(iii) Making Electrical Connections
1. Connect Mag-Probe/Mag-Sump-sensor wires to the left con-
nector and battery connections to the right connector.
2. Verify that green LED (Fig.12) flashes every 6 seconds fol-
lowed by the adjacent red LED.
3. Make sure the LED closest to J3 connector in RCVR also
flashes with an interval of 6 seconds or smaller. Make sure
both the RS485 Transmit & Receive LEDs flash.
4. Close the lid.
Make sure the rubber gasket (O-ring) is properly placed
on the inner lining of lid and on screws that secure lid.
Overtightening lid screws may result in plastic damage
resulting in water infiltration.
5. Similarly install all other transmitters.

H. Installation Verification
Select the Diagnostic Mode in the TLS Console and go to In-Tank Diagnostic Function. Verify that all
Mag probe/Mag Sump Sensor serial numbers correctly match their installed locations.

A. Install TLS-RF:
1. Mount TLS-RF unit indoors on 4 holes separated vertically by 5.7 inches/
145 mm and horizontally by 6.7 inches/170mm and using screws up to
0.187 inch/4.7mm diameter (dimensions shown in Fig. 1 are maximums).
2. Install 0.5 inch/12.7mm metal conduit on upper knockout on TLS-RF and
15A circuit breaker in power panel, or a 5A switched fuse spur with neon
indication.
3. Turn off all the 8 DIP switches inside TLS-RF.
4. Make arrow in rotary switch point to “1”.

1. In TLS-RF connect 1 end of the RS-485
cable (Belden #3107A or equiv.) to RS-485
connectors - one twisted pair connects to
terminals (- & +) and the second twisted
pair connects to terminals (+15 & G).
2. Connect the shield of the RS-485 cable to
the ground lug.
3. Run the RS-485 cable to Receiver, maxi-
mum length 250 feet/76 m.
4. In Receiver, turn off all 16 DIP switches
marked as S1 & S2.
5. Connect 2nd end of RS-485 cable to RS-
485 connectors as shown.
B. Install RCVR

C. Connect Power to TLS-RF, check PWR LED inside RCVR
1. From an independent 24 hour power supply at the distri-
bution panel, run three 2.5 mm2 (minimum) standard color
coded wires (item 1 in Fig. 4); two for ac power and one
for earth to the fused spur.
2. Run one #12AWG (4 mm2) barrier ground wire (color
coded green/ yellow) from the earth bus bar at the distri-
bution panel direct to the console location. Leave at least
1 meter of free cable for connection to the console.
3. Turn on power.
4. Near the left-lower corner inside TLS-RF, verify that
POWER LED is on and RX-485 TX LED is flashing at a
fast rate (10 times a second).
5. Near the top-central part inside Receiver, verify that PWR
LED is ON and RECEIVE LED is also flashing at the
same rate. Else check RS-485 wire connection.

D. Set Station ID Inside Receiver
Watch red LED, D8, between the 2 connectors, J4 & J3, for
more than 2 minutes, it should not flash (even once). If it does,
meaning it is receiving packets from nearby station, change to
another station ID on S2 DIP switches (see example settings
below). Note down Station ID for use in transmitter set-up.

E. Install XMTR
1. Set the station ID, same as in receiver, on S2 DIP switches inside transmitter. Make sure switches 1
through 4 are turned off unless you want to use non-standard mode (refer site-prep manual).
2. Set unique Device ID for every transmitter on S1 DIP switches (4-8) inside transmitter (see below):
S1
3. Mount transmitter & battery pack.
Antenna is a sensitive part, please don’t try to rotate, unscrew or bend it and handle carefully. For
best communication quality, transmitter antenna should be horizontal and point in the direction of
receiver.

shown using 1/4 x 20 x 0.5” (13 mm) hex head bolt/nuts (Item 1
Fig 6) - 2 places.
2. Loosely attach conduit hanger tightening bolts using 1/4 x 20 x 1.25
inch (32 mm) hex head bolt/nuts (Item 2 Fig. 6) – 1 each hanger.
3. Attach 2 small clamps to bracket as shown using two #10 x 0.5 inch
(M5x0.8 x 12.7) screws and nuts (Item 1 Fig. 7).
4. Attach 2 small clamps to back of transmitter as shown using #10 x

(Go to iii).
(ii). Installing Transmitter in Dispenser Sump
1. Transmitter (Item 1 Fig. 10) at-
taches to battery support
bracket using 2-#10 x 0.5 inch
(M5x0.8 x 12.7) taptite screws
(Item 2 Fig. 10).
