This configuration describes a system for monitoring fuel storage and dispensing at petrol/diesel filling stations (stationary fuel storage tanks + dispensers), using Omnicomm-compatible sensors, telemetry, and cloud-based monitoring. It enables accurate fuel-stock accounting, real-time tracking of dispensing events, leak/drain detection, automatic alerts, and historical reporting — making it useful for fuel retailers, fleet depots, corporate garages, or fuel storage depots.

A solution for petrol stations can include at least explosion-protected LLS-Ex 5 sensors installed in the tanks, a GPS tracker and a monitoring platform. In addition, an ICON display, an end switches for access control, etc. can be optionally available.

Typical Equipment Configuration

Why These Components Are Recommended

	OMNICOMM LLS-Ex 5 is the explosion-proof variant of the OMNICOMM LLS 5, designed for use in large tanks and facilities with stringent safety requirements — such as fuel storage depots, gas stations, and bowsers.​ This device must always be operated in conjunction with the BIS-MX power protection unit, installed in a safe zone.​ Certified by ATEX, the LLS-Ex 5 is approved for use in hazardous environments where flammable substances pose an explosion risk. Its robust design ensures compliance with safety standards across multiple industries, safeguarding both personnel and infrastructure.​
	BIS-MX intrinsic safety unit is designed to protect circuits when exposed to a voltage of up to 250 V. LLS-Ex 5 fuel level sensor is located in a hazardous area, and BIS-MX should be located in the explosion safe area.
	KTZ-MX is the extension cable, with options from 10-15-20 meters, to connect LLS-Ex 5 (located in hazardous area) to BIS-MX (located in the safe zone).
	OMNICOMM Profi Wi-Fi is an IP54 rating GPS-tracker that ensures stable data transmission in remote and challenging locations without cellular coverage. By using Wi-Fi for data transfer, the tracker enables effective monitoring even in areas where traditional communication methods fail. This solution is ideal for agricultural, construction, and mining industries, ensuring continuous tracking and reliable operation in the absence of cellular networks.​ The OMNICOMM Profi Wi-Fi tracker enhances fleet control in the most challenging environments. Combined with the OMNICOMM Online platform, it provides reliable connectivity and accuracy, improving fleet management and reducing the risk of losing control over assets.
	OMNICOMM ICON is a modern multifunctional display designed to show key vehicle performance parameters in real time. ICON provides drivers with timely and clear information, improving control over fuel consumption, speed, engine operating modes, and other critical indicators. The display integrates with the vehicle monitoring system, optimizing equipment use and enhancing safety. ICON is used together with OMNICOMM GPS trackers and/or up to 4 LLS digital fuel level sensors and reads the data through the RS-485 digital interface.​ ICON helps transport and logistics companies monitor vehicle operation, reduce fuel costs, and prevent emergencies.

Key Advantages and Strengths:

• Fuel-level sensors provide precise measurement of volume in storage tanks, reducing reliance on manual dip-sticks or periodic manual measurements — improving accuracy and consistency over time.
• Automated logging of fuel dispensing (via flow meters on dispensers) ensures that each liter dispensed is counted, correlated with fuel-stock decrease, enabling transparent reconciliation between stock and issued fuel — reducing losses from theft, leaks, or mis-dispensing.
• Real-time monitoring and alerts: threshold notifications (low-stock, high-dispense volume, sudden volume drop — potential leak or unauthorized draining) help maintain safety, compliance and operational continuity.
