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.

Product

that has a product float. With petroleum products, water floats are used. When a programmed limit is reached, then a tank-

LOW

LOW LOW

HIGH WATER

related alarm will be produced at the console for that specific tank.

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

a liquid is detected. When a liquid is detected, the loss of signal produces a standard sensor alarm at the console.

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.

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)

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).

Alarm Status, Acknowledge Password, Acknowledging Alarms / Silencing Alarms Starting a Grace Period Leak Detection Sensors Tables and Figures

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.

WARNING TESTING ALARM OKAY

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 system fault occurs. An

ALARM

WARNING

message under the word SYSTEM when a

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 / 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

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.

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.

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.

Reports Overview

Reports may be printed or fax’d manually from the keypad, or may be programmed to print or fax on a schedule or automatically when certain events occur such as an alarm. Nonalarm reports also provide useful information to help run the business (examples of these are: Inventory, Delivery, Usage, passed Leak Tests, Sensor, Alarm, Setup, CPM, CVS, DIM or Regulatory reports). Leak Test and Regulatory reports are documented proof of compliance 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 and Warnings, and Chapter 4 about Leak Testing).

Tank Leak Test Estimate REPORT

Shows the

estimated

amount of time to complete a Standard / Static Tank Leak Test if started immediately. Estimates are affected by the size and type of tank, and conditions within the tank (such as changing product temperature because of a recent delivery, or surface ripples / disturbances from a recent dispense or delivery). It also gives the time remaining for a test if this is run during that test.

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

1 1) Slope Low and High is the amount of disturbance to the

leak test from temperature changes. Values close to each other indicate that thermal expansion or contraction was not a cause of interference. Values that are far apart will cause an increase or indeterminate test result.

12) Test Results are either: Increase Passed Failed or

Indeterminate (if tests run 8 hours without a definite

result). 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 Test Reports. Slopes more negative than the threshold value are reported as Failed, and those positive are reported as Increase.

SCALD Leak Test REPORT

SCALD is an acronym for Statistical Continuous Automatic Leak Detection. This test is typically used at sites that dispense 24 hours a day, where leak testing can only be done between dispenses. It runs a 0.2 gph Monthly Regulatory Compliance Test. The information that is shown on the SCALD leak test report is:

1) Date and time is the time-stamp when the report was produced (may not necessarily agree with the test finished time and date exactly 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 test

setting by 2.

unless the report was printed

5 ) Interval is a diagnostic value used by technicians 6 ) Volume Qualify is the minimum percent required in the

tank for SCALD tank leak tests (regulations in some areas may require a minimum 50 % full tank, or some other percent full)

7 ) Test Started is the time and date when the SCALD leak

test started

8 ) Status is a diagnostic value used by technicians 9 ) Test Ended is the time and date when the SCALD tank

leak test finished

1 0 ) Slope is the (+/–) rate of change in product volume. It is

the calculated leak rate and is used to determine the Test Result. Slope is affected by leaks, and by many other sources of interference. See Chapter 4 for more information about this. Also see Slope and Leak Test Results on the proceeding page...

When properly setup, reports can be sent automatically or manually to as many as four different fax machines. Faxes are arranged in a two column format, and will fit on as many pages as necessary (as shown here).

For example, Setup and Regulatory Reports are lengthy and take many pages to finish. The Tank Sentinel can transmit three pages at a time. If a report requires more than 3 pages, then the console will call the remote fax numbers repeatedly until all of the pages have been sent.

Leak Testing — Overview Tank Leak Tests – Type and Frequency Requirements — Before Starting a Tank Test When to Run Tank Leak Tests Starting Tank Leak Tests Tank Leak Test Results Reasons Why Tank Leak Tests can Fail

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 Tank Gauging Systems (ATGS) for Monthly Monitoring for 0.2 gal/hr leaks of Underground Storage Tanks. The system(s) also meet (or exceed) the requirements for Annual Tank Tightness Testing for 0.1 gal/hr leaks of the National Work Group on Leak Detection Evaluations (NWGLDE). Third Party Testing Laboratory test results (for standard [static] tank leak tests) are also available upon request.

TS-LLD Line Leak Tests Type and Frequency Requirements, When to Run Line Leak Tests Starting Line Leak Tests When a Line Leak – Test Fails / is Detected Steps to take When a Line Leak is Detected Need Help ?

Overview

The tank gauge can be programmed to run automatic tank or line leak tests on a regular schedule (either daily, weekly or monthly basis). In addition, leak tests can be started manually 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 are stable and will remain stable throughout the test

(such as during non-business hours).

A test will not and can not pass when disturbed. Deliveries and dispenses will cause thermal instability or product turbulence, which will interfere with and disturb a tank leak test. These disturbances may cause the test to report a failure, or an increase result, or cause the test to run for 8 hours and report an indeterminate test result.

Wait at least 6 hours after a product delivery, and 2 hours after product dispensing stops before starting Tank Leak Tests.

Make sure there is enough time to run the test without interruption – print out a test Estimate Report 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 product temperature).

The best time to test the tank integrity (leak test) is when it is full or nearly full. Regulatory requirements in some areas insist on having a certain percentage in the tank before a test can be considered valid and in compliance.

Try to run tests on tanks that are 50% full or greater. SCALD leak tests can be programmed to run only when tank levels are at or above a set value ( or percent full to qualify ).

Leak Testing Page 4 - 1

Tank Leak Tests – Type and Frequency

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

CAUTION reporting requirements of federal, state and local regulations. Your are legally bound to follow these explicitly. Where they conflict with this manual, follow the regulations.

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 a discriminating BriteSensor detects a liquid / vapor hydrocarbon (product)... a failed leak test 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 because a BriteSensor has actually detected a product leak from a tank. Take a sample from the area for chemical analysis.

Reasons Why T ank Leak Tests Fail:

•

Temperature instability – (temperature variations) of the product within the tank after a

delivery

is the most important and most common source of interference and failed leak

tests / false alarms

•

Temperature variation – of product within the tank (look at the hourly temperature data

on the leak test report and retest if the variation is more than a few tenths of a degree – see Chapter 3).

M1 M2 M3 M4

(a failure to detect real leaks can also result).

Leak Testing Page 4 - 3

(see Tank

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 are worse). Seasonal variations in product composition, size of the tank (larger is worse), and tank 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 another

source of tank deformation (certain times of the day – tide change inconsistently).

•

Tank Cross-Talk – level changes in one tank causes a level change in adjacent

tank 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 great alarm – 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.

NOTE

Don’t excavate / repair a tank because of a single failed leak test.

and procedures at you site / Chapter 5.

☞

If you fail a leak test, review the leak test report to determine if there is an obvious source of interference with the test

4 for an example of a Tank Leak Test Report)

retest the tank as soon as possible. (Retest the tank to validate or invalidate the first

test 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 then immediately have the tank precision / pressure tested. If the precision test confirms the presence of a leak then you (the tank owner) must take corrective action in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.

Reference the policy

(see the Causes of Leak Test Failures, and Chapter

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 gph test. Some jurisdictions recommend that a 0.1 gph annual precision line leak test be run yearly. (The 0.2 gph test runs automatically on a daily basis. The coarse 3 gph line test runs automatically after every dispense). State and local regulations may require more frequent tests and inspections. Make sure issues and requirements for compliance with these regulations.

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

3) Inspect the piping system, dispenser, fittings, and hoses for obvious leaks. Open

the dispenser enclosure, and inspect the fittings and fuel filter for leaks

especially

4) If no leaks are found during inspection, then start another leak test to verify the 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 and

FLOAT

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 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

GROSS

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

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

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).

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

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.
