Fuel tank theft alarm

Vectec’s fuel tank theft alarm comprises a Metron4 gauge, mains supply with battery back-up, relays for connection to external alarms and inconspicuous housing.

The system is configured to monitor the rate of change of level on a fuel tank. For example, if the rate of change is set at 200 litres in 5 minutes, the system will alarm if more than 500 litres in that time period. This allows normal refuelling to take place but highlights large uplifts represented by thefts.

As well as triggering a local alarm the system generates alert emails 

The system continues to operate if the mains supply is cut, and damage to the probe cable will also trigger the alarm.
