To generate basic status, leak detection test, and alarm history reports, you will use the STAT
command and HISTORY command. Specific instructions for generating these reports follow.
Inventory/Status Reports
You can generate a status report from the Status (Stat) Screen. This report can tell you, among
other things, how many tanks are being monitored, what type of fuel is in each tank, how much
water and product are in the tanks (as well as the temperature compensated volumes), and the
current leak rate of each tank.
To view the Status (Stat) Screen:

For more detailed inventory/status information you can generate a Fuel History Report, which
describes the tank level, volume, ullage, and fuel usage for eleven of the most recent twelve hour
periods, or a Delivery Log Report, which describes the temperature, volume, date, and time, by
tank, at the beginning and end of the last eleven deliveries. You generate both of these reports
from the History Menu.
To generate a Fuel History or Delivery Log Report:
Log in as described above
Type HISTORY after the R> prompt; a list of history commands will appear
Type FUEL HISTORY 1 or DELIVERY LOG 1, as appropriate, after the R> prompt
Change the suffix following the name of the report if you wish to view reports older than the eleven
most recent. For example, type FUEL HISTORY 12 for the eleven twelve-hour periods preceding
the eleven most recent. If you wish to view one of these reports for only one tank in a multi-tank
system, identify the number of the tank after a space following the numerical suffix. For example,
a Fuel History Report showing the eleven most recent twelve hour periods for just tank 1 would
require you to type FUEL HISTORY 1 1.
Delivery reports can help you determine if leak test results might be affected by introduction of
product during a test, or this data can be used to perform statistical inventory reconciliation to
validate the results of in-tank leak detection tests.

Leak Test Reports
The Infinity TMS can also generate leak test reports, which provide detailed information on the
most recent leak tests performed by the system. The Infinity TMS will automatically attempt to
perform a leak detection test daily, so unless the system has been programmed to perform
differently, you should have daily leak detection test results for each tank attached to the system.

Infinity TMS leak test results and their meaning are shown below:
PASSED: test was able to run for the minimum test time, and during the test, the temperature
compensated volume remained the same or increased or decreased less than 0.1 gal/hr
FAILED: test was able to run for the minimum test time, and during the test, the temperature
compensated volume increased or decreased more than 0.1 gal/hr; such increases or decreases
of greater than 0.1 gal/hr may be attributable to product leaking from the tank or the influx of
groundwater into the tank
INVALID: test stopped before completion due to delivery, dispensing, or probe hardware alarm
or loss of system communication

Infinity/Continuum TMS: Sample Reports (continued)
If the Infinity TMS reports that the tank failed or that the test was invalid, you should investigate
further to determine the cause of a possible leak. The system can reliably detect leakage rates of
0.2 gph or higher, and was third party certified as such, but reports that a tank failed if it detects a
leak of more that 0.1 gph.
Alarm Reports
You can also generate reports that tell you what types of alarm events have occurred for a tank
system in the past, or what alarms are currently triggered. The Alarmlog Screen displays the most
recent alarm events.
To generate an Alarmlog Report:
Log on to the system as described above
Type ALARM LOG 1 at the R> prompt
Change the suffix following the name of the report if you wish to view reports older than the eleven

Finally, you can generate reports that differentiate between alarms generated to inform the
operator that the level of the tank is too high or low, or that theft has occured, and alarms
generated to inform the operator of a leak, an incomplete leak test, or other alarms. These reports
are called the Levelalarms Report and Tankalarms Report respectively.
To generate a Levelalarm or Tankalarm Report:
Log on as described above
Type HISTORY at the R> prompt; a list of HISTORY commands will appear
Type LEVELALARM 1 or TANKALARM 1, as appropriate, to generate a report of the eleven

