PLEASE NOTE: The information in this booklet comes from third-party evaluations and
from release detection equipment vendors. These sources alone are responsible for the
veracity of the information presented here. EPA does not endorse any specific release
detection devices. EPA has gathered this information from third-party evaluators and
vendors and is distributing it solely to provide LIST inspectors and owners/operators with
basic information. Each user should take the next step of contacting the vendor for further
confirmation or help.

For LIST Inspectors:
How Can You Use This Booklet?
The following pages present "system descriptions" of automatic tank gauging (ATG) systems used
to monitor release detection at underground storage tanks (USTs). As an LIST inspector, you can
use this information to evaluate systems and to educate UST owners/operators. Each
description of an ATG system provides information on how the equipment works, its specifications
and limitations, its operation and maintenance requirements, and how to print and read reports.
Systems Described Here Have Passed Third-Party Evaluation
All ATG systems described in the following pages are taken from the "List Of Leak Detection
Evaluations For USTs," which is maintained by the independent National Work Group on Leak
Detection Evaluations, consisting of State and EPA UST program staff. All ATG systems listed
here have been evaluated by third parties and certified by them to meet the federal requirements
for detecting leaks at a minimum rate and within the prescribed probabilities for detection and false
alarm. In short, if the system is listed here it has been evaluated and passed third-party scrutiny.
You can access the most current "List" at EPA's Web site at
http://www.epa.gov/oust/pubs/ldlist.htm.
Use As An Inspection Tool:
Look Up System Descriptions Quickly
As an UST inspector you face a wide array of release detection devices that you must evaluate to
see if they are installed, operated, and maintained properly to detect leaks efficiently. For any ATG
system you encounter in the field, you should be able to quickly find a system description in the
following pages that will help you evaluate the system's application at the site. Use the table on
pages 4 through 6 to find what page to go to for a system description of a specific leak detection
system (identified by vendor and model name and/or number).
Use As A Compliance Assistance Tool:
Leave System Description With UST Owner Or Operator
You can provide valuable compliance assistance and "education" as you walk the UST
owner/operator through a copy of the system description from the reference manual — note how
the device is used, its limitations, the necessity of following maintenance instructions from the
manufacturer, how to print and read reports, and so on. To help you in this educational task, this
manual includes a two-sided handout ("For UST Owners And Operators") you can copy and leave
at the UST site (see pages 7 and 8), along with copies of other appropriate pages from the system
description.

For LIST Owners And Operators:
How Can You Use The "System Description" Of
Your Leak Detection?
As the owner or operator of an underground storage tank (LIST) system, you should make sure
your vendor or installer provides you with the information and training necessary to guarantee your
release detection equipment works effectively to detect leaks.
If you don't know how your system works, you will fail inspections and may find yourself with
violations and penalty fees. Or even worse, you may find too late that you have had a leak and you
may now have to pay for extensive cleanup of a contaminated site and for damages caused to
others. It is your responsibility to know how to operate all protective devices properly so that you
meet regulatory requirements that protect the environment.
The "system description" of the automatic tank gauging (ATG) system left with you will help you
get started. The outline on the back of this page explains how you can understand each heading in
the system description.
But to really know your equipment, you should contact the vendor listed and make sure you get full
documentation for your leak detection system — such as an owner's manual or schedules for
when recalibration is necessary or when regular maintenance is needed. Also, you should make
use of any training provided by the vendor or someone else that would ensure that you operate
and maintain your system properly.
Special Note If You Have Manifold Tanks: The information provided in the accompanying
system description is largely for single tanks that are not part of a manifold system of
interconnected multiple tanks. If you have a manifold LIST system, you need to look carefully at
your system description to see if it has been evaluated for use with manifold tanks. If you discover
that the ATG system has not been evaluated for manifold tanks, there is still a possibility that it
may work if you can functionally separate the tanks — basically cancelling the "manifold"
interconnection of tanks — which may be possible if the tanks have a valve system or other
mechanism that can isolate tanks for release testing. That's a lot of "ifs," so you must check with
your vendor, installer, or manufacturer, as well as your state regulatory agency, for help in
understanding how you should act in this situation involving manifold tanks.
PLEASE NOTE: The information given to you in the accompanying system descriptions
comes from third-party evaluations and from release detection equipment vendors. These
sources alone are responsible for the veracity of the information presented here. EPA does
not endorse any specific release detection devices. EPA has gathered this information from
third-party evaluators and vendors and is distributing it solely to provide LIST
owners/operators with basic information. Each user should take the next step of contacting
the vendor for further confirmation or help.

