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.

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 ofine 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 conguration.

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.
