Product Overview

The INCON TS-1001 / 2001 /504 / 508 / 750 Tank Sentinel® consoles are complete leak detectionand inventory monitoring systems. The TS-750 / 1001 / 2001 models run in-tank leak tests with exceptionally high accuracy. The TS-504 / 508 models are designed for monitoring andcontrolling liquid levels in aboveground storage tanks.The tests meet or exceed all current EPA standards.

A broad range of liquid products can be leak-tested and inventory-monitored (or gauged)simultaneously in many storage tanks.Inventory monitoring is done with a veryspecial sensor called a Liquid Level Probethat has a product float. With petroleumproducts, water floats are used. When aprogrammed limit is reached, then a tank-related alarm will be produced at the consolefor that specific tank.

Additionally, these consoles can monitor a wide variety of leak detection sensors whichare installed within – the walls of double-walled tanks (DW or DWTs), containment sumps,dispenser pans, and groundwater or vapor monitoring wells near USTs. Leak detectionsensors produce alarms when exposed to liquids such as product. Some produce alarmsat various liquid levels, or when water is absent (as with a ground water monitoring wellsensors), or when they are exposed to hydrocarbon vapors (as with a vapor sensor).

Of the many types of leak detection sensors that are available from INCON, these can bedivided into two basic types — one is called a Standard Sensor and the other is called aBriteSensor™.

BriteSensors™ are sensors with built-in intelligence. Within them is a small computer thatuses digital data to communicate with the system console. The data sent identifies thesensor-type and status of each alarm that it can detect. Some BriteSensors can tell thedifference (discriminate) between water and a hydrocarbon (product) and will producedifferent alarm-codes for each of these.

On the other hand, Standard Sensors do not use digital data. Instead, the Standard Sensoroperates like an ON–OFF switch that’s closed when no liquid is present – or – open whena liquid is detected. When a liquid is detected, the loss of signal produces a standardsensor alarm at the console.

Alarms and Warnings –Alarms and warnings are designed to alert you / make you aware of a problem when itoccurs so you can take appropriate corrective action. System hardware fail warnings, tankrelated alarms, leak detection sensor alarms, and line leak alarms can be custom-programmed to do many things. These events that require programming are denoted bya (p) below:– cause the red Alarm light or yellow Warning light to flash (standard)– activate / sound the console annunciator alarm horn (p)– activate output relay(s) / optional external alarm device (p)– print alarm reports automatically at the report printer (p)– send reports to remote location(s) – optional TS-FM2 fax/data modem req’d (p)

Tank Sentinel® Features (CONTINUED... )

• All consoles can communicate with remote computers for off-site notification, management,and dispatch requests with the optional data or fax modem.

• Access to the Tank Sentinel console door is key-locked for security, and the database /setup-configuration program mode can be protected by security passwords to protectthe operation and function of the tank gauge.

• The Tank Sentinel systems can be equipped with many optional accessories orprograms such as: Tank Overfill Alarm and Acknowledge units, SCALD (Statistical andContinuous Automatic tank Leak Detection testing).

• TS-1001/2001 consoles can be upgraded with a unique input code after receipt of apurchase order and the console serial number. For instance, a 2 tank TS-1001 can beupgraded to 4 tanks, or SCALD upgrade added either locally on-site, or remotely (remoteupgrade is possible with the optional data / fax-modem).

• All consoles can monitor product lines for leaks when the INCON TS-LLDI (Line LeakDetector) Interface is used. Many line reports can be produced from the collected data,such as the versatile Regulatory Report.

• All models can be programmed to use either: 1) Metric International System of Units– SI Units ( litres = liters / l / L, centimeters / cm / CM, Celsius / °C / C ) or 2) USEnglish System of Units ( gallons / GAL / G, inches / IN, Fahrenheit / °F / F ).Throughout this manual, the volume length and temperature values are shown in USUnits.

Safety

Intrinsically safe circuits for liquid level probes, and leak detection sensors mounted in:Class I, Division 1, Group D hazardous locations.

Approvals

All Tank Sentinel models are UL and cUL Listed 6L79 as Liquid Level Gauge / LeakDetection Systems. Third party approved leak detection — Pd (probability of detection) =99.2 % for 0.1 or 0.2 gph leak tests (0.1 = precision test, 0.2 is the monthly regulatorycompliance test)

Console – Basic Operation Page 1 - 1 1

1 Console – Basic Operation

General

Once the Tank Sentinel console has been installed, programmed, and tested most of yourinteraction with the system is through the keypad, display and printer. All of the basicfeatures of the system are available through these input / output devices.

