetermined &r level which would alert a
manager to call for a product delivery. In this case, the alarm
condition would clear itself after a delivery causes the product level
to rise above the reorder set point (low product level limit).

Example Alarms The system can generate a number of different alarms. Included
among these are: High and High High Level alarms (tank overfilled
or full), Low and Low Low level alarms (reorder or run out), high
water alarms (stop product dispensing), theft alarms, leak alarms,
and system failure alarms (See Section 6.1).

Automatic Alarm History All alarms are automatically recorded in an alarm history - memory
Storage buffer which may be printed out and examined. The alarm history
memory buffer stores up to 50 of the most recent alarmsfor the
generation of reports (see Report).

The ACK SHIFT key has two functions: to acknowledge and silence
alarms while in the normal run mode, and as an shift input character
selector key while in the setup mode.

Silencing Alarms acknowledge and silence alamls that have been programmed to
sound the console's internal alarm horn andlor an optional remote
alarm annunciator. Acknowledging an alarm does not affect the
system in any other way. The alarm remains active in the system
until the alarm condition has been removed (cleared). Alarms which
have been cleared (C) are removed from the Alarm List display
when the ACK key is pressed while viewing the alarm list, but are
not removed from the Alarm History memory buffer.

Sample Reports These reports are described in detail in the Sample Reports
document (PN 000-1424). All reports are date and time stamped
and include a report header that identifies your system for record
keeping purposes.

Automatic Printing Many of the reports that can be ordered directly from the front panel
of Reports may also be setup and scheduled to print automatically at specific
times that you choose. Among these are the: lnventory report,
lnventory Reconciliation report, Delivery History report, Delivery
report, Alarm History report, and Alarm Status report. These reports
may be scheduled to be printed any day of the month or week, every
day, or during a particular business shift or during every shift.

In addition, Alarm, Delivery and Leak Test reports can be setup

(enabled) to print reports automatically when these events occur or
when a leak test ends (finished, canceled, aborted).

The TS-1000 Tank Sentinel setup mode is used to program your

system. Setup can be accessed by pressing the Setup key. The
configuration of your system can be customized by using the
console keypad and status display, or remotely by using optional

The TS-1000 system can perform accurate tank leak tests to meet
or exceed EPA, State, and local standards as required. Tank leak
tests may be started from the front panel by pressing the Test key.
Leak tests that are running may also be canceled from the front
panel. Reference the multicolored TS-1000 Quick Reference
Guide that accompanied your TS-1000 for information about
canceling leak tests.

The TS-1000 allows the user to configure or setup the:

1) percent confidence (probability of detecting a leak),
2) leak threshold or rate (smallest leak to be detected), and
3) leak test schedule per tank (minimum time between leak tests)
in order to: meet the various federal, state and local leak test
regulations and laws. When correctly setup, the system will
perform tank leak tests that meets or exceeds these regulatory
requirements.

NOTE Reference Section 4 about regulation requirements before

configuring your system.

Reference Section 4 in this manual about: how and when to leak

test, the leak test estimate report (estimated length of time required
to leak test a particular tank), and leak test report results.

Leak Test Scheduling Leak tests may be setup to occur at predetermined times in a
manner similarto reports (on any day of the month, on any day of a
week, daily, or none - not to occur at all). Tank leak tests may also
be scheduled from a remote computer.

 BASIC FEATURES: Automatic Features & Remote Operation
Sentinel Mode, Communications, Autodial

Automatic Features The TS-1000 Tank Sentinel has many features that allow it to
and Remote Operation operate automatically. it also has powerful communications features
that allow it to send data to remote sites, and to be setup and
operated entirely from a remote location.

Sentinel Mode The TS-1000 includes a Sentinel mode feature which can be
scheduled to run after business hours. While in the Sentinel mode,
the TS-1000 performs continuous low-resolution Tank Leak Tests
and product Thefl monitoring -automatically on all tanks. All other
automatic monitoring functions, such as alarm and product delivery
detection, also remain active in the Sentinel mode. In addition, any
high-resolution "compliance" Tank Leak Tests that have been
scheduled to start during this period will run instead of the Sentinel
mode's continuous leak test.

Communications The TS-1000 Tank Sentinel" includes an RS-232 communications

channel which is designed for use with a Hayes compatible modem.
Any data that can be shown on the console's display or reported on
its printer may be accessed remotely. Leak tests may be started,
alarms may be acknowledged, and reports may be created from a
remote computer having the optional Tank Sentinel"
communications sottware.

Autodialing The TS-1000 system also has the ability to initiate phone calls
automatically to a remote terminal (AutoDial) when particular events
occur (the autodial communications capability is functional with or
without the optional Tank Sentinel@communicationssoftware). A
call can be placed if an alarm occurs, when a delivery is detected, if
a product thefl is detected, or when a leak test result is available.
The system may programed to autodial up to four different phone
numbers in response to any of these events, and report the event.
In addition, calls can be automatically redialed if no connection
occurs.

BASIC FEATURES
Security

Security Access Code Access to your ATG from remote locations can be protected by a
Protection communications Security access code that you can program from
the setup mode. The TS-1000 software will check for the presence
of the security access code whenever a remote modem calls.
Connection to your TS-1000 will be permitted only if the security
access code transmitted by the remote equipment matches the
security code programmed in the TS-1000. Reference Section 3.2
Comm Ports Menu

Setup Password Protection Remote and local access to your TS-1000's setup mode and
configuration can be protected from vandalism or unauthorized
configuration changes by a setup password that you can program or
change from the setup mode. The setup Password (security code)
will restrict further access to the setup until the correct password is
entered. A setup password security code is recommended.

Alarm Acknowledge In addition, remote and local acknowledging (and silencing) of

Password Protection alarms can be limited to those who know the alarm acknowledge
password. If you program an alarm acknowledge password from
the setup mode, then alarms can not be acknowledged or
silenced without entering the correct acknowledge password.
See the notes in the ALARMIRELAY Menu about the automatic
alarmlrelay timeouts (silencing) before you decide to setup an ACK
WORD (alarm acknowledge password ).

