Follow all federal, state and local laws governing the installation of this product and its associated
systems. When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A and 70 from the National Fire
Protection Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious
property damage and/or environmental contamination.

Always secure the work area from moving vehicles. The equipment in this manual is usually
mounted underground, so reduced visibility puts service personnel working on this equipment in
danger from moving vehicles entering the work area. To help eliminate these unsafe conditions,
secure the area by using a service truck to block access to the work environment, or by using any
other reasonable means available to ensure the safety of service personnel.

When the Fuel Management System is used to monitor tanks containing gasoline or other

ammable substances, you may create an explosion hazard if you do not follow the requirements in

this manual carefully.

All wiring must enter the console’s enclosure through the designated knockouts. An explosion
hazard may result if other openings are used.

You must run wiring from probes or sensors to the Fuel Management System console in conduits
which are separate from all other wiring. Failure to do so will create an explosion hazard.

Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to guide installers, operators and technicians through programming and troubleshooting 
the TS-550 evo console, so that it’s congured based on a site’s specic needs. The Fuel Management Systems (FMS) 
application within the TS-550 evo console tie together the monitoring and alarm capabilities of the automatic tank gauge 
with advanced technologies to supply tank and level data more accurately and efciently. This manual is also designed 
to introduce technicians to the LCD Graphical User Interface, which is used as an input device to program system 
conguration and maintain all applications from the front panel of the console as well as through a web interface. Overall 
safety issues, troubleshooting information, warranty, service and return policies, as dened in this manual, must be 
followed.

FMS Functions

The main function of the Fuel Management System is to represent levels for inventory and tank leak testing by monitoring 
probe inputs and performing calculations based on those inputs. Line leak transducers provide line pressure data 
to perform line leak detection. Results from these calculations may be used for system monitoring and/or regulatory 
compliance. The console, in conjunction with external fuel system equipment, may provide positive system shutdown, 
based on programmed rules.

General

After the Fuel Management System has been installed, typically your interaction with the system will be from the LCD 
display, on-board printer; or using a Web Browser to program and monitor the console. Remote operation can be 
performed from a PC, either attached directly or through a network connection to the console. All of the features of 
the console are available through these input / output devices. Also, the console may be set up to generate and send 
automated reports to e-mail accounts or print reports at a programmed time.

Occasionally you may need console information, such as model and serial numbers. The model number is located on the 
face of the console. The serial number is located on a small plaque placed on the bottom of the left panel. This label also 
shows the model number, voltage, manufacturer’s address, a warning symbol and the unit’s voltage specications.

User Interfaces (UI)

LCD Touch Screen Interface

A color LCD touch screen is included with the TS-550 evo console. This bright display allows easy viewing in any lighting 
condition. Console functions are easily accessed through the LCD screen.

Web Browser Interface

The TS-550 evo console includes an Ethernet port and programming options to allow the system to be installed on a 
network. The advantages to using an Ethernet connection are: faster connection speeds, quicker data transfer rates, 
less data errors or quicker recovery of data when errors occur, and it does not require extra software or drivers to be 
loaded. This means that console parameters can be modied and that status / alarm reports can be printed from virtually 
anywhere.

Access Control

There are three access levels programmed into the console’s operating system: Guest, User, and Administrator. Each 
level will allow an operator to access different features or change specic settings on the console. This security feature 
prevents unauthorized tampering of console congurations. The system will prompt the user for a password when 
required.

Default passwords are as follows:

Guest: (none required) 
User: user
Administrator: admin

9

Connecting a PC or Laptop Computer

To access the console using the Web Browser interface, 
connect a PC to the console through either the Ethernet 
port or the COMM 1 serial port. If the console is connected 
to a local network, you can perform this setup from any 
PC on that network by using a web browser, such as 
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Mozilla’s FireFox, or Safari 
for a Mac.

Note:  The PC or laptop will recognize this serial 

connection as a network connection and will 
not allow the use of a Local Area Connection 
simultaneously. While it is not necessary to 
disconnect the Local Area Connection to connect 
using the Serial port, it will be necessary to 
disconnect the Serial Connection through the 
computers operating system in order to use the 
Local Area Connection again.

The following instructions are written specically for 
Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system. For assistance 
with other operating systems, please contact Franklin 
Fueling Systems Technical Services.

