You can get information about fuel (fillings, thefts, fuel level) by e-mail or SMS according to predefined schedule. This information is given in liters only.

To detect fuel fillings and thefts, the appropriate unit settings are used (see Unit Properties –> Fuel Consumption).

Additional parameters to configure this report are:

• Event type: filling, theft, fuel level (all three can be chosen). Fuel level means fuel level at the beginning and at the end of the interval (the interval is set later).

• Method of delivery: by e-mail and/or SMS. On the right, enter your e-mail(s) and phone number(s) in the international format. When all slots to enter e-mails and phones are filled, additional slots appear automatically. Note that if the Can send SMS checkbox is not selected in the user properties, then the corresponding delivery method becomes unavailable.

• Message form: one unit in one message or all units in one message.

• Time offset (in minutes): a parameter which allows you to analyze messages from the black box. In this case, time offset value is subtracted from interval beginning.

If the filling or theft falls on the joint of the intervals, it is possible they will not be determined. For instance, the minimum amount of theft is 15 liters, the schedule of task execution is once an hour (9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, etc.). In this case, if within the last 5 minutes of an hour 10 litres were drained, and 10 more within the first 5 minutes of the following hour, they will fall into different intervals, and the job will not be executed, since each of these thefts does not reach the minimum value. That is why, to exclude a large number of joints, it is recommended not to create a job with a very frequent execution interval. In any case, you can execute a report on fillings and thefts for a day, week, month, etc., which will include all the events.

Upon sending fuel information, the system uses the following data collection algorithm:

• • 1st job execution — data for the interval from an indicated activation time (minus time offset) to the job execution time;

• Subsequent executions — data for the interval from the previous job execution (minus time offset) to the current job execution.

Information on fuel fillings and thefts is sent only in case such events have been detected. Information on fuel level is sent anyway. In case there is no data to detect fuel level, an addressee receives the text Fuel level unknown.

Unit Name
x a/b/c

where

• • Unit Name is unit name as set in unit properties (to save traffic it is recommended to use no other letters but Latin);

• • x — sensor number;

• • a — fuel level;

• • b — fuel filling;

• c — fuel theft.

For example, SMS message

Iveco_1501
1 66/-/-
2 100/-/10

means that according to the first sensor the unit Iveco_1501 has 66 lt of fuel, and no fillings and thefts were detected; according to the second sensor (fuel in the second tank, for example) fuel level is 100 lt, no fillings were found, and 10 lt theft was detected.

Dashes may mean one of the following:

1. 1. The corresponding flag is not ticked in job parameters. For example, it is not chosen to send fuel level.

1. 1. There are no valid data (it may happen with fuel level).

1. Required events were not detected (it may happen with fillings and thefts).

 Note.
Whether fuel volume is sent in liters or gallons depends on the resource settings (where the job belongs) and not on the unit settings.