Operating Modes

There are three operating modes of the Tank Sentinel console, these are:the RUN mode, the SENTINEL mode, and the SETUP programming mode.

1) The RUN mode is the normal operating mode when product dispensing is expected (thesite is open for business). Inventory levels and deliveries are monitored and all leakdetection sensors are active during this time.

2) The SENTINEL mode is the after-hours watch mode when dispensing is not expected,and the site is not open for business. Deliveries and unauthorized dispensing (thefts)are monitored, and coarse leak tests or compliance leak tests run during this time (afternormal business hours). The start and stop time of the sentinel mode must bescheduled in the setup programming mode.

3) The SETUP programming mode is where automatic operation, configuration, alarm-limits, and the overall system operation is defined and set. This mode can bepassword protected — this is highly recommended to protect the system-operationfrom unintentional changes or acts of vandalism. Inventory levels, delivery detection,and all leak detection sensors are not active during this mode.

WARNING INCON does not recommend changing the system-setup becauseit is possible to alter the system and make it nonfunctional, unable to detectleaks, or be out of compliance with EPA rules and regulations.

Let your authorized INCON service-provider do the setup programming – look at the inside of thefront cover for contact name(s) and phone number(s).

Acknowledging Alarms Page 2 - 1 2

2 Acknowledging Alarms

Purpose of Audio / Visual Alarms

Audio / Visual alarm annunciators are designed to alert you of a problem so appropriate

and immediate corrective action can be taken. An overview of alarms and indications

will proceed the main topic of this chapter — Acknowledging Alarms. Once you are familiar

with these you can go directly to the Acknowledging Alarms topic.

Audio Alarm Annunciator (& Output Relays)

The Alarm annunciator horn and relay outputs #1 and # 2 are output devices that are

located within the console. Output devices are controlled (switched on / off) by one or more

output groups. One or more warnings / limits / alarms are programmed to an Output

Group, which control the output devices (see below).

The annunciator horn can be programmed to produce a continuous (solid) tone, or a

modulated (beeping) tone. Certain warning or alarm conditions can use a unique tone to

signal when these events have occurred.

Optionally, external alarm devices can be activated when they are wired to the console

alarm-relay-output # 1 or # 2.

These three output devices can also be programmed to silence or deactivate when a

certain time-out value is reached. This alarm time-out feature is used (programmed) when

an Alarm Acknowledge password is required before an alarm can be silenced. See Chapter

1 about how to use the ACK SHIFT key.

Visual Alarm Indications

The console has 4 visual output devices:

1) Light green, 80 character display

2) Yellow warning light (Status Row)

3) Red alarm light (Status Row)

4) Printer reports – printout if enabled / programmed

and if the printer has paper

The console display will show a WARNING message under the word SYSTEM when a

system fault occurs. An ALARM message will appear under one of the TANK or SENSOR

or LINE columns when one of those alarms happen.

The status row will indicate System faults by causing the yellow WARNING light to flash

/ turn-on. In addition, the ALARM light will flash when an alarm is detected. (See Status

Row indicators below.)

Visual warnings and alarms act independently from the custom-programmed audio or

printed alarms. The Status Row Indicator lights have 3 different states, they are:

1.) > Flashing < until active, cleared, or transient faults are acknowledged, then

2.) On-steady (solid) once active warnings or alarms are acknowledged, then

3.) Off after all active faults have cleared and have been acknowledged

Depending on how the system was programmed, alarms may, or may not activate the audio

alarm horn when a warning or alarm occurs. Flashing Warning or Alarm lights indicate

that at least one or more new alarms exist since the last time that alarms were

acknowledged. Routinely check the Status Row indicators and printed reports for new

alarms.

Alarm Types

System Warnings

Are alarms that are caused by equipment failures or software malfunctions. These

could also be transient, instantaneous failures or warnings of impending failures.

Do not ignore system warnings!

See Chapter 5 for Site Policy &

SYSTEM warnings in TABLE 5 - 1.

Tank Alarms

Occur when a tank-related programmed limit is

reached. See Chapter 5 about Site Policy &

about TANK alarms (in TABLE 5 - 1).

Sensor Alarms

Leak Detection Sensors (Standard or

BriteSensor) or Aux. Input #1 or #2, or Solid

State Input Modules produce sensor alarms.

