TS-DIMIB Diagnostics
General Information
The T5 Series console* with an internal TS-DIMIB Dispenser
Interface Module has built in diagnostic software which
enables an installer to verify communication with the
dispenser / POS system.. This is a menu-based command
line utility which is available through the serial port of the
Power Supply Module. Control Module Firmware version
0.9.5.3685 or greater is required and Power Supply Firmware
version 1.0.1 or greater is required.
Prior to using diagnostic mode
Note:
Note: If the mapping query is not working, set all hose
In order to use this diagnostic, the console will need to
be placed into an ofine mode which essentially turns the
power supply into a dedicated module for DIM diagnostic
use only. During this time, the T5 console will not be
performing normal operational functions.
If the console is not communicating with the
Distribution Box (Dbox), verify that the modules are
at the most current rev. level. If needed, upgrade the
system to current revs, turn off power to the T5 series
console, wait 5 minutes and turn power back on.
positions in set-up to 0 and save conguration.
Check status of the DIM module and wait until the
console shows the DIM is operational. Return to
setup and query dispenser.
This will take you to the Menu page. Press the DOWN
button (Figure 2).

This will show the diagnostics screen (Figure 3).
To return the console to its normal operation mode, it will
need to be power-cycled. This will allow the Power Supply
to return to its normal state. Note a Power Supply Module
Mismatch alarm will occur and should be ignored.
Procedure
Step 1
Using the LCD panel, select the main menu: FMS (Figure 1).

Select the DIM Diagnostic in the Diagnostics section of the
Main Menu (Figure 4).

Once selected you will be prompted to conrm your
selection (Figure 5).
The system will now enter DIM Diagnostic Mode (Figure 7).

Step 2
Connect to the console via an Ethernet connection,
and reboot the system (soft boot) by choosing
tools \ reboot system.
Using a NULL modem cable connect COM Port 2 of the T5
series console to a COM port on a PC.

Clearing the Database Using Privileged Mode
Normally, at startup, the totals for all pumps are zero, but,
in some situations, the fueling positions may contain data
that needs to be cleared in order to start the meter mapping
process. The Privileged Diagnostic mode will have to be
entered in order to access the Clear Database function.
Entering Privileged Mode
At the DIAG-> prompt, select S. An Access Code will
be displayed and a Security Code will be requested. To
calculate the security code subtract the access code from
100 and then reverse the digits. See the following example.
Example: If the Access Code = 25 and 100-25 = 75, then
reverse the 75 to 57. The Security Code = 57.

Once connected hit the Esc key to access the “DIAG>” prompt.

Step 3
Accessing the Pump Totals
The display Pump Block section of the diagnostics will
show the transaction totals for each fueling position.
1. At the DIAG-> prompt, enter D for the diagnostic
section.
2. Next, at the Select Section: prompt, enter A for
the database section.
3. At the DBASE-> prompt, enter D for the display
pump block option.
4. Finally, at the Select: prompt, enter 0 for the total
volume option (Figure 12).
Note: For an access code that results in a single digit
(i.e. 98: 100-98 = 2), assume a 0 before the digit
to get the security code (i.e. 2 → 02 → 20).
Clearing the Database
These steps will clear the totals from the database and
reset all of the fueling positions to zero. This process can
be repeated at any time during the meter mapping process
to get back to a clean database.
1. Follow the above instructions to enter the
privileged mode.
2. At the DIAG(P)> prompt, select D for diagnostic
section.
3. Next, at the Select Section: prompt, enter A to
select the database.
4. At the DBASE-> prompt, enter C to clear the
database.
5. The TS-DIM will ask the following two questions:
a. “Are you sure you want to clear the
database?” Answer Yes to clear the database.
b. “Database Cleared — do you want to store in
NVRam?” Answer No.
Using the DIM Diagnostic
Once connected to the DIM Diagnostic you will see all
available positions for Fueling Points 1 through 8.
Enter N to cycle through the remaining Fueling Points.
To verify communications between the TS-DIMIB and the
dispenser / POS system dispense a small amount of fuel at
one or more fueling points. The volume dispensed should
appear on the corresponding Fueling Point in one of the
positions. If the volume dispensed does not appear in one
of the eight positions for that fueling point then there is a
communication problem. Verify all cabling, connections,
and setup to ensure proper installation.

Step 4
Once you have nished using the DIM Diagnostic, power
cycle the T5 series console to restore normal operation.
