IMPORTANT
Manifolded tanks are physically connected so that product can flow freely between them. A
probe is required for each tank in the manifold group. All probes for a manifold group must be
connected to the same Smart Module.
To set up a group of manifolded tanks, first use the SENSOR & PROBE CONFIGURATION
MENU to configure each probe in the group. Items 5 and 6 can be entered for the group as a
whole from the TANK MANIFOLDING MENU and do not need to be assigned individually. After
the probes are configured, assign positions to a group.
Note that if you use the SENSOR & PROBE CONFIGURATION MENU to change items 5 and/or
6 for a position after it is assigned to a manifold group, all positions in the group are changed
automatically.
DESCRIPTION
This is a label that can be used to describe the device at this module position. For example,
`SUMP SENSOR' or `NORTH SUMP'.

RECONFIGURE
Select this item to specify data for all features. To prompt for a single feature, enter the corresponding
number from the menu (3 - 12).
TANK #
The number of a tank is not determined by the module or position number to which the corresponding
probe is wired at the Smart Module. The tank number is only a label that is used to identify the tank for
the reports.
DESCRIPTION
This is a label describing the device at this module position. For example, `HYDROCARBON SENSOR' or
`PV PROBE'.
PRODUCT
This is the name that is used for the product on the reports. This name is only a label.
API/DENSITY/ALPHA
The API (American Petroleum Institute) number is a measure of a product's density. The SiteSentinel
uses the API number to determine the product's expansion coefficient. This value is used to standardize
the effect of product temperature on product volume. The API number for a product can usually be
obtained from the product distributor.
(The SiteSentinel accepts only API numbers between
0EAPI and 85EAPI).
API numbers for some common liquids are shown below:
Regular Gasoline
63.0
Unleaded Gasoline
60.0
Premium Unleaded Gasoline . 66.0
Diesel
47.0
Kerosene
43.0
The product density can be substituted for the API number. The range for density values is 654 to 1075
kg/m3. (The density of a product is equal to the specific gravity multiplied by 999.) The SiteSentinel
automatically determines whether an entry is an API number or density value by the range in which it
falls.
66
System Setup
For products other than motor fuel, heating and diesel oils, jet fuels, kerosene and gasoline, a thermal
expansion coefficient - Alpha - should be substituted for the API number.
For more information on API numbers, density, and Alpha values, see Page 57.
IMPORTANT
A standardized API or density value for a product must be calculated at a reference temperature.
For API numbers, the reference temperature is usually 60EF. For density, the reference
temperature is
15EC or 20EC. Use the Controller Setup menu to change the reference
temperature.
If you measure the API or density value directly (using a hydrometer), you must also determine the
current product temperature.
Procedure
1. Enter an API, density, or Alpha value
If an Alpha value is entered, no further information is needed.
2. If an API or density value is entered, you'll be prompted for the temperature at which the reading
was taken:
If no temperature is entered, the reference temperature is used.
3. If a temperature is entered, you are next prompted as to whether you used a glass hydrometer.
4. If a glass hydrometer was used, specify `GLASS'. If you did not use a hydrometer, specify
`NONE'. Use the [NO] or [N] key to toggle the options. When the appropriate option displays,
press the [ENTER] key.
TANK SHAPE
The SiteSentinel recognizes three tank types:
(1) Cylindrical with flat ends
(typical steel tank)
(2) Cylindrical with rounded ends
(typical fiberglass tank)
(3) Straight sides
(typical vertical tank)
67
SiteSentinel
Use the [NO] or [N] key to toggle the options. When the appropriate tank type displays, press the
[ENTER] key.
To correct for tank variations, refer to Page 79.
TANK DIAMETER
Most tanks have a nominal diameter (or height for vertical tanks) listed in the manufacturer's
specifications. The actual size of a tank can vary several inches from its supplied specification.
It is strongly recommended that the inside of each tank be measured carefully to ensure accurate
system data.
TANK VOLUME
The tank volume is determined from the nominal volume supplied by the manufacturer or from a
measured fill.
PRODUCT OFFSET
The product offset can be calculated and added to the probe offset to electronically "center" the probe
in a tank. No compensation factor is required if a tank is perfectly level or if the probe is installed at or
near the tank center.
To determine the product offset, it is necessary to make a few measurements and a few simple
calculations. The measurements are easier to make during installation and should already have been done.
If not, the procedure for determining the compensation value is described in the Installation Manual.
WATER OFFSET
To calculate the water offset, you should manually measure the amount of water (usually by sticking the tank).
The system measurement is then subtracted from this value to yield the water offset.
For example, a tank has a stick measurement of 0.4" of water. The water level in the tank inventory report is 3.1".
The water offset should be -2.7". After entering the offset, the inventory report will show the corrected water level
and volume.
The magnet in the water float (which marks the float's position for the controller) is located about 2.7" (7 cm) from
the bottom of the float. As a result, the system will show a water level even when there is no water in the tank,
unless you enter a water offset value.
68
System Setup
WATER FLOAT
Probes can be installed with or without a water float.
USED - ENABLED PROBE ERR The water float readings are based on actual float position and water offset
value.
USED - DISABLED FOR PROBE ERR. The water level displayed is equal to the level just prior to the
water float error. If during the time since the error, the product level has dropped below the last water
level, then the water level displayed is equal to the product level.
NOT USED. The water level is unavailable.
DELIVERY TIMER
Enter a time to allow product in a tank to “settle down” after a delivery. Turbulence will occur during
and shortly after product is pumped into a tank, sometimes causing erroneous readings. After this time
expires, normal probe monitoring begins.
Enter a time in minutes from 1 to 59.

