Warning
Always secure the work area from moving vehicles. The equipment in this manual is usually
mounted underground, so reduced visibility puts service personnel working on this equipment in
danger from moving vehicles entering the work area. To help eliminate these unsafe conditions,
secure the area by using a service truck to block access to the work environment, or by using any
other reasonable means available to ensure the safety of service personnel.
When the Tank Sentinel system is used to monitor tanks containing gasoline or other ammable
substances, you may create an explosion hazard if you do not follow the requirements in this
manual carefully.
All wiring must enter the console’s enclosure through the designated knockouts. An explosion
hazard may result if other openings are used.
All wiring from probes or sensors to the Tank Sentinel console must be run in conduit separate
from all other wiring. Failure to do so will create an explosion hazard.
Substituting components could impair intrinsic safety. T5 series consoles are intrinsically safe
for sensors installed in – Class I, Division 1, Group D – hazardous locations. Substitution of
components could make the energy limiting circuitry in the system ineffective and could cause
an explosion hazard. Repairs to a T5 series console or attached components should only be
performed by a qualied, factory-trained technician.

Overview
The TS-SCM (Secondary Containment Monitoring) system is a continuous secondary containment monitoring system that
monitors the interstitial spaces of double walled tanks and sumps, secondarily contained product and vapor return piping.
This product can be ordered as an available option with Franklin Fueling Systems’s TS-550 and TS-5000 FMS consoles.
The TS-SCM system is comprised of an application running on a T5 series FMS console and all necessary input and
output modules with installation kits. The Secondary Containment Control Module (SCCM) consists of a vacuum sensor,
solenoid valve, mechanical bypass valve, and vacuum manifold. SCM uses the STP siphon port vacuum to evacuate the
containment space and AutoLearn® technology to determine the characteristics of each secondary containment area that
is monitored.
Warning
SCM equipment operates at a standard 2" to 6" Hg and should only be used to monitor containments that are designed to withstand these vacuum levels. Refer to the containment manufacturer
for further information.
Applications
The following diagram illustrates a typical installation of SCM equipment inside of a STP sump.
Belden No. 87761(0.12" OD) to 400 ft.
Belden No. 89182(0.31" OD) to 500 ft. (maximum distance)
600 V, 18 AWG minimum, UL approved
refer to ANSI/NFPA70 or CEC electrical codes
*Refer to manufacturers’ installation
guides or data sheets to calculate
containment area volumes.
**All containment areas MUST be
compatible with the vacuum levels
listed.
Note: SCM should be tested annually after installation.
The term containment (in secondary containment) refers to the interstitial spaces of double walled piping, sumps and
tanks that serve as a secondary containment if the primary containment is damaged.
Individual containment sections of a given product pipeline may be jumpered together via a vacuum line to form one larger
single containment. An example of ‘jumpered’ containment spaces is the secondary containment layer of product piping
from the turbine containment to the rst dispenser, and then jumpered to the secondary containment layer of the same
product piping on the other side leading to the next dispenser containment area.
Several containment areas may be grouped together and used with a single Secondary Containment Control Module (TSSCCM). No more than four (4) SCM groups should be used per pump siphon. The combination of any containment group
may not exceed the volume limits listed for SCM.
Note: DO NOT jumper tank interstitials with other tank interstitials or other containments.
Note: DO NOT jumper containment areas of unlike product pipelines together.
Note: If grouping multiple containment areas together, the installer will need to purchase and use the vacuum hose,
ttings, and clamps to secure the connection as specied by FFS.
Note: Both intrinsically safe and explosion proof conduits need to be available inside of the turbine containment for the
TS-SCCM.