Entering your Password The upper display will read PASSWORD? if a password has been
setup. You must input the password code ,which is displayed as
asterisks (***),and then press enter. If you enter the wrong
password, the lower display will read INVALID for 3 seconds before
If you forget your Passwords you can try again. If you forget your password then call our
customer service department at 1-800-833-8328.

 ADVANCED FEATURES
Special Tank Strapping Tables, Special Products, Special Compensation

ADVANCED FEATURES The TS-1000 system includes a number of advanced features that
are configured from the Setup Mode and are described below. After
these are setup (or if you don't require any of these advanced
features) you can disregard this page.

Special Tank Strapping The TS-1000 system includes strapping tables in memory for the
Tables standard tanks shown in Appendix A. The tank setup includes
standard and cylindrical tank selections. In addition, tanks that are
not perfect cylinders or a standard tanks, may be used by creating a
special tank strapping table. Up to 32 strapping points (volume-level
correction points) may be added. See the setup TANKS -TANK N :
CYLINDER, LENGTH, and CORRECT N submenu and the
explanation on how to setup a special strapping table.

Special Products The TS-1000 system can be used with virtually any liquid product
that is chemically compatible with its sensor and that is not too
viscous (thick) or sticky. Eight standard petroleum products are
included in the TS-1000 setup menu. However, in applications
where other products are used, the TS-1000 provides a special
products capability that can be used to characterize these liquids.
See the TANKS -TANK N - PRODUCT N submenu, and the SPEC
PROD submenu about this feature.

Special Compensation The TS-1000 system provides four temperature compensation

models for the liquid products. The first three are American
Petroleum Institute models and can be used with virtually any
petroleum product. They provide temperature compensation in
accordance with the API tables 6N54A, 681548, and 6C164C. In
addition, a special compensation capability is includedthat allows
the user to set up a temperature compensation table for any product.
See the SPEC PROD submenu about this feature.

ADVAnCED FEATURES
Special Probes

Special Probes Although the TS-1000 system is normally used with one of five
standard probes, it may be set up to operate with virtually any length
magnetostrictive liquid level sensor. This special probe capability is
provided to allow for special applications. It is also useful in retrofit
applications where the sensors may have been purchased earlier
and were used with obsolete equipment. See the SPEC PROB
submenu about this feature.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

TS-100012and TS-100014 This section describes the TS-100012 and TS-100014 setup mode
SETUP and the setup menu. The setup mode allows you to custom-
configure (program) the TS-1000 to function with the equipment that
is installed at your site, and to your business and managements
needs. The setup mode also allows you to configure the TS-1000 to
perform tank leak tests and liquid monitoring to comply with various
Federal, State, and Local regulations.

Accessing Setup, and Press [SETUP] to access the setup configuration mode (See also
Menu Choices Security). The EXIT SETUP function will always be the first default
item to be displayed when you access the setup mode. Along with
the exit setup function, the setup menu contains a list of up to 12
parent menus, each of which are structured in a family tree
arrangement. The parent menus provide a path to other submenus,
and then to the final menu selection list, or input data fields. Here
you configure the TS-1000 by making choices or by inputting data
values (alphanumeric characters or char's) for storage into the
TS-1000's tank and system setup memory.

After Setup Performance The performance and accuracy of your TS-1000 will only be as good
and Accuracy as the input values that you enter and store into memory from setup.
A memory backup battery preserves (holds) your setup configuration
when you loose electrical power. Its a good idea to preserve your
systems performance and accuracy by securing your setup
configuration from vandals or unauthorized accidental changes.

Security: Setup Password, You can do this by programming a setup password. Further access
and Access Code to the setup mode will be denied until the correct password is keyed-
in. The PASSWORD? inputs will be displayed as asterisks ("'),
and incorrect entries will display INVALID for 3 seconds before you
can try again. If you have a modem, you can also limit access to
your ATG by setting up a communications Security code. Both of
these security measures are recommended.

OVERVIEW BriteSensors

SENSORS SETUP MENU 3.4

TS-100012 and TS-100014 Up to 8 optional liquidlvapor detecting sensors can be wired directly
SENSORS SETUP MENU to the TS-1000 console. This menu provides the means to
automatically identify (auto-configure), or manually select, the type of
sensors installed, and also the means to optionallyrename the
sensor alarms with an alias for ease of identification on Alarm
History reports and Alarm status displays.

If you don't have any optional liquidlvapor detecting sensors

connected to the TS-1000's sensor input channels (at J6), then you
can skip this setup menu. See Note below.

NOTE Verify that jumper wires are installed only on all unused sensor
-
channels between the GND and IN terminals at the console's
SENSOR interface terminal strip J6. Channels which have sensor
wiring must not have this jumper installed. Reference each sensor's
Installation Manual for comprehensive details and diagrams.

OVERVIEW - BriteSensors When auto-configured, all BriteSensor's that are wired to the
TS-1000 console will be identified by a channel number, and model
type from each sensor's serial data "signature". This data is stored
in the TS-1000's memory. The type of sensor defines the kind of
alarms that the BriteSensor can generate.

BriteSensors discriminate (except the TSP-HIS) between water and

hydrocarbons (such as fuel oil ) and provide different encoded
alarms depending on which is present. Serial sensor data and
identification data is sent continuously from a BriteSensor to the
TS-1000 console's sensor - input channel terminals. The console
decodes the serial data and compares its type identification and
input channel location with the values stored in memory. It decodes

present). Several BriteSensor's generate identical alarms. These
are distinguished from each other by different channel numbers (N).

