The TS-ROM2 (Tank Sentinel - Relay Output Module) is designed for use with the TS-1001, TS-2001, TS-504 and TS508 Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) console and up to eight product dispenser pump relays. The TS-ROM2 is primarily
designed and congured to turn off (open) the power source to a dispenser pump relay or dispenser solenoid valve
whenever an assigned product or tank alarm condition is sensed and received at the ATG (i.e.. high product levels,
low product levels, high water levels and tank point sensor alarms). Opening the pump relay circuit will inhibit product
dispensing. In addition, the ATG/TS-ROM2 module can be programmed to override the product dispensing inhibitor for
an assigned length of time; this grace period can range from 0 to 120 minutes. The TS-ROM2 was alternatively designed
to be easily recongured and to turn on or off other devices, whenever an assigned product or tank alarm condition is
sensed and received at the ATG console.

General Information
Specication Information
The TS-ROM2 BriteBox™ is either a four channel (TS-ROM2/4) or eight channel (TS-ROM2/8) programmable, dry-relaycontact, output control device. The states of the channel relays and contacts can be programmed to change in response
to the occurrence of alarms. The electronics are housed in an enclosure which is approximately 7 inches high, 5 inches
wide and 3 inches deep. The four enclosure mounting holes will accept #8 fasteners.
The TS-ROM2 (Relay Output Module) is provided with an 18 inch (max. length) BriteBus™ serial interface ribbon cable
(P/N 600-0052) which is internally connected to J1. Terminal Strip J10 has sixteen output terminals which are divided
into two output (OUT n) terminals per channel. Each OUT n channel has one output terminal in series with the channel
relay’s - C (common) contact, and the other output terminal is in series with its 3 Amp output channel fuse and either the
NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed) relay contact. The position of the output channel fuse determines the deenergized relay’s NO or NC contact selection. In addition, each output channel has a relay on/off status LED. Finally, the
TS-ROM2 is provided with an “active on/active off” switch (SW1: 1-8) that allows a channel relay to be energized in either
an alarm (active switch: off) or no-alarm (active switch: on) condition.
Up to four 1/2 or 3/4 inch knockouts can be used for the TS-ROM2’s conduit wiring. Do NOT use the top and lower side
conduit knockouts because of space limitations. Jack J2 and the knockout closest to J2 is reserved for the addition of
another BriteBox accessory module. In addition, a spare fuse (BUSS PN: PCC3/INCON PN: 430-0033) is provided and
comes in a seperate, clear plastic bag.
One end of the ribbon cable connector mates to J1 at the TS-ROM2 module, and the other end will connect to J1 at the
ATG console after it has been “pulled” through 3/4 inch exible conduit. The dispenser pump relay coil wiring, and the
dispenser pump switch wiring, will enter through a conduit at one, or both, of the two 1/2 or 3/4 inch knockouts provided
at the bottom of the TS-ROM2 enclosure. Either of the two relay output channel terminals can be wired to the dispenser
pump relay coil, and the other remaining relay output channel terminal is wired to the dispenser pump switch (refer to
Figure 1).
The TS-ROM2 has an operating temperature rating of 32o to 131o F (0o to 55o C). Each dry-relay-contact output channel is
fused and is rated for 3 Amps at 250 VAC/1 Amp at 30 VDC.
Note: The TS-ROM2 is shipped in a standard conguration: all channel relays are energized (turned on) during normal
no-alarm conditions, all “active on/active off” switches (SW1: 1-8) are OFF and all output channel fuses are
inserted in the FnNO (Fuse channel #n Normally Open) relay contact position.
Theory of Operation (Standard Conguration)
Serial communication data, logic power and ground are supplied through the BriteBus ribbon cable. During normal noalarm conditions (when no product or tank point alarms exist) the data will turn on all of the channel’s relays and relay
status LEDs. While the dispenser pump relay circuit is complete, the dispenser pump is permitted to operate. If the Tank
Sentinel loses power, then all of the channel relays will return to, and remain in, their normal de-energized state
until power is recovered.
If the ATG console receives a tank or point alarm fault signal that has been assigned to control the TS-ROM2 outputs,
then the serial data will selectively turn off the affected channel relays and LEDs. The channel relay contact will open,
creating an open dispenser pump relay-coil circuit. In turn, the dispenser pump relay will drop out, its contacts will open
the dispenser pump power source circuit and the dispenser pump will be inhibited from operating. The dispenser pump
will be disabled from further operation until the fault condition has been corrected. Pressing the ACK key will allow for
a permissive-product-dispensing grace period only if a GRACE PERIOD has been programmed. Also see the Alternate
Uses and Congurations section of this manual for further information.

