Quick Start-up Guide TMS Series
Introduction
This guide is intended for use as a field help guide for factory-trained technicians when
performing a start-up on the Pneumercator TMS Series tank gauging system. You can use this
guide for both the TMS2000 and TMS3000 consoles. The first part of this guide shows what is
needed to perform a start-up on a FACTORY PREPROGRAMMED TMS Series console. The
second part has the basic wiring needed for the TMS2000 & TMS3000 systems. For detailed
installation instructions please refer to the appropriate TMS Installation Manual. For systems NOT
factory preprogrammed, please refer to the standard TMS Operations Manual for programming
instructions. Please make sure that the Warranty Start-up paperwork is completely filled out by a
factory authorized technician and returned to Pneumercator in a timely fashion to qualify the
system for warranty consideration.
For information on becoming a factory authorized service/start-up technician, please contact
Pneumercator below, or e-mail at training@pneumercator.com. Your local Pneumercator sales
representatives may also be of assistance.
This guide is for reference purposes only. Complete installation guidelines are contained in
the TMS2000 & TMS3000 Installation manuals.

Quick Start-up Guide TMS Series
Start-up of Preprogrammed systems
This section is for the start-up of systems that have been preprogrammed at the factory with
information supplied by the customer/distributor.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE START-UP TECHNICIAN TO VERIFY THE
INFORMATION PROGRAMMED INTO THE TMS SYSTEM MATCHES THE SITE
REQUIREMENTS. IF ANY INFORMATION IS NOT CORRECT, THEY SHOULD CORRECT THE
PROGRAMMING PER THE OPERATIONS MANUAL OR CONTACT THE FACTORY FOR
PROGRAMMING ASSISTANCE.
All systems are supplied with factory configuration sheets showing what was programmed into
the TMS system. Please review these sheets prior to continuing.
1. Verify the list of equipment matches what is found on the packing list.
2. Record probe serial number(s), model number(s), calibration factor(s) (Probe C.F.), and length(s)
on the worksheet on the next page. This information must match the factory programming printout
provided with the console to avoid reprogramming the console.

3. Confirm the TMS system (includes probes, sensors, and any other wires terminating within the
TMS) has been installed in accordance with the corresponding Installation Manual. This includes
but is not limited to the following:
a. Confirm TMS system is on a separate circuit breaker. (See Figure 8)
b. Confirm there are two (2) 12 AWG wires connected to the IS ground terminals going
to the main circuit panel ground buss bar. (See Figure 8)
c. Verify the intrinsically safe wiring is properly separated from all other wiring as per
Article 504 in the National Electric Code.
d. Verify the probes and sensor cabling is properly terminated. (See Figures 9-11)
4. Power up TMS.
5. Observe and record any alarms or errors. Power Fail, Warning 21 is expected on power-up.
6. Stick tanks for product level & water level and record on the worksheet on the next page.
Note: Stick readings should be taken in the same opening the TMS probe is installed for greater
accuracy. The Product Float must be floating in the product in order to calibrate the TMS.
7. Record the Product and Water level readings (inches or millimeters) displayed on the TMS on the
worksheet on the next page. To access the product level readings on the TMS, hold the MODE
button until the TMS beeps. Repeat until the level unit LED (IN/mm) is lit. Hold the MODE button
until the TMS beeps to access the water level. A “w” (w) will be displayed to the left of the reading.
8. For multi-tank systems, hit the TANK SELECT button and repeat steps 8 & 9 for each tank.
9. Calculate float height offsets using the worksheet on the following page.
Note: If programming via the front panel buttons is desired, skip to Page 10.
*Note: The final water level should be set to at least 0.2” for MP45xS or 0.5” for MP46xS to allow for
thermal expansion and/or contraction of the system. The MP46xS Series probes should be allowed
to settle for a couple of days before performing the float offset adjustments. If this is not feasible,
adjust the final water level to 1.0” to allow for probe straightening/settling. If the TMS has a negative
water level calculation, the Water alarm will immediately activate.
The expected value for the offset should not exceed the combination of the float height with the
distance between the bottom of the probe and the tank floor. If the calculated value exceeds
expectations, check the floats are not stuck at the top of the tank. Also confirm the TMS has been
properly configured.

Programming Float Height Offsets using TMS Front Panel
Refer to the Figure 5 below for the relative locations of the buttons. Note that each button has three
labels depending upon your display status. Without entering programming mode, the main labels
printed on the buttons are used. Once in programming mode, a nonflashing display represents
Review Mode where a flashing display represents Edit Mode. Note that this represents the latest front
panel button configuration available. Earlier systems maintained the same labeling system but had
physically different buttons.
1) Enter programming Mode by pressing and holding the TEST button and then pressing the
MODE button at the same time until Log (Log) appears. Release both buttons.
2) Press the EDIT (TEST) button repeatedly until Config (Config) appears flashing.
3) Press the ► (MODE) button one time. Header (Header) appears.
4) Press the EDIT (TEST) button repeatedly until Probe (Probe) appears flashing.
5) Press the ► (MODE) button one time. The value for Probe CF for Tank Channel 1 is displayed.
6) Press the GROUP SELECT (TANK SELECT) button until the desired Tank Channel number is
displayed over the TANK ID label on the display.
7) Press and hold the STEP (MODE) button until it beeps ONE TIME and immediately release the
button. Repeat this twice more and Prod HO (Prod HO) will appear briefly then the current value
for the Product Float Height Offset will appear. Note that this number will start with a + (+) or a (-) sign indicating a positive or negative number.

RA100R/RA200KR Remote Alarm Programming
Note: For wiring, refer to: Figure 12 for RA200KR.
Figure 13 for RA100R
The following wiring scenario is being provided as a guideline only. The advantage to wiring
the CC Inputs as illustrated is to use the Reset switch in combination with the Test switch. The relays
can be wired in any combination. This is the way your system will be preprogrammed if supplied with
an RA100/RA200 alarm.
Programming:
1. Sets the tank conditions that must occur to activate the relays. Factory default conditions shown
below activate for SP1 (Above 95% volume) and SP2 (Above 90% volume).