Installation
Before starting installation, conduct a site survey to identify potential containment groups. Based on that survey, plan out
which STP sump the equipment will be installed in and how containment areas will be grouped together.
Warning
Lockout and tag circuit breakers, and disconnect console power wiring before installing or servicing
any system wiring.
Warning
Warning
Caution
DO NOT make solenoid and/or sensor wiring connections with live power connected to the console
or any module.
TS-SCCM contains aluminum, care must be taken to avoid ignition due to impact.
Do not run intrinsically safe (IS) wiring and non-intrinsically safe (non-IS) wiring in the same
conduit.
Note: TS-SCCM must be installed in accordance with the national electrical code, ANSI/NFPA 70, CEC or other
applicable national or local codes.
Note: Maximum torque on supplied hose clamps is 20 inch-lbs.
1. Pull all wiring through the conduits that will be used for the TS-SCCM vacuum sensor and solenoid valve. The
intrinsically safe (IS) sensor wiring must be run in an IS conduit. The non-IS solenoid wiring must be run in an
approved explosion proof rigid metal conduit.
2. Mount the TS-SCCM inside of the turbine
containment area, supported by rigid,
explosion proof conduit. Then orientate the
units to allow enough clearance to make the
vacuum line connections without stretching,
kinking, or creating sharp bends in vacuum
hoses. The SCCM cover is installed with the
label upwards. See Figure 3.

7. Plumb the containment vacuum hose from the INT port of the TS-SCCM to the containment area to be monitored.
Secure the hose to the tting using one of the supplied hose clamps per tting. Install T-ttings and clamps where
necessary to connect the hoses if more than one containment area will be monitored as a group.
Note: The containment vacuum hose must be placed in the lowest point of the containment space. For double walled
tanks, this means ensuring that the vacuum line rests at the bottom most part of the tanks interstitial space. Use
the same industry procedures used to install any sensor at the bottom of a double walled tank.
8. Secure all containment boots, lids and caps. Clean pipe surfaces to clear debris or foreign objects prior to tightening
secondary test boots on secondary containment product or vapor return piping. Make all jumper connections inside of
dispenser sumps by using supplied hardware.
9. Inside the console, the TS-SCCM solenoid wiring must enter the console from the explosion proof rigid conduit through
a designated knockout on the non-IS side of the barrier inside. Connect the line, neutral, and ground wire of the
solenoid to a single unused channel on the Relay Module (RLY). The solenoid should be wired to the Common (C) and
Normally Open (NO) contacts of the channel selected. Source voltage (110 VAC) will need to be provided to the dry
contact relay.

SCM Setup (Console Programming)
The following instructions will guide you through SCM programming only. Administrator privileges will be necessary to
program the SCM application for the T5 FMS console. For instructions on FMS programming or on how to obtain an
Administrator access level, please refer to the T5 FMS Programming Guide (p/n 000-2142).
Access the T5 FMS console (via the LCD or Tank Sentinel Anyware - TSA) and navigate to the Setup Menu. Once at the
Setup Menu, go to each of the following sections and adjust SCM parameters accordingly. You will be prompted to enter
the Administrator access level when it is required.
Note: Sites setups vary depending on products used and other equipment installed. Setup information in the sections of
this chapter depict a typical site and are meant as examples only.
AC Input Module
The AC Input Module can accept incoming dispenser hook control signals. Hook signals are used to activate the STP via
the relay channel connected to the pump controllers. Control signals from the dispenser tell the console which product is
requested by the dispenser, then control signals activate the appropriate STP. To perform tests accordingly, SCM needs to
know when pumps/dispensers are being used by other applications.
ParameterParameter Value
Active HighIf set to Yes, a high signal level will activate the channel and a low signal will deactivate the channel. If
set to No, then the channel is inverted and will only become active when a signal is absent and inactive
when a signal is present.
ChannelsOnly select the total number of inputs intended for use.
EnabledIf yes, will allow the channel to be mapped to another module. Other modules may use this signal to
trigger an event.
NameShould be a specic device from which the signal is originated.

TPI is an alternative to using the Relay Module to actuate an STP on demand (from a dispenser request or SCM). Just
as with using a relay channel, this method will provide positive pump shutdown on alarm (if that option is chosen in the
setup). When using the standard TPI feature of the console to control a STP, be sure to map the SCCM vacuum sensor
as an “Input” for the STP that it is connected to (as shown in the TPI table). This will allow the SCM application to actuate
the STP when it is necessary to regulate the vacuum levels in the containment. For further information and instructions on
programming TPI and/or Relay Modules to control a STP, please refer to the T5 FMS Programming Guide (p/n 000-2142).

