Installation
This section discusses the installation and wiring of the hardware required to enable the TLS console to perform
pressure management of the site’s gasoline vapor processor equipment:
• Vapor Pressure Sensor
• Smart Sensor Interface Module
• NVMEM203 board
• Multiport Card
• 4-Relay or I/O Combination Module
All field wiring, its type, its length, etc., used for TLS console sensors must conform to the requirements outlined in
the Veeder-Root TLS-3XX Site Prep manual (P/N 576013-879) and to additional field wiring requirements
specified in related connected components, such as for Pressure Sensors.
Installing TLS Console Modules - General Notes
TLS consoles have three bays in which interface modules can be installed; Comm bay, Power bay and Intrinsically-
Safe bay (ref. Figure 1). Probe Interface modules and Smart Sensor modules are installed in the Intrinsically-Safe
bay and the Mod Bus module is installed in the Comm bay.
In all cases, the position of the modules, their respective connectors and the devices wired to the
connectors must be recorded to prevent improper replacement during installation or service. A circuit
directory for Power and I.S. bay Interface Modules is adhered to the back of the right-hand door for
this purpose.
Switch off power to the TLS console before you install modules and connect sensor wiring.

CAUTION! During programming, module positions and the devices wired to each module are identified and stored
in memory. If a connector is removed and reinstalled on a different module after programming, or if an entire module
with its connector is removed and reinstalled in a different module slot, the TLS console will not identify correctly
the data being received.
Module Position
1. Record on the circuit directory the type of module in each slot location.
2. If a system contains multiple modules of a single type (i.e., two Smart Sensor Modules), they may be swapped
between their respective slot locations, however, the connectors must remain with their original locations,
not with the original modules.
Connector Position
1. Identify all connectors according to their slot location using the self-adhesive numbering labels furnished with
each module. Accurately record on the circuit directory the location of each device wired to the connector as
you attach wires to the module.
2. Once a device has been wired to certain terminals on a connector and the system has been programmed, the
wires from that device may not be relocated to other terminals without reprogramming the system.
Grounding Probe and Sensor Shields
Connect probe and sensor cable shields to ground at the console only. Do not ground both ends of the shield.
CIRCUIT DIRECTORY
A circuit directory is adhered to the inside of the right-hand door. It should be filled out by the installer as the
module’s connectors are being wired.
The following information should be recorded for each slot:
• Module Type: record what type of module has been installed in the slot, e.g., Smart Sensor Module.
• Position Record: record the physical location and/or type of device wired to each terminal of the module
connector in the slot, e.g., VPS: FP1&2.
Vapor Pressure Sensor
Install one vapor pressure sensor as detailed in the applicable Pressure Sensor Installation Guide shown in Table 1.
Smart Sensor Interface Module
The Smart Sensor Interface Module 8 input or 7 input w/embedded pressure versions monitor the Vapor Pressure
Sensor (VPS) inputs.
Switch off power to the TLS console while you install modules and connect sensor wiring.
Open the right door of the console and slide the necessary Smart Sensor modules into empty I.S. Bay slots.
Connect the field wiring from the sensor following instructions in the Vapor Pressure Sensor manual. Setup the
Smart Sensor module(s) following instructions in this manual.

Installation NVMEM203 Board
5
NVMEM203 Board
Verify that a NVMEM203 board is installed in the TLS console (ref. Figure 2-7 in the V-R TLS-3XX Series
Consoles Troubleshooting Manual P/N 576013-818, Rev Q or later). This board contains flash EEPROM and
RAM needed to run PMC software. No setup is required.
Probe Interface Module
Verify that a Probe Interface Module(s) is installed (Intrinsically-Safe bay) and that a Mag probe is in each gasoline
tank and is connected to the module(s). Program the Mag probes following instructions in the TLS-3XX System
Setup manual.
I/O Combination or 4-Relay Module
Connect the vapor processor motor control relay to two relays on either the 4-Relay or I/O Combination module as
shown in Figure 2.
Multiport Card for Vapor Processor Communication
A Multiport card is needed for RS-485 communication with the TLS console and is required with VST ECS
membrane processor installations. Verify that a Multiport card is installed in slot 4 of the card cage in the
communications bay of the TLS console (ref. Figure 2). When installing this card, refer to the V-R Serial Comm
Modules Installation Guide (577013-528) for instructions. Connect this card to the vapor processor as shown in
Figure 2. Program the card as instructed in this manual.

Setup
Introduction
This section describes how to perform PMC setup using the TLS console’s front panel buttons and display. The
procedures in this manual follow standard TLS console setup programming input, i.e., keypad/display interaction. If
necessary, refer to Section 2 of the TLS-3XX System Setup manual (P/N 576013-623) to review entering data via
the front panel keypads.
All PMC-related equipment must be installed in the site and connected to the TLS console prior to beginning the
setups covered in this section. As with all TLS connections, you cannot change sensor wiring or module slots after
programming or the console may not operate properly. Reference the section entitled “Connecting Probe/Sensor
Wiring to Consoles” in the TLS-3XX Site Prep and Installation manual (P/N 576013-879) for rewiring precautions.

OVERVIEW OF TLS CONSOLE INTERFACE
The TLS console is continuously monitoring the vapor recovery system and PMC sensors for alarm conditions.
During normal operation when the TLS console and monitored PMC equipment is functioning properly and no
alarm conditions exist, the "ALL FUNCTIONS NORMAL" message will appear in the system status (bottom) line
of the console display, and the green Power light will be On (see Figure 7).
Figure 7. TLS console alarm interface
If an alarm condition occurs the system displays the condition type and its location. If more than one condition
exists, the display will continuously cycle through the appropriate alarm messages. The system automatically prints
an alarm report showing the alarm type, its location and the date and time the alarm condition occurred.
Warning and alarm posting causes the TLS console-based system to activate warning or failure indicator lights, an
audible alarm, and an automatic strip paper printout documenting the warning or alarm.

in slot 4, this number would be 6.
If no RS-232 Security Code has been entered, you will see disabled.
If a code has been entered, e.g., 000016, that 6-digit number would
appear here. If a code appears, you will need to enter this code with
each command you send to the console.
