Functional Overview

1.2.2 MODEL III CONTROLLER

The Model III controller is a microprocessor-based device which can monitor up eight Smart

Modules and eight I/O Modules. Because of its small size, the controller can conveniently be placed

in a convenient-to-get-to convenient location.

The Model III controller is designed for INDOOR USE ONLY.

There are two methods of Model III controller operation: (1) an on-site terminal or PC, and (2) an

off-site terminal or PC connected via modems. All setup and operating commands are listed on

menus.

No commands need to be memorized and no computer expertise is required to program the

controller. The same menus are used for all methods of controller operation. Help screens are

available at each menu.

1.2.3 SMART MODULE

The Smart Module gathers probe and sensor data and routes it to the controller. Up to 16 probes or

sensors can be connected to each Smart Module. Up to eight Smart Modules can communicate with

the controller via the Petro-Net LAN.

1.2.4 I/O MODULE

The optional Input/Output Module expands I/O capacity, and allows connection of up to four input

devices and 12 output devices to the controller. Up to eight I/O modules can be connected for a grand

total of 32 input and 96 output devices.

The I/O Module communicates with the controller via Petro-Net.

1.2.5 PROBES

The Petro Vend Model 613 probe has a built-in computer. Setup data is stored in the probe, and

downloaded to the controller, during configuration.

The Model 613 probes have diagnostic capabilities to assist trouble shooting.

SiteSentinel

1.2.6 SENSORS

The following sensors are available from Petro Vend. All these sensors connect to the Smart Module

for intrinsically safe operation.

See your Site Sentinel Installation Manual for illustrations of these sensors.

G Vapor Sensor. You can place vapor sensors in monitoring wells around the tanks, near

pipelines or between the walls of double containment systems. You can also locate this sensor above

ground to detect most petroleum vapors.

G Liquid Sensor. These sensors determine if a liquid is covering the vapor sensor or if a liquid

has entered the space between the walls of a double-wall tank, pipe or delivery system. The liquid

sensor is not destroyed when activated.

G Universal Sump Sensor. These sensors go in an attached manway riser or an attached collar

riser. They detect liquid in the piping sump.

G Universal Reservoir Sensor. The URS monitors the reservoir level in double-walled

monitored tanks.

G Liquid Phase Sensor. This sensor detects liquid hydrocarbon in various types of installations;

for example, wet inspection wells, wet monitoring wells, piping with or without secondary

containment, and above or below grade vaulted tanks.

G Interstitial Sensor. This device detects liquid hydrocarbons and/or water within a tank's

interstitial space. Two sensing elements are wired to separate terminals in the SiteSentinel Smart

Module, so the system indicates hydrocarbon and water independently.

G Freon Sensor. These sensors continuously detect Freon gas caused by leaks or spills, typically

from pipes and tanks in and around refrigeration equipment.

1.2.7 TERMINAL/PC OPERATION

Using a terminal to program your Site Sentinel is optional on the Model II, but required on the

Model III.

Local Operation. The terminal can be connected locally, within six feet of the controller.

Communication is through the RS232 port of the controller.

Remote (Modem) Operation. For modem information, see Page 143. Terminal emulation and PC

connections are explained on Page 149.

Functional Overview

If you intend to write a computer interface program to execute SiteSentinel commands, remember

that the menu and command arrangements are subject to change in future software versions.

Appendix K, beginning on Page 189, is a comprehensive guide to writing programs for controlling

your system.

Your terminal must be able to use one of the following operating standards

9 VT52

9 VT100

9 WYSE 50.

If you are using a PC, use a software program that can emulate one of these terminal standards.

The baud rate for the terminal or emulation software must match the rate set in the controller - refer

to the SiteSentinel Installation Manual for details.

The terminal or emulation software must be configured for the following features:

G Carriage Return only

G 40 or 80 columns

G 25 (or more) lines

G Full duplex

G 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity

The Timed Auto-logout feature prevents unauthorized access to the SiteSentinel if the system is

left unattended.