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.

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.

Infinity/Continuum IMS: Sample Reports (continued)
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.
To print a Leak Test Report:
> Log on as described above
> Type LEAKLOG 1 after the R> prompt; this will display the results of the four most recent leak
tests, log index numbers (LOG NBR) one through four
To get the results of preceding leak tests, change the number following LEAKLOG. For example,
to obtain the results of the four leak tests that proceeded LEAKLOG 1 results, enter LEAKLOG 5,
which will display results for leak tests with LOG NBRs five through eight.

> 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

Infinity/Continuum IMS: 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

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
most recent alarm events; if an alarm has been triggered, a time will appear beneath the
heading for that type of alarm

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:

Caldwell Systems
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
Sensors
> LIQ: one or more defined sump or interstitial sensors are in alarm
> VAP: one or more vapor sensors are in alarm
> BRN: brine sensor shows low or high level
> LNE: 3.0 gph pressure line leak test has failed
You can view historical alarm and sensor information by requesting from the Tank Manager
system an Alarm History Display (shown below) or an External Sensor History Display. The Alarm
History Display shows the date and time, type and location, and applicable numerical details of the
last seven alarm conditions detected by the system. The External Sensor History Display shows a
graph of one week's liquid, vapor, and brine sensor results. The box on the left hand side of the
display shows the subchannel, type of sensor, and recorded value for each of the sensors. You
can change the set of sensors displayed by pressing the NEXT key, or move between days by
pressing the [ARROW] keys to move the cursor on the graph.

EECO System TLM: Sample Reports (continued)
In addition to the Inventory Status Report, the EECO System TLM will automatically print a
Delivery Report approximately two minutes after the end of a delivery. This report includes the
total gross and net volume added to the tank, plus the starting and ending inventory, but does not
account for fuel dispensed during the delivery process. You can see historical delivery information
by requesting a Delivery Status Report, which provides the date, time, gross and net volume of
each tank for the last 10 deliveries. Delivery reports can help you determine if leak test results
might be affected by introduction of product to the tank during a test, or you can use this data
along with usage data to perform statistical inventory reconciliation to validate the results of in-tank
leak detection tests.
Leak Test Reports
You can set the EECO System TLM to run a leak detection test, program the system to test at
specified times, or set the system to run in a continuous leak detection mode, where the system
will perform a test automatically after product is dispensed. The sensitivity of the leak test you run
is generally set at system start-up.
To run a manual leak test:
» Press CHANGE
» Press LEAK TEST
> Press ENTER twice
» Press CHANGE; "NO" will flash
> Press [ARROW] then ENTER to start the test right away
You can view current and historical leak test information for the tank, line, or interstitial or sump
monitors on the console. To view leak test information on the console:
» Press DISPLAY
» Press LEAK TEST
» Press [ARROW] to select TANK LEVEL MONITOR, LINE LEAK DETECTOR, or AUTO
DISPLAY ALL
To view Event history information on the console:
» Press DISPLAY
» Press HISTORY
» Press [ARROW] to select TLM EVENTS ONLY, LS EVENTS ONLY (leak sensor events), or LLD
EVENT ONLY (line leak detector events)
Each of the above on-screen displays is also available in a printed report. Each time a scheduled
leak test is complete, the EECO System TLM will produce a Leak Test Report. This report shows
the test type, leak rate threshold and confidence level, last delivery, tank capacity, test time and
length, and changes in volume, product temperature, and water level. The report indicates
whether the tank has passed or failed based on the leak rate derived from the data described
above. You can also request this normally automatic report as a Last Test Ran Report.

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 Q 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-200L

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.

