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

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.

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
From any screen select QJM > Utilities > Setup >  Conguration.

Toggle Sleep Mode
Enabling sleep mode allows the display to dim after 5  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).