-
OVERVIEW Standard After auto-configuration, all unused channels and all channels that
(non-discriminating) Sensors are wired with standard liquid detecting sensors will be displayed as
STD N sensors since they do not have serial communications
capabilities. The standard sensor alarms (or faults) are recognized
at the TS-1000 console when an input signal is lost. Standard
sensors can not discriminate what type of liquid is present when it
alarms.
SETUP STEPS for SENSORS

Know Each Sensor Type, 1) For each sensor, you must know the: type (model), where it
Location, and Channel # is installed (location), and what sensor channel (1 -to - 8)
that it is wired to. When you have this information, choose
Access SENSORS Menu SENSORS and enter the SENSORS menu.

Automatically Configure 2) Choose AUTO CONFIG (automatically configure) the sensors

wired to the TS-1000. The display will show WAIT...for a
minute until each sensor is type-identified. The appropriate
type of sensor for that channel will be shown under the
SENSOR N -TYPE N menu (N is the channel number 1-to-8).
Make sure the sensor type has been identified correctly.

Rename and Record Sensor 3) Optionalbut Recommended for each sensor channel:
Alias rename and record the default alarm(s) that would occur with
a unique 12 character name (or alias) for easy identification
on Alarm displays and reports.

Example A): Renaming a A TSP-DIS (Discriminating Interstitial Sensor) is installed between

TSP-DIS Sensor's Name the walls of Tank 1 and is wired to sensor channel 2. It can alarm
when water or a hydrocarbon product is detected. You renamed

Page 3.4-2 TS-1000 USER'S GUIDE SENSORS Setup Menu

 Example B),
-
Sensor Alarms Setup Capabilities

SENSOR 2's default water alarm name from WATER 2 = WATER 2,

to WATER 2 = 2WATER 1 DIS, and renamed the default product
name from PRODUCT 2 = PRODUCT2 , to PRODUCT 2 = 2PROD
1 DIS. This renaming scheme identifies the sensor: channel, alarm,
where it occurred, and the type of sensor that produced this kind of
alarm.

Example B): Renaming a A TSP-HLS (High Level Sensor) is installed inside of Tank 1 and is
TSP-HLS Sensor's Name wired to sensor channel 1. The TSP-HLS is a standard high level
sensor. The float will rise and trigger an alarm when tank 1 is full or
overfilled. You renamed SENSOR 1's default alarm name from
STD 1 = STD 7, to STD 1 = ITANK IFULL (or l T 1 OVERFILL). You
did this to identify the sensor channel, where it occurred, and the
type of alarm that occurred.

When to use the Correct N Use the CORRECT N submenu only when:
Feature * You cannot match a Standard Tank TYPE from those found in
Appendix A, and
When your tank is not a perfect cylinder with a perfectly round
diameter and flat ends (the diameter is either elliptical andlor
the ends are bowed-out).

CAUTION To use the correction feature of the TS-1000, you must

select CYLINDER under the TANK SHAPE submenu, and you must
also input the LENGTH and DIAMETER of the tank. The selection of
the cylinder tank shape causes the TS-1000 to generate a tank
(strapping) table based on the calculated values of a perfect
cylinder. The tank strapping table must be corrected in volume at
various level positions so that it matches your tank chart. Failure to
correct the tank table will result in errors in all tank measurements,
data, and alarms.

CAUTION Correction data and tank shape are key parameters used
by the TS-1000 system. Incorrect or inaccurate data input will
produce errors in volume measurements and all resulting tank data.
Input the tank table correction data with care.

NOTE Normally, It is not necessary to enter correction data for steel tanks.
Most often, these may be handled using a cylinder tank shape
without correction. In this case you need to input only the length and
diameter.

You may add, delete, edit and display correction points to a tank
table from this submenu. When you input correction points, the
volume for the level at that tank table position is made equal to the
corrected data. Levels between two correction point levels are also
adjusted so that the tank table is without abrupt changes.

TANKS CORRECT N Submenu,
How to use the Correct N Feature

How to use the Correct N The setup steps for making tank table corrections is described below
Feature (have the tank manufacture's TankTable for reference):

1) Select the CYLINDER under the TANK SHAPE N submenu.

2) Under the TANK N submenu, go to the DIAMETER N

selection and input t h e m 1 tank diameter.

3) Under the TANK N submenu, go to the LENGTH N selection

and input t h e m 1 tank length.

4) { Recommended but not required } Leave the setup mode and

print a tank setup report and compare the tank table
produced with the tank manufacturer's tank table.

5) Enter the setup mode and go to the CORRECT N submenu.

Input volume corrections data at various level positions.

NOTE The number of correction points required will depend on the

amount the manufacturer's tank table is different form that of a
true cylinder and on the accuracy that you desire. It is
recommended that you input corrections at even 12-inch
intervals. The TS-1000 allows you to add a maximum of 32
correction points.

7) Leave the setup mode and print a tank setup report.

See Figure 3.5-1
8) You can add other correction points between these 12-inch
intervals where the errors are greatest. You may also
delete strapping points, or just edit a particular value that's in
error.

 TANKS CORRECT N Submenu,
Tanks with Doomed Ends; LENGTH N Calculation and Example

9) When you are satisfied that the corrected tank table matches
your tank's strapping table, document your corrected tank
table in TABLE 2 at the end of this section or print out a tank
setup report for the tank.

10) Finish any remaining TANK N submenu setup selections.

Tanks with Domed Ends The tank length and Diameter will affect how many correction points
are required to produce an accurate tank table. For tanks with
domed ends, it is recommended that you input the internal tank
DIAMETER N and calculate the internal length by the following
calculations (use a calculator and double-check your
calculations for accuracy):

Internal Tank 294.12 x GALLONS (volume units)

LENGTH N =
LENGTH N Calculation: DIAMETER N x DIAMETER N

Where: GALLONS is the actual number of gallons the tank holds

when it is completely full, which is found on the Tank Chart. It is K$
the nominal volume of the tank.

DIAMETER N is tank N's internal diameter in inches, and

LENGTH N is tank N's length in inches.