Basic System Description:
The basic systems from Marconi and Veeder-Root are essentially identical. Each system is an
inventory and line leak detection system consisting of a console with liquid crystal display,
alphanumeric keypad, and in-console printer. The systems can monitor up to eight single-wall,
underground storage tanks (LIST) and can be configured with various monitoring, reporting,
warning, and alarm capabilities. The systems are equipped with audible and visual alarms,
triggered by in-tank alarm conditions. Any of the in-tank alarm limits can also be tied to relays to
trigger on-site devices, such as overfill alarms, or to shut down submersibles. The Marconi
EMC/PC utilizes the same leak detection software attached to a personal computer. The Veeder-
Root TLS-300C is capable of monitoring one or two double-wall tanks, while the TLS-300i system
monitors up to four double-wall tanks.

Basic System Description:
No information regarding the Hasstech system was provided by the vendor. The Patriot Sensors
7021 and Ronan systems are virtually identical in terms of appearance and operation. Patriot
Sensors 7021 can be set up utilizing either the 7030 or the 7100 series magnetostrictive probes,
though most newer systems utilize the 7100 series. Operation of the 7021 console is not
dependent on the probe type. Both systems utilize an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD)
that provides instant feedback for up to eight tanks, including product gallons, depth in inches and
temperature, as well as alarm warnings and reports. All reports can also be generated in hard
copy with the system printer.
Certified Leak Rates and Thresholds (with magnetostrictive probes):
> Leak rate of 0.2 gph with leak threshold of 0.1 gph
> Leak rate of 0.1 gph with leak threshold of 0.05 gph

Delivery reports can help you determine if leak test results might be affected by introduction of
product during a test, or you can use this data along with usage data to perform statistical
inventory reconciliation to validate the results of in-tank leak detection tests.
Leak Test Reports
Using the Tank Sentinel system, you can manually start a leak detection test, program the
system to conduct tests according to a schedule, or you can program the system to conduct a

"extent"), minimum percent full before SCALD test will run (called "vol qualify"), test start time and
date, sales or product usage rate, amount of product evaporated, amount of product lost out of
vent stack, ratio of EXTENT to total test time (called "duty factor"), time and date of the most
recently completed SCALD test, and leak rate. Generally, this option is used on tanks which
operate 24 hours a day. If Report SCALD is enabled in System Setup, then the Tank Sentinel
system will automatically print a Scald Test Report when a new report is available.

Basic System Description:
The Site Sentinel II manages up to 128 probes or sensors connected to a series of up to eight
Smart Modules. The system can provide continuous leak detection and accept input from a variety
of sensors: liquid, vapor, sump, reservoir, liquid phase, and interstitial. The system also interfaces
with cathodic protection and line leak detection systems, and provides an audible alarm in addition
to a visual alarm indicator on the controller face panel. The Site Sentinel II is operated via a built-
in keypad and display, an on-site terminal or PC, or with a modem, via an off-site terminal or PC.
The system may include a factory installed printer for generating hard copy reports. The Site
Sentinel III offers the same capabilities, but utilizes a compact desktop controller, instead of a
built-in keypad and display. This configuration is designed for remote and unattended monitoring
applications. No information on the Petrosonic III model was provided by the vendor.

Site Sentinel Model II and III: Sample Reports
The functionality of both models is nearly identical. The main differences are in the hardware. The
Model II utilizes a backlit, liquid crystal screen to display tank information, while the Model III
displays tank information on a normal computer monitor. You will see the same menu screens and
reports regardless of the type of display. You will generate printed reports on the built-in printer
(Model II), if it has been installed, or a printer attached to the PC or terminal controller.
The keypad (Model II) has several multi-function keys. The CLEAR/NO key either erases an entry
or field, or answers NO to a prompt. The ENTER/YES key either finishes an entry or answers YES
to a prompt. The HELP key may not be functional on some models. The CANCEL key will back
you out of the current menu, or cancel the previous command. You print most screens by pressing
the ?*-/0 key on the keypad, or by typing P at the terminal. Only screens with PRINT on the bottom
can be printed.

