Important Safety Messages

This equipment is installed close to gasoline and diesel fuel. Working in such a hazardous environment presents a risk of severe injury or death if these instructions and standard industry practices are not followed. Read and follow all instructions thoroughly before installing or working on this, or any other related, equipment.

Be aware of the following symbols and their meanings:

A warning sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially hazardous situation may arise if the

Warning

Caution

Danger

instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous situation may involve the possibility of severe bodily harm or even death.

A caution sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially hazardous environmental situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous environmental situation may involve the leakage of fuel from equipment that could severely harm the environment.

An electrical danger sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially hazardous situation involving large amounts of electricity may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous situation may involve the possibility of electrocution, severe bodily harm, or even death.

Alarms and warnings alert you with specic details when a problem occurs so you can take corrective action. System hardware failure warnings and tank leak alarms can be programmed to do many things. The events that require programming are denoted by a (p) below:

- cause the red Alarm light or yellow Warning light to ash (standard)

- activate / sound the console annunciator alarm horn (p)

- activate internal output relays for external alarm devices (p)

- print alarm reports automatically via attached USB printer (USB - HP compatible printer) (p)

- send alarm and test reports to a specied email address (p)

Warning

Follow all applicable codes governing the installation and servicing of this product and the entire system. Always lock out and tag electrical circuit breakers while installing or servicing this equipment and any related equipment. A potentially lethal electrical shock hazard and the possibility of an explosion or re from a spark can result if the electrical circuit breakers are accidentally turned on during installation or servicing. Please refer to the Installation and Owner’s Manual for this equipment, and the appropriate documentation for any other related equipment, for complete installation and safety information.

Follow all federal, state and local laws governing the installation of this product and its associated systems. When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A and 70 from the National Fire Protection Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious property damage and/or environmental contamination.

Always secure the work area from moving vehicles. The equipment in this manual is usually mounted underground, so reduced visibility puts service personnel working on this equipment in danger from moving vehicles entering the work area. To help eliminate these unsafe conditions, secure the area by using a service truck to block access to the work environment, or by using any other reasonable means available to ensure the safety of service personnel.

When the Fuel Management System is used to monitor tanks containing gasoline or other ammable substances, you may create an explosion hazard if you do not follow the requirements in this manual carefully.

All wiring must enter the console’s enclosure through the designated knockouts. An explosion hazard may result if other openings are used.

You must run wiring from probes to the Fuel Management System console in conduits which are separate from all other wiring. Failure to do so will create an explosion hazard.

To Setup Dispensing Information:

1. Connect the RS232 serial cable from the distribution box (D-box) to the RS232 port on the Colibri.

2. Verify that the RS232 Communication port settings on the console match the D-box communication settings. Refer to Page 6 of this manual for Serial Port Setup options.

3. On the Colibri console, enter the number of grades. For this example (page 10), there are 4 grades.

Select each grade and assign a name (i.e. Unleaded Regular).

This will allow the console to automatically program hose information (grade association and position) for the Fueling points based on information received from the D-box.

4. Enter the number of fueling points. In this example there are 4.

Select Fueling Point 1 and program the number of hoses. For this example there are 3 available grades at FP1 and FP2. (number of hoses =3) and 4 grades available at FP 3 and 4 (number of hoses = 4). Continue to enter the number of hoses for each fueling point.

7. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Note: Dispensing small amounts of fuel from each hose

is required before copying the information to other fueling points that have the same number of hoses.

Run Autocongure before copy.

Appendix F - Using the Console’s Autocalibration Feature

Using the Autocalibration Feature on an FFS Tank Gauge

Introduction

Autocal is a feature of the Colibri Tank Monitoring Systems which generates a tank strapping chart in order to accurately calibrate and reconcile your fuel management system automatically. Autocal compares sale of product from dispensers with changes in tank volume.

Autocal corrects discrepancies in delivery reporting and daily reconciliations that are caused by inaccurate tank information programmed into the ATG. Incorrect tank information can come from:

• Lack of a tank chart

• Wrong tank chart

• Tank that deforms over time and no longer represents its tank chart

Autocal Requirements

A high variance on a tank’s Daily Reconciliation Reports, means that the amount of product owing through the dispensers appears to be different from the amount leaving the tank. This could mean that the manufacturer’s tank chart programmed into the ATG is not accurate, but it can also be caused by several other things. The following items should always be checked by a certied service professional before starting Autocal:

• Autocal cannot be performed on manifolded tanks

• Probes must be properly installed

• Tank tilt calculations must be correct (or 0 if the probe is at tank center)

• The tank charts provided must be correct

• The tank must be programmed correctly (length, diameter, correction points)

• Make sure that probe alarms or TS-DIM (Dispenser Interface Module) problems are not the reason for the Over / Short status

• Recently passed tank tests and line tests are on le

• The dispenser meters are calibrated

• Your FFS ATG has the Reconciliation option and is interfaced with a POS / dispenser

• Your FFS ATG has the correct Reconciliation programming

Note: Calibrating a tank with Autocal that does not meet

the above criteria could potentially cover up a problem or leak.

Hardware and Software Requirements

An Colibri gauge must have the TS-TRAC internal software option to perform the Autocal feature. The Colibri Tank Monitoring System must be doing accurate dispenser reconciliation.

Autocal Preparation

Determining Sites That May Require Autocal. The following steps will help determine if an Autocalibration may be necessary

1. Generate a DIM Reconciliation Report for the last 30 days. Look for tanks that have Over or Short status on the report.

