37. 37 Theft alerts GaugerGSM supports theft detection alerts by examining the rate of liquid consumption. Determine the rate which would be considered as inappropriate in units of level per minute (e.g. mm/min) or volume per minute (e.g. liter/min) and modify the deviation number accordingly. Limits are defined in the chapter: “Configuration with PC”. Rates lower than 4mm/min may cause excessive false alerts. Therefore, entries lower then 4mm/min will automatically be converted to 4mm/min. It is recommended to experiment with the specific tank and environment with this figure until no false alarms are transmitted. Alert SMS will be transmitted within a minute following detection of an inappropriate consumption rate. Alert SMS will be sent once a minute as long as the excessive consumption rate is detected. This may aid the user in determining the duration and persistence of the implied theft. Theft alerts co-exist with periodic alerts and with Full and Empty alerts. Item in reference guide chapter IX
