DISCLAIMER
STEP 1 of this document is to serve as general instructions for installing an RS-232 Serial
Communication Card into a VeederRoot TLS-350 or similar ATG console. It is recommended to
have a trained professional do this installation. Teton Technology is not liable for any property
damage, down time, or loss of data, due to misuse of these instructions or faulty equipment.
Powering down the ATG console can lead to loss of data and programming. It is important to
make a copy of the system programming before powering anything down.
IMPORTANT!
1) Create a system backup of your ATG system.
2) Power down the ATG before unplugging or plugging in any Comm Card.
3) Know how to recover from potential loss of ATG programming.
INSTALLATION
STEP 1 - INSTALL RS-232 COMM CARD
*Note: Installing may not be required if the VeederRoot console already has an
RS-232 Serial Comm Card that can be utilized. RS-232 Serial Comm Cards may be
installed in comm slots 1, 2, or 3 only.
1) Print a System Backup Receipt
Press the front panel “MODE” key until you see the display below:
Press the PRINT key to print out a SYSTEM SETUP report. After printing the setup
report, press MODE until you return to the operating mode main screen. Save the
printed setup report. This report contains a record of all setup values entered
into this console. This may be needed if step 3 is not done correctly or the battery
backup malfunctions.

2) Open Printer Cabinet
Open the left-hand door of the console by unscrewing the left-top and left-bottom
Torx screws. See image below.
3) Check Dip Switch Settings
a) Ensure that the Battery Backup switch is set to “ON” (up). See dip switch
location on page 13.
b) Ensure that switch 2 is switched to the OFF (open position). See dip
switch location on page 13.
c) To install the new Comm module, first remove the cover plate from an open
slot in the communication compartment. If your console has a snap connector
which secures the cover plate in the card cage, pull it out and lift out the cover
plate.

STEP 2 - CONFIGURE PORT SETTINGS:
Note: If “Communication Setup”, cannot be accessed by the following
instructions, flip the dip-switch 4. This will override the system allowing access
for 30 minutes.
1) Print Port Settings
Starting from the main overview on the Veeder Root.
Press “Mode” until you see “Setup Mode”.
Press “Function” until you see “Communications Setup”.
Press “Step” until you see “Port Settings”.
Press “Print”.
The printed “Port Settings” receipt should have a section that describes the RS-232
port settings. The settings must be configured as below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORT SETTINGS:
COMM BOARD : X (RS-232) X = The port number
PARITY : NONE
STOP BIT : 1 STOP
DATA LENGTH : 8 DATA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your printed receipt matches the settings above for the appropriate port,
skip to step 3. If they do not match, you must update them using the steps
below:
2) Program Port Settings
a) While still in “Port Settings” Press “Enter”.
b) Press the “Tank/Sensor” button until the correct RS-232 com board is selected.
Example: ”COMM BOARD : 2 (RS-232)” indicates configuring port 2.
c) Press the “Step” button to cycle through each of the port settings.

d) To change a setting, press the “Change” button until the correct value is shown
then press “Enter” to save changes.
e) Press the “Step” button to continue to the next setting. Continue to change and
save the settings until the values match the settings above.
f) Print port settings again to ensure that the correct values were saved. The
VeederRoot does not always save the settings the first time! Make sure to
print to verify the settings are correct or the device will not work. If they are
incorrect, walk through a) → f) until they match.
g) Exit Port Settings by pressing the “MODE” key until the screen shows the date
and time.

Step 3 - NETWORK CONNECTIONS
Ethernet Connection
The fuel manager device is capable of connecting to a network via its Ethernet Port,
WiFi, or both. The device defaults to using the ethernet port and uses WiFi as backup if
both are connected.
On power up, the device will search for and try to connect to an available network over
the Ethernet port. If there is no connection, the device will try to connect to a saved
WiFi network. If there is no saved WiFi network OR the device is unable to connect to
the saved WiFi network, it will go into Setup Mode (Blinking Blue) allowing the user to
enter new WiFi Credentials.
1) Plug an Ethernet cable into an appropriate LAN port on your network.
2) Plug the opposite end into the Fuel Manager device.
3) The status LED should briefly blink green as it is connecting.
4) Connectivity to the internet will be verified by the status LED fading either yellow
or cyan. See Status Light Key.
WiFi Connection
1) Put Device In Setup Mode
Setup Mode is a state where the Fuel Manager device hosts its own WiFi
network named “Fuel Setup” to allow a wifi device such as a smartphone or
computer to connect to it and configure local WiFi settings and is indicated by a
blinking blue LED.
On powerup, the Fuel Manager device will enter Setup Mode if it does not have
previously saved WiFi and if it is not connected via the Ethernet Port.
If the device already has an internet connection via the Ethernet port or WiFi, the
device will not go into Setup Mode unless the Mode button is pressed.
Press and hold the mode button for 2 seconds to force the device into Setup
Mode if needed. Verify Setup Mode with the blinking blue light.

2) Once in Setup Mode, go to WiFi settings on a wifi device such as a smartphone
or computer and connect to the “Fuel Setup” network. No password is needed.
Once connected, your wifi device should launch the “WiFi Manager” as shown
below. Select “Configure WiFi”.
WiFi Settings On Device WiFi Manager
The configuration portal should fetch a list of available networks that the Fuel
Manager can see (shown below). Select the appropriate WiFi network and type
in the password for that network. Click the “Save” button in the configuration
portal otherwise the credentials will not be saved. Clicking “Refresh” will force
the device to re-scan for WiFi networks. After clicking the Save button, you will
see a confirmation of Saving Credentials as shown below.

3) After saving credentials, the device should start blinking green momentarily as it
attempts to connect to the network. If the connection is successful the status
LED will change to either Fading Cyan or Fading Yellow.
STEP 4 - VERIFY CONNECTIONS
Internet Connection: If the device is connected to the internet whether by a
hardwired Ethernet connection or WiFi the Status LED should be fading cyan or
yellow. Fading cyan indicates internet connection and ATG connection.
ATG No Connection: If the serial port settings are not correct or the provided
serial cable is unplugged, the status LED will be fading yellow to indicate there is
no serial connection. Once corrected, the status LED will fade in and out cyan.
Ethernet and WiFi Connection: If the Fuel Manager device is connected via
both Ethernet and WiFi the status light will fade Cyan with a blip of Green on
every cycle.

TROUBLESHOOTING
● The Teton FUEL app is not updating.
If the Status LED of the Fuel Manager device is fading in and out Yellow,
check the port settings on the ATG and the cable connections. Ensure that
the correct port is chosen when configuring port settings as shown in Step 2.
If the device is blinking green or blue, Verify internet connectivity at location.
If the WiFi credentials at the network have changed, it is necessary to clear
the old WiFi credentials (Additional Topics) and set new credentials as
explained in Step 3 of this document.
● Light is not blinking blue for wifi setup.
Ensure power is provided to the Fuel Manager device. Press and hold the
“Mode” button for 10 seconds.
● Can not access “Communications Setup” or “Port Settings”. If the Veeder
Root has “Simplicity” branded on the front, you must toggle the dip switch closest
to the battery backup dip switch. It doesn’t matter what position the dip switch is
in, simply flip it to the opposite position. This will override the system for 30
minutes allowing access to port settings.
