Now that the Veeder-Root TLS-450PLUS Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) has been approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for In-Station Diagnostics (ISD) certification, there’s a whole new set of fuel management tools available to California retailers.
Retailers there now have access to the next generation ATG that delivers improved operational efficiency, remote troubleshooting ability, and robust reporting options while still providing the high level of reliability the TLS-350 system has been known for.
Here are eight benefits California fuel retailers can expect by upgrading to the TLS-450PLUS.
-
Remote Monitoring and Management: The TLS-450PLUS comes with a wide range of connectivity options that allow you to access and manage critical data easily. Connect anytime, anywhere, with THE PLUS VIEW app, Web-Enabled Interface, and Managed Services, with cloud-based fuel management through Insite360. You can remotely access and configure your tank gauge from your computer, tablet, or cell phone, and get real-time data on your fuel inventories, alarms, and more.
-
Enhanced Security: With increased connectivity, the TLS-450PLUS ATG comes with advanced security features that include strong encryption, configurable user access, and segmented network ports that ensure your network is safe at every level.
-
Lower Cost of Ownership: The TLS-450PLUS provides an expanded, advanced feature set at a lower price point than the TLS-350 console. Upgrading automatically extends the warranty on most connected devices for the duration of the warranty on your new TLS-450PLUS.
-
Expanded Capabilities: The TLS-450PLUS has been designed to be a platform for the future, incorporating frequent software updates, and is expandable as your business grows.
-
Digital Pressurized Line Leak Detection (DPLLD): DPLLD on the TLS-450PLUS provides advanced line leak detection to meet the capacity of growing fuel sites. It performs a 3.0 Gallons Per Hour (GPH) line leak test following each dispense and can perform 0.2 and/or 0.1 GPH line tests to meet your regulatory needs.
-
AccuChart™: The third generation AccuChart utilizes enhanced geometric tank chart modeling with optional restricted tank ranges to perform calibration. Inaccurate tank charts affect inventory and delivery data collected and can contribute to masking actual fuel losses. Chart volumes are calculated using adjustable geometry parameters, which results in higher accuracy and speed in the tank chart creation.
-
Business Inventory Reconciliation (BIR): BIR on the TLS-450PLUS has been enhanced for custom reconciliation needs and meets federal, state, or local requirements. It includes automated reporting on throughput thresholds, delivery thresholds, capacity thresholds, and custom thresholds. This data is then used to reconcile the totals at the end of each shift, day, and month, eliminating human error and reducing labor to reconcile discrepancies.
-
Centralized Device Management (CDM): CDM is a server-based ATG software package that supports remote software upgrades, backups, console snapshot captures, and change management notification for the TLS-450PLUS ATGs.
The Bottom Line
With greater connectivity, enhanced security, and advanced features, the TLS-450PLUS is the perfect platform for the future, ensuring that your fuel management system is always up-to-date and ready to meet your business needs. With CARB's approval, California fuel retailers can now upgrade to the latest technology and stay compliant with all ISD performance requirements.
