Installation Guide National Electrical Code Compliance
National Electrical Code Compliance
The following information is for general reference and is not intended to replace recommended National
Electric Code (NEC) procedures. It is important for the installer to understand that electrical equipment and
wiring located in Class I, Division 1 and 2 installations shall comply with the latest appropriate articles found in
the National Electric Code (NFPA 70) and the Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages
(NFPA 30A), or other local code such as the CEC, Canadian Electrical Code.
TLS RF UNIT-TO-TLS CONSOLE WIRING
Wire Type
To ensure the best operating systems available, Veeder-Root REQUIRES the use of shielded cable for probe
outputs regardless of conduit material or application. In these installations, shielded cable must be rated less
than 100 picofarad per foot and be manufactured with a material suitable for the environment, such as Carol™
C2534 or Belden™ 88760, 8760, or 8770.
Wire Length
Improper system operation could result in undetected potential environmental and health hazards if the TLS
RF-to-TLS Console wire runs exceed 1000 feet. Wire runs must be less than 1000 feet to meet intrinsic
safety requirements.
Splices
Veeder-Root recommends that no splices be made in the wire run between the TLS RF and the TLS Console.
Each splice degrades signal strength and could result in poor system performance.
Wire Gauges - Color coded
Shielded cable must be used in all installations. TLS RF-to-TLS console wires should be #14-#18 AWG
stranded copper wire and installed as a Class 1 circuit. As an alternate method when approved by the local
authority having jurisdiction, 22 AWG wire such as Belden 88761 may be suitable in installations with the
following provisions:
- Wire run is less than 750 feet
- Capacitance does not exceed 100 pF/foot
- Inductance does not exceed 0.2 µH/foot
TLS RF POWER WIRING
Wires carrying 120 or 240 Vac from the power panel to the TLS RF should be #14 AWG copper wire for line,
neutral and chassis ground (3); and #12 AWG copper wire for barrier ground (1).

TLS RF Wireless System Overview
Figure 2 illustrates an example TLS RF Wireless System installation. In the figure only one tank is shown, but
each tank being monitored by a Mag probe would require a battery pack/transmitter pair. The repeater
component may be required if the system receiver, mounted on building’s outside wall, has difficulty receiving
signals from any of the transmitters.

TLS RF Installation
Selecting a Location for the TLS RF
WARNING
Explosive vapors or flammable liquids could be present near locations where fuels
are stored or being dispensed. The TLS RF is not explosion proof.
An explosion or fire resulting in serious injury or death, property loss and
equipment damage could occur if the console is installed in a volatile, combustible
or explosive atmosphere (Class I, Division 1 or 2).
Do not install this unit in a volatile, combustible, or explosive atmosphere..
The TLS RF must be mounted indoors, protected from severe vibration, extremes in temperature and humidity,
and other conditions that could harm computerized electronic equipment.
Ensure that the TLS RF is located where neither it nor its associated cabling will be damaged by doors,
furniture, etc. Consider the ease of routing wiring, and ducting to the TLS console. Check that the mounting
surface is strong enough to support the unit’s weight of about 4 pounds.
Mounting the TLS RF
Install the unit’s fastening devices to the mounting surface using the hole pattern (6.7” x 5.7”) shown in Figure
3. Mounting screws up to 3/16” diameter may be used.
Install metal conduit (1/2-inch I.P.S.) between the upper power side knockout on the unit and the power panel.
Figure 3 shows the three designated knockouts (one each on top, left side, and bottom) through which power
wiring can safely enter the unit.
Also install metal conduit (1/2-inch I.P.S.) between the lower intrinsically-safe wiring knockout on the TLS RF
and an intrinsically-safe wiring knockout on the TLS console for device data wiring.

WARNING
The unit contains voltages which can be lethal.
Connecting power wires to a live circuit can cause electrical shock that may result
in serious injury or death.
Turn power off at the circuit breaker before connecting wiring to the TLS RF.
Attach conduit from the power panel to the unit’s power wiring knockouts only (1
on top and 1 on bottom, ref. Figure 3)