SETUP
Tanks can be physically connected together, or manifolded, so that product can flow freely between them.
Each tank in a manifolded group must have its own probe.
All probes for a manifold group must be connected to the same Smart Module.
Module positions must be configured before they can be assigned to a manifold group.
To set up a manifold group, specify the module number, manifold group, and positions. At least two
positions must be entered for a group to be valid. Positions do not need to be adjacent. Once a position
has been assigned to a group, it cannot be entered in another group.
The product label, API/density, temperature, hydrometer, and volume-activated thresholds (minimum
theft, sales, and delivery) are entered for the group as a whole. The level-activated tank thresholds values
(low product, overflow, and high water) can be set up for each tank in a manifolded group, but not for
the group as a whole (see next section).
70
System Setup
DATA
Data from a manifolded tank group is reported in a manner slightly different than the data from single
tanks.
The SiteSentinel generates saved and immediate inventory reports for both the manifolded group and
each tank in the group. Sales, thefts, and deliveries are reported only for the manifolded group as a whole.
Overflow, low product, high water, and bad temperature events are indicated for each individual tank in
the group.
Whenever product is added or removed from one manifolded tank, the volumes of all the tanks in the
group are affected for a period of several minutes to a half an hour.

72
System Setup
HIGH WATER
Some water is present in most tanks due to condensation. Water also can leak into a tank if it is located
below the water table. Water is more dense than most fuel products and sinks to the bottom of a tank.
To prevent water from being pumped as product, the high water level should be set well below the
suction tube or pump intake. The high water value typically is six inches (15 cm) or less.
OVERFLOW
To prevent spillage due to excessive product deliveries, you can specify an overflow level. This value
should reflect both the size of the tank and the rate at which product is pumped.
This level should be set far enough below the actual point of overflow to allow for any delay between
flagging the overflow (which happens when the level is reached) and the actual stopping of product flow.
A typical value would be 90% of tank diameter (or height).
LOW PRODUCT
To prevent product shortages, you can specify a low product level to indicate when product is running
low. The level set should be based on the rate of product dispensed from the tank and lead times for
product delivery.
A typical value is 10% of tank diameter (or height).
IMPORTANT
MIN. THEFT

for an active commercial site, such as a gas station.
Refer to System Commands for opening and