In Table 2.1 document the type, location, input-

channel, and the output-group name for each

sensor (sensor alarm). Standard sensors

produce only one alarm... BriteSensors can

produce two or more alarms. See Chapter 5 for

Site Policy & SENSOR alarms (TABLE 5 - 1).

Line Alarms

The INCON TS-LLD Line Leak Detectors can be interfaced to the system console

where line leak alarms and line leak detector status is monitored. See Chapter 5 about

Site Policy and about LINE alarms (shown in TABLE 5 - 1).

Alarm Status

An alarm or system warning can be either:

• Transient an instantaneous fault that clears almost immediately

• Cleared a previously active fault that no longer exists

• Active a fault that exists when it was displayed or printed

• Acknowledged a fault that was displayed or printed, and was acknowledged by

pressing the ACK SHIFT key. A grace period may also be started by pressing the

ACK SHIFT key.

Acknowledge Password

For a variety of reasons, some sites may be programmed with a special Alarm

Acknowledge Password. This code must be entered correctly at the keypad before an

alarm can be acknowledged / silenced.

Acknowledging Alarms / Silencing Alarms

• Status row lights are

flashing... To view the cause

of the alarm....

Press the menu key under

the column(s) that has the

WARNING or ALARM

display, to show the:

Type of Alarm, the Alarm Status, the Date and Time when it happened, and

the Cause / Location / Name of the Alarm (Alarms are displayed in order).

The Alarm key can also be used to select and display:

System, Tank, Sensor, Line, or All alarms. Active, Cleared, or a History of

alarms can be displayed or printed when this method is used.

• Use the UP or DOWN key to display other warnings or alarms.

• Record / Log Alarms and Warnings per the procedures at your site. This is

especially important when the printer is out of paper (a NO PAPER message replaces

the WARNING display – under the system column – every 2 or 3 seconds).

• Press the ACK SHIFT key to acknowledge the existence of the alarm, which causes

the warning or alarm light to stop flashing (see Visual Alarms & Warnings page 2 - 1).

All transient or cleared alarms will disappear after acknowledged.

Site Policy — Reference Chapter 5 about Acknowledging Alarms.

Starting a Grace Period

Certain alarms (such as high water or low product levels in a tank) are frequently grouped

together and are used to prevent dispensing on alarm. When one of these alarms is active,

a control output relay in the optional TS-ROM BriteBox, or TS-IEM module (2001/508 only)

will activate and turn off the pump dispense circuit.

The TS-ROM / output relay can be programmed with an alarm-override value or grace

period that allows for a return to normal operation at least temporarily. The grace period

is started whenever an alarm is acknowledged (ACK SHIFT key is pressed), and continues

until the grace-period time has expired.

Site Policy — Reference Chapter 5 about Allowing Grace Periods.

Reports Overview

Reports may be printed or fax’d manually from the keypad, or may be programmed to printor fax on a schedule or automatically when certain events occur such as an alarm. Non-alarm reports also provide useful information to help run the business (examples of theseare: Inventory, Delivery, Usage, passed Leak Tests, Sensor, Alarm, Setup, CPM, CVS,DIM or Regulatory reports). Leak Test and Regulatory reports are documented proof ofcompliance and functional operation.Alarm reports also provide hard copy documentation concerning system faults, tank –sensor – line leak detector faults or detected leaks (see Chapter 2 about Alarms andWarnings, and Chapter 4 about Leak Testing).

Alarm Reports printout automatically when they happen (the default setup enablesautomatic printing for ALARMS, LEAKS, SCALD, LINES, or Generator runs)

Typical Information Shown On Reports

REPORT HEADER is printed first and shows the sitelocation data... site name, address, and number

REPORT DATE & TIME when the report was printed

REPORT NAME is shown next and identifies the typeof report that it is

ALARM DATE & TIME is also shown in the body of thereport for each alarm

REPORT BODY follows the report name and shows theunique data for that type of report. For example,delivery data is shown on Delivery Reports, and tanksetup data is shown on Tank Setup Reports.

At left, several alarms occurred at the same time. Anautomatic alarm report printed several hours later aftera new roll of printer paper was installed.

Note that the print date and alarm dates are differentand that a PRINTER OUT OF PAPER alarm messageis included, which is WHY the alarms did not print outimmediately.