Connecting a PC to the TS-550 evo Ethernet Port

1.  Using an Ethernet Crossover, 10 Base-T cable, 
plug the RJ-45 connector on one end of the cable 
into the Ethernet port of the console.

2.  Plug the RJ-45 connector on the opposite end 
of the cable to the Network Interface Card of the 
computer.

3.  Power up and log onto your PC.

Note:

Note:  Some modern laptops have automatically switching 

You may need to re-congure your TCP / IP settings to 
allow the computer to communicate with the console.

Network Interface Cards and as such, will require the 
use of a standard cat 6 cable instead of a crossover.

3.  There are (2) two views settings possible when 
using Windows 7:

• In Category View, click on Network and Internet, 
then click View Network Status and tasks under

Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP / IPv4) and click Properties.

There are various ways to congure a computer to 
communicate with a TS-550 evo console. These factors 
depend upon the user’s computer knowledge and how the 
computer is currently congured.

To determine which method is best for your site, read the 
instructions in the following section carefully. Make detailed 
notes on the current conguration of the TCP / IP settings on 
the PC you are using. Read both the “Obtain an IP address 
automatically” and the “Use the following IP address” methods 
before making a choice between the two.

11

Obtain an IP Address Automatically

Computers commonly use this setting to obtain an IP 
address automatically.

1.  If Obtain an IP address automatically is 
selected, it may be best to click the Alternate
Conguration tab.

Note:  The consoles default IP address is 

192.168.168.168. If the PC is normally congured 
to acquire an IP address automatically, Alternate
Conguration may be used, as mentioned above, to 
allow a connection to be enabled without the necessity 
of reconguring the computer each time it will be used 
to connect to this console.

Use the Following IP Address

Initial Console Conguration

Initial setup must be completed before the console can be 
used. This section will show how to set custom parameters 
by navigating through the programming options to set up 
the TS-550 evo series console for the rst time.

Touch Screen Calibration

Calibrating the touch screen will enable the console to 
better recognize the area that you “touch,” so that you can 
accurately enter in information. The LCD touch screen is 
calibrated at the factory when a system is built but it may 
be necessary to re-calibrate occasionally. To calibrate the 
touch-screen function of the display, you must rst access 
the calibration application.

1.  From any screen, press Quick Jump 
Menu > Utilities > Tools > Touch Screen Calibration.

2.  The console will ask if you are sure that you want 
to proceed, answer Yes.

3.  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the 
calibration process.

Console Build Characteristics

Each console is custom ordered and built to each 
customer’s specications. That means that all of the 
hardware (modules) and software options needed for your 
site are installed and tested. Before programming, check 
the status and version of each module and verify that your 
purchased options are present.

Pressing QJM > Utilities > System will give you the

option to view specic details about the system

Setup Menu

minutes.

Network Parameters

To communicate with your network equipment (i.e. router, 
switch, hub, etc.) you will need to modify the network 
parameters.

IP Address Settings:

IP Address – This is a logical (electronic) address, like a 

street address, that the console uses to route 
information. This address will have to match 
your network, if connected to a network, in 
order to ‘talk’ to a remote communication 
device, or your PC.

Network Mask – Masking is a way to diversify the use 

of multiple subnets. The mask must match 
that of the network the console is connected 
to. Masks are used in networking to create 
‘sub-networks’ within a whole, like slicing and 
apple. You have separate slices that may be 
in different locations, but they are still from the 
same apple. Administrators use this to make 
separate networks, to maximize bandwidth or 
capacity of medium resources (cables or ber). 
Therefore, when your network uses static IP 
addressing (assigned by an administrator), 
this mask must match the Network Mask of the 
router port that it is attached to. If the network 
uses a DHCP server (automatically assigns 
IP addresses) then the mask should meet the 
specications set by your administrator.

Gateway – The Gateway is the logical address to the 

nearest router port, commonly the one that 
is connected to the console. Consult your 
administrator for details on this and other 
network parameters.

DNS Server Address:
Preferred DNS Server / Alternate DNS Server – The

domain name system (DNS) is the way that internet 
domain names are located and translated into Internet 
Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and 
easy-to-remember tag for an internet address (used for 
e-mail functions).