MIN. DELIVERY
Unless deliveries occur with uncommon frequency, this level can be set low enough to flag each delivery.
A typical value is ten gallons (40 liters). Sales, deliveries and thefts can not be distinguished if they occur
simultaneously. Refer to the Reports Section for more details.
73
SiteSentinel
LEAK RATE
The Leak Threshold value is used by the Timed Leak Test. Typical values for the threshold range from
0.05 to 0.1 gallons per hour (0.2 to 0.4 liters per hour).
This range allows the Timed Leak Test to detect volume changes of 0.1 to 0.2 gallons per hour (0.4 to
0.8 liters per hour) in accordance with U.S. EPA standards. For more details about the Timed Leak Test.
see Page 102.
COLD AVERAGE TEMP ON/OFF
Some fuels, particularly diesel, must be kept from “jelling” in cold climates.
Heaters are installed on some tanks for this purpose; the COLD AVERAGE settings control at what
temperature this heater goes ON and OFF. Enter two temperatures to create a range in which the heater
is ON:
When product temperature drops to the Cold Ave. Temp. ON setting, the heater goews ON. When
product temperature reaches the Cold Ave. Temp. OFF setting, the heater goes OFF.
HIGH WATER TIMER
When product is added to a tank, water in the tank will rise temporarily, until the turbulance caused by
delivery subsides.
This timer tells the water float to “ignore” a high water reading for a specific length of time you set. Enter
a value from 0 minutes to 59 minutes.
Entering “0" disables the timer, producing an immediate high-level reading.
74
System Setup
Sensor Thresholds
IMPORTANT
(1) The following require an upper threshold data entry:
Hydrocarbon Vapor: 0.1 volt above normal
Liquid (stand-alone sensor or water-sensing element of interstitial sensor):
0.1 volt above normal
Freon: 0.1 volt above normal
(2) The following have a fixed threshold (no threshold data entry required):
Universal Reservoir:
2.5 volts (upper threshold)
Hydrocarbon Liquid (interstitial and liquid phase): 1.0 volt (lower threshold)
Universal Sump: 2.5 volts (lower threshold)
Water (optional part of liquid phase sensor):
2.5 volts (lower threshold)
(3) A generic sensor must have both upper and lower threshold data entries. Either, neither, or both of these
thresholds can be disabled.
(4) A "normal" present value requires most sensors to be installed and operating in an uncontaminated
environment for at least two hours.
(5) To minimize false alarm indications, threshold alarm delays can be programmed for all types of sensors.
MODULE & POSITION
This choice specifies a module and position for which to enter threshold and/or alarm delay data. Menu
prompts are determined by which sensor was selected when the module and position type were assigned;
prompts for a vapor sensor are shown in the menu above.
Before entering threshold and/or alarm delay data, first assign a module and position to the sensor. After
entering threshold and/or alarm delay data, sensor module positions must also be installed (Page 58).
75
SiteSentinel
After entering the module and position, configuration data (sensor number, description, and present
measurement value from the sensor) is displayed.
IMPORTANT
(1) The hydrocarbon vapor, liquid, and Freon sensors must be allowed to "warm up" for a minimum of two
hours after their physical installation. There must be no contamination of the sensor area during this
period. After warmup, use the present value from the threshold menu for the "normal" value.
(2) When a liquid hydrocarbon sensor (interstitial or liquid phase) 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.
(3) The water-sensing element for the interstitial sensor should be configured as a "liquid" sensor. This type
of sensor detects the presence of water, has an upper threshold, and is dry during normal operation.
(4) The water-sensing element for the liquid phase sensor should be configured as a "water" sensor. This
type of sensor detects the absence of water, has a lower threshold, and is submerged during normal
operation.
(5) For a generic sensor with a normal low operating voltage, set the upper threshold approximately 0.1 volt
above normal and disable the lower threshold.
(6) For a generic sensor with a normal high operating voltage, set the lower threshold approximately 0.1 volt
below normal and disable the upper threshold.
UPPER THRESHOLD
A hydrocarbon vapor sensor requires an upper threshold data entry of 0.1 volt above its normal operating
measurement.
Liquid and Freon sensors require an upper threshold data entry of 0.1 volt above their normal operating
measurement.
A generic sensor may have an upper threshold value from 0.0000 to 4.9999 volts. To disable the upper
threshold value, set it to 5.0000 volts.
The universal reservoir and hydrocarbon liquid sensors have fixed upper thresholds. These thresholds
do not have to be entered and can not be changed.
76
System Setup
LOWER THRESHOLD
A generic sensor's lower threshold value can be from 0.0001 to 5.0000 volts. To disable the lower
threshold value, set it to 0.0000 volts.
The universal sump and water sensors have fixed lower thresholds, which cannot be changed.
CAUTION
If a hydrocarbon liquid sensor (interstitial or