When enabled, auto logout exits current mode (privileged, restricted, or normal) and returns to Idle

Mode whenever a key has not been pressed for 10 minutes.

The auto-logout feature cannot be disabled when you are accessing the system via a modem.

Refer to Page 37 for more information about the timed auto-logout feature.

CLEAR EPROM CHECKSUM ERROR

This feature is only required to clear an error that may be caused by a software upgrade.

BATTERY TEST

Use this feature to run a test on the battery inside the controller. This battery protects the system data

in case of a power failure. When the system is operating, this battery is tested automatically every day,

just after midnight. In addition, the system automatically tests the battery after an initial power up and

after a power failure and recovery.

In the Model II, the condition of the battery is indicated with two LEDs on the controller board, just

above the battery - a `PASS' (green) LED or `FAIL' (red) LED lights. The results of the latest automatic

battery test can also be viewed in the status report menu - see Page 115.

Confirm that the battery is plugged in before you test it.

TIMED PROBE TEST

Use this feature to test probes via timed error monitoring. This feature requires a printer, and does not

affect normal operation. The current configurations for the Smart Module positions are displayed. Use

submenu selections #1 and #2 to specify which probe(s) to test and the duration of the test.

Selection #3 starts the test (and, if necessary, stops it before the end of the period). All test printouts

indicate the following

L Starting and ending dates and times

L Test duration

L Software versions

L Probe serial number.

If an error message is received during the test period, the test is immediately aborted. The printout

indicates "FAILED" and lists the specific error code received. When no error is received, the printout

indicates "PASSED".

If a Smart Module position is assigned as a probe position, but not yet configured, the probe test

automatically installs the probe with a typical set of values when the test is started.

The Site Sentinel Model II default operating mode is IDLE. In this mode the display shows the

PetroVend/SiteSentinel logo screen.

You can program the system to instead display graphs showing the status of the Smart Modules (probes

and sensors) and/or the I/O modules.

The top line of all status graphs shows the controller's current software version. When the system is

being accessed via a modem or terminal, that is also indicated (`TERM IN USE').

When enabled, the system displays each graph for five seconds. To review an individual graph, press the

[ALPHA] key. Press the [CANCEL] key to resume the display cycle.

The status graphs may be disabled to prevent unauthorized viewing of system data.Two types of sensor

graph are available for each Smart Module. A total of 16 status graphs may be displayed.

The second line indicates the Smart Module number and its operational status (`OKAY' or `DOWN').

No information can be displayed from a module that is down.

Two graphs can be cyclically displayed for each active Smart Module. You can also display a graph to

monitor the input and output devices that are connected to the optional I/O module(s).

3.1.10 Volume Reference Temp Setup

MAIN MENU L Á L ‚ L ı

OVERVIEW

Most liquids expand when warmed and contract when cooled. For example, a tank with 4,000 gallons

of gasoline at 50EF has a level measurement of 60 inches. At 70EF the level measurement would be 61

inches because the product has expanded. The new volume would be 4010 gallons, even though no new

product was added.

To prevent volume changes due to temperature fluctuation from being confused with volume changes

due to leakage, the SiteSentinel calculates a "net corrected" volume for the product in each tank.

Net corrected volumes are NOT affected by changes in product temperature.

To calculate a net corrected volume, the SiteSentinel uses level and temperature measurements from the

probe, along with a "volume correction factor" (VCF). For most petroleum products, the VCF is

determined by the API number or density of the product, and a set of volume conversion tables. For

products that are not covered by these tables (such as crude oil and lubricating oil), the thermal expansion

coefficient - Alpha - must be determined.

VOLUME CONVERSION TABLES

When you enter an API number or density for a product, the SiteSentinel uses a set of tables to convert

the measured (gross) volume into a corrected volume based on the reference temperature. The

SiteSentinel uses two sets of tables for this purpose.

