WARNING

NOTICE

Health and Safety

GENERAL

Ensure that all local council, U.K. and E.C. laws and regulations are complied with. Also ensure that all recognised
safety codes are followed.

Every person working with Veeder–Root equipment is expected to take every safety
precaution possible in the installation of the TLS-IB and probes.

Contractors must ensure that supervisory personnel on the installation site are aware of their presence and
requirements, especially the provision of safe working areas and isolation from AC electrical power.

Leaking underground tanks can create serious environmental and health hazards. It is the contractor's
responsibility to comply with the instructions and warnings found in this manual.

Reference manual number 577013-578 for additional product safety information.

DANGER AREAS

WARNING

TLS System products will be operated near the highly combustible
environment of a fuel storage tank.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ENVIRONMENT,
RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

If the underground storage tank to be fitted with a TLS system either contains or at any time has contained
petroleum products then the tank inspection chamber must be considered a hazardous environment as defined in
IEC EN 60079-10 Classification of Hazardous Areas. Suitable working practices for this environment must be
observed.

INTRINSIC SAFETY

The design of Veeder-Root products limits the power in the wiring to the in-tank probes and keeps this wiring
physically separated from any other. It is the responsibility of the contractor to maintain the effectiveness of these
safety features by preparing the installation site in accordance with the instructions and warnings which follow.
Failure to do so could create danger to life and property.

Circuitry within the probe and console barrier forms an intrinsically safe, energy limited system. This system makes
the probes suitable for use in hazardous locations. Probe wiring is intrinsically safe only when connected to the
TLS-IB unit.

Substitution of specified components may impair intrinsic safety.

All probe wiring must be contained in dedicated ducts.

2-3

Site Prep - International Installations TLS-IB Location

NOTICE

WARNING

An explosion could occur if other wires share ducts with intrinsically safe
probe wiring. Ducting from probes must not contain any other wiring circuits.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN EXPLOSION,
DEATH, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY LOSS OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE.

TLS-IB Location

The TLS-IB should be located on an inside wall of the forecourt building Be sure the console will be protected
from vibration, extremes in temperature and humidity, rain and other conditions that could cause equipment
malfunction.

Field Wiring

PROBE TO TLS-IB LOCATION (LEVEL 1 INSTALLATIONS ONLY)

Pull one two core, Probeflex cable from the TLS-IB location to each probe location.

An explosion could occur if other, non–intrinsically safe wires share TLS intrinsically
safe wire conduits or wiring troughs. Conduits and wiring troughs from probes and
sensors to the console must not contain any other wires.

At least 2 metres of free cable must be left for connection at both the TLS-IB and the probe
locations.

Ensure that all cables are correctly identified. All probe field wiring

must be legibly and permanently labelled with

the tank number.

Failure to correctly mark probe field wiring may lead to rework, delays in system installation
and additional charges.

MAXIMUM CABLE LENGTHS

A maximum of 305 metres of cable length per sensor or probe must be observed.

DUCTING ENTRY TO TLS-IB LOCATION

Connection to the TLS-IB may only be made by a Veeder–Root authorised engineer.

The cable route from the ducting entry to the TLS-IB must be clearly defined and all necessary preliminary work
undertaken. All necessary holes must be drilled through walls, counters, etc.; cable trays fitted, ducting with draw
cords installed and adequate access for the installation of the cable provided.

Equipment Connected To The RS-232 Port

Any equipment such as a pump controller or point–of–sale terminal connected to the RS-232 port must meet the
following criteria:

• The equipment must have an EIA standard RS-232C or RS-232D communications protocol.

• The equipment must NOT be installed over or in a hazardous location.

The RS-232 Interface can be used for direct local attachment of terminals if the cable run is no more than 15
metres. Veeder-Root do not guarantee proper equipment operation if RS-232 cable runs exceed 15 metres.

RS-232 cable runs longer than 15 metres could result in data errors.

Run cable from the peripheral equipment location to the system console location. At least 1 metre of free cable
must be left for subsequent connection at both ends.

Improper system operation could result in undetected potential environmental and health hazards if the probe-to­console 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 a probe junction box and the 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. Wires should be #14-#18 AWG stranded copper wire and
installed as a Class 1 circuit. As a 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 H/foot

• Total cable length per installation 22,000 feet.

POWER WIRING

Wires carrying 120 or 240 Vac from the power panel to the console should be #14 AWG (or larger) copper wire
for line, neutral and chassis ground (3); and #12 AWG copper wire for barrier ground.

IN–TANK PROBES

Magnetostrictive Probes are capable of performing precision tank testing, as described by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, at 0.1 gph and 0.2 gph per hour when combined with the in-tank leak testing
features of a TLS Console. Reference Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 to determine the minimum Mag Probe length for
installation in a dedicated riser.

PROBE JUNCTION BOXES

Weatherproof electrical junction boxes with a gasketed cover are required on the end of each probe conduit run at
the manhole or monitoring well location. Gasketing or sealing compound must be used at each entry to the
junction box to ensure a waterproof junction. The interior volume of each junction box must be a minimum of 16
cubic inches.