Example: Internal Length N A 10,000-gallon (nominal) tank, 96-inches in diameter actually holds
Calculation for a Domed 10,213 gallons when completely full (the gallon data taken form the
Ended Tank: tank manufacturer's tank chart). To find LENGTH N:

1) Multiply 10,213 by 294.12, resulting in 3,003,847.56

2) Divide by 96, resulting in 31,290.08
3) Divide by 96 again, resulting in 325.94 inches
4) Input 325.94 into LENGTH N and Enter

LEAK TESTS SETUP MENU 3.7

TS-l00012and TS-100014 The purpose of this menu is to allow you to: schedule automatic
LEAK TESTS SETUP Tank Leak Tests for all of your tanks, assign a probability of leak
MENU detection value (percent confidence), and assign a minimum leak
rate detection limit (threshold).

If you don't need to automatically schedule high resolution

(precise) tank leak tests, then only skip the LEAK SCHED
submenu in this Section.

NOTES 1) TIME input values are expected in a 24 hour format

(hour:minute:second HH.MM.SS), input a leading 0 (zero) when
necessaly. See the CLOCWCAL Menu about 24 hour time
format and range limits.

2) Not all months have 30 days. No tank will be leak tested during
February if you have scheduled leak test(s) to occur on the 30th
day of every month.

3) To meet all local codes, INCON recommends that the

THRESHOLD (leak rate limit) value is set to 0.1 GPH. Code
compliance is an important legal issue.

4) Precise tank leak tests should be scheduled to occur during

non-business hours: 2 hours (minimum) after the last product
dispensing, and 6 hours (minimum) after product deliveries.

5) Automatic printing of tank leak test reports is possible if the

console is equipped with a printer.

6) The results of tank leak tests can be sent to remote locations

over a modem line if the COMM PORTS menu, and its
AUTODIAL - DIAL TEST submenu, are correctly setup.

ALARMIRELAY SETUP MENU 3.9

TS-100012 and TS-100014 The ALARMIRELAY menu provides a path to 2 or 3 submenus.

ALARMIRELAY SETUP From the submenus you will choose (or assign YESINO) which
MENU alarm condition will sound an alarm, andlor will activate an alarm-
relay when a fault occurs.

The submenus present under the ALARMIRELAY menu are

described below along with their purpose.

1) ALARM submenu - sound the console's internal audible alarm

horn when any assigned alarm occurs.

2) RELAY submenu - activate the console's alarm-relay when any

assigned alarm occurs. The alarm-relay is most frequently used
in a remote Tank Overfill alarm (annunciator) and Tank Overfill
Alarm Acknowledge warning circuit. It is typically activated
when a high product level limit (TANK OVERFILL) alarm
occurs at any tank.

CNTL OUTPUT submenu - activate any of the assigned

channel relays (up to 8) of an optional TS-ROM (Relay Output
Module) BriteBoxTM.The control output submenu will not
appear there is a TS-ROM BriteBox connected to the
TS-1000 console. These channel relays can be wired, for
example, to disable a dispenser pump when either a high water
level or low product level limit alarm occurs.

Any combination of the tank related alarms, system related alarms,

line leak alarms, system fail alarms, external closure input alarms,
and sensor related alarms can be assigned from these menus.

CAUTION Do not skip this section. Alarms notify you of fault

conditions, such as an early tank leak warning. They are
intended to alert you so you can take immediate action.

TS-1000 USER'S GUIDE ALARMIRELAY Setup Page 3.9-1

ALARMIRELAY SETUP
NOTES

NOTES 1) In the ALARM submenu, selections ending with AL represent

the word "alarm". In the Relay submenu, selections ending
either with RLY or RY represent the word "relay".

2) Reference the TANKS - TANK N submenu(s) for tank-related

limit set points.

3) Reference the SYSTEM -LIMITS - LEAK, and THEFT limit

settings for these system-related set points.

4) Reference the TS-CIM Setup Submenu structure. The LN LEAK

AL (Line Leak Alarm) menu item is displayed and accessible
only when a TS-CIM control input module is installed and
when the MODE channel N submenu selection is LN LEAK.

5) Reference the TS-CIM submenu structure. The EXT CLO AL N,

or EXT CL RLY N (External contact Closure input AlarmlRelay
channel N) menu selections are displayed only when the
TS-CIM control input module is installed and when the MODE
N submenu selection is EXT CLOSURE.

6) Reference the SENSORS - SENSOR N for the types of sensors

that have been installed at each channel, the kinds of alarms
that each can produce, and where they were installed.
a) BriteSensorTMmenu choices are displayed only when a

CNTL OUTPUT The AlarmlRelay Control Output submenu allows you select which
alarms and TS-CIM BriteBox inputs will turn on or off (control) the
channel relays within the TS-ROM BriteBox. Up to 8 channel relays
in the TS-ROM can be used to disable dispenser pumps, solenoid
valves, and other devices.

This submenu is displayed only if a TS-ROM BriteBox accessory

has been connected to the TS-1000 console. BriteBoxes are
automatically detected.

If this menu i s displayed then DO NOT skip this section.

NOTE Reference the TS-ROM Installation Manual for additional details,

and examples. Also, know what devices are wired to the
TS-ROM BriteBox and which channels they are wired to.

-
Grace Period Definition The GRACE PERIOD is a programmable alarm-override. It
allows the device(s) which has been turned off (disabled) to operate
for the preset time.

Alarm Override Action The alarm-override begins when you press the console's ACK
SHIFT key and ends after the preset time period has elapsed.

Setting the Grace Period The GRACE PERIOD input time Range is from 0 minutes (no
override) to 120 minutes. Attempts to input a value outside of this
range will display RANGE ERROR for three seconds.

CAUTION Consider the action of all devices wired to the TS-ROM

relay contacts before you input the GRACE PERIOD. Set the grace
period to the lowest possible value of the most crucial device. Even
if one device should not be allowed to function after an alarm
occurs, then set the grace period to zero ( 0 ). Otherwise,
unexpected and undesirable results and hazards may occur.

