8 Product Overview The INCON TS-1001 / 2001 /504 / 508 / 750 Tank Sentinel consoles are complete leak detection and 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 and controlling liquid levels in aboveground storage tanks. The tests meet or exceed all current EPA standards. Liquid Level Probe & Floats A broad range of liquid products can be leaktested and inventory-monitored (or gauged) simultaneously in many storage tanks. Inventory monitoring is done with a very special sensor called a Liquid Level Probe that has a product float. With petroleum products, water floats are used. When a programmed limit is reached, then a tankrelated alarm will be produced at the console for that specific tank. PROGRAMMED TANK RELATED ALARM LIMITS: HIGH HIGH HIGH Product LOW LOW LOW HIGH WATER Additionally, these consoles can monitor a wide variety of leak detection sensors which are installed within the walls of double-walled tanks (DW or DWTs), containment sumps, dispenser pans, and groundwater or vapor monitoring wells near USTs. Leak detection sensors produce alarms when exposed to liquids such as product. Some produce alarms at various liquid levels, or when water is absent (as with a ground water monitoring well sensors), 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 be divided into two basic types one is called a Standard Sensor and the other is called a BriteSensor. BriteSensors are sensors with built-in intelligence. Within them is a small computer that uses digital data to communicate with the system console. The data sent identifies the sensor-type and status of each alarm that it can detect. Some BriteSensors can tell the difference (discriminate) between water and a hydrocarbon (product) and will produce different alarm-codes for each of these. On the other hand, Standard Sensors do not use digital data. Instead, the Standard Sensor operates like an ON OFF switch that s closed when no liquid is present or open when a liquid is detected. When a liquid is detected, the loss of signal produces a standard sensor alarm at the console. P Page P - ii Tank Sentinel Operator s Guide

System hardware fail warnings, tank related alarms, leak detection sensor alarms, and line leak alarms can be customprogrammed to do many things. These events that require programming are denoted by a (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 The Models TS-1001, 504 & 750 can monitor product in up to 4 tanks The Models TS-2001 & 508 can monitor product in up to 8 tanks The TS-1001 can monitor up to 12 leak detection sensors internally The TS-2001 can monitor up to 24 leak detection sensors internally The TS-504, 508 & 750 can monitor up to 8 leak detection sensors internally External sensor expansion capability all consoles can be expanded with 1 or 2 external TS-SEM sensor expansion modules for an additional 8 or 16 sensors inputs All consoles use advanced technology and can be custom programmed to operate per your specific needs and management style All models can be programmed to create logical groups of sensors or tank limits (i.e. by tank, by monitoring well fields, by product type, or by product limits) TS-1001/2001 consoles can be programmed for automatic operation and generation of reports, and to comply with your local EPA regulatory requirements for leak testing and leak detection All consoles can be equipped with an optional TS-FM2 internal fax-modem deliveries, alarms, reports, and test data can be sent to remote locations PREFACE Page P - iii P

10 Tank Sentinel Features (CONTINUED... ) Safety 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 protect the operation and function of the tank gauge. The Tank Sentinel systems can be equipped with many optional accessories or programs such as: Tank Overfill Alarm and Acknowledge units, SCALD (Statistical and Continuous Automatic tank Leak Detection testing). TS-1001/2001 consoles can be upgraded with a unique input code after receipt of a purchase order and the console serial number. For instance, a 2 tank TS-1001 can be upgraded to 4 tanks, or SCALD upgrade added either locally on-site, or remotely (remote upgrade is possible with the optional data / fax-modem). All consoles can monitor product lines for leaks when the INCON TS-LLDI (Line Leak Detector) 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) US English System of Units ( gallons / GAL / G, inches / IN, Fahrenheit / F / F ). Throughout this manual, the volume length and temperature values are shown in US Units. 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 / Leak Detection 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 regulatory compliance test) Need Help?

All of the basic features of the system are available through these input / output devices. 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 (the site is open for business). Inventory levels and deliveries are monitored and all leak detection 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 (after normal business hours). The start and stop time of the sentinel mode must be scheduled in the setup programming mode. 3) The SETUP programming mode is where automatic operation, configuration, alarmlimits, and the overall system operation is defined and set. This mode can be password protected this is highly recommended to protect the system-operation from 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 because it is possible to alter the system and make it nonfunctional, unable to detect leaks, or be out of compliance with EPA rules and regulations. NOTE Let your authorized INCON service-provider do the setup programming look at the inside of the front cover for contact name(s) and phone number(s). Console Basic Operation Page 1-1 1

27 2 Acknowledging Alarms Contents: Purpose of Audio / Visual Alarms Audio Alarm Annunciator (& Output Relays) Visual Alarm Annunciators (& Indications) Alarm Types (System Warnings, Tank Alarms, Sensor Alarms, Line Alarms) Alarm Status, Acknowledge Password, Acknowledging Alarms / Silencing Alarms Starting a Grace Period Leak Detection Sensors Tables and Figures 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. Simple Alarm Output Device Diagram: Alarm Alarm Alarm Output Group N Output Device (Controlled) Acknowledging Alarms Page 2-1 2

28 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 SYSTEM TANK SENSOR LINE WARNING TESTING ALARM OKAY M1 M2 M3 M4 LEFT RIGHT NOTE: TANK AND LINE STATUS COLUMNS APPEAR ONLY IF THE NUMBER OF TANKS OR LINES ARE PROGRAMMED TO A VALUE OTHER THAN ZERO. ➂ Status Row indicators POWER WARNING ALARM ALARM TEST NOTE 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. 2 Page 2-2 Tank Sentinel Operator s Guide

29 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, inputchannel, 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). TSP-DIS Liquid Level Probe & PROGRAMMED Floats TANK-RELATED ALARM LIMITS: HIGH HIGH HIGH DW TANK LOW LOW LOW HIGH WATER Leak Detection Sensor TSP-DIS 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. Acknowledging Alarms Page 2-3 2

30 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 SYSTEM TANK SENSOR LINE WARNING ALARM ALARM ALARM M1 M2 M3 M4 LEFT RIGHT TANK ALARMS TRANSIENT SCALD DETECTED LEAK TANK 1 04:42:20AM 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. NOTE 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. 2 Page 2-4 Tank Sentinel Operator s Guide

32 You must know what corrective actions / steps to take when a leak test fails, when a leak detection sensor alarms, or when other problems or faults occur. These steps may differ according to your location (Country, State, Province, City or local codes). Alarms and limits may be programmed to one of the 32 available Output Groups (A thru FF). Reference your system and tank Setup Report for these associations.
