SmartPump

The Simplex SmartPump is a tank fill pump with intelligence. The SmartPump is a factory packaged system for transfer of fuel from gravity trucks to storage tanks and control of filling operations to prevent overfill and allow for full draining of the truck delivery hose. The SmartPump provides a ready means of ground level connection of the fill hose, and captures spills that may occur at the fill point during filling operations. The SmartPump includes a high capacity fuel transfer pump and intelligent pump controls. The unique design and intelligence of the SmartPump allows full and easy draining of the truck fill hose prior to disconnect. The SmartPump detects the 90% level, stops filling operations and activates an alarm. The SmartPump allows the operator to continue filling and/or drain the fill hose up to the 95% level at which time all filling operations are locked out and an alarm is activated. A leak detection circuit prevents filling of leaking tanks. Visual and audible level and leak alarms are provided.

The Simplex SmartPump is available for use with fuel oil (Class-II liquids) or gasoline (Class-I liquids).

Single or multiple tank controllers are available. Multiple Tank SmartPumps allow operator selection of the tank to be filled with automatic lockout of all other tanks.

How it works:

1.	Delivery truck arrives and driver proceeds to SmartPump to make fuel delivery.
2.	Connect ground cable.
3.	Unlock fill box and control box.
4.	Turn on controller.
5.	Connect delivery hose to hose coupling.
6.	Open valve on truck.
7.	Open SmartPump inlet valve.
8.	Open SmartPump outlet valve.
9.	Start SmartPump.
10.	Fuel is delivered to tank.
11.	At 90% level, audible and visual alarm activates and alerts driver, SmartPump stops.
12.	Driver may stop delivery at this point.
13.	Driver can restart SmartPump by pressing “override” pushbutton and pressing “Pump Start” pushbutton. Pump will run for 30 second intervals.
14.	Driver can continue filling or drain delivery hose at this time.
15.	To drain hose, driver closes truck valve and breaks hose connection at tank and allows SmartPump to empty hose.
16.	Driver may restart SmartPump in 30 second intervals, but all filling and hose draining operations must be ended and truck valve closed prior to reaching 95% level.
17.	At 95% level, audible and visual alarm activates and SmartPump stops. SmartPump can not be restarted.
18.	Close SmartPump outlet valve.
19.	Close SmartPump inlet valve.
20.	Disconnect delivery hose and ground cable.
21.	Turn controller off.
22.	Close and lock SmartPump doors.
23.	Proceed to next delivery, where, hopefully, the owner has had the foresight to install a Simplex SmartPump.