hydrocarbon product, refer to Appendix D for

instructions on drying the sensor. This is
delays.
especially important if the contact is with a
hydrocarbon product other than gasoline
(such as diesel fuel).
IMPORTANT
(1) When a sensor measurement exceeds a fixed or configured threshold, an alarm event occurs. When at
least one alarm method has been programmed to indicate the start of an alarm event, the SiteSentinel
records the following:
(1) the sensor type, module, and position;
(2) the starting time and date of the
alarm event; (3) the ending time and date of the alarm event; and (4) the "worst" sensor measurement
during the alarm event (the measurement that most exceeds the threshold level).
(2) When the corresponding threshold alarm delay is programmed, the SiteSentinel postpones the alarm
indication. To prevent false alarms, the threshold must be exceeded during the entire delay period. The
threshold delay does not affect the starting and ending times and dates recorded by the SiteSentinel.
UT DELAY TO ALARM
The hydrocarbon vapor, liquid, Freon, universal reservoir, hydrocarbon liquid, and generic sensors can
have an upper threshold delay of one to 999 minutes. A typical value for the delay is 180 minutes (3
hours).To indicate the alarm event immediately (that is, with no delay), enter a value of zero for the delay.
LT DELAY TO ALARM
The universal sump, water, and generic sensors can also have a lower threshold delay of one to 999
minutes. A typical value for the delay would also be 180 minutes. To indicate the alarm event immediately
(that is, with no delay), enter a value of zero for the delay.

79
SiteSentinel
Example: a SiteSentinel system is configured for a cylindrical tank with flat ends, a 96-inch diameter
and a nominal volume of 10,000 gallons. A Tank Chart is generated.
Volumes for the tank are then carefully measured at four levels: 24", 48", 72" and 96". These values and
the correspond-ing values from the Tank Chart are listed below:A correction factor cannot be entered
at a level equal to the diameter (or height) of the tank (96" in the example).

Each output device (connected to an optional I/O Module) can be activated by one or more events
(overflow, printer failure, etc.). Because most events are associated with module positions, you can also
select which positions the SiteSentinel will monitor for each event.
For example, you can program the SiteSentinel to activate a light at each tank to signal an overflow.
To signal a probe failure, you can also program the SiteSentinel to activate the corresponding tank light
and to ring an office alarm bell.
IMPORTANT
An alarm must be set to activate an I/O
module relay position.

In this example, you would first select #1 from the EVENT OUTPUT SETUP MENU to specify the I/O
module position. Enter `2E' for the 1st light.
Next, select #3 and choose `OVERFLOW' as the event. Select #4 and enter `1A' for the Smart Module
position of the first tank.
When the overflow occurs, the SiteSentinel closes the I/O Module relay and activates the tank light at
the 2E position. Select #2 to set up the 2E position as `ENERGIZED'. Repeat this process for each of
the remaining tanks, entering the appropriate Smart and I/O Module positions for each tank.
To set up the office alarm, select #1 from the EVENT OUTPUT SETUP MENU to specify the I/O
Module position and enter `2H'.
Next, select #3 and choose `PROBE FAILURE' as the event. Select #4 and enter `1A' for the first tank
module position; select #2 to set up the 2H position as `ENERGIZED'.
Re-select #4 and enter `1B' for the second tank; set up the 2H position as `ENERGIZED'.
Re-select #4 and enter `1C' for the third tank; set up the 2H position as `ENERGIZED'.
MODULE & POSITION
Select this option to specify which I/O Module position to set up for the output device. For example,
to specify an alarm that is connected to the "J" relay of I/O Module #3, you would enter `3J'.
SET UP POSITION
Select this option to set up the specified I/O Module position. You are prompted with the options:
`ENERGIZED' and `NOT ENERGIZED'. Press the [NO] or [N] key to toggle the options. Press the
[ENTER] key when the appropriate option displays.
85

