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
•ModBusModule
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).
Vapor Pressure Sensor
Install one Vapor Pressure Sensor in the vapor return piping of the gasoline dispenser closest to the tanks
following the instructions in the Vapor Pressure Sensor Installation guide (P/N 577013-797).
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.

Installation Smart Sensor Interface Module
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.
Smart Sensor Interface Module
Verify that a Smart Sensor Interface Module is installed in the TLS console. Connect the field wiring from the Vapor
Pressure Sensor (VPS) to the Smart Sensor Interface Module as instructed in the VPS installation manual.
NVMEM203 Board
Verify that a NVMEM203 board is installed in the TLS console (ref. Figure 2-14 in the V-R TLS-3XX Series
Consoles Troubleshooting Manual P/N 576013-818, Rev J or later). This board contains flash EEPROM and RAM
needed to run PMC software and store PMC reports. No setup is required.
Mod Bus Module
Verify that a Mod Bus Module is installed in the Comm Bay of the TLS console and is connected to the
hydrocarbon sensor module according to the processor manufacturer’s specifications. No setup is required.
Section 16
Pressure Management Control
16-4

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.
Smart Sensor Setup
The Smart Sensor Interface Module is installed in the Intrinsically-Safe bay of the TLS console. This module
monitors the Vapor Pressure Sensor. Figure 2 diagrams the Smart Sensor setup procedure.

Operation
Alarms
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 4).
Figure 4. 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.

b. Press the FUNCTION key until you see the message:
c. Press the STEP key until you see the message:
d. Press the PRINT key to printout the port settings for all communication modules installed in the console.
Figure 11 shows an example port settings printout with the RS-232 module installed. Using the console
port settings in the example below, your HyperTerminal ‘Port Settings’ window entries would be Bits per
second - 2400, Data bits - 7, Parity - None, Stop Bits - 1. For the ‘Flow Control’ entry select None. Click
OK.
Figure 11. Console comm port settings printout example
In the example port settings printout above, the RS-232 Security Code is disabled. If the code was enabled you
would see a 6-digit number which you will need to enter to access the console (refer to the ‘Sending Console
Commands’ paragraph below for more information).

This number is the assigned by the console and indicates the slot
in which the RS-232 module is installed. It could be 1, 2, or 3.
However, for the RS-232 port of a Multiport module, which is installed
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.

SENDING CONSOLE COMMANDS
Table 3 shows three important PMC console commands: IV8200, IV8000, and IV8100. The <SOH> shown in the
table means that you must press and hold the Ctrl key while you press the Akey.
For example, let’s say you want to see the Vapor Processor Status Report.
Note: If you want to see the characters of the command as you type them in, click on File menu, then select
Properties/Settings (tab)/ASCII Setup and click the check box for ‘Echo typed characters locally’, then click OK to
close the window(s) and return to the main screen.
If the RS-232 Security Code is disabled - press and hold the Ctrl key while you press the A key, then type in
IV8200. If the RS-232 Security Code is enabled (e.g., 000016) you must enter the security code before the
command - press and hold the Ctrl key while you press the A key, then type in 000016IV8200.
You will see the typed command on the screen: followed by the response (report) from the console. The
symbol indicates CrtlA and the
♥ symbol indicates the end of the response.
If the console recognizes the command the response displays as soon as the command is typed in.
If the console does not recognize the command you would see something like which
indicates the console did not recognize the command.
All responses (Reports) can be printed or saved to a file. See the terminal program’s help file for instructions.
