G Page G - 4 Tank Sentinel Operator’s Guide
SEM (TS-SEM) An abbreviation for the external Sensor Expansion Module (BriteBox) for the
connection of 8 leak detection sensors.
SENSOR SYNC A term used to describe a loss of synchronous data from the leak detection
sensor (usually because of a corroded, wet or broken cable wires, or a sensor failure).
SENTINEL MODE The after hours coarse leak test and theft monitoring mode (start and stop
time must be programmed).
SETUP The programming / configuration mode of the Tank Sentinel console. Setup should be
password protected for operation, security, and compliance reasons.
SLOPE The rate of change of product volume within a tank and can be either a positive or
negative (+/-) value. Slope is a value that is used in Tank Leak Testing to determine if a leak
exists or not. Slope is affected by leaks, product evaporation / vent loss, and by physical
interference and temperature fluctuations from dispensing or deliveries. Noise from other
tanks (cross-talk), leaky check valves in product-lines also disturb slope / leak tests results.
STD An abbreviation for a Standard leak detection sensor.
STP An abbreviation for Submerged Turbine Pump (the pump within the tank).
SUMP An underground containment area that is used to collect product spills (leak detection
sensors are usually mounted in these collection areas).
TGI (TS-TGI) An abbreviation for Tank Gauge Interface for / with line leak detectors.
TEMP The temperature of the product (from temperature sensors within the probe that are
submerged below the product level). Sensors above the product float level are excluded from
the probe temperature data set. Related subjects: GROSS, NET, PROBE and LEVEL.
TRANSIENT A term used to describe an instantaneous alarm or fault such as a memory error.
ULLAGE The remaining gross capacity of a tank, or the volume that can be added to the tank
without overfilling it (in gallons or liters). Ullage to full is 95% of the tanks total liquid volume
capacity. Also see CAPACITY.
UST An abbreviation for Underground Storage Tank.
WD TIMEOUT An abbreviation for a Watch Dog Timeout (temporary software failure or power
quality problem... this will occur normally after an EPROM upgrade).
WTR LVL An abbreviation for the WATER LEVEL in the storage tank. This is applicable only
with petroleum based products or similar products, where a second and heavier water interface
float is installed on the probe below the product float. Water level is displayed and printed in
level units (inches, or centimeters).
WTR VOL An abbreviation for water volume in the storage tank (this is applicable only in
petroleum based products... where a second and heavier water interface float is installed on
the probe). Water volume is displayed in volume units (gallons or liters).