2. Take note if any days show missing sales or sales numbers that are unrealistic. These days may be the reason that the status may show OVER or SHORT, but they are not reasons for using Autocal. It is possible that the tank still needs to be calibrated even if it has some missing days or data. The “good” days need to be examined to see if the Daily Variance is usually high. If the Daily Variance is greater than 10% of the sales on “good” days, then there is another problem in the system that needs to be xed prior to starting Autocal.

To See If a Tank Is Autocal Ready

• Use the previous month’s DIM Reconciliation Report to look for explanations for the Over / Short status. A typical tank that needs calibration will show a consistently high variance, but not very high. If the Daily Variance is higher than 10% of the sales for that day, then the problem is probably being caused by something that will not be resolved by using Autocal.

• Check the Active Alarms and Alarm History for probe problems on the tank to be calibrated.

• Check the tank setup. Each tank must have its own Special Tank, and each tank type must be the Special Tank of the same number (e.g. Tank 1 type = Special 1, Tank 2 type = Special 2).

• Make sure that the Tank Length (or estimated Length for berglass) is programmed correctly. If it is not, there may be a false delivery recorded at the time between the old tank chart being cleared and the rst point being put in. To see how to adjust the length of your tank correctly, refer to the following section called Adjusting Length rst.

• Are there any known problems at the site in the past that might effect variance?

• Record the daily usage from the ATG in order to estimate how long Autocal will take to complete.

• If Autocal has been attempted before, make sure that it was stopped and that the original tank information was programmed back in prior to starting Autocal again.

If the above bulleted points have all been addressed, then you are ready to start Autocal.

Calibration Procedure

FFS recommends that calibration be started with the tank lled to more than 90% of its total volume, and that the tank be then allowed to drain down to at least 10% of its total volume. When the Autocal program senses 80% volume coverage, it will end automatically, but it can also be stopped manually at any time.

As long as the coverage is around 70%, it should be sufcient. The key is that the new tank chart covers the level range that the tank stays in during normal operation.

Delivery during Calibration

If a delivery occurs during the Autocal process that raises the fuel level to a point above the calibration starting point,

Autocal will STOP.

Adjusting Length First

If the Tank Length (or estimated Length for berglass) isn’t programmed correctly, then there may be a false delivery recorded at the time between the old tank chart being cleared and the rst point being entered in. Make sure that your Tank Length is programmed correctly, and refer to the appropriate section below based on your tank type.

Flat Ends (Steel)

If the ends of the tank are at so that the tank is a true cylinder, then the ATG should only need to know the length and diameter and should not need to be calibrated. Adjusting the Length may correct the problem.

If the Daily Variance is always negative or always positive, then it is likely that the Length is wrong. Check the delivery accuracy, and it will likely show an error also, though probably in the opposite direction of the variance.

If the Daily Variance is consistently NEGATIVE (with positive deliveries), then the tank is TOO BIG and the Length should be shortened and vice versa. Adjust the Length of the tank. As a rule of thumb, calculate the average variance for the past ve days. Figure out what percentage of the total tank volume this average variance is equal to, and modify the length of the tank by the same percentage. Monitor the Daily Variance of the modied tank for several days to see what the effect has been.

Dome Ends (Fiberglass)

If the tank is berglass with domed ends, then there is no set Length. An approximate Length should be calculated based on the Diameter and Volume capacity of the tank by using this formula: Length = 231 (4V/πD2) (for metric units replace 231 with 10,000,000). Enter the Correction Points from the manufacturer’s tank chart at least every 5 inches (12.7 cm) - the more points entered the better.

Length and Volume Unknown

If the Length and Volume of the tank are unknown and you don’t have a tank chart, then the default reference volume will not be accurate enough. Follow these steps to obtain, and enter, an accurate reference volume in the tank:

1. Enter an approximate length.

2. Drain the tank completely dry (the product drop in the next step will be off by whatever amount is not removed).

3. Drop an accurately measured amount of fuel into the tank — the more measured fuel added, the better.

4. Adjust the Length until the ATG reads about the same amount as was dropped.

5. Enter the amount dropped as the reference volume when prompted during the Autocal start.

Starting Autocal

When Autocal starts, it will need a reference volume as the starting point for the calibration. The default reference volume will be what the tank gauge is reading at the time that Autocal is started. This reading needs to be as accurate as possible and not higher than the initial volume read by the ATG, in order to produce a quality chart. The Diameter, Length, and Correction Points are what contribute to the default volume’s accuracy. The diameter of the tank should be listed on the tank chart, but, if it’s not, then it can be easily measured.

To begin the Autocal process;

1. Select a tank from the Inventory Summary Screen.

2. After selecting the tank, press the (MENU) key in the upper right hand corner.

3. Next, select Control/Tanks/Autocalibration.

4. Select the tank and this message should appear “Are you sure you want to perform the autocalibration on this tank?” Select OK.

5. The following message will be displayed “Do you want to enter a reference volume for the autocalibration?”

6. Select OK and enter a reference volume to start. The reference volume needs to be slightly less than the current volume.

After the reference volume is entered, the tank should have an ACTIVE indication in the (FMS) / Autocalibration (Tank) screen.

Reasons Why Autocal Would Stop

• Power failure

• Setup entered

• Probe failure

• TS-DIM failure

• Delivery in Tank under Autocal.

Autocal Completion

1. The Autocalibration procedure will stop when the Percent Coverage is reached.

2. Monitor the Daily Reconciliation and Delivery Reports for a few weeks to ensure that they are within tolerance.

Note:

If Autocal stops collecting points for any reason, stop it, reprogram the original tank chart, and start over.