SPECIAL PROD SETUP MENU 3.1 0

TS-100012 and TS-100014 The SPECIAL PROD menu allows you to specify (define) the:
SPECIAL PROD SETUP product name, temperature compensation, API gravity, and
MENU temperature coefficient (Alpha) for up to 4 special products. Special
products can supplement the list of standard products supported by
the TS-1000 (see Appendix C).

If you have selected a standard product for TANK N then you

can skip this setup menu.

NOTES 1) Conversely, if any tank contains a special product, then

SPEC PROD N must be setup from this menu. If you only
have one special product, which is contained in more than one
of yourtanks, then you only need to define one special product.
You must then select it (for example: SPECIAL I ) from the
TANKS - TANK N - PRODUCT N submenu for any tank that
contains this special product.

PROD NAME N allows you to describelidentify the special

product on printed Alarm History and Tank Setup reports. The
product name can be up to 12 Alphanumeric characters long.

TEMP COMP N selects the American Petroleum Institute (API)

Temperature Compensation method for special products.
Three choices are available, they are:

a) The API 6N54A method is used for crude oils and JP4.
b) The API 681548 method is used for most refined products.
c) The API 6C154C method is used for special products
such as lube oils.
d) Consult the supplier of the product for recommendations
on which temperature compensation method to use
and for product parameters.

TS-1000 USER'S GUIDE SPECIAL PROD Setup Page 3.10-1

SPECIAL PROD N Setup

CAUTION Although temperature compensation methods are

A provided for crude oil and heavy fuel oils, their high viscosity
may result in erroneous data and faulty leak tests.

NOTES 4) API GRAV N (API GRAVITY) input fortank N is required only

for special products that use a API 6A/54A, or API 651545
temperature compensation method(TEMP COMP N).

a) The API gravity input value must be entered in degrees

API.
b) Consult with the product supplier for the API degree
value(s).
c) The API GRAVITY input range is from tO to t100.
Attempts to enter inputs values outside of this range
will display RANGE ERROR.

5) ALPHA N (temperature coefficient) input is required only for

special products that use a API 6Cl54C temperature
compensation method (TEMP COMP N ).

a) Consult with the product supplier for the temperature

coefficient value(s).
b) The ALPHA N input range is from t270.000to
+930.000. Attempts to enter inputs values outside of
this range will display RANGE ERROR.

CAUTION The temperature compensation method, API gravity, and

the Alpha N temperature coefficient are key parameters used by the
TS-1000 system. Incorrect selection or input of these data values
will produce errors in all subsequent tank measurements and
resulting data that involve special products. Please select and input
these parameters with care.

SPECIAL PROB
SPEC PROBE N Setup Steps

A CAUTION The probe's length, number of RTD's, and the RTD

locations are key parameters used by the TS-1000 system.
Incorrect specification or input of these values will produce errors in
all subsequent tank measurements and resulting data that involve
special probes. Please select and input these parameters with care.

SPEC PROBE N Setup Steps 1) Input LENGTH N which is the overall mechanical length of the
probe in inches. The length of the probe's shaft is intended to
be equal to the tank diameter. The overall length will be equal
to the diameter of the tank plus 5 inches (or the measured
length of the probe's head to the top of the probe's shaft).

a) The length is located on the probe I.D. label.

b) The LENGTH N input range is from tO to t999.000

inches. Attempts to enter input values outside of this
range will display RANGE ERROR.

2) lnput the NO. RTDS N (number of RTD's) installed within the

special probe's shaft.

a) The NO. RTDS N input range is from 0 to 6. Attempts

to enter input values outside of this range will display
RANGE ERROR.

b) The number of RTD and their locations are imprinted on a

label which is found on the probes head.

c) Accurate product temperature measurements are

provided by probes which have from 1 to 6 RTD's.

 SPECIAL PROB
SPEC PROBE N Setup Steps

NOTE The TS-1000 measures tank liquid temperatures by averaging the

outputs of the tank probe RTD's. It is recommended at least 5 RTD's
are included in probes which will be used for leak detection.

3) Using the RTD LOCATE N submenu, input the RTD locations

for the special probe in decimal inches.

a) Reference TABLE 1. and use the EDIT or the DELETE

and ADD functions to correct the RTD location table for
SPEC PROBE N.

b) Use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through the RTD

locations in any RTD LOCATE N: Add, Edit, Delete, or
Display submenu function.

c) RTD location inputs must be added or edited in ascending

order exactly as shown on the probe's label from the
smallest number (NOT in parenthesis) to largest
number (NOT in parenthesis).

NOTE f@$ RTD location #1 is at the tip of the probe at the bottom of the tank,
and the highest RTD location is near the probe's head or top of the
tank as shown in TABLE 1.

d) The RTD LOCATE N input range is from +O to

t999.000 inches. Attempts to enter inputs values
outside of this range will display RANGE ERROR.

e) Attempts to input more than 6 RTD locations will result in a

TANK LEAK TESTING
-

LEAK TESTING The TS-1000 Tank Sentinel Automatic Tank Gauge system includes
the capability of performing highly accurate leak tests. The TS-1000
allows you to set up the percent confidence level (probability of
detecting a leak), leak rate threshold value (smallest leak to be
detected), and an automatic leak test schedule so you can comply
with local, state and federal regulations (see Section 3.7). When
correctly setup and used, the TS-I000 can be an effective means of
verifying that your underground storage tanks are, or are not leaking.

CAUTION Consult federal, state and local regulations that apply in

your area. These may require specific leak detection methods or
capabilities. It is the tank owner's responsibility to comply with
all applicable regulations when you setup your TS-1000.

WARNING Leak tests must be conducted in accordance with the

recommendations of this manual and any relevant technical bulletins
issued by INCON. Failure to do so could result in false alarms,
invalid test results, or undetected leaks.

