Removing The Existing Console
The key to a successful TLS-450PLUS retrofit installation is the careful removal of the old console and wiring.
The first concern is safety, so if the console is in a public area of the store, barricade off the work area to prevent
injuries.
1. Prior to removing the TLS-350 console, print out the current TLS-350 console’s setup configuration that will be
used to program the TLS-450PLUS.
2. Turn off, tag and lockout the breaker that supplies power to the TLS-350 console.
3. Remove the door screws (with a T-15 Torx driver), open the console and unplug the power connector in the
power bay. It’s always a good idea to use a multimeter to confirm that the circuit is dead before pulling these
wires through the console knockout.
4. Verify all Intrinsically safe wires are labeled and their polarity (if applicable) noted before removing them. Verify
all non-intrinsically wiring connections are labeled before removing them.
5. Unplug the high and low voltage connectors from the console. After removing the wires from the connectors,
plug them back into the modules.
6. Disconnect and label all wires from the communication modules.
7. Remove both ground wires, the chassis ground and the barrier ground, from the grounding lugs in the console.
8. Loosen the power conduit ring, remove it and pull the wires through the knockout. Once both the high and low
voltage wires have been removed, remove the console from the wall. Keep the mounting screws if possible
because the mounting holes for the TLS-450PLUS match the mounting holes for the TLS-350.
9. Remove the power and ground wires from the wire bundle if they were run in the same conduit with the High
Voltage wires. A separate power conduit will need to be run to the TLS-450PLUS.

Installing The TLS-450PLUS Console
Mounting The Console
The TLS-450PLUS has the same mounting bolt pattern and approximate weight as the TLS-350. One major
consideration for the placement of the TLS-450PLUS is that the screen is at eye level so it can be seen and
touched (see Figure 1).
The TLS-450PLUS doesn’t have pre-assigned slots for the Module bay modules so use any of the four slots to
accommodate intrinsically safe (USM) or non-intrinsically safe (I/O, MDIM, etc.) modules (see Figure 2). Since the
Module Bay modules can be installed in any of these 4 slots, install them where it makes the most sense for
conduit connections. Caution! USM wiring inputs are intrinsically safe and conduit containing this wiring must
attach to the knockouts above or below the slot in which the USM module(s) is installed.
Never use a drill to open up knockouts. This could potentially result in metal filings getting into the console. It’s
much easier to just knock out the pre-punched slugs in the console anyway. Remember only knock out the smallest
size needed. The console is pre-punched for 3/4” and 1” for Module Bay slots, but up to 1-1/4” may be used if
needed. Again, if 1-1/4” conduit is needed, use a punch, not a drill to remove the knockout. Make sure that the
conduit fitting ring is tight.
Connecting Wiring To Console Modules
Refer to the appropriate Control Drawing on page 2 to identify modules that can be installed in the console and
the designated devices that can be connected to them.
Try not to have too much wire in the console. Pull unneeded wire back into the wiring trough and loop it neatly.
Warning! only intrinsically-safe wiring can enter a USM module slot knockout.
1. Make sure to terminate the ground shields to the ground lug on the module. The other end at the probe or
sensor is NOT grounded.
2. Write in the device name for each wire connection on the connector block in the module’s wiring label attached
to the inside of the door.
3. Make sure to loop the wire neatly under the lip of the module. This will keep wires from interfering with the door
when it closes.
Installing I/O, MDIM Or LVDIM Modules
Avoid too much wire in the console. Pull unneeded wire back into the wiring trough and loop it neatly.
1. Figure 2 illustrates acceptable non-intrinsically safe module positions in the Module Bay of the console. After
installing the I/O, MDIM or LVDIM module, remove the connector from the module, loosen the screw, insert the
wires and tighten well.
2. Write in the device name for each wire connection on the connector block in the module’s wiring label attached
to the inside of the door.
3. Loop the wire neatly under the lip of the module.
4. Close the right door and replace and tighten the top and bottom screws on the right side of the door.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST STATIC ELECTRICITY
Before removing electronic components from their antistatic bags read the following static electricity precautions.
1. Before handling any components, discharge your body's static electric charge by touching a grounded surface
or using a grounding strap.
2. Do not remove parts from their antistatic bags until ready to install them.
3. Do not lay parts on the antistatic bags! Only the insides are antistatic.
4. When handling parts, hold them by their edges and their metal mounting brackets.
5. Avoid touching components or edge connectors that plug into slots and wear the antistatic wrist strap (Part
No. 576010-908) included in your component replacement kit.
6. Never slide parts over any surface.
7. Avoid plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam in the work area
COMM MODULE SLOTS AND CONFIGURABLE PORTS
1. The Comm Bay is divided into 5 communication slots numbered from 1 to 5 going from left to right (see
Figure 2). Only slots 1-3 are available for user-selectable Comm modules (Figure 3). Slots 4 and 5 are fixed
and can not be changed (see Figure 4).
2. Important, to avoid attaching a Comm cable to a non-configurable (NC) port, identify the configurable (C)
ports of any Comm module being installed by referring to Table 1. Also verify the Comm cable port
connections to Comm modules in slots 4 and 5. Record all Comm port connections for use at setup.
3. Using a T-15 Torx driver, loosen the screw securing the comm module clamp until you can remove the clamp
(see Figure 2).
4. Remove the blank cover from underneath the desired comm slot by punching it into the console or by using
pliers to remove it from the inside of the console. Be careful not to damage any internal components in the
process of removing the blank cover.
5. Place the new Comm module in the slot. Align the edge connector on the back of the board in the center of
the vertical connector on the Comm Backplane board and push in the module firmly as far as it can go. The
sheet metal bracket of the Comm module slides into the slot and is keyed in the front where the comm module
clamp holds it down.
6. After all Comm modules are installed, replace the comm module clamp and the screw that secures it.

Connecting The Power Wires To The Console
This section concludes the TLS-450PLUS retrofit installation by connecting power to the console.
1. With the left of the console open, remove the two screws that attach the power connector cover plate (see
Figure 2).
2. With the cover removed, notice the power connector already attached to the console. This is where the wires
connect.
3. Next, remove the knockouts for console power and install the conduit from the power trough to the console. If
local codes require rigid conduit, plan carefully before knocking out these holes. The console is prepunched for
½” conduit. This should be large enough since the only wires going through this conduit will be for L1, neutral,
panel ground and earth ground, and possibly 1 relay. Refer to manual 577014-073 for proper wire gauge.

- For ATEX/IECEx approved systems, use a 4 sq. mm barrier ground wire
• Use an ohmmeter to check the electrical resistance between the console’s metal case and the power panel’s earthing
ground wire connection at the ‘known good ground’. It should read less than 1 ohm.
• Connect the power supply wires in the power panel to a separate dedicated circuit.
• Electrical rating of power input - 120 or 240 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 2 A maximum.
• See Figure 1 for locations of power conduit knockouts into the console. Power wiring must enter the console
through designated knockouts.
