Important Safety Messages
FFS equipment is designed to be installed in association with volatile hydrocarbon liquids such as gasoline and diesel fuel. Installing or
working on this equipment means working in an environment in which these highly ammable liquids may be present. Working in such
a hazardous environment presents a risk of severe injury or death if these instructions and standard industry practices are not followed.
Read and follow all instructions thoroughly before installing or working on this, or any other related, equipment.As you read this guide,
please be aware of the following symbols and their meanings:
This symbol identies a warning. A warning sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially hazardous
situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous situation may
involve the possibility of severe bodily harm or even death.
This is a caution symbol. A caution sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially hazardous
environmental situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous
environmental situation may involve the leakage of fuel from equipment that could severely harm the environment.
This symbol identies an electrical danger. An electrical danger sign will appear in the text of this document when a
potentially hazardous situation involving large amounts of electricity may arise if the instructions that follow are not
adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous situation may involve the possibility of electrocution, severe bodily harm, or
even death.
Follow all applicable codes governing the installation and servicing of this product and the entire system.
Always lock out and tag electrical circuit breakers while installing or servicing this equipment and any
related equipment. A potentially lethal electrical shock hazard and the possibility of an explosion or re from
a spark can result if the electrical circuit breakers are accidentally turned on during installation or servicing.
Please refer to the Installation and Owner’s Manual for this equipment, and the appropriate documentation
for any other related equipment, for complete installation and safety information.
Follow all federal, state and local laws governing the installation of this product and its associated systems.
When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A and 70 from the National Fire Protection
Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious property damage and/
or environmental contamination.
When the Fuel Management System system is used to monitor tanks containing gasoline or other ammable
substances, you may create an explosion hazard if you do not follow the requirements in this manual
carefully.
All wiring from probes or sensors to the console must be run in conduit separate from all other wiring.
Failure to do so will create an explosion hazard.
Product Overview and Theory of Operation
The TS-RA1, and TS-RA2 are remote audible and visual alarm units that are used with Fuel Management System consoles. The TS-
RA1, TS-RA2, and the TS-RK Tank Overll Alarm and Alarm Acknowledge units are mounted near the tank lling site. If the tank
product level reaches the FMS overll alarm setpoint, then the Tank Overll Alarm will become active. An active Tank Overll Alarm
alerts the tank lling attendant to immediately stop the lling operation before a spill occurs. The TS-RK is an optional remote alarm
acknowledge unit. This unit gives the tank lling attendant the means to silence a Tank Overll Alarm at the lling site. The TS-RK is
required when a TS-RA1 or TS-RA2 is connected to a T5 series Fuel Management System console or a Colibri Automatic Tank Monitor.
When in an alarm condition, depressing the acknowledge button on the TS-RK will silence the Tank Overll Alarm at the tank lling site.

Installation
Overview
The mounting location of TS-RA1, TS-RA2, TS-RK units should be based on: cable run length, ease of conduit routing,
alarm light visibility, alarm horn audible range limitations, and the distance away from hazardous areas. In addition, the
following limitations and requirements must be met.

Figure 1: TS-RA and TS-RK Installation Overview
• The location of the Tank Overll Alarm and Alarm Acknowledge unit enclosures must be less than 1000 feet away from
the 120 VAC electrical power (source) panel.
• The TS-RA1, or TS-RA2 Tank Overll Alarm unit should be mounted near the fuel tank lling area.
• The alarm light must be visible and the alarm horn must be audible at the fuel tank lling area.
• These units should be mounted in a protected location that minimizes exposure to direct sunlight, snow and rain.
• The TS-RK Tank Overll Alarm Acknowledge unit should be accessible to the tank lling attendant. Access to the TS-RK
from the lling area must be clear with no obstructions.
DO NOT install the Tank Overll Alarm, or Alarm Acknowledge units in a volatile, combustible, or
explosive atmosphere. Failure to do so may create an explosion hazard.
Run wiring from the Tank Sentinel console to the TS-RA1 / TS-RA2 Tank Overll Alarm, and TS-RK
Alarm Acknowledge units in separate conduit apart from any other wiring. All conduits must enter
through supplied non-intrinsically safe enclosure knockouts only. Failure to do so may create an
explosion hazard.

Setup and Operation
Set up the console so that the alarms operate properly:
1. Identify the relay that is being used to activate the overll alarm equipment.
2. Navigate to the setup programming of that relay.
3. Conrm that the relay is programmed according to the following:
• Name: Overll Alarm Relay (or similar).
• Enabled: Yes
• Type: Alarm
• Polarity: Normal
• Logic: OR Logic
• Physically Wired As: Normally Open
• Number of inputs: 0
NOTE: If you have a legacy console, refer to the associated programming manuals for specic information.
4. Make sure the rule activates the overll alarm equipment when a HIGH or HIGH HIGH tank alarm occurs. Go to
the Rules section of programming:
• Rule: Overll Alarm Activate (or similar)
• Name: Overll Alarm Activate (or similar)
• Enabled: Yes
• Events
• Event: Type Alarm Occurred
• Category: FMS
• Device: Tank
• Device ID: Any
• Code: High high product level
Actions
• Action Type: Relay
• Module: Power Supply Module
• Channel: Overll Alarm Relay
• Action: One Pulse
• Duration: 2
NOTE: Legacy consoles that do not have the One Pulse option must incorporate two seperate actions. One action to
activate the relay, the second action to deactivate the relay.
NOTE: Verify that the code you select sounds the alarm at the correct volume/limit set for each tank.
NOTE: Verify that the code you select refers to the correct High High or High product threshold. You can conrm the units
in which the High and High High thresholds are measured under Fuel Management Systems/High Product Limit.
5. Force the tank into the High or High High Alarm by manually raising the product oat beyond the threshold and
conrming the Overll alarm sounds. Press the acknowledge button on the TS-RK to silence the alarm.
Testing the Alarm Wiring
Use the following procedure to verify that the tank Overll Alarm is wired correctly. If the Setup and Operation procedure
does not produce an Overll Alarm, use the following procedure to verify that the issue is not caused by improper wiring.
1. Go to System/Diagnostic/Relay Status.
2. Select the Activate/Deactivate checkbox for the Overll Alarm Relay (or a similar relay). The Active indicator
becomes GREEN for the associated relay.
3. Make sure the Overll Alarm is activated.
a. If the Overll Alarm is activated, the wiring is correct. Clear the Overll Alarm Relay checkbox to deactivate
the relay. Press the acknowledgment button on the TS-RK to silence the alarm.
b. If the Overll alarm is not activated, there is an issue with the wiring. Clear the Overll Alarm Relay checkbox
to deactivate the relay. Consult the TS-RA1, TS-RA2, TS-RK installation manual for information about proper
wiring.
NOTE: If you have a legacy console, refer to the associated programming manuals for information about manually
activating relays.
