SECTION 1 –PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
1.1 GENERAL SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This document covers the operation of the TMS4000 using the touch screen interface. A few
additional details are visible on the face of the TMS4000 as shown below. Below the integrated horn
in the top left corner are three LEDs. From top to bottom, these are the Green Power LED, Green
Normal Status LED, and Red Alarm Status LED. The Alarm Status LED will blink for new alarms.
Once the TMS alarm has been acknowledged using the Acknowledge button (Bell icon) in the top
corner of the touch screen, the Alarm Status LED will not blink and will stay on until the alarm condition
is satisfied. Once the alarm condition is satisfied, the Alarm Status LED will be off and the Normal
Status LED will be on. Below the LEDs is the Day/Night sensor used to detect the ambient light and
automatically adjust the screen brightness, when enabled.
The touch screen is the primary interface for viewing real-time status of tank probes, sensors, and
contact closure inputs. Additional access is provided for viewing system reports, changing the system
Configuration, and upgrading the TMS firmware.
This manual was written referencing TMS4000 firmware version 10.044. Although some screen
shots may vary between firmware versions, the principle of operation remains the same. Contact
Pneumercator for any firmware version specific questions.

1.2 MAIN SCREEN
Scroll to next set of buttons using down arrow in bottom left corner.
Single Large Meter with Product and Water Bar Graphs shown
The above screens show the Main screen for the TMS4000. The buttons along the left edge provide
access to different features that are described on the pages to follow. Above the buttons are shown
the current date and time. The display to the right of the buttons show a large meter representing
Tank 1, Gross Volume; a tabular display capable of displaying a minimum of 12 rows containing tank
information without scrolling vertically; and a bar graph at the bottom showing bars for both
percentage of tank volume and water level. The real-time display can be customized to suit your
preferences as described in the following section.

1.3 ALARM ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Clicking on the Alarm Acknowledgment button (shown with a Bell icon) in the top left corner of the
Main screen will silence the integrated horn and present the screen shown below. This provides the
means of viewing the current Alarm/Event status and contains four different buttons on the left edge
for acknowledging different categories of Alarm/Event conditions. The conditions that may be
acknowledged in each button are listed below the screenshot.
General Acknowledgment: Represented by a bell icon without supporting text. The list of common
conditions that may be acknowledged include:
•Tank Product Set Points
•Tank Water Set Points
•Tank Temperature Set Points
•Leak/Point Level Sensor Alarms
•CC Inputs
Leak Acknowledgment: The bell icon shown with LEAK below it is used to acknowledge a Failed
In-Tank Leak Test. Once acknowledged, the failure will be removed from the list and will no longer
cause the Alarm LED to be lit.
Theft Acknowledgment: The bell icon shown with THEFT below it is used to acknowledge a theft of
product from a tank. Theft is an optional feature that must be enabled through the system
configuration. Details are provided in a later section.
System Acknowledgment: The bell icon shown with SYSTEM below it is used to acknowledge
system Events. These include Probe Timeout, Probe Sync, and Sensor Fault Errors.

1.6 PRINTING
Many details may be printed from a TMS4000 equipped with a printer. A print button will be visible
wherever printing is available. The information that can be printed includes the Reports and System
Configuration. The below screen capture displays the options for the Print button accessible on the
Main Screen. The reports accessible via this Print button are as follows:
•Print Status: This prints the full system status reports including the states of all enabled
tanks/probes and leak/point level sensors
•Print Inventory: The current Inventory displayed on the TMS4000 will be printed. This does
not print the contents of the Inventory Report. To print the Inventory Report, simply go to the
Reports button and click on the Print button. Other Reports may be printed in a similar fashion.
•Print Inspector Report: Combines the Status and Inventory Printouts into a single Report. This
may either be printed or exported as a PDF.
•View Print Jobs: View the printer queue showing pending or active print jobs.

window can be disabled altogether. The individual meters may be further customized from the real-
time screen as described later in this section.
Grid Column Selects: The specific columns presented on the tabular display may be selected here.
If more columns are selected than fit on the width of the display, the user may scroll by dragging their
finger left-right across the tabular display. Note that the Tank ID, Tank Name, Status, and Alarms
columns cannot be disabled.
•Gross Volume: Temperature Uncompensated volume
•Net Volume: Temperature-Compensated Volume.
•% Volume: Gross Volume/Tank Capacity x 100%.
•Ullage: Maximum delivery amount. See the Header section in Configuration for details on
adjusting the maximum fill point.
•Product Height: Total height of liquid. For O/W Separator tanks, this is a measurement of the
oil height.
•Water Height: Bottom water height or total water height for O/W Separator Tanks.
•Product Temperature: Volume-weighted average liquid temperature.
Bar Graph Format: Choices for configuring the bar graph are as follows:
•Disabled
•Product Only

Screen Appearance: This section offers settings for configuring the Day/Night Mode, Screen Save,
and Brightness features as described below:
Day/Night: The LCD screen has two different color schemes to improve visibility for both Day and
Night conditions. This feature can be set to automatically toggle between these two schemes using
the information from the Day/Night sensor on the face of the TMS4000 or may be manually toggled
by clicking on the Moon/Sun icon.
Screen Save: Dims the LCD to 3% brightness after a five-minute time delay. The screen is
reactivated when the screen is touched or if an alarm or activity occur.

1.8 TOUCH SCREEN CALIBRATION
Note: Only applies to First Generation Resistive LCD Screens ONLY
The ability to recalibrate the touch screen is available in the event the user’s touch does not match
where the system responds to the touch. It is NOT recommended to perform this without contacting
Pneumercator Technical Support. Note that you will need a stylus to properly recalibrate the screen.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in the screen being unresponsive and require parts be
returned to Pneumercator as directed by Pneumercator Technical Support.
Touching the Touch Cal button will show the above notification screen.
Follow the onscreen instructions above to complete the calibration. The calibration MUST BE
COMPLETED to exit this screen.