EVENTS
Site Sentinel can detect and respond to 19 different “alarm events,” which are conditions either requiring
attention or simply important enough to be made aware of immediately.
Alarm indication is made with a light (or LED in the Model III) a buzzer (or beeper in the Model III),
a Model II internal printer, or a combination of these three.
The Alarm Setup Menu lists which indication methods are ON for each condition.
The HIGH WATER DURING DELIVERY is solely an enable/disable toggle. See Page 74.
88
System Setup
ACTIVATION
When at least one alarm method has been programmed to indicate the start of an alarm event, the
SiteSentinel records reason for alarm, and starting time and date.
IMPORTANT
For event data to be stored in the history
buffer or included in reports, you must have
at least one alarm set for the event's start.
An alarm must also be set to activate an I/O
module relay position.
When the alarm event has ended (the level drops below threshold, the timed leak test ends, power is
restored, etc.), the system records the time and date and, when applicable, the worst measurement during
the alarm event. The end of the alarm event can be signalled by printing a message with this information
on the internal printer.
In the Model II, the end of the alarm event can be signalled by printing a message with this information
on the internal printer.
Manifolded Tanks: Sales, thefts, and deliveries are reported for the group as a whole; overflow, low
product, high water, and bad temperature events are indicated for individual tanks.When the
corresponding threshold alarm delay is programmed, the SiteSentinel postpones the alarm indication.
To prevent false alarms, the threshold must be exceeded during the entire delay period. The threshold
delay does not affect the starting time and date recorded by the SiteSentinel. You can not signal the
start or end of an alarm event with an external printer.
ALARM SETUP
To enable indication of an alarm, enter the number from the menu.
You are prompted for each of the three methods to indicate the start of the alarm event, `PRN' (print
alarm), `BZR' (sound buzzer), and `LIT' (activate red light); you are also prompted to print a message
at the end of the alarm event. Enter `N' to answer "no;" enter `Y' to answer "yes."
You cannot program the system to print an alarm for printer failure. Power failures can only be indicated
by having a message print when power is restored.
For the "sensor high" event, the sensor types are generic, liquid, hydrocarbon vapor, universal
reservoir, and freon. For the "sensor low" event, the sensor types are generic, universal sump,
hydrocarbon liquid, and water.