Tank Leak Test Estimate REPORT

Shows the estimated amount of time to complete a Standard/ Static Tank Leak Test if started immediately. Estimatesare affected by the size and type of tank, and conditionswithin the tank (such as changing product temperaturebecause of a recent delivery, or surface ripples / disturbancesfrom a recent dispense or delivery). It also gives the timeremaining for a test if this is run during that test.

Dispensing or deliveries will affect leak tests ...falseresults — increase, fail / leaks — will be produced.

Standard (Static) Tank Leak Test REPORT

The data shown on the standard leak test report is:

1) Date and time that the report was produced (this canbe different from the test End Time and Date.

2) Tank name, number, and volume capacity (GAL).Then the Leak Test Precision & Threshold is shown(0.1 gph Annual Precision test — the default is the 0.2gph monthly compliance test).

3) Test Confidence Level (here @ 99%... there is still a1 % chance that the results are not accurate).

4) The test-START Time and Date

5) The Gross Capacity / percent full value in the tank

6) BEGIN values @ start of test (ie. GROSS and NET)

7) The test-END (finish) Time and Date, and

8) The values @ END of the test (ie. TEMP and WATER)

9) Hourly data (time, temperature, & net volume)

10) Slope is the (+/–) rate of change in product volume. Itis the calculated leak rate and is used to determine theTest Result. Slope is affected by leaks, and by manyother sources of interference.

11) Slope Low and High is the amount of disturbance to theleak test from temperature changes. Values close to eachother indicate that thermal expansion or contraction wasnot a cause of interference. Values that are far apart willcause an increase or indeterminate test result.

12) Test Results are either: Increase Passed Failed orIndeterminate (if tests run 8 hours without a definiteresult). See Chapter 4 about leak testing.

Slope & Leak Test Results

See the diagram to the left and the Leak Threshold value,Slope value, and the Test Result line on Tank Leak TestReports. Slopes more negative than the threshold valueare reported as Failed, and those positive are reported asIncrease.

SCALD Leak Test REPORT

SCALD is an acronym for Statistical Continuous AutomaticLeak Detection. This test is typically used at sites thatdispense 24 hours a day, where leak testing can only bedone between dispenses. It runs a 0.2 gph Monthly RegulatoryCompliance Test. The information that is shown on theSCALD leak test report is:

1) Date and time is the time-stamp when the report wasproduced (may not necessarily agree with the testfinished time and date unless the report was printedexactly when the test finished)

2) Tank name, Volume capacity (GAL) and Product name

3) Leak Test is the type of SCALD leak test (defult)

4) Leak Threashold is calculated by dividing the Leak testsetting by 2.

5) Interval is a diagnostic value used by technicians

6) Volume Qualify is the minimum percent required in thetank for SCALD tank leak tests (regulations in someareas may require a minimum 50 % full tank, or someother percent full)

7) Test Started is the time and date when the SCALD leaktest started

8) Status is a diagnostic value used by technicians

9) Test Ended is the time and date when the SCALD tankleak test finished

10) Slope is the (+/–) rate of change in product volume. It isthe calculated leak rate and is used to determine the TestResult. Slope is affected by leaks, and by many othersources of interference. See Chapter 4 for moreinformation about this. Also see Slope and Leak TestResults on the proceeding page...

4 Leak Testing

All INCON Tank Sentinel models meet (or exceed) the requirements of the U.S.Environment Protection Agency (EPA/530/UST-90/006 test protocol) for Automatic TankGauging Systems (ATGS) for Monthly Monitoring for 0.2 gal/hr leaks of UndergroundStorage Tanks. The system(s) also meet (or exceed) the requirements for Annual TankTightness Testing for 0.1 gal/hr leaks of the National Work Group on Leak DetectionEvaluations (NWGLDE). Third Party Testing Laboratory test results (for standard [static]tank leak tests) are also available upon request.

Overview

The tank gauge can be programmed to run automatic tank or line leak tests on a regularschedule (either daily, weekly or monthly basis). In addition, leak tests can be startedmanually from the console keypad – by using the TEST key.

To obtain valid results, leak tests should be started when conditions in the tank or line arestable and will remain stable throughout the test (such as during non-business hours). Atest will not and can not pass when disturbed. Deliveries and dispenses will causethermal instability or product turbulence, which will interfere with and disturb a tank leaktest. These disturbances may cause the test to report a failure, or an increase result, orcause the test to run for 8 hours and report an indeterminate test result. Wait at least 6hours after a product delivery, and 2 hours after product dispensing stops beforestarting Tank Leak Tests.