NOTE The TS-1000 system has been tested by a recognized third party
laboratory using EPA's test protocol EPN5301UST-901006 "Standard
Test Procedures for Evaluating Leak Detection Methods: Automatic
Tank Gauging System" and EPN530lUSTI-901004 "Standard Test
Procedures for Evaluating Leak Detection Methods: Volumetric Tank

OVERVIEW Theory of Leak Testing

-
OVERVIEW Theory of The TS-1000 Tank Sentinel performs volumetric leak tests. This
Volumetric LeakTesting method relies on accurately measuring the contents of a tank over a
period of time to determine if it is leaking.
(Once read, you may skip this
topic in future references to Highly accurate product level and temperature measurements are
this section ) sent from the liquid level probes to the Automatic Tank Gauge. At
the Tank Sentinel console, the product level is converted into gross
volume by using information about the tank's shape which was
defined in the setup mode. Gross volume is then used to calculate
the tank's Net Volume, which is temperature compensated.

Net Volume is the equivalent volume of the product at 60

degrees Fahrenheit, or 15 degrees Celsius. This correction is
done using industry standard methods developed by the American
Petroleum Institute and other authorities. The net volume is a true
measure of the amount of product in the tank and is independent of
product temperature variation.

Temperature compensated volume conversions allows small leaks

to be detected. For example: 10,000 gallons of a typical gasoline
will increase 7 gallons in volume for every degree that the
temperature rises.

As stated previously, product level and temperature must be

measured to high resolution and accuracy. For example: the
TS-1000 can easily see changes of 0.0001 inch (100 millionths of an
inch) of product level, and 0.001 degrees Fahrenheit of product
temperature. It is this extreme sensitivity that makes it possible for
the Tank Sentinel to determine if a tank is leaking.

Volumetric leak tests are very sensitive and demanding. The Tank
Sentinel uses advanced statistical methods to determine the leak
rate and to verify the accuracy of each test. The leak test(s)

Page 4-2 TS-1000 USER'S GUIDE Tank Leak Testing

 TANK LEAK TESTING
LeakTest Estimate Report

continue until the programmed confidence level has been reached.

The exact details of these test methods are proprietary and are
copyright protected.

These statistical methods are used to generate a tank leak test

report at the end of each leak test. The leak report includes test
data, information about conditions in the tank, as well as a pass or
fail result for the particular test.

Leak Estimate Report The time required to perform a leak test will vary from site to site
depending on how the system is set up, the size or type of the tanks
connected, and the conditions within the tank (such as an unstable
product temperature due to a recent product delivery). Because of
the variable leak test times, a leak estimate report is available. This
report provides you with an estimate of the time requiredto complete
a tank leak test if it were started immediately.

NOTE It is recommended that you use the leak estimate report before
manually starting a leak test from the keypad to be sure there is
sufficient time to complete the test. The table contained in Appendix
D shows typical leak test times for various size tanks and various
thresholds.

See the TS-1000 Quick Reference Guide about how to print out a
Leak (test time) Estimate report.

Factors Affecting Leak Test Some of the statistical algorithms used in the TS-1000 software
Estimate Reports require a period of time to initialize (start). As a result, if the system
has been turned off (or if power is lost) the TS-1000 must re-initialize
these algorithms. Similarly, if you have entered the setup mode,
these algorithms must also be re-initialized. The leak test estimate
report will indicate somewhat extended test times to allow for any
software re-initialization.

TS-1000 USER'S GUIDE Tank Leak Testing Page 4-3

TANK LEAK TESTING
When to Conduct a Leak Test

When to Conduct a Leak You may have set up a schedule for automatic leak tests. In this
Test case, the system will automatically conduct a leak test on a daily,
weekly or monthly basis. Alternatively, if you did not set up a leak
test schedule, you may manually order leak tests at any time from
the console's keypad.

At a minium, the frequency of tank leak tests must be

conductedon a schedule that meets federal, state and local
codes and regulations.

NOTE INCON recommends that you run a tank leak test whenever a liquid
detecting point sensor alarms. INCON also recommends taking a
sample from the alarmed sensor's location for chemical analysis.
This is especially important when a discriminating BriteSensor
detects a hydrocarbon (product or vapor alarms). A hydrocarbon
alarm may be caused by motor oil runoff during heavy rains, or the
sensor may have actually detected a product leak from your tank.

CAUTION It is the tank owner's obligation to comply with the

procedures and reporting requirements of federal, state and local
regulations, which must be followed explicitly. Where they conflict
with this manual, follow the regulations.

Leak tests may be started during any idle period when no product is
being withdrawn or added to the tank (such as during non-business
hours).

NOTE It is important that leak tests be conducted when conditions in the

tank are stable and when the tank is full or nearly full in order to test
the integrity of the entire tank. Do not run a test on a tank which is
less than 50% full. Before you conduct a tank leak test: wait at
least 6 hours after product deliveries, and 2 hours after product
dispensing.

Page 4-4 TS-1000 USER'S GUIDE Tank Leak Testing

 TANK LEAK TESTING
How to Conduct a Leak Test, Leak Test lnterference

CAUTION Failure to wait the recommended delay periods after

A deliveries and withdrawals from the tank can cause: false test
results, false alarms (to remote sites), and a failure to detect leaks.

NOTE If a product is dispensed or added to the tank during a leak test, the
test will be disturbed and the results are invalid (false). Therefore,
it is important that you schedule or conduct your leak tests
during periods of time when the tank can be effectively taken
out of service.

How to Conduct a Manual To conduct a manual leak test, press the Test key from the
Leak Test console's keypad, input the tank number (or press 0 for all tanks),
and then press the enter key. Also, see the TS-1000 Quick
Reference Guide about how to start or cancel a tank Leak Test.

At the end of the leak test, the system will automatically print a leak
test report (if the REPORT TESTS is ENABLED from the SYSTEM
setup menu), or you may manually order a leak test report for the
last conducted tank leak test . The leak test report summarizes
-
the conditions in the tank during the test, records test data, and
indicates the test results.

