tank type Tank Type: Select between the various Tank shapes supported by the TMS. Select Virtual to
use the Tank Channel for either replication or combination or other Tank Channels.
Entry Type: Select List
Range Limits: Flat (FLAt): Flat-ended horizontal cylinder, typically steel
Vertical (VErt): Tank with Vertical walls like vertical cylinders and rectangular
and cubical
Custom 3 (CUSt 3): Symmetrical horizontal cylindrical tanks, typically with
dished ends (fiberglass), with volume calculated using three volumes at
predetermined heights provided by TMS.
Custom 8 (CUSt 8): Assymmetrical vertical tanks including trapezoid and
L-shaped tanks (not common)
Cone (ConE): Vertical Cylindrical tanks with a Conical floor.
Virtual (VrtuAL): Combines up to 6 Tank Channels (1-9) by setting the User-
Defined Name to include the number of each channel in the set. This is done to
provide Product SetPoints for the combined volumes of the tanks in the set. Tank
Replication is also available to provide additional Product SetPoints for a Tank
Channel. Contact Pneumercator for additional documentation on the Virtual
Tank feature.
Default/Initialized value: FLAt
tank CAP Tank Capacity: The maximum actual capacity of the tank being monitored. In general, if the
capacity ends in zeroes, it is the marketing capacity. For example, a tank manufacturer may
identify a tank as a 10,000 gallon tank but the manufacturer’s calibration chart reveals the actual
capacity is 9,841 gallons. Note: If the actual Tank Capacity is 1 million Gallons/Liters or greater,
divide the actual Tank Capacity by 10 and enter here. Also change the Volume Mode to “by 10”.
Entry Type: 6-digit numeric
Range Limits: 0 – 999,999 gallons [0 – 999,999 liters]
Default/Initialized value: 0
ManifoLd Manifold Factor: Primarily used to specify the number of manifolds connecting tanks of equal
size using a single probe. The tanks are assumed to be level with each other. For example, two
tanks would be connected by one manifold (volume calculation doubled), three tanks would be
connected by two (volume calculation tripled), etc. Selecting None would identify the tank as an
isolated tank. This setting is also used as part of a Pump Auto Select feature where the TMS
would select the pump associated with the tank with the greatest volume. Contact Pneumercator
for a separate application document for the Pump Auto Select feature.
Entry Type: select list
Range Limits: None, 1-6, (Comp-A – Comp-F)
Default/Initialized value: none
tank rad Tank Radius: The inside Radius of either a
Flat, Custom 3, or Cone Tank Type. See
illustration at right for inside Radius shown on
Flat or Custom 3 tank types. The inside
Radius of a tank is calculated by dividing the
inside Tank Diameter by two.
Entry Type: 4-digit numeric
Range Limits: 999.9” [9999 mm]
Default/Initialized value: 0.0 [0]