Pre-Operational Containment Testing
Pre-operational containment tests determine the tightness of the entire SCM system, including TS-SCCM and interconnect tubing. These tests consist of two separate procedures: Containment Tightness Tests and STP Siphon Tests. The
rst procedure, Containment Tightness Testing, will determine whether the containment areas chosen to be monitored are
tight. The second, STP Siphon Testing, will determine if the STP is capable of creating enough vacuum for proper SCCM
operation.
The Containment Tightness Testing procedure assumes that all STP’s and pump controllers have been installed, wired,
calibrated, and are operational and in accordance with their respective installation and operation procedures. It also
assumes that all T5 FMS console programming has been completed.
Warning
Warning
Caution
Note: State and/or local laws may require a separate, more stringent containment tightness test. ALWAYS verify and
comply with local regulations.
Note: The STP connected to the SCCM being tested will need to be activated by lifting the appropriate product dispenser
handle. Verify that all STP’s and pump controllers are installed, calibrated and operational.
DO NOT apply vacuum or pressure until consulting the containment manufacturer on the maximum
allowed vacuum or pressure levels.
DO NOT use equipment that is not explosion proof in classied areas. Keep vacuum pumps
outside class 1, division 1, and class 2 areas. Refer to NFPA 30A, chapter 8.
DO NOT proceed to the Learn Process until each containment successfully completes
pre-operational testing. Failure to perform these tests or ignoring any failed tests may prevent the
SCM application from detecting a containment fault.

To Containment
Containment Tightness and Continuity Test
Perform the following steps for each SCCM channel.
1. Calculate the approximate containment volume for each area. Consult the secondary containment equipment
manufacturer’s manuals, data sheets, or other ofcial references.

2. Vacuum Gauge Installation
• For Individual DW Turbine and Tank Sump Containments, connect the vacuum gauge as shown in Figure 7.
• For SC Pipe and Multiple Jumpered Containments, in addition to the setup shown in Figure 7, connect a vacuum
gauge to the end of the last interstitial space or pipe test boot.

3. Install a vacuum gauge, regulator and isolation / shut-off ball valve in-line, onto the vacuum pump. With the ball valve
closed, power on the vacuum pump. Adjust the regulator to 6.5" – 7" Hg maximum. Power the vacuum pump off.
4. Remove the plug in the leak generator port on the SCCM. Connect the vacuum pump to this port.
5. Power the vacuum pump on. Open the isolation ball valve slowly to evacuate the containment area to 6" Hg. Close the
isolation ball valve:
• If the vacuum level does not increase after 30 seconds while the vacuum pump is running; large
containments may take up to 10 minutes. Inspect each component for leaks.
• If the gauge drops below 6" Hg immediately after closing the valve then steadies before zero.
Slowly open the isolation ball valve again to evacuate the containment to 6" Hg. Repeat as
necessary until containment remains at 6" Hg and close the isolation ball valve.
• If the gauge immediately drops to zero. This indicates that a leak exists. All leaks must be
identied and repaired before continuing this test.
Note: Vacuum leaks can be identied by pressurizing the containment area per the manufacturer’s specied levels, then
spraying a solution of water and liquid soap on connections and ttings. Consistent bubbling on soaped connections/ttings will give a visual indication of the source of a leak. Consult the manufacturer’s documentation for appropriate pressure levels.
6. Once a stable vacuum level is reached (4.5" – 7" Hg on the vacuum gauge
in-line with the vacuum pump), record the level. Use the table to the right
to determine the required wait time. The containment vacuum level should
remain stable throughout the entire wait time; the vacuum pump may be shut
off at this point.
If the vacuum level drops more than 1" Hg during the required wait time, then
the containment failed the test. All leaks must be identied and repaired rst,
then the Containment Tightness Test should be repeated until it successfully
completes.

