Plus, reconciliation and adjusted delivery reports can spot sudden losses and short bulk deliveries to eliminate these sources of revenue loss, improving your profitability. Prime Error Sources are Eliminated for Greater Accuracy New and enhanced features in the TLS -350R make Automatic Business Inventory Reconciliation far more accurate than manual methods. Errors and inaccuracies of manual reconciliation, like tank sticking, reconciling data, and hand calculations, are eliminated. Meter readings, deliveries, and daily inventory measurements are gathered automati- cally by the TLS -350R. AccuChartTm Automatic Tank Calibration Another source of errors that plagues manual inventory reconciliation is an inaccurate tank chart. The TLS -350R reduces this error source signifi- cantly using AccuChartTM, Veeder-Root's patented tank calibration algorithm. By comparing metered dispensed volumes with the calculated tank dis- pensed volumes, AccuChart minimizes errors due to tank dynamics, such as tank tilt, deflection and end shape, to create an optimal tank chart for each tank in the system. The automatic calibration process is conducted through the typical operating levels in the tank as fuel is dispensed. Once enough valid data has been analyzed, the tank recalibration is complete. The calibration process typically takes one month. An updated tank chart can be retrieved from the TLS -350R through an RS -232 interface using a computer. The chart will show volumes at 1" inter- vals throughout the height of the tank. Automatic Tank -To -Meter Mapping To correlate metered sales from a hose to the correct tank and product, it is essential to estab- lish the relationship of meters to tanks. In other words, from what tank does the fuel come that passes through each meter? This correlation is called a tank -to -meter map. When a meter is incorrectly assigned to a tank, the product being dispensed through that meter is reconciled against the wrong product. As a result, the reconciliation for two products at the site will never be accurate until the error is cor- rected. The TLS -350R system will automatically assign each product hose to the correct tank, eliminating this unnecessary problem. When dispensing begins, the TLS -350R recog- nizes a reduction in in -tank inventory and is alerted through a Dispenser Interface Module (DIM) that a specific meter is running. When the metered volume data equals an inventory reduction, the mapping feature matches that meter and tank. At a typical retail site, the tank -to -meter mapping should be complete in two days or less. Choice of reports — from the TLS -350R or remote printer The TLS -350R is available with an integral printer, or it can be interfaced with a remote printer. The system can be programmed to print reconciliation reports at the end of a shift, day or period. Periodic reports are programmable to cover up to a 35 -day cycle. They can be set to monthly or to a specific duration in days. Periodic reports also show the calculated variance threshold. Reports can be sent to a remote printer to enhance the reporting capability of the TLS -350R by adding even more reconciliation detail. Recon- ciliation reports from the remote printer can be programmed to print in either column (summary) or row (line item) formats. 0 • 40
