Wireless probe system and method for a fueling environment

摘要

A fueling environment is equipped with leak detection probes and liquid level probes. Each of the probes is associated with a wireless transceiver. The wireless transceivers send probe data to a site communicator wireless transceiver. To ensure that the site communicator receives the probe data, repeaters are used within the fueling environment. The repeaters receive the probe data, and some period of time after the sensor transceivers stop transmitting, the repeaters retransmit the probe data to the site communicator. The site communicator discards duplicative information and processes the probe data as needed.

主权项

1. A wireless communication system in a fueling environment at a fuel dispensing site, comprising:
a first sensor adapted to detect a condition in the fueling environment; a first wireless transceiver associated with said first sensor; a repeater positioned in the fueling environment for repeating transmissions from the first wireless transceiver; and a second wireless transceiver associated with a site communicator at the fuel dispensing site, wherein said site communicator receives data from said first sensor through said first wireless transceiver, said repeater, and said second wireless transceiver.