Wait Time
7. If a vacuum gauge has been installed at the end of the system, compare the
gauge reading with the console. If the measurements are not within ±2" Hg, a blockage may exist within the
containment and/or between the SCCM and vacuum gauge. All blockages must be identied and corrected. Once the
blockage is corrected, restart the Containment Tightness Test.
8. Uninstall the vacuum pump, regulator, isolation / shut-off valve and vacuum gauges at this time. Continue on to the
STP Vacuum Test in the next section. Do not replace the Leak Generator Port Plug.

Page 21
STP Siphon Flow Rate Test
Warning
Note: During this procedure the containment reaches 9" Hg, which will cause the console to display a High Vacuum
alarm and disable the containment. If Pump Shutdown on Alarm is chosen in the options, a disabled containment
will not allow the STP to be activated. Navigate to the SCM Control screen, press Reset Alarm to continue.
1. Install a vacuum gauge and the vacuum leak generating device (TS-SCMCAL) into the leak generator (LG) port on the
SCCM using necessary ttings. Switch the toggle valve to the UP (open) position.
2. At the T5 series FMS console (using either the LCD or Tank Sentinel Anyware), navigate to the SCM Control Menu.
Press the Solenoid button — this activates (opens) the solenoid.
3. Activate the STP by lifting the appropriate dispenser handle.
4. With the STP on and the toggle valve open, the vacuum level must be able to reach at least 6.5" Hg. Verify vacuum
levels at the gauge connected to the containment area.
Large Containments (>50 gal.) may take several minutes. For large containments, close the leak generator until the
vacuum level reaches approximately 6" Hg. Open the leak generator. Allow the vacuum to build. The vacuum level
must be able to reach at least 6.5" Hg, but, if the vacuum is not able to reach at least 6.5" Hg, then the STP siphon
assembly must be repaired or replaced.
5. Once the vacuum level is veried above 6.5" Hg, return the hook signal to turn off the STP.
6. At the T5 series FMS console (LCD or TSA), navigate to the SCM Control Menu. Press the Solenoid button — this
deactivates (closes) the solenoid.
Failure to open the leak generator (TS-SCMCAL) during this test can apply an excessive vacuum
level to the containment, causing irreversible damage. Ensure that the leak generator is installed
properly and that the toggle switch is in the OPEN position prior to energizing the STP.
7. Allow the vacuum to decay to 0" Hg.
If you are proceeding to the Learn Process chapter next, the TS-SCMCAL may remain installed at the SCCM leak
generator port.

Learn Process
Each containment area must be Learned before the SCM system can continuously monitor it. Learning involves
evacuating the containment area, then introducing a calibrated leak using the Leak Generating Kit (TS-SCMCAL). The
system learns what the evacuation and decay curves look like by employing this process. The system then uses the
curves it’s learned to determine if there is a leak while it monitors the containment area.
Note: All console programming must be completed prior to the learn process. Refer to the SCM Setup (Console
Programming) chapter in this manual for details. Administrator privileges are necessary to Learn containments.
Refer to T5 FMS Programming Guide (p/n 000-2142) for information on gaining Administrator privileges.
Note: Complete the Pre-Operation Containment Testing chapter prior to starting the Learn Process.
Note: No dispensing can take place during the Learn Process. If product is dispensed while Learning, stop the process
by pressing the Reset button. Always restart the Learn Process from the beginning.
Note: DO NOT submerse or block the TS-SCMCAL orice while learning the containment. The orice MUST be kept free
of dirt and debris.
When to Learn/Re-Learn
• SCM installation and start-up
• After repairs or modications to containment areas
• After repairs or modications that may affect the siphon ow rate
• After 4-20mA Input Module replacement