Environmental Monitoring System: Sample Reports
The keypad of the EMS-3500 consists of control keys (gray or red background) and data entry
keys (white background). The control keys are used to display information for selected tank(s) or a
manifold group of tanks, and to obtain printed reports. The data entry keys are used for requesting
information on a particular tank or event. The CLEAR key is used to remove data entered into the
system and to silence audible alarms. The FUNCT. key is used to shift the data entry keys from
numeric to data for viewing tank information on the liquid crystal display (LCD). The TANK key is
used to designate a specific tank for viewing information, or starting ATG leak checks.
The key switch on the EMS-3500 control panel is used to select one of the three operating modes
of the system: Normal, ATG Leak Test, and Maintenance. When the EMS-3500 is in the normal
operating mode, the LCD will continuously display the current time in hours, minutes, and seconds
using a 24-hour format. When requested, the LCD can display the current tank readings, last
delivery information, current alarm conditions, and the time and date.
To display tank information:
> Press TANK, followed by the tank number (using the number keys)
> Press FUNCT., followed by the function key (the number keys) corresponding to the desired
tank information (e.g., product level, temperature, alarms)
Inventory/Status Reports
The Status Report contains the current information on the status of all the probes in the system. It
will also contain current inventory information if the system utilizes ATG probes, as well as any
current alarm/warning conditions. You may print a Status Report any time the console is in the
normal mode of operation.

Leak Test Reports
The EMS-3500 provides four methods in which the console may run automatic tank gauge leak
tests: manual, timed leak test (TLT), automatic leak test (ALT), and remote. Regardless of the
means of activation, the leak test will be terminated automatically by the the EMS-3500 console.
Manual Leak Test
When you put a tank into leak check mode from the console keypad, the test for each tank must
be started individually. This allows some tanks to remain in operation while other tanks are being
tested. The system will automatically end and print out the results of the leak tests once they have
been started. The user may also choose to manually end the leak test, though this may lead to
inconclusive results.
To start the Manual Leak Test:
> Turn the key switch to the ATG LEAK TEST position
> Press TANK, followed by the desired tank number; the display will show the tank number,
followed by an N overlaid by a blinking cursor
> Press the 0(ON) key; Y will appear on the display and a Leak Test Enable Report will be printed;
if the automatic leak test or timed leak test features are enabled, the message, ALT ACTIVE or
TLT ACTIVE, will be displayed and no other action will be taken by the system; these automatic
and timed tests will test the system during quiet (down) time and at regular intervals; reports will
be printed by the system at the completion of these tests
> Return the key switch to the NORMAL position; if the automatic or timed test features have not
been enabled, the system will run the leak test and automatically end the test once completed;
examples of the Leak Test Enable Report and Disable Report (printed at the completion of the
test or when the test has been disabled) are shown below:

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.

TICS-1000: Sample Reports
Once the system is set up properly, all standard system reports (e.g., inventory, leak alarm) can
print automatically. You can view tank and fuel information at any other time by using the keypad.
The system display typically shows no activity (for which the system displays the current date and
time, an alarm condition, or a command in progress). While in the no activity or normal mode, you
can display information on tank levels, volume, etc. While an alarm condition is being displayed,
the system will accept no commands other than ALARM RESET.
The keypad is organized with the command keys in the right-most column. When you need
system information (e.g., tank levels), press DATA. When you want to begin or end a leak test,
press LEAK CHECK. Press ALARM RESET to clear the alarm being displayed. The * key is
reserved for special functions and will otherwise be ignored by the monitor.
To use the keypad, press and hold the desired key until the system recognizes it. The keypad will
function better if the keys are held down longer.
Press the DATA key to access one of the modes of operation. The system will request a category
number between 1 and 5:
1. Display commands
2. Print commands
3. Report commands
4. Profile commands
5. Diagnostic commands
You can view tank information on the local display by selecting mode 1. This mode of operation
will enable you to select from the following information for each tank to display:
1. Product level
2. Water level
3. Average temperature
4. Product volume
5. Combined tank data
6. Contact monitor status
The system will prompt you for the tank number for which the data is requested.
You can print tank information on the internal strip printer by selecting mode 2 (print mode). The
system will accept two commands in this mode (depending on software version, the system may
not accept Command 1):
1. Combined tank information
2. Tank volume table
When you select either command, the system will request the tank number for which the
information is requested. When selected, the combined tank information command will prompt the
system to continuously print new tank information (product volume, water volume, ullage, product
level, water level, and temperature) for the selected tank. You must press CLEAR or ENTER to
stop printing. The key must be pressed and held down until the system recognizes it (the system
stops printing or the screen goes blank).