Make sure there is enough time to run the test without interruption – print out a test EstimateReport before running a tank test. Generally tank tests take about 4 to 5 hours to finish(the exact time required depends on the size of the tank, volume in the tank, and the producttemperature).

The best time to test the tank integrity (leak test) is when it is full or nearly full. Regulatoryrequirements in some areas insist on having a certain percentage in the tank before a testcan be considered valid and in compliance. Try to run tests on tanks that are 50% full orgreater. SCALD leak tests can be programmed to run only when tank levels are at or abovea set value ( or percent full to qualify ).

Tank Leak Tests – Type and Frequency

Two standard leak tests can be started from the keypad, they are the 0.2 gph and the 0.1gph test. Federal, State and local codes and regulatory agencies specify how often to runthese tests. Consult and comply with these rules and regulations.

CAUTION It is the tank owner’s obligation to comply with the procedures and thereporting requirements of federal, state and local regulations. Your are legally bound tofollow these explicitly. Where they conflict with this manual, follow the regulations.

Requirements ✎ ✓

Before Starting a Standard (static) Tank Leak Test

❐ Printout a leak test Estimate Report (Key strokes: REPORT — TEST — M1 ).

❐ Is there enough quiet time to finish the test ? (of no product dispensing).(Note: a 10,000 gallon tank requires about 5 or 6 hours to finish)

❐ Wait at least 6 hours after a product delivery – or – 2 hours after a product dispense(Active tanks without Stage II vapor recovery may require longer stabilization periods).

INCON does not recommend running both Line & Tank Leak Tests at the same time.

When to Run Tank Leak Tests

1) To comply with Federal, State, and local Regulatory Agency requirements.

2) To comply with the policy and procedures at your site.

3) Whenever a leak detection sensor alarms. This is especially important when adiscriminating BriteSensor detects a liquid / vapor hydrocarbon (product)... a failed leaktest and BriteSensor product alarm indicates a tank or product-line leak.

Standard / product alarms may be caused by motor oil runoff during heavy rains, or becausea BriteSensor has actually detected a product leak from a tank. Take a sample from thearea for chemical analysis.

Starting Tank Leak Tests:

Follow the steps below:

Tank Leak Test Results

Leak test results are either increase, passed, failed, or indeterminate (see TankLeak Test Reports, Slope & Leak Test Results in Chapter 3 of this manual).

Reasons Why Tank Leak Tests Fail:

• Temperature instability – (temperature variations) of the product within the tank after adelivery is the most important and most common source of interference and failed leaktests / false alarms (a failure to detect real leaks can also result).

• Temperature variation – of product within the tank (look at the hourly temperature dataon the leak test report and retest if the variation is more than a few tenths of a degree –see Chapter 3).

SELECT TANK TO START 0.N TEST (MORE)ALL TANKS (N = 0.1 or 0.2 gph Tank Test)



Reasons Why Tank Leak Tests Fail (Continued... )

• Large changes in product temperature (from start to end of the test).

• Water Level changes (from start to end of the test).

• Evaporation and loss of product – through the vent stack – will look exactly like a leak.Evaporation can be a problem during high seasonal temperatures and/or high winds, &when liquid level exposes the greatest surface area for evaporation (half full tanks areworse). Seasonal variations in product composition, size of the tank (larger is worse), andtank vent configuration are also evaporation factors.

• Tank Deformation (the tank changes shape after a large product delivery)

• Tidal Action in coastal communities may affect groundwater level and is anothersource of tank deformation (certain times of the day – tide change inconsistently).

• Tank Cross-Talk – level changes in one tank causes a level change in adjacenttank or compartment.

• Product Dispensing during a test

• Actual Tank Leaks

When a Leak Test Fails

Leak tests do occasionally fail. A single failed leak test should not be a cause for greatalarm – don’t panic. Remember, if the confidence level of the test is 99%, there is a 1%chance that the system will give a false answer.

Don’t excavate / repair a tank because of a single failed leak test. Reference the policyand procedures at you site / Chapter 5.

If you fail a leak test, review the leak test report to determine if there is an obvioussource of interference with the test (see the Causes of Leak Test Failures, and Chapter4 for an example of a Tank Leak Test Report). If such a source of interference is identified,retest the tank as soon as possible. (Retest the tank to validate or invalidate the firsttest result if no source of interference can be identified. If necessary, run several tests.)

If repeated tests indicate a leak and no obvious source of interference is found thenimmediately have the tank precision / pressure tested. If the precision test confirmsthe presence of a leak then you (the tank owner) must take corrective action inaccordance with federal, state and local regulations.