Leak Test Reports
The Tank Manager system can display leak test results graphically on screen in two ways. First,
the Test Summary Display is a bar chart, one chart per tank, which displays the gallon per hour
volume change rates for the last 15 tank leak tests. Each bar on the chart represents the results of
one test. On the left hand axis of the bar chart on the screen, you will find the scale for the volume
change rate, marked as plus (into tank) and minus (out of tank) gallons or liters per hour. To the
left of the bar chart, you will see a box which displays the depth, volume, and temperature of the
fuel in the tank, the volume and temperature change for the test, and the month, day, and time of
the test. The Last Test Detail Display shows you only the results of the last test that was run on
each tank.
To view the Test Summary or Last Test Detail Display:
Press DSP MENU
Press 3 (press 6 to view Last Test Detail Display)
Use the [ARROW] keys to move between details of various tests
Or
Press [ARROW] to position the cursor over the TEST SUMMARY or LAST TEST DETAIL option
in the DSP MENU and press ENTER
You can also print a Test Summary Report, which is a concise summary of the last 15 valid leak
detection tests run on each tank. The following conditions may result in invalid test results, which
are not saved: recent deliveries, large temperature changes during a test, not enough quiet time
during the six hour test window, or low tank volume. A Test Summary Report is shown below:

Tank Manager: Sample Reports (continued)
If the Tank Manager system detects an increase or decrease in volume greater than 0.2 gph,
based on the results of the last complete leak test, then the system will show the test alarm
indicator, TA, on the LCD. If the Tank Manager system reports such an event, the operator should
investigate to determine the cause of a possible leak.
Alarm Reports
You can view current alarm indicators on the STAT display screen (described above). These
indicators appear as text (defined below) flashing against a dark background. For example, if the
last leak test showed a loss or gain in volume of 0.2 gph or more, TA will flash beside the tank
number on the Stat Display. A list of alarm indicators relevant to the tank, volume, water level, and
sensors follows:
Tank
TA: last leak test showed a loss or gain in volume of 0.2 gph or more
C: tank probe is not detecting level and may require service
T: no tank test has been completed for 21 days
Volume
HI: tank is filled above the high volume alarm set point
LO: tank volume is below the low volume set point
Water
HI: water level in the bottom of the tank exceeded the high water set point

PASSED
The TMS 500 reports that the tank either passed or failed. If the report shows that the tank failed,
the operator should investigate further to determine the cause of a possible release. Conditions
that might indicate that the test was invalid rather than leaking, include the following: delivery
within 6 hours of the test, changes in temperature greater than one-half of one degree from the
beginning to the end of the test, and finally, differences in water level.
You can also print a Leak Estimate Report and a Reconciliation Report. The Leak Estimate Report
lists the test rate in volume/hour, percent of gross capacity, gross and net volume, level,
temperature, water volume, water level, and the minimum amount of time needed to complete the
test. The Reconciliation Report includes the time and date, gross and net volume, and product
level at the start and end of the reconciliation period, as well as the gross and net delivery, and
gross and net usage.

Basic System Description:
The TLS-250 and Tank Monitor can display full inventory information for all tanks in the system
and, when equipped with the optional printer, provide a printed inventory of the following tank
information: date and time, product type, ullage, water height, temperature compensated fuel
volume, fuel volume, fuel height, and fuel temperature. The systems can be programmed with
certain alarm limits and can conduct leak tests automatically at programmed times, or on demand.
According to the vendor, the Tank Monitor 2 and 3 series will be made obsolete this year, though
they will still be used in the field. The TLS-250 system, though still used in the field, is now
obsolete. The new 300 series from Veeder-Root was designed as its replacement. No information
was provided on the TLS-200 or TLS-200i.
Certified Leak Rates and Thresholds (with capacitance probe):
Leak rate of 0.2 gph with leak threshold of 0.126 gph
Leak rate of 0.1 gph with leak threshold of 0.071 gph
Certified Leak Rates and Thresholds (with magnetostrictive probe):
Applicability:
Gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, solvents
Other liquids may be tested after consultation with the manufacturer

Leak test results will show whether each tank in the system passed or failed, or if the test was
short or invalid. A tank passed if the volume change (if any) was less than 0.2 gph. A tank failed if
the volume change was greater than +/- 0.2 gph. Short test results indicate that the test duration
was too short to yield valid test results. Invalid test results indicate that the system detected a leak
rate greater than +/- 0.2 gph, but that one or more of the tank conditions was outside of
acceptable parameters. Invalid tests will cause the system to print at the end of the test a report
which shows which conditions were unacceptable.

