2 PSS 5000 Applications
Overview of PSS 5000
applications
How a PSS 5000 is integrated into a petrol station forecourt and some of the
necessary considerations are described in the following topics:

2.1 Basic Scenarios for the PSS 5000
Situations for the PSS
5000
The PSS 5000 is a versatile tool that enables you to control many types of op-
erations taking place on the forecourt. The basic processes are covered by the
simple scenarios listed below:
• Attended, stand-alone system
• Unattended, stand-alone system
• Attended, integrated with a POS system
Attended, stand-alone A simple example of an attended, stand-alone system where the PSS 5000 pro-
vides wet stock control is shown below:
Note: The term stand-alone is used when a POS is not present in the system.
In this scenario, the PSS 5000 is used to provide transaction data to the Tank
Gauge System (TGS) so it can verify that all the wet stock movements are le-
gitimate.
The functionality of the attended, stand-alone site can be extended when a
head office application, such as Site Info, is introduced. This enables price
changes and similar services to be implemented remotely from the head office.