Leak Test Interference Since volumetric tank leak tests are highly sensitive there are a
number of sources of possible interference. These interference
sources can affect leak test results. If you have difficulty with leak
tests, it is important that you determine if one of these sources of
interference is causing the problem.

Temperature Instability Temperature instability is the most important source of

interference in volumetric leak tests. When the temperature in
the tank is severely disturbed (i.e. during product deliveries) it is not
possible to calculate temperature compensated net volume
accurately. As a result, false alarms or failure to detect leaks may

TS-1000 USER'S GUIDE Tank Leak Testing Page 4-5

TANK LEAK TESTING
Leak Test Interference

Temperature Instability be seen. If you fail a leak test it is a good idea to examine the
temperature variation that was recorded during the test. If it is more
than a few tenths of a degree, you should retest the tank after the
temperature has stabilized.

Check Valves and A second source of interference in volumetric tank tests is leaking
Dispensing Lines check valves and similar sources. Product may leak into the tank
from the dispensing lines if the check valves leak or because of
thermal expansion in the product dispensing lines. The leak into the
tank will be recorded as a positive slope but will not be declared a
leak (see Interpreting the Results of a Leak Test about slope).

NOTE It is important to note, however, that a small flow of liquid into the
tank can hide the affect of a small leak in the tank. Therefore, if
you routinely see positive slopes of a magnitude similar to the
programmed leak threshold, you should attempt to identify the
source of the flow into the tank and remedy the condition.

It is also possible for product cooling in the dispensing lines to

cause the product to be siphoned out of a tank. This will
appear as a leak.

CAUTION Positive or negative slopes due to leaky check valves or

thermal expansion in dispensing lines, can mask real tank leaks.
Corrective action should be taken if positive slopes are observed on
Leak Test reports, and if check valve leaks are suspected.

Tank Cross-talk Tank cross-talk is another source of error in volumetric tank testing.
Under certain installation conditions, it is possible for changes in the
level in one tank to cause small changes in level in an adjacent tank.
This results from a change in the force being applied on the second
tank from the first tank. Although this is uncommon, it can be a
source of interference in volumetric tank testing.

Page 4-6 TS-1000 USER'S GUIDE Tank Leak Testing

TANK LEAK TESTING
Leak Test Interference, Interpreting the Results of a LeakTest

Tidal Action Tidal action is another source of interference. In coastal

communities where there is some tidal affect on the ground water
levels, the changing pressure due to rising and falling groundwater
can cause tank deformation. This will be seen as changes in level
and could result in an erroneous leak test.

Tank Deformation Tank deformation is also a source of interference in volumetric tank

testing. After the level in a tank has been changed dramatically
(such as when a product delivery occurs), the tank will change
shape. This could result in false leak test results.

Evaporation Evaporation can be a particularly troublesome source of interference

in leak tests. In gasoline storage tanks, product may evaporate into
the space above the liquid, causing reductions in the liquid level.
This reduction in liquid level will look exactly like a leak.

The rate of evaporative loss is related to many factors. Among these

are: the rate of dispensing, temperature, seasonal variations in
product composition, liquid level, size of the tank, tank vent
configuration, and presence of stage II vapor recovery.

To minimize the effects of evaporation on leak tests, be sure not to

start test for several hours after dispensing. In tanks where little
product has been dispensed or where stage II vapor recovery is
present, a two-hour waiting period will generally be adequate.
Active tanks without stage IIvapor recovery may require longer
stabilization periods.

Interpreting the The TS-1000 Tank Sentinel produces a very complete leak test
Results of a Leak Test report at the end of each test. It contains a variety of information
allowing the user to determine if the tank is leaking and to make
judgments about the validity of a particular test.

 TANK LEAK TESTING

high and slope low values are very close together then these
sources of interference have not been a significant factor in the test.

Beginning and Ending You will note that the body of the leak test report includes many
Conditions within the pieces of information about the conditions at the beginning and the
Tank end of the test. These are provided to help you identify potential
sources of interference which may have invalidated the test. Pay
particular attention to the last delivery information.

Product Deliveries As you know, a product delivery into the tank causes severe
instability (temperature and wave action) in the tank for a period of
time. It is important that leak tests not be run for a period of at least
six hours after a delivery. If you find that a leak test has started
within that period, it should be considered invalid.

Tank Temperature You should also pay particular attention to the starting and ending
temperature in the tank. Large changes in temperature (more than
about 0.1 degree per hour), indicate that the tank is thermally
unstable which may cause leak tests to fail.

Water Levels Similarly, note the starting and ending water levels. In normal tests
these should be exactly the same. Changes in water level,
particularly increases, may be indicative of problem tests.

What to do When You will occasionally fail leak tests. This is a normal condition and a
You Fail a Leak Test single failed leak test should not be cause for great alarm. Remem-
ber, if the confidence level of the test is 99%, there is a 1%chance
that the system will give you the wrong answer.

Do not excavate and repair a tank solely on the basis of a single

failed leak test.

THE MEMORY BACKUP E A T E R Y

INTRODUCTION The console's 120 VAC line power is rectified (changed) into low
voltage DC and holds your system's setup configuration in memory.
The TS-1000 is provided with a 3 volt memory backup batterywhich
holds your system's setup program in memory when 120 VAC
power outages occur. The exact life of the backup battery can
range from 2 to 10 years -depending on the total duration of all
power outages. The battery will dependably hold your systems
setup in memory only if the battery voltage is 2.8 volts DC or greater.
Therefore, you must routinely check the backup batteries voltage.

CAUTION Failing to replace the memory backup battery when the

A

battery voltage is low may result in a loss of your system's setup
program in memory - should a power loss occur.

Testing and replacing the backup battery should be done with both
Battery the 120 VAC line power supply, and the console's onloff switch
(SW1) in the ON position. You will need a Digital Voltmeter to test
the backup battery.

WARNING Be careful when working within the console as 120 VAC

Line voltage is present which could kill or injure you. Make sure all
terminal safety cover guards are in place before you start.

