Figure 7-19. Setup Fuel Products Dialog Box

1. In the Name field enter the product’s name

2. In the Code field, enter the identification code

3. Click on the Product color square to select a color palette. The color is used in trend

graphic reports

7-8.3.2. Defining a Base Product

If defining a fuel product:

4. Set the Reorder level alarm. The alarm is triggered as soon as the total volume level in all

tanks that contains this product falls lower than the set value. See Alarms setup for more

information on alarms and dead band definition

5. Set the Dead band in % for this alarm. Dead band is a technique used to eliminate noise

when generating alarms. Each alarm defined by an analog threshold value, has also a dead

band defined in percentage.

The alarm is not activated or stopped at the nominal value, but at the addition of the +/-

percentage value of the dead band. For example, considering an alarm set value of 100 with

a dead band of 5%: the alarm is triggered (delayed) when the value is higher than 105, and

stops similarly when the value is lower than 95

6. In the Density field, enter the nominal density of the fuel. Enter zero (0) if not applicable