WARNING You (the tank owner) are legally obligated to comply with the reporting andprocedure requirements of federal, state and local regulations. These must be followedexplicitly. Serious legal, health and safety hazards could result from not taking immediateand proper action. Where the codes and regulations conflict with this manual — follow theregulations.

Reference TABLE 5 - 2 for a blank Test Schedule that you can copy anduse for Tanks, Lines, etc..

TS-LLD Line Leak Tests:

Type and Frequency

Two line leak tests can be started from the keypad, they are the 0.2 gph and the 0.1 gphtest. Some jurisdictions recommend that a 0.1 gph annual precision line leak test be runyearly. (The 0.2 gph test runs automatically on a daily basis. The coarse 3 gph line testruns automatically after every dispense). State and local regulations may require morefrequent tests and inspections. Make sure your site personnel are aware of all of theissues and requirements for compliance with these regulations.

CAUTION It is the tank owner’s obligation to comply with the procedures and thereporting requirements of federal, state and local regulations. Your are legally bound tofollow these explicitly. Where they conflict with this manual, follow the regulations.

Requirements ✎ ✓

Before Starting a Line Leak Test:

❐ Create adequate quiet time: Stop dispensing / prevent dispensing for the test(bag or tape poly over dispenser & dispense lever). See test requirements below:

❐ 0.1 gph precision test normally needs 4 hours of quiet time where nodispensing occurs before the test is started and takes 13 minutes to finish

❐ 0.2 gph test needs 13 minutes to 4 hours of quiet time to finish

When to Run Line Leak Tests

1) To comply with Federal, State, and local Regulatory Agency requirements.

2) To comply with the policy and procedures at your site.

3) When a leak detection sensor alarms – per policy and procedures at your site.

NOTE

Starting Line Leak Tests

When a Line Leak Test Fails / Line Leak is Detected

The TS-LLD line leak detection system disables the Submerged Turbine Pump (dispensingstops / is not allowed), the red Alarm light is flashed, and a flashing ALARM is displayedunder the LINE column, and an alarm report will printout. Automatic testing and reportingis possible when one or more INCON TS-LLD line leak detectors are interfaced to the tankgauge by the TS-LLDI interface.

CAUTION Don’t excavate / repair a line because of a single failed leak test.Confirm the presence of a leak before attempting any repairs !

Leak tests occasionally fail when no leaks actually exist because of: product lineinstability, thermal contractions within the line, or because of a pump / vapor recoverysystem malfunction. Air trapped within the line may also cause false leak alarms (this isespecially true after new installations / maintenance / service).



...choices are the 0.1 gph or 0.2 gph leak tests:

3) Choose the Line # (press a menu key below)

Steps to take When a Line Leak is Detected:

Reference the policy and procedures at you site / Chapter 5.

1) Identify what type of leak was detected

2) Stop / Prevent dispensing (bag or tape poly over dispenser & dispense lever).

3) Inspect the piping system, dispenser, fittings, and hoses for obvious leaks. Openthe dispenser enclosure, and inspect the fittings and fuel filter for leaks (this isespecially important if maintenance or service was done recently).

4) If no leaks are found during inspection, then start another leak test to verifythe previous failure.

5) If a leak is found, or if the second line leak test also fails, then:

a) Shut off all power to the affected pump and dispenser

b) Take corrective action in accordance with local, State, and Federal regulations

c) Contact the local inspection agency, and follow all procedures andinstructions as required by State Laws and Regulations

WARNING When a line leak is detected, it is the station owner’s obligation to contactthe local inspection agency and comply with all of the reporting and procedure requirementsof local / State / Federal Laws and Regulations. These must be followed explicitly. Seriouslegal, health and safety hazards could result from not taking the proper action. Where thecodes and regulations conflict with this manual, follow the regulations.

• External Cleaning

Use a soft cloth, that’s moistened in a solution of mild detergent, to clean the outersurfaces of the console.

• Replacing the Printer Paper Roll

Replace the paper roll when colored stripesappear at the outer edges of the paper, orwhen a PAPER OUT warning is flashed atthe console display...Use INCON part number TS-TP2— 2 inch roll of thermal printer paper

1) Install the roll as shown to the right2) Press the paper feed button to advance the

paper through the printer mechanism3) Feed the paper through the output slot when

closing the printer bezel and keep a slighttension on the paper while lowering the printerbezel to its normal position. Make sure thatthe paper is not pinched between the bezel (cover) and the enclosure.