Locate the memory backup battery (01) on the console's Main

Processor Unit (MPU) PC Board. Reference Figure 5.3 TS-1000

THE MEMORY BACKUP BATTERY

When to Replace the Memory Replace the system's memory backup battery if the measured
Backup Battery voltage is less than 2.8 VDC.

Replacement Battery type The 3 volt Lithium Battery replacement part number is: BR2032 3V
(INCON PN: 390-0004).

Removing the Battery Carefully /iff the battery up no more than 118 of an inch at the left
side (open battery clip side). Pry the battery out with a non-metallic
flat bladed screwdriver, or use a thin wooden dowel that has been
shaped like a flat bladed screwdriver.

NOTE If you don't have a good replacement battery on hand then reinstall
the old battery and order a new battery. Install the new tested
battery as soon as possible and then discard the old battery.

Installing the Battery Install a good tested battery with the (t)pole of the battery up and
facing the 0 1 battery holder's (t)clip.

CAUTION Be careful not to deform or bend the B1 battery holder's

(t)clip. Pulling up more than an 118 of an inch could bend the clip
and prevent it from making contact with the battery. The system's

ALARMS & ERROR MESSAGES 6.1

ALARM AND ERROR The following Alarm Error Messages are produced by the
MESSAGES TS-1000 console. The various Printed and (DISPLAYED) alarm
error messages are listed in this section. When required, a
concise explanation and probable cause(s) follows each alarm
error message.

Alarms listed in this section are organized into three groups. They
are:
1) Programmed Alarms (configured from the setup mode)
2) System Alarms (global -affecting the entire system), and
3) System Failure Alarms (specific - affecting a specitic
operation or portion of the system).

NOTE To help you identify where the alarm occurred, the displayed
messages and printed reports will automatically include the tank
number - N, or channel number - N. An asterisk (*) indicates the
alarms and error messages which may have been renamed with
aliases for easier identification on alarm displays and reports.

Programmed Alarms Tank RelafedAlarm and Error Messages:

Leak -
(LEAK TANK NO. N) alarm indicates a leak has occurred
during the after business hours Sentinel mode. The leak is
greater than the programmed Leak Limit for your site.
Probable cause: A theft occurred if the Theft Limit is set too high,
a leak actually occurred, or the Sentinel mode start and end time
is incorrect (reprogram). See SYSTEM - LIMITS submenu.

Theft -
(THEFT TANK NO. N) alarm indicates a product theft occurred
during the after business hours Sentinel mode.
Probable cause: A product theft occurred, or the Sentinel mode

High Limit (HIGH LIM) alarm indicates the product level has risen above the
HlGH LIMIT set-point for TANK NO. N. The high limit alarm is also
referred to as Overfill on the tank Alarm Status and Alarm History
reports. If the set-point is below the HlGH HlGH limit set-point it may
actually indicate the tank is full instead of overfilled. See the TANKS
- TANK N submenu.

Low Limit (LOW LIM) alarm indicates the product volume has dropped below
the LOW LIMIT set-point for TANK NO. N. The low limit alarm may
indicate that the product level is very low and the pumps may run dry
or (if the set-point is at a higher level than the LOW LOW limit) it may
indicate a low product - reorder alert. See the TANKS -TANK N
submenu.

High High (HIGH HIGH) alarm indicates the product volume has risen above
the HlGH HlGH limit set-point for TANK NO. N. If the set-point is
below the HlGH LIM set-point it may actually indicate the tank is full
instead of overfilled. See the TANKS -TANK N submenu.

Low Low (LOW LOW) alarm indicates the product level has dropped below
the LOW LOW set-point for TANK NO. N. The low limit alarm may
indicate that the product level is very low and the pumps may run dry
or (if the set-point is at a higher level than the LOW LIMIT) it may
indicate a low product - reorder alert. See the TANKS -TANK N
submenu.

Water Limit (HIGH WAT) alarms indicates the water level has risen above the
high WATER LIM set-point in TANK NO. N. The lower float on the
probe is the water float and is installed only in tanks with petroleum

Programmed Alarms: SENSOR Channel Input Related Alarms

Sump Ful N (*) (SUMP FUL N) alarms indicate a TSP-DDS or TSP-DTS

BriteSensor on input channel number N, has detected a sump full
condition. If the sump is full with water then a liquid hydrocarbon
(which may float on water) cannot be detected until the sump water
level is lowered. Refer to the setup SENSORS -SENSOR N
submenu for the type of sensor and its input channel/location.

Dry Well N (*) (DRY WELL N) alarms indicate a TSP-MWS BriteSensor on input
channel number N, has detected a dry monitoring well. The
monitoring well sensor cannot detect the presence of a liquid
hydrocarbon unless the sensor is submerged in ground water - in
this case the sensor is ineffective. Referto the setup SENSORS -
SENSOR N submenu for the sensor's input channelllocation.

High Bri N (*) (HIGH BRI) alarms indicates a TSP-HIS BriteSensor on input
channel number N, has detected a high brine level . A liquid has
leaked into the hydrostatic brine filled interstitial space where the
brine level should be relatively stable. The leak is either from the
outside (high ground water level is leaking through the outer tank
walllfitiing) or from the inner product tank. Review the ALARM list -
if there is also a PRODUCT N alarm for this input channel, then the
inner tank is leaking. Refer to the setup SENSORS - SENSOR N
submenu for the sensor's input channel/location.

Low Bri N (*) (LOW BRI) alarms indicates a TSP-HIS BriteSensor on input
channel number N, has detected a low brine level . Liquid has
leaked out of the brine filled interstitial where the brine level should
be relatively stable. The interstitial brine is either leaking through the
outer tank wall to the outside, or into the inner tank. If the brine is
leaking into the inner product tank, then you might see a rising water
reading (on 2 float probes), and rising level reading on leak test.
Refer to the setup SENSORS - SENSOR N submenu for the
sensors input channel/location, and schedule tank maintenance.
