Abstract
The disclosure relates to monitoring systems and methods. A first aspect relates to a monitoring system for use when loading fluid from a source tank to a destination tank via a loader apparatus, the monitoring system having: a first input for coupling to the source tank in order to receive a source tank input signal; a second input for coupling to the destination tank in order to receive a destination tank input signal; a sensor input for receiving a sensor signal from a fill level sensor in the destination tank; circuitry configured to determine: a first status of an electrical continuity between the loader apparatus and the source tank in accordance with the source tank input signal, a second status of an electrical continuity between the loader apparatus and the destination tank in accordance with the destination tank input signal, and a fill level status in accordance with the sensor signal; and a single user interface for displaying the first status, second status and fill level status.