If you are installing a new roll after a PAPER OUT message is displayed, the unit willprint any reports that have been stored in memory. It will attempt to do thisimmediately after paper is fed through the printer.

• Lubricate Printer:

Apply a dab of lubricant using a cotton swab to the printer shaft at the front of theprinter where the head moves across left and right — every year.

Routine Maintainance continued on the next page ...

• Replacing Fuses, Memory-backup Battery, & Interior Cleaning:

Let your Certified Tank Sentinel service provider do this work for you !

Fuse Replacement InstructionsSee INCON document 000-0214 for Fuse Replacement Instructions.

WARNING High Voltage(s) exist within the Tank Sentinel Console which couldcause electrical shocks, injury, or death if all power is not turned off before workinginside the console.

CAUTION Avoid electrical shocks — turned off all external power wiring tothe console before Replacing any Fuse !

Memory-backup Battery:See INCON document 000-0210 for Instructions about testing and replacing thebattery.

CAUTION Avoid loosing the setup program — Replace the Memory-backup Battery with the Tank Sentinel Console power on !

The Life Expectancy of the 3 Volt DC memory-backup battery can range from2 to 10 years, depending on the total number and length of all power outages(3.2 to 2.8 VDC is okay). Check the battery voltage two years afterinstallation and thereafter, on a yearly basis. If battery voltage is too low,the system will lose all programmed setup memory “configuration” when thepower is lost or turned off.

Internal Cleaning:Vacuum the interior of the console with nonmetallic brush – every year.

DWT An abbreviation for a Double Wall Tank.

EPROM An abbreviation for: Electrically Programmed Read Only Memory computer chip.

F An abbreviation for the Fahrenheit temperature scale.

FLOAT One or two floats are installed on liquid level PROBEs. All floats are magnetized so the

float position can be determined exactly along the length of the probe. Floats are designed to

float above products or below specific products but above water Two floats are used in

petroleum and similar applications where the product is both lighter than water and does not

mix with water (is immiscible / insoluble). For these applications, a water-interface-float is

installed under the product float and is designed to float on water (in the region where the

water and product meet). The water volume is calculated and is subtracted from other various

calculations such as gross. A stainless steel float is used with special products and chemicals.

GRACE PERIOD The programmed time where normal operation will resume after an alarm is

ACKnowledged.

GROSS The product-volume within a tank and is a calculated from the LEVEL measurement of

the probe (less water-volume). Gross product volume value is not temperature compensated,

and therefore, will fluctuate with the product temperature because of thermal expansion /

contractions. Product temperature equalizes / stabilizes several hours after a delivery in

underground storage tanks (USTs). After a delivery, wait six hours before manually starting

a leak test. The gross volume value is important in situations where the product is both lighter

than and does not mix with water (is immiscible / insoluble).

HERTZ The alternating current (AC) frequency in cycles per second.

HIGH BRINE An alarm from a special TSP-HIS leak detection sensor. This sensor monitors

the brine for changes in level within the hydrostatic interstitial reservoir.

INTERSTITIAL SPACE The space between double wall tanks (air or brine-filled).

HYDROSTATIC INTERSTITIAL RESERVOIR Located above special DWTs. A brine solution

is added to the interstitial space of special double-walled tanks to a certain level in the

reservoir. The reservoir brine is monitored by the TSP-HIS BriteSensor for changes in level

(which should not occur). High or Low interstitial brine levels indicates: a water-leak into the

brine solution when ground water levels are high, or a brine-leak into the inner product

containment tank or into the environment (also see leaks and Chapter 2).

INDETERMIN An abbreviation for INDETERMINATE leak test result (the leak test ran 8 hours

but could not calculate a definite result, which could be either a pass, fail, or increase, usually

because of wave action within the tank or because of product temperature fluctuations. Also

see the chapter about leak testing.

Glossary Page G - 3 G

LEAKS Occur when holes develope in the tank wall or piping system, or when the seals around

tank accesses or pipe fittings age. The probability of a leak increases with age. There are two

types of leaks: 1.) Product contamination from high ground water levels, and 2.) Environmental

contamination from product leaking out of a containment area / tank. Leaks pollute the

environment and create serious health and safety hazards.

LEVEL The actual physical height of the liquid in the storage tank in inches, or centimeters.

Level is determined by the position of the magnetized FLOAT on the probe.

