Reporting

Reporting Times

Tank monitors and SensorTech’s Data Center can be configured to provide reporting of your tank levels with various timings, or in response to various events or conditions:

• Scheduled: Your tank monitoring system can be scheduled to report at specific times or intervals, from once-a-week to once-every-minute. Less frequent intervals conserve power and reduce communications costs.
• Pseudo-Real Time (PRT): Your tank monitor reports when any noticeable change happens to tank fluid levels. The last stable reading is presented continuously until a significant change. This gives (essentially) the same data as continuous actual “real-time” reporting, without the constant power drain or continuous communications.
• Single-Set Point: Your monitor signals when tank fluid levels pass a specific, user-defined set-point, whether going up or down. This service can be provided with low-cost monitor/sensor systems.
• Multiple-Set Point: Your monitor signals when tank fluid levels pass any of the several, specific user-defined set-points, whether going up or down. This service allows the user to respond to various tank conditions. Typical user settings are for fluid levels corresponding to:
  • Max Fill (The highest level the tank is filled to
  • OK (This is an acceptable level)
  • Low (This level is in need of attention)
  • Critical (This level is in urgent need of attention)
  • Heel (This level is below the minimum usable tank quality, such as below the tank’s tap or drain)
• Pre-Set Rates: Your monitor reports when a specific rate-of-change occurs. This is particularly useful for reporting unusual events, such as tank-filling or excessive consumption or drainage (as with exceptional demand, theft, or leaks).