The first set of tables is based on a reference temperature of 60EF (15EC). This set of tables is used in

most locations. The tables in this set are commonly referred to as 5b, 6b, 53b, 54b, and 54c, and are

accepted by the ASTM, the API, the IP, and the ISO as standards ASTM D-1250, API-2540, IP200, and

ISO DIS 91/1-1982, respectively.

The second set of tables is based on the reference temperature 68EF (20EC). This set includes tables

commonly referred to as 59b and 60b. These tables are being approved by the IP and the ISO as IP250

and ISO-91/2 respectively.

API NUMBER

The API (American Petroleum Institute) number is a measure of product density. This number ranges

from 0E API to 85E API. For API numbers, the SiteSentinel uses the 60EF table set for the reference

temperature. THIS CANNOT BE CHANGED. Tables 5b and 6b within this set are used.

SiteSentinel

DENSITY

Density is the measure of a product's weight per volume. The range for density values is 654 - 1075 kg/m³

(kilograms per cubic meter). For density values, the SiteSentinel can correct to either 15EC (using tables

53b and 54b) or to 20EC (using tables 59b and 60b).

The terminal options for changing the density reference temperature are in the Controller Setup menu,

accessed from the Main menu. Once in the Controller Setup menu, enter [10] to change the VOLUME

REFERENCE TEMP: field as desired.

Specific gravity is similar to density, but relates to the density of water instead of petroleum products.

To convert a specific gravity value into a SiteSentinel compatible value, multiply specific gravity by

999.

ALPHA

Alpha is the direct measure of a product's thermal expansion. Alpha must be measured and calculated for

products without effective API or density values. This is a complicated procedure that must be done by a

commercial laboratory, based on the SiteSentinel table 54c.

The range for Alpha is 1,500 - 80,000, and are based on a reference temperature of 15EC (60EF).

When Alpha is measured in PPM/EF (parts-per-million, per degree F), multiply Alpha by 18 before

entering the value. When Alpha is measured directly per degree F, multiply Alpha by 18,000,000

(eighteen million) before entering the data.

When Alpha is measured in PPM/EC, multiply Alpha by 10 before entering the value. When Alpha is

measured directly per degree C, multiply Alpha by 10,000,000 (ten million) before entering the value.

PRODUCT VARIATION

To insure proper volume correction, the SiteSentinel must be programmed with accurate product

information.

To enter API numbers, density values, or Alpha values, use the Probe Configuration menu, accessed from

the Sensor And Probe Configuration menu (accessed from System Setup).

Because the API number or density often vary between shipments, the site operator should check these

values after each delivery. Alpha values may or may not vary with deliveries, depending on the product.

Check with the product's distributor to see how often to evaluate Alpha.

The API number or density (at the reference temperature) is available from most petroleum distributors.

It is often printed on the delivery ticket. Or, you can measure the API number directly using a

hydrometer.

IMPORTANT

(1) The interstitial sensor has two sensing elements, one for liquid hydrocarbon products and one for

water. The liquid phase sensor, which also detects liquid hydrocarbon products, is available with and

without a water-sensing element.

When a sensor has two sensing elements, each element must be wired to a separate terminal

position in the same Smart Module. Both module positions must be assigned, configured, and

installed. This enables the SiteSentinel to indicate the presence of hydrocarbon products and water

independently.

(2) The water-sensing element for the interstitial sensor should be configured as a "liquid" sensor.

(3) The water-sensing element for the liquid phase sensor should be configured as a "water" sensor.

ASSIGN POSITION

This puts the cursor at the appropriate position. Press the [NO] or [N] key to "toggle" your choices, and

then press [ENTER] to confirm your choice.

If you change a position from probe to sensor or from sensor to probe, a warning message is displayed.

If you proceed to make the change, the old configuration data are destroyed.

The number for each Smart Module is determined by a small rotary switch, located on the PV242 board

(inside the module cabinet). This switch has ten positions, marked "0" to "9". A small arrow on the

switch points to the current position.

Positions #0 and #9 disconnect the module from the controller.