• 3/4 inch rigid metal conduit (A/R)
• (Optional) 1/2 inch rigid metal conduit (A/R)
• Conduit ttings and conduit clamps
• (4) Appropriate #8 fasteners for mounting the TS-ROM2 enclosure
Required Wire Type and Insulation Color
Type THHN, TFFN or THWN: 18 to 12 AWG (min/max), color per codes.
Installation
Mechanical Installation
1. Remove the TS-ROM2’s front cover. Observe the four #8 mounting holes directly below the cover’s four threaded
hold-down screw holes.
2. Position the TS-ROM2 no greater than 11 inches to the left of the ATG console. Position the TS-ROM2 enclosure so
that its upper right conduit ttings and the ATG’s upper left conduit ttings are aligned.
3. Locate and mark the four TS-ROM2 fastener positions. Remove the 3/4 inch knockout from the TS-ROM2 and ATG
console as indicated in Figure 1.
4. Install a 11 inch (maximum length) piece of 3/4 inch exible conduit between the two enclosures and fasten the
TS-ROM2 module using four appropriate #8 fasteners. Pull the BriteBus ribbon cable through the conduit and connect
it to J1 at the ATG console. The red stripe of the ribbon cable should be facing down on the TS-ROM2 and ATG
connectors as indicated in Figure 1.
5. Plan the installation and routing of a 3/4" or 1/2" metallic conduit from one, or both, of the bottom conduit knockouts
provided in the TS-ROM2 enclosure to the dispenser pump relays. Also, route conduit from the TS-ROM2 enclosure to
the dispenser pump switch.
Electrical Installation
1. For each dispenser pump output channel (OUT n) used, run one conductor from either of the two relay output channel
terminals to the dispenser pump switch, and run one conductor from the other remaining relay output channel terminal
to the pump relay-coil (Line Voltage) terminal. Leave a service loop at both ends (refer to Figure 1).
Note: Maintain a consistent wire color code to avoid wiring errors and circuit, or equipment, damage.
2. Mark each output channel wire with a: power feed description, circuit # and power source circuit breaker-panel
identier (i.e. OUT 1: DISPENSER PUMP 1, CKT #121, Circuit Breaker #2A-8).
3. Wiring from the dispenser pump relay power source to the dispenser pump switch and from the pump relay
power source neutral bus to the pump relay neutral terminal will remain unchanged, and will be identical to other
manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Fill in the Channel Output Pump Relay and Tank Assignments in Table 2 after each output wiring has been completed.

Finishing the Installation
1. Carefully recheck that all wiring is terminated securely and accurately.
2. Make sure that all of the conduit ttings and covers are in place and fastened.
3. Make sure that the ATG console’s conduit ttings and Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) terminal guards are in place and are
secured. Also make certain that the ATG console’s internal power switch (SW1) is ON.
4. Close and secure the ATG consoles’s front panel cover and any other equipment/devices involved in this installation.
The TS-ROM2’s cover will be installed after testing is completed.
Power Up
1. Turn the ATG’s AC line power circuit breaker back on at the power source panel.
2. Turn any other equipment/devices (i.e. dispenser pump switch) AC line power circuit breaker back on at the power
source panel.
3. With no tank or point alarms, verify that the TS-ROM2 output channel relay status LEDs are on.
Programming
Prior to programming the TS-ROM2’s control outputs, the ATG must be programmed so that it can accurately recognize
and respond to your system’s: unique mix of hardware, management procedures and communications setup. Please
refer to the Tank Sentinel Setup Programming Guide (P/N 000-1053) for complete system programming setup
instructions.
Alternate Uses and Congurations (Example)
Since the TS-ROM2 is provided with either four or eight relay output channels and the ATG can monitor up to four USTs
(Underground Storage Tanks), you may have extra relay output channels available. These extra relay output channels
can be used to enable/disable (turn On/Off) other devices in addition to controlling product dispenser pumps.

Active Off Mode, NO-Contact Conguration
While no alarms exist, the output channels’ relay and relay status LED indicators will be on, and the NO (normally
open) relay contacts will be held closed. The example above shows Tank 1 and Tank 2 relay outputs setup for product
dispenser pump - disable circuits. The LOW LOW product level limit alarms, and high WATER LIMIT level alarms have
been assigned to CONTROL the output channels. If a LOW LOW or a WATER LIM alarm fault occurs, then the assigned
outputs will turn off, and the previously held closed NO relay contact will open disabling product dispensing.
Active Off Mode, NC-Contact Conguration
While no alarms exist, the output channels’ relay and relay status LED indicators will be on, and the NC (normally closed)
relay contacts will be held open. The example above shows Point 1, Point 2, and Point 3 relay outputs have been setup
for a “Tank Leak Indicator” circuit. Point 1, Point 2, and Point 3 alarms have been assigned to CONTROL output channel
number 3. If any of these point fault-alarm occurs, then the assigned output No. 3 will turn off, and the previously held
open NC relay contact will close and supply power to the “Tank Leak Indicator”.
Active On Mode, NO-Contact Conguration
While no alarms exist, the output channels’ relay and relay status LED indicators will be off, and the NO (normally open)
relay contacts will be open. The example above shows Point 4 relay output setup for a tank 2 “Sump High Level Indicator”
circuit. Point 4 alarm has been assigned to CONTROL output channel number 4. If a Sump 2 High Point fault-alarm
occurs, then the assigned output No. 4 will turn on, and the previously open NO relay contact will close and supply power
to the “Sump High - Level Indicator”.
Testing the TS-ROM2
After the TS-ROM2 is installed and programed, test all of the point sensors and tank Liquid Level probes to make sure
that they are operating properly with the TS-ROM2. Verify all functions according to your programming and jumper
settings. All new Tank Sentinel systems and new point sensors must be tested.
Note: If your ATG (except for the TS-750) does not automatically recognize your TS-ROM2, please contact Technical