LOW BRINE An alarm from a special TSP-HIS leak detection sensor. This sensor monitors the

brine for changes in level within the hydrostatic interstitial reservoir.

MAGNETOSTRICTIVE Interaction of magnetic fields along a special conductor within the

probe and from the magnetic float that is used to measure exact distances / liquid level.

MONTHLY COMPLIANCE A regulatory requirement and proof thereof, for at least one passed

leak test per month (this is usually a 0.2 gph leak test).

NET The temperature compensated, product volume within a tank. NET is temperature

compensated per API standards (to 60 degrees F, or 15 degrees Celsius for petroleum products).

OUTPUT GROUP / OUT GRP / OG A collection of one or more alarms that are linked

together to control an output device (such as a horn or light).

PERCENT The percentage of product within the tank in respect to the tank capacity.

POS An abbreviation for: a Point Of Sale terminal, or position.

PROBE A sensor-probe that is installed within a UST. The probe measures the product

TEMPerature from sensors within its’ shaft, and liquid LEVEL from the position of the FLOATs

along its shaft.

PROD An abbreviation for PRODUCT.

PROBE SYNC A term to describe a loss of synchronous data from the probe (usually because

of a stuck float, corroded, wet or broken cable wires, or probe failure).

QUIET TIME The inactive period between dispenses.

RELAY A device that consists of an electrical solenoid coil, and mechanically-linked switch

contacts. When voltage is applied to the relay coil it activates like an electromagnet, and

moves the contact switch positions (off to on or on to off). Therefore, any device that is

wired to the relay contacts also turn on or off along with the control relay.

ROM (TS-ROM) An external, 4 or 8 channel, Relay Output Module BriteBox that connects to

the console.... relay(s) can be activated in response to programmed alarms.

RTD An abbreviation for the Resistive Temperature Detectors ... in a liquid level probe shaft.

SCALD An abbreviation for a special Statistical Continuous Automatic Leak Detection tank test

that runs continuously between the periods of product dispensing.

G Page G - 4 Tank Sentinel Operator’s Guide

SEM (TS-SEM) An abbreviation for the external Sensor Expansion Module (BriteBox) for the

connection of 8 leak detection sensors.

SENSOR SYNC A term used to describe a loss of synchronous data from the leak detection

sensor (usually because of a corroded, wet or broken cable wires, or a sensor failure).

SENTINEL MODE The after hours coarse leak test and theft monitoring mode (start and stop

time must be programmed).

SETUP The programming / configuration mode of the Tank Sentinel console. Setup should be

password protected for operation, security, and compliance reasons.

SLOPE The rate of change of product volume within a tank and can be either a positive or

negative (+/-) value. Slope is a value that is used in Tank Leak Testing to determine if a leak

exists or not. Slope is affected by leaks, product evaporation / vent loss, and by physical

interference and temperature fluctuations from dispensing or deliveries. Noise from other

tanks (cross-talk), leaky check valves in product-lines also disturb slope / leak tests results.

STD An abbreviation for a Standard leak detection sensor.

STP An abbreviation for Submerged Turbine Pump (the pump within the tank).

SUMP An underground containment area that is used to collect product spills (leak detection

sensors are usually mounted in these collection areas).

TGI (TS-TGI) An abbreviation for Tank Gauge Interface for / with line leak detectors.

TEMP The temperature of the product (from temperature sensors within the probe that are

submerged below the product level). Sensors above the product float level are excluded from

the probe temperature data set. Related subjects: GROSS, NET, PROBE and LEVEL.

TRANSIENT A term used to describe an instantaneous alarm or fault such as a memory error.

ULLAGE The remaining gross capacity of a tank, or the volume that can be added to the tank

without overfilling it (in gallons or liters). Ullage to full is 95% of the tanks total liquid volume

capacity. Also see CAPACITY.

UST An abbreviation for Underground Storage Tank.

WD TIMEOUT An abbreviation for a Watch Dog Timeout (temporary software failure or power

quality problem... this will occur normally after an EPROM upgrade).

WTR LVL An abbreviation for the WATER LEVEL in the storage tank. This is applicable only

with petroleum based products or similar products, where a second and heavier water interface

float is installed on the probe below the product float. Water level is displayed and printed in

level units (inches, or centimeters).

WTR VOL An abbreviation for water volume in the storage tank (this is applicable only in

petroleum based products... where a second and heavier water interface float is installed on

the probe). Water volume is displayed in volume units (gallons or liters).
