The Scully Truck Identification Module™ (SUPER T.I.M.®) provides a unique serial number to the Vehicle Identification Prover®(V.I.P.®) System control unit feature of the Intellitrol®, allowing the truck to communicate with the terminal during loading. The system is used in conjunction with the Scully tank overfill prevention and vehicle static grounding controls.
A tank truck enters the bay for loading and the driver attaches the loading rack overfill prevention plug to the socket. The serial number in the T.I.M. is read by the Scully Intellitrol or V.I.P. control unit and is checked for vapor tightness certification and other requirements. The overfill sensors and grounding status are also verified. If all safety is met, the truck is authorized to load. Terminal managers may also have the ability to authorized loading of trucks not yet equipped with a T.I.M. or temporary bypass in the event of a systems failure.