You can program the EMS-3500 to run leak tests at defined start and stop times (TLT), or to
automatically begin leak tests during quiet times when no fuel is being dispensed or delivered
(ALT). If the system has been unable to perform an automatic test, you can configure the system
to notify the operator that a conclusive leak test has not been performed on a particular tank and
that adequate down time must be provided to allow a test to run.
The system can also generate theft detection reports based on programmed time intervals, self
test reports (detailing the internal diagnostic routine), and an automatic power outage report.

Automatic Tank Gauging Systems For Release Detection: Reference Manual (August 2000)

Once the report is printed, you should verify that it appears correct.
You should:
Check the start and stop times. Are they correct?
Verify that the start and end volumes and temperatures for each tank appear correct.
Check the number of hours the test ran (if the test ran for more than 55 minutes during any hour,
that should be considered an hour. The number of lines printed in the hourly data section should
equal the number of hours. If the wrong amount of lines are present, check if the power failed
(check the test status).
Check the test status listed at the end of the report. If the status is other than 01, the test may be
invalid for small leaks. Status codes of 90 (product loss), 91 (product gain), or 92 (water
change), may still indicate a leak if the code cannot be explained by a condition which occurred
during the test (such as product was dispensed).
Check each line of hourly data per tank to verify that all the hourly leak rates appear reasonable.
(If a line shows -9.55 gallons for that hour, product was either dispensed, which invalidates the
test, or a major leak occurred).
Check the high leak rate per minute listed at the end of the test. If it is much different than any of
the hourly leak rates, then fuel may have been delivered or dispensed during the test, which
invalidates the test.
If all test data appear normal, the average leak rate at the end of the test and the test status
should be used as a leak indicator.

USTest2001: Sample Reports
The Site Monitor system software starts automatically when the Site Monitors power switch is
turned on. If at any time the software is not running, you can restart it at the DOS prompt by
following the steps below:
Inventory/Status Reports
The tanks inventory screen will be displayed on the system monitor for the majority of the time the
system is operating. This screen has been designed to display various tank and system
information at a single glance. Information will be provided on the inventory screen for each tank in
the format below:
TANK 1 - UNLEADED

In addition to the numeric information on the right, the system displays a graphical representation
of the fluid volume in the tank on the left hand side of each frame. The colors used to represent
the fluid follow the conventions of a stop light. When the tank is in normal range, the fluid is shown
as green. If the volume reaches the reorder or high level thresholds, the fluid will be shown as
yellow. Should the fluid reach the overfill or low inventory thresholds, the fluid is depicted as red
and the computer will sound an audible alarm. Water appears at the bottom of the tank illustration
as blue.
At the bottom of the frame for each tank, the tank and probe alarm status message will be
displayed. If the tank is at a normal level and the probes are responding correctly, the OK
message will be displayed. Other messages that may be displayed include:
Faulty Probe: wire connecting the ATG board or probe has been disconnected
No Water Re.: probe is unable to detect bottom of tank
Water Present: water has been detected at the tank bottom
Overfill: overfill threshold has been exceeded
High Level: high level threshold has been exceeded
Reorder: reorder threshold has been exceeded
Low Inventory: low inventory threshold has been exceeded
To access the system reporting functions:
Select the REPORT (ALT+R) option from the main menu

USTest, Inc.
USTest2001: Sample Reports (continued)
In order to pass a monthly test, a tanks leak rate may be no higher than +/-0.2 gallons per hour. In
the example above, all leak rates are below this threshold; therefore, all the tanks have passed. If
N/A appears on the report, not enough data was collected to successfully run a valid precision
leak rate test.
At any time during the month, the system may replace a previous precision test. A test will only be
replaced if the tanks leak rate is within the set threshold and the product volume is higher than
that of the previous test. At the beginning of each new month, the previous monthly report will be
saved.
