12 Did you know? Michael Debrey got the idea for his Simplex s first product, the Automatic Voltage Regulator, while working as an electrician at a furniture factory on the night shift. Part of his job was to regulate the output voltage of a steam turbine generator by hand. Being a skilled tinkerer, he developed a device to do it for him.

13 3 DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION Overview of Use Capabilities Please refer to your fill controller manual for instructions for setting up and filling tanks Safety Due to variances in tank design, the values are approximate. The SmartPump controls and monitors fuel delivery and storage. The SmartPump consists of three components: a fuel port, which makes it easier to fill storage tanks by providing ground-level access; a fill controller, which monitors and controls filling and delivery of up to 16 tanks (with optional expansions); and a fuel pump, which accommodates gravity fuel trucks by delivering up to 300 GPM. The fill controller, which acts as the brains of the Smart- Pump, allows for remote filling of up to 16 tanks while monitoring their fuel level. After an established limit is reached, the filling is stopped and the operator is alerted. The fill controller allows for multi-tank filling and monitoring, and through sensors in the tanks, displays the fuel level in real time. The SmartPump can fill, monitor, and control up to sixteen tanks. A touch screen provides control and monitoring, while communication options allow for central monitoring from a building management system (BMS/BAS). The SmartPump can be equipped with one of two fill controllers, depending on your needs: 1. The Compact Automatic Fill Controller, which can control one or two tanks 2. The Automatic Fill Controller, which can control one to four tanks and up to 16 tanks with the addition of separately mounted slave panels. The SmartPump is capable of controlling round or rectangular tanks containing Class II liquids, such as diesel fuel. The Smart- Pump s fill controller uses a single motorized ball valve per tank to ensure accurate filling. The SmartPump s fill controller monitors the fuel level in each tank and displays the levels in gallons or percentage. Each tank can be programmed independently for shape, volume, and height as well as low level alarm (%) and refill (%) alert. The default value for the full level is approximately 90%, the default value for the high level is approximately 95%, and the default critical high level is approximately 98%. Description and Specification 9

14 The fill controller can also alert the user when the tank reaches adjustable refill and low fuel levels. The controller also monitors a leak sensor for each tank. When a leak is detected, filling of that tank is prohibited. The fill controller is also equipped with a sump leak detector.