When you select the tank volume table command, the system prints a table showing the adjusted
volume of the tank at inch increments. The system adjusts the volume to compensate for tank tilt.
It is suggested that you print this report for each tank immediately after startup, and file the report
as a permanent reference, which can be used if the system is unavailable for any reason or the
system is reconfigured.
You can print all system reports at any time by issuing commands in Mode 3: Report Mode.
> From the default display, press DATA; the system will prompt the user for a mode number
> Press 3; the display will then prompt the user for a command:

Leak Test Reports
You can configure the system to run leak tests automatically, or you can manually start a leak test.
To start the leak test manually, ensure the system is displaying the default screen (system time
and date) and press the LEAK CHECK key. The system may prompt you for a PIN code if the
system has been set up to prevent unauthorized access. After you enter a PIN code and press
ENTER, the system begins the leak test. The display shows a running clock to indicate proper
system function in place of the system date and time.
The leak test will run until either 24 hours elapse, or the test is stopped manually. If the test has
been started manually, you must stop it manually. Once a leak test has been started manually, the
system disables scheduled automatic testing until the next day (midnight).
After the leak test finishes, the Leak Report will print automatically. The information in this report
represents the results of the last leak test completed and will not be released until another leak
test completes. An example Leak Report is shown below.
Test results are given on an
hourly basis (gallons leaked
for one hour)(+x.xx = gallons
into the tank, -x.xx = gallons
out of tank, **** = out of
range (more than 9.99)).
Note: The test in the
example shown was run for
only eight hours, thus only
eight lines of data are
displayed.

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.

TICS-1000: Sample Reports (continued)
In the sample report above, Tank 1 shows an average leak rate of -0.04 gallons per hour during
the 8 hour test. Since this is within the limits of a 0.2 gph test, this tank is probably not leaking.
Since this is not guaranteed, further testing should be used to verify the results (by running the
same test again and/or looking at other leak indicators). Tank 2, however, shows an average leak
rate of -3.50 gallons per hour for 8 hours or a loss of 28 gallons from the tank. This would indicate
that either a very large leak exists or that 28 gallons of fuel was dispensed (or stolen) during the
test. The user must resolve the reason for the loss.
Positive leaks can exist. A leak of +0.10 for 8 hours may indicate that 0.8 gallons of water leaked
INTO the tank. This can occur if the tank leak is below the groundwater level.
During the leak test, the system will monitor conditions which can invalidate the test. These
conditions will be printed in the form of status codes at the end of the test. The possible test status
codes are:
01 = No test errors detected
20 = Calculation overflow error (during leak rate calculations)
90 = Product loss error
91 = Product gain error (a delivery was detected)
92 = Water change error
93 = Power failed during test
If the following errors occur, the gallons/hour high and average information will not be printed on
the report:
94 = Not used
95 = Temperature deviation error
96 = Level deviation error
97 = Level probe fail
98 = Tank profile error
99 = Test did not run for more than 1 hour
You can also request a Leak Report while in report mode. At the command prompt, enter 4 and
press ENTER. The system will print a leak report detailing the results of the last leak test
completed. Regardless of how it is generated (following a leak test, or manually), all leak reports
are identical in appearance.

In order to pass a monthly test, a tank's 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 tank's 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.

Leak Test Reports
An In-Tank Leak Test is a 0.10 gph (annual) or 0.20 gph (periodic) leak test to determine if the
tank is leaking. Note: If Averaging was selected during In-Tank setup, the system generates
Average Leak Test Reports instead of In-Tank Test Reports. Averaging takes the last five test
rates and averages them to determine the leak rate.
