Badger Meter Fluid Management System - Manual (Page 40)

Setting Up Tanks and Fluids
Using the software, you can track and monitor tank levels based off work orders . To track this, you first need to add a tank and
its corresponding fluid .
These are the fields of information required to add a tank:
Tank ID The Tank ID field automatically displays the next available sequential ID number . You can also select
available tank IDs from the drop-down menu .
Units The Units field specifies the units of measurement that you use to track the tank level . The choices are
Gallons, Liters, Pints and Quarts .
Fluid The Fluid field specifies the type of fluid in the tank . You can also select existing fluids from the
drop-down menu .
Capacity The Capacity field specifies the total amount of fluid that may be stored in that tank . Enter a numeric
value that corresponds to the capacity of the tank (the value will be in the units you previously
identified) .
Level The Level field specifies the current level of fluid in the tank .
Warning Level The Warning Level field specifies the fluid level at which you would like a warning message emailed to a
particular person . A warning message will appear on any running client screen when a completed work
order brings the tank level down to, or below, the warning level setpoint .
To use this feature, click the check box and enter either a nominal value or percentage (the other value
with self-propagate after you enter the first value) .
Auto Email Check the Auto Email checkbox to bring up a screen to specify email settings for the warning message .
When the tank reaches the specified Warning Level, this email will be sent to the email recipient .
Multiple recipients can be defined . Enter a semicolon ( ; ) between each e-mail address .