Procedure
1. The SCCM leak generator port is plugged for normal operation but may have been removed for pre-operational testing.
If the leak generator port is plugged, remove the plug.
2. Install a TS-SCMCAL at the leak generator port on the SCCM; the TS-SCMCAL may remain installed from the Pre-Operational Containment Testing chapter.
3. Switch the toggle valve to the Up (closed) position.
4. At the T5 series FMS console (LCD or TSA), navigate to the SCM Control screen. Verify that the console is indicating
less than 0.2" Hg before the containment is Learned. If the vacuum level is above 0.2" Hg, open the toggle valve to
equalize containment vacuum to 0" Hg. Close the toggle valve when the containment is below 0.2" Hg.
5. Press/Click the Learn button. SCM will activate the pump and open the solenoid valve. The vacuum level of the
containment should rise and the Learn Message should display Learning Evacuation Curve. When the vacuum
reaches 6" Hg, the solenoid will close and the STP will turn off. The solenoid may cycle on and off during evacuation,
which is part of its normal operation during this procedure.

6. When the message Open Leak Toggle Valve appears, switch the toggle valve to the UP (open) position. SCM will learn
the vacuum decay curve and display Learning Decay Curve on-screen. The vacuum level will begin to fall.
7. When nished, the message Learn Completed – No Errors is displayed on-screen and the Not Learned indicator will
become inactive.
Note: If any errors are encountered at any time during the Learn Process, the screen will display the appropriate error
message and the Not Learned indicator will be active. Refer to the Alarms chapter of this guide for information on
troubleshooting any errors that are displayed.
8. Once the containment has been successfully learned, enable the containment on the Containment Control screen with
the leak generator open. The console will automatically begin a test on the containment. This test should fail, forcing
the containment into alarm status.
9. Close the leak generator. To clear the alarm, navigate to the Containment Control screen and choose Reset Alarm. If
the Auto-enable on Reset option is turned on in the SCM section of programming, the containment will be automatically
enabled after resetting the alarm condition and will automatically begin a test on the containment. This test should
pass, allowing SCM to continue to monitor the containment. If this test fails, isolate why the test failed, make necessary
repairs, and then retry the test.
10. Remove the leak generator and replace the leak generator plug. Apply TFP tape sealant to the threads of the plug,
then tighten the plug. If alarms or errors occur, refer to the Alarms chapter of this guide. When the condition is
corrected, restart the Learn Process.

used to print or save generated reports. For more information on reports in general, please refer to either the T5 Series Programming Manual (p/n 000-2142) or the T5 Series Operator’s Guide (p/n 000-2151).
SCM Alarm Reports
SCM Alarm Reports include any SCM alarms or application events that occurred within the date range chosen by the
user. An example of an SCM Alarm History Report can be found below.
Application Event Reports
Application Event Reports include any system warning pertaining to SCM equipment that occurred within the date range
chosen by the user.

Alarms
When a T5 FMS console is in alarm, the Alarm LED on the front of the console will ash. If SCM has been programmed
to shut down the pump on alarm (in the SCM Setup), the pump will be unavailable for all system tests and dispensing
until the containment with the active alarm is manually Reset. If the condition still exists after reset, the alarm will return. A
service visit may be required to identify and correct the condition.
Warning
Always REMOVE POWER from the console prior to installing/removing a module or performing any
maintenance while the console door is open.
Note: Refer to the Important Safety Messages outlined in the beginning of this manual before performing any console
maintenance.
Note: If at any time while troubleshooting a Warning or Alarm this guide is not able to help you correct the issue, please
contact FFS Technical Services.

AContainment TightnessRefer to the Containment Tightness Testing section of this guide and perform the tests in
that section to ensure that there are no leaks and that the tank is tight.
BThermal ContractionCaused by temperature variations of the air (or liquid if present) in the containment.
CLiquid in ContainmentThis will decrease the containment size. If liquid is drawn through the containment, through
the STP siphon, various parameters and containment vacuum readings will be incorrect.
Containments should remain free of liquid at all times.
DSiphon Function CheckThe siphon must be able to pull a vacuum of 8" Hg or more if connected to other equipment.
The vacuum also must have a minimum ow rate of 146 L/Hr. Perform a STP Siphon Flow
Rate Test as illustrated in the Pre-Operational Containment Testing chapter.

run. Also, SCM must be able to signal the STP pump on. Force a test on the containment
using the SCM Control screen. The STP will start only if necessary to evacuate the
containment. If the STP does not run to evacuate the containment, verify programming.
The mechanical vacuum relief valve is designed to open when containment vacuum levels
reach or exceed 10" Hg. If at any time the containment vacuum level exceeds 10" Hg while
the pump is on, this error will occur as an indication of a relief valve failure.

