The TS-STS system includes a TS-STS console within a convenient
portable case, leak testing probes with 50 feet of cable, and probe
hanging hardware (slip rings and chain).
After all fittings within the sump are sealed, the sump is filled with a
water-based test solution that covers all sump penetration holes. The
probe is installed so the float is floating on the surface of the test solution.
The TS-STS console is quickly programmed with the site name and
address, number of sumps, the 7-digit code-names for each sump, and
the correct Time/Day/Date before leak testing.
Pressing the Test key at the console keypad starts sump leak tests for
all sumps. The test time is 15 minutes and tests for a level change
greater than 0.002 inches. If the level of a sump drops more than the
leak
limit during the test, the Sump Leak Test Report will show a fail
result when the test is finished. Leak tests can also be programmed
(scheduled) to start at desired times.
When finished, leak test reports will automatically print out at the console
printer. Extra copies of this report can be printed using the report key. A
newly completed Sump Leak Test will overwrite the previous results
stored in memory. Save sump leak test reports and provide copies as
evidence of compliance with regulations.
TS-STS Installation

1.)Required Materials:
a.) Tape to secure the probe cableb.) Safety cones & signs
c.) Grounded, 3-pronged extension cord
d.) Flat pieces of metal to suspend leak testing probe over sumps
2.)Work safely — install Safety Cones and Signs at the site
3.)The probes are precision instruments — handle with care!
4.)The STS probes are shipped with cables attached, do not remove
the cable from the probe end... remove at the console case only.
5.)Inspect probes for proper float movement before use, then install
probes as shown in Section 1
6.)Connect the yellow probe cables to the receptacles at the TS-STS
Make sure to line up keyways before inserting cable and
case.
tightening the screw-on connector.
7.)Locate the TS-STS case outside of the Hazardous Area and tape
the cable down to prevent probe movement during the test and to
reduce tripping hazards
Recommendation: Use a computer and the Tech version of
System Sentinel™ to record site data, sump code-names, and test
results. Test results can also be extracted from Comm Port 1 at
the bottom of the TS-STS console (also see Section 4).
Reference Federal and State regulations for leak limit and test
time requirements. Recommendations for locating the

8.)Setup / Program the TS-STS console per Section 2
9.)Start sump leak test(s) on sumps that are ready
10.) Always clean, dry, and store probes in the probe carrying case after
each use
11.) Test each of the probes on a monthly basis to ensure its ability to
detect leaks. Install the probe in a test container and initiate a test.
After 5 minutes, remove about 0.12 inches of water. When the test
completes, the test report should show a Failed result if the probe
is working properly.

A digital copy of the Sump Test Report can be retrieved from the TS-STS
console through the communications port (Comm Port 1). This port is
located at the bottom side.
As with the printed reports, this data is overwritten when a new test is
run, so it must be collected after each test. The data can be stored in a
database as opposed to saving the printouts.
For more information on this feature contact INCON Technical Service at
1-800-984-6266.
