Web Browser Interface Connecting to the Console To use the Web Browser Interface, the console must be connected to a computer. You can connect to the console’s Ethernet connection using an RJ-45 cable. Ethernet Connection: Router or Hub Use network cross-over cable Use network straight cable To set up a connection, from the console: Changing IP settings require administrator sign-on. The numbers you get may be different than shown. Copy these numbers for the next step.
Click Right Click and select Properties Select Properties Click OK after setting properties Enter the numbers from the [Home] Configuration IP Address Settings Page of the console, EXCEPT: Change the IP Address to a different value (i.e. 192.168.168.167) Click OK Open the computer’s internet browser and put the console’s IP address into the address bar of the browser. A screen should open similar to that below.
Web Interface Available Pages The following pages can be viewed in order to see data and perform control functions. Several pages and functions are controlled by access level. If the Auto Refresh action is listed on the Action Bar of a page, then the data on the page does not refresh automatically. Click Refresh on your browser to update the page or click on Auto Refresh to have the screen updated continuously.
Appendix A: List of Alarms FMS Tank/Manifold Alarms Displayed Alarm Description Recommended Actions Correction Table Error Verify that the correction table points for the tank listed with the alarm are entered sequentially in ‘Special Tanks’ Programming. Manifold Gross Leak Detected Correction points for the special tank listed with the alarm were not entered or were entered incorrectly. The manifold listed with the alarm has failed a Gross Leak Test.
FMS Probe Alarms Displayed Alarm Description Float Height A float on the probe listed with the alarm is Error being monitored at a varying height outside of thresholds. Causes can include broken float and programming, or mistakenly associating a gasoline and diesel float. Float Missing A float on the probe listed with the alarm has not been detected or the probe was programmed with the incorrect number of floats.

Appendix C: Compatible Printers Hewlett Packard Compatible Printers Colibri consoles have a standard Type-A USB socket on the bottom of the console. The console uses Printer Control Language (PCL) version 3 or higher protocol developed by Hewlett Packard (HP) to print to external printers. Colibri consoles have two standard Type-A USB sockets on the bottom of the console.
Appendix F - Using the Console’s Autocalibration Feature Using the Autocalibration Feature on an FFS Tank Gauge Introduction Autocal is a feature of the Colibri Tank Monitoring Systems which generates a tank strapping chart in order to accurately calibrate and reconcile your fuel management system automatically. Autocal compares sale of product from dispensers with changes in tank volume.
To See If a Tank Is Autocal Ready • Use the previous month’s DIM Reconciliation Report to look for explanations for the Over / Short status. A typical tank that needs calibration will show a consistently high variance, but not very high. If the Daily Variance is higher than 10% of the sales for that day, then the problem is probably being caused by something that will not be resolved by using Autocal. • Check the Active Alarms and Alarm History for probe problems on the tank to be calibrated.
Starting Autocal When Autocal starts, it will need a reference volume as the starting point for the calibration. The default reference volume will be what the tank gauge is reading at the time that Autocal is started. This reading needs to be as accurate as possible and not higher than the initial volume read by the ATG, in order to produce a quality chart. The Diameter, Length, and Correction Points are what contribute to the default volume’s accuracy.
5. The following message will be displayed “Do you want to enter a reference volume for the autocalibration?” Reasons Why Autocal Would Stop • Power failure • Setup entered • Probe failure • TS-DIM failure • Delivery in Tank under Autocal. Autocal Completion 1. The Autocalibration procedure will stop when the Percent Coverage is reached. 2. Monitor the Daily Reconciliation and Delivery Reports for a few weeks to ensure that they are within tolerance. 6.