Clearing Alarms
Clearing a console of alarms is important because, depending on how the T5 FMS console has been set up, alarms can:
disable channels, start an annunciator, or stop an SCM test under way.
Administrator privileges will be necessary to clear SCM alarms on the T5 FMS console. For instructions on how to obtain
an Administrator access level, please refer to the T5 FMS Programming Guide (p/n 000-2142).
1. Identify the alarm on the SCM Alarms screen.
2. Diagnose the condition using information found in the Alarms chapter of this guide.
3. Follow the troubleshooting steps in the previous section of this chapter to correct the issues indicated by the alarms.
4. Navigate to the SCM Control screen.
5. Select Reset Alarms on the Control screen.
6. If Auto-Enable on Reset is chosen in the SCM Setup, then the containment will enable automatically. Otherwise, select
Enable/Disable on the Control screen.
If the condition still exists, the alarm can take up to several hours to reappear after the containment is enabled.

Enabling/Disabling SCM
After learning the channel(s), each channel will need to be enabled to allow containments to be monitored. The
Containment Status reects the current status of the channel.
Enabling SCM Channels
At the T5 FMS console (LCD or TSA), navigate to the SCM Control screen. Press the Enable/Disable button to enable
the channel.
Only while the channel is enabled will that channel continuously monitor and test vacuum levels by activating the STP
as necessary. Normal SCM operating vacuum level is between 2" Hg and 5" Hg. During vacuum recharge periods, it is
normal for the vacuum levels to reach 6" Hg.
Note: A channel will not enable properly if it is not learned, in an alarm status, or if an error condition exists (such as a
sensor malfunction). An alarm must be reset to enable a SCM channel.
Disabling SCM Channels
At the T5 FMS console (LCD or TSA), navigate to the SCM Control screen. Press the Enable/Disable button to disable
the channel.
Important: While the channel is Disabled, SCM will neither maintain nor test containment vacuum levels.
Disabling the channel will force the console to display a Containment Not Enabled warning. This warning will also appear
on the SCM History Report. The channel may be re-Enabled at any time.
If alarms or errors occur, please refer to the Alarms chapter of this guide.
22

SCM Annual Functional Testing
Perform a SCM Functional Test annually. This test will verify that the SCM application will detect and alarm on a leak
condition. This test should be performed during times when there is no dispensing.
1. If the channel is Enabled, disable the channel. At the T5 FMS console (via LCD or TSA), navigate to the SCM Control
screen. Press the Enable/Disable button to disable the channel.
2. Remove the plug in the Leak Generator (LG) port on the SCCM. Connect the TS-SCMCAL (Leak Generator Kit) to this
port.
3. Switch the toggle valve to the DN (closed) position.
4. Enable the channel. Wait for the containment vacuum levels to reach normal operating levels.
5. Switch the toggle valve to the UP (open) position.
6. The vacuum levels will then fall, which could take several minutes for large containments. Verify that the console
displays an alarm.
7. The channel will be disabled by the SCM application. Remove the TS-SCMCAL. Apply TFP tape sealant to the threads
of the Leak Generator Port Plug. Replace and tighten the plug.
8. At the T5 FMS console (via LCD or TSA), navigate to the SCM Control screen. Press the Reset Alarm button to
enable the channel, then press the Enable/Disable button to enable the channel. Resume normal operation.
9. If the SCM Annual Functional Test passed, please skip this step. If the system did not catch the leak and the test failed,
disable the channel and run the pre-operational tests. Perform the annual test again. If the channel still fails to detect
the leak, please contact FFS Technical Support.