5.3.1 Overview
The timed leak test is designed to meet the EPA requirements for monthly leakage evaluation. A timed
leak test should be performed (or scheduled) as often as possible to maximize the timeliness and reliability
of test data. The following apply to the timed leak test:
G At least three temperature sensors must be submersed; this requires the tank to be more than 50% full
(EXCEPTION: If your Timed Leak Test Setup menu has an asterisk in the title like this: - Timed Leak Test
Setup* - only one temperature sensor must be submersed. For these Site Sentinels the tank needs only be 14%
full).
G Nothing should be added to tank for previous 12 hours
G No deliveries or withdrawals to the tank during the test
G Test duration must be at least two hours
G Leak threshold must be set between 0.05 - 0.1 gal/hr (0.2 - 0.4 liters/hr)
When the test is over, results are evaluated and summarized in a report that can be printed. If the
measured leak rate is less than the leak threshold, the report indicates that the tank has passed the test
If the leak rate is equal to or greater than the threshold, the tank fails. Test results are reliable only when
the guidelines are strictly followed. These guidelines must be followed to comply with EPA standards -
95% probability of detection with 5% chance of false alarm.
102
System Setup
IMPORTANT
Anything that allows product to flow into or out of a tank must be sealed off before starting the
timed leak test. This includes, but is not limited to, the drainback (or "check") valve.
For manifolded tanks, you must also physically isolate the tanks from each other. Close the siphon
tube between the tanks. If the tube does not have a valve to seal off the tanks, install one. There
often is a vacuum line from the pump to the siphon tube; this vacuum line also must be sealed off.
If the configuration data for the tank type, diameter or volume are incorrect, the test results will not
be correct either!
After the test is completed, the tank(s) can be unsealed for normal operation.
5.3.2 Test Setup
Press `1' to specify which module and position to test. You may specify only one module and position
at a time.
Press `2' to specify the duration of the test. Four hours is the default value.
Press `3' to select the frequency of the test. The default value is once.
After you have specified the above values, press `4' to place the cursor on the module/position chart.
To start a test, enter `T'. The test will run for the selected duration or until it is aborted (see below).
To abort a test in progress, press `4' and then press `S'. The test is stopped immediately.
IMPORTANT
If the configuration data for the tank type, diameter or volume are not correct, the results of the
timed leak test will not be correct.
If the timed leak test generates a "leak indicated" message, the tank should be retested as soon
as possible.
Never excavate a tank based only on the evidence of the timed leak test.
103
SiteSentinel
5.3.3 Leak Test Results
EVALUATING TEST RESULTS
When the leak rate is negative, this usually indicates a net loss of product from the tank; when the leak
rate is positive, this usually indicates water has leaked into the tank.
When the timed leak test is terminated, the SiteSentinel evaluates the data it collected. It then generates
one of the following messages:
ACTIVITY DURING LEAK TEST - product was added to or withdrawn from tank at a rate greater than one
gallon per minute; the test results are not valid
INVALID CORRECTED VOLUME - tank or probe setup may be incorrect, check tank report to ensure
proper setup data; the test results are not valid
INSUFFICIENT THERMISTORS IMMERSED - less than two thermistors are properly placed in the product
(or water); the test results are not valid.
A thermistor is a temperature-sensing device; there are typically five thermistors in each probe.
INSUFFICIENT VOLUME - the tank is less than half full; the test results are not valid
TEST TOO SHORT - the test period was less than one hour; the test results are not valid
TEST PASSED - the leak rate measured during the test was less than the leak threshold
LEAK INDICATED - the leak rate measured during the test was more than the leak threshold
IMPORTANT
If the configuration data for the tank type, diameter or volume are not correct, the results of the
timed leak test will not be correct.
If the timed leak test generates a "leak indicated" message, the tank should be retested as soon
as possible.
Never excavate a tank based only on the evidence of the timed leak test.
Refer to Page 72 for information on setting the thresholds for tank events (overflow, low product,
minimum theft, sale, delivery, and leak rate).
For event data to be recorded in the SiteSentinel history buffer, you must have at least one alarm method
programmed for activation at the event's start.
This condition must also be met for the data to be included in any report. Refer to Page 88 for
information on the alarm setup. See Page 111 for setup information on the report output and range.

SiteSentinel
GROSS MEASURED TANK VOLUME
This volume is calculated from the position of the product float. This value includes water and product; it
is not corrected for temperature.
NET CORRECTED TANK VOLUME
The gross measured tank volume is calculated and corrected with measurements from the temperature sensors. This
value is the most accurate measure of a sale, delivery or inventory.
GROSS MEASURED PRODUCT VOLUME
This volum
corrected for temperature.
NET CORRECTED PRODUCT VOLUME
The gross measured tank volume is calculated. The water volume is calculated and subtracted from the gross

Chapter 8 - Quick Sale and Delivery Reports
8.1 Quick Sale Report
MAIN MENU L Û
This report can only be PRINTED, so you must have a printer attached to use this feature.
A Quick Sales Report shows sales in progress, or recently completed. Use this function to generate a
"quick ticket".
This report is available for a tank only while product is withdrawn (and for several minutes thereafter,
depending on the size of the sale). If the report is no longer available, you can generate an End of Event
Report.
The report is selected directly from the MAIN MENU. You can be in either normal or privileged mode.
With a quick report you do not have to specify a tank range or position. The SiteSentinel automatically
checks all its probe positions and prints a report for each one currently active. Because of product
turbulence, the values in a quick report may not be exactly the same as those in the corresponding
Individual Event Report.
Quick Reports do not have corresponding computer formats.
