Receipt & Inspection
Upon receipt of register shipment, be sure to inspect the packaging and the register assembly for any damage be-
fore signing the receipt of the shipment. Notify the delivery company about possible damage and refuse receipt of
the shipment.
Registers are individually boxed and are protected with static resistant packing material. Each package is identified
with the register assembly part number, description, serial number. Verify the register model is the correct model,
size, and configuration as ordered. Contact your distributor if there is any discrepancy or question.
Register assemblies should be handled with appropriate methods for the size and weight involved. Appropriate
clothing and shoes need to be utilized. Transport the register package to the installation site with appropriate trans-
portation methods, careful not to damage the register.
Be careful of any loose or protruding staples from the packaging, as they can be very sharp and may potentially
cause injury.
If foam has been used to protect register, carefully remove top foam layer before attempting to remove register as-
sembly from box. Foam packaging maybe formed around the register assembly making it difficult to remove. Do
not lift the register assembly by wires or anything other than the metal body of the register. Do not insert objects or
cables into the register unless stated. Removing register assembly from packaging without adhering these warn-
ings may cause serious injury to you and/or the register.
Appropriate precautions should be taken regarding any personal, environmental and material compatibility with the
end use system.

Introduction
The TCS 3000 register is a fully integrated custody transfer flow computer that will control a majority of the
vehicle delivery operations. The Open Software Architecture provides the option of a simple “Pump & Print”
delivery or a custom measurement solution. The TCS 3000 features a 4.5”x 3.5” full color VGA display
screen, multiple delivery screens and a flexible mounting with backlit alpha-numeric keypad for the user inter-
face. Software features offer complete flexibility of delivery screen information and view, preset, price/tax, tick-
et format and password protection. Available in flexible mounting configurations of 75 or 90 degree displays
for meter mounting, and a remote mounting.
As a flow computer with open software architecture, there will always be a need to add features to the register
as the industry applications evolve. Therefore please be reminded to contact the factory for periodic updates.
Optional GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Cellular capability enables the TCS 3000 to improve your product security
and ease access to your delivery data to reduce your operation costs. Many additional features are available
(multiple product delivery, additive injection, density/temperature correction, multiple valve & pump control,
etc.) to enhance your measurement solution.
TCS 3000 - This manual will help guide you with the setup confirmation and calibration of the register. Addi-
tional information will be provided for wiring instruction and auxiliary devices to integrate into the register.

6) CONNECTIVITY Connectivity is used for accessory communication settings
Network Settings
Interface Bridge Interface is for handheld communication. An interface is required for this setting.
You must Enable or Disable the Interface Bridge accordingly.
Address Device Address will assign the TCS 3000 the unique address within the Daisy
Chain communication sequence. It is recommended to assign addresses as follows:
- Primary Host will always be number one (1)
- Client Address range will be programmed from two (2) through eight (8).
NOTE: Client Address range can reach as many as one hundred and twenty seven (127),
however this will slow the processor down. Eight is recommended number of registers
in the daisy chain.

To compute the change in volume for a temperature change for a given
liquid, use the following formula:
To convert from Coecient of Expansion per Degree Fahrenheit to
Celsius, mulply the value per Degree Fahrenheit by 1.8
(Δt)(Coecient of Expansion)(100) = % change in volume

Mass Density To provide a manual calculated Mass value, determine the value to input Mass
Density and press ENTER. NOTE: only provide value if not using a Densitometer.
Mass = Weight per Volume
Pump Control & Timing Enable/Disable Pump Control and select ENTER.
- Pump is an Optional Output Control
- Enabled means that the pump control will energize a PTO or Hydraulic Drive
during a truck delivery.
- Disabled means that the pump control is not active and will not energize.
Pump Speed Control 1 is a solid state voltage output signal based on a flow
rate setting. Flow rate setting of zero (0) is disabled. Utilizes the Pump Starter
terminal. NOTE: Pump Speed Control overwrites the Additive Pump setting.
Pump Speed Control 2 is a solid state voltage output signal based on a flow
rate setting. Utilizes the Reset terminal. Flow rate setting of zero (0) is
disabled.
Pump Starter to enter the Start Duration time in seconds for pump to energize
while the preset valves (S1 & S2) stay closed, then press
ENTER.
Pump Starter Advance is Not available at this time.
Pump Stabilization is used to enter how long you wish the Pump Starter
stays powered. Enter value in Seconds and press ENTER.
Valve Type
Select whether you are using a Single or Dual Stage Valve and press ENTER.
- A SINGLE Stage valve will energize valve with Solenoid 2.
- A DUAL Stage valve will energize valve with Solenoids 1 and 2.
1101 Both S1 and S2 energize at the beginning of delivery and near the end of the
delivery S1 shuts off and S2 is still operating.
1001 At the beginning of the delivery the S1 valve opens energizes while the S2
remains closed. When the preset slow flow bypass begins, the S1 valve closes
and the slow flow bypass valve S2 opens until the end of the delivery.
S1 - S2 Delay Timing of the S1 valve opening at the start of a delivery. Enter S1 time value
(minimum of 3 seconds).
Maximum Flowrate Input the maximum rated flow of flow meter and press ENTER.
NOTE: this value is critical to the Valve actuation!
S2 Flow Timing of the S2 valve closure rate. Enter S2 time value (minimum 0.3 seconds).