Veeder-Root recommends the following junction boxes or equivalent:

• Appleton Electric Co. - JBDX junction box, JBK-B cover, and JB-GK-V gasket.

• Crouse-Hinds Co. - GRFX-139 junction box, GRF-10 cover, and GASK-643 gasket.

Probe Wiring Safety Issues

WARNING

Probes operate in areas where flammable liquids and explosive vapors may
be present.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN EXPLOSION,
DEATH, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY LOSS OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE.

1. Read thoroughly and follow the instructions shipped with each probe.

2. Probe wiring conduit must not contain any other wires.

3. Probe wiring and conduits must enter the TLS-IB only through their
designated areas (see Figure 2-3 on page 2-6).

4. Power and communication wires and conduit must not enter the
intrinsically safe compartment of the TLS-IB.

Wiring between the TLS-IB and the probes is of limited electrical power so that there is insufficient energy to ignite
fuel. In the TLS-IB, the low power probe wiring is considered intrinsically safe because it is physically isolated from
all high power wiring. To maintain the integrity of this safety feature probe wiring can not share the same conduit
with power wiring. In addition, probe cables can only enter the TLS-IB through the designated intrinsically safe
area knockouts.

If the TLS-IB is being retrofitted into a paved site, you can cut grooves in the pavement, run direct burial cable to
the probes, and then seal over the cable grooves.

Before trenching, you should diagram all conduit runs between the TLS-IB’s intended location and its deployed
probes. Your site diagram will help you calculate conduit and wiring lengths, and necessary quantities of junction
boxes, sealing boxes, clamps, brackets, etc.

Throughout this planning process and in the actual installation, you must follow all latest National Electric Codes,
and applicable federal, state, and local codes as regards conduit type, depth below grade, sealing, grounding, wire
capacities, direct burial (if permitted), etc.

3-2

Site Prep - U.S and Canadian Installations Mounting the TLS-IB

NOTICE

If the intrinsically safe wires enter the building in a wiring trough, only intrinsically safe
wires (from TLS-IB probes) can be in the trough. Keep all low power (intrinsically safe)
wiring physically isolated from high power wires in all wiring troughs per the NEC.

Mounting the TLS-IB

Install the TLS-IB fastening devices to the mounting surface using the hole pattern 170 x 145mm (6.7 x 5.7 inches)
shown in Figure 2-3 on page 2-6. Mounting screws up to 4.7mm (3/16-inch) diameter may be used.

Mount the TLS-IB to the mounting surface using the four mounting flanges on the back of the unit. Install ducting
or conduit between the TLS-IB and the power panel. Figure 2-3 shows the three designated knockouts (one each
on top, left side, and bottom) through which power wiring can safely enter the TLS-IB.

WARNING

The equipment is used in location where lethal voltages and explosive vapors
or flammable fuels may be present.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ENVIRONMENT,
RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

For this system:

1. Comply with the latest National Electric Code, federal, state, and local
codes, and any other applicable safety codes. In addition, take necessary
precautions during installation, service, and repair to prevent personal
injury, property loss and equipment damage.

2. Refer servicing to trained and qualified personnel only.

3. Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.

4. Be sure AC power is “Off” before opening the TLS-IB cover and
connecting probe wires. Do not short any voltage across any barrier
terminal including probes.

Probe Wiring Precautions

To The Installer! You Must Read And Understand This Information. Reference manual number 577013-578 for
additional safety related information.

PROBE WIRING POSITIONS AND LABELING

In all cases, the devices wired to the TLS-IB input terminal blocks must be recorded to prevent improper
replacement during installation or service.

Wiring Assignments

Identify all probe wires according to their terminal block location using the self-adhesive numbering labels
furnished. Accurately record on the circuit directory label (top of I.S. compartment cover plate - see Figure 4-1),
the tank number of each probe as you attach wires to the probe input terminal block.

Once a device has been wired to certain terminals and the system has been programmed,
the wires from that device may not be relocated to other terminals without reprogramming
the system.

4-1

Wiring/Miscellaneous For TLS-IB Consoles W/RS-232 & With & W/O IFSF) Connecting Probes to the TLS-IB

NOTICE

Connecting Probes to the TLS-IB

Connect the two color-coded/marked wires from each probe to the appropriate connectors (e.g., Probe 1) of the
Probe Terminal Block as shown in Figure 4-1.

Observe polarity when connecting probe wires!

Connect probe cable shields and drain wires to ground in the TLS-IB only, not at the field junction boxes. Do not
ground both ends of the shield.

AUTO PROBE CONFIGURATION

During a cold boot, the TLS-IB will automatically configure connected probes - CAUTION! For auto
configuration to occur, probes must be connected in sequence, starting at the Probe 1 input and
continuing with no skipped inputs.

For example, if you have 4 probes and you connect them to Probe inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4, auto configuration works
fine. But if you connect them to Probe 1, 3, 5, and 7 auto configuration doesn’t work, resulting in probe out alarms.
Also, the skipped inputs will be unusable.

MANUAL PROBE CONFIGURATION

If you connect probes after the system has been powered they must be manually configured. To configure probes
for the TLS-IB, use either the IFSF command Data ID 1, “Nb-Tanks” (see Table 4-4 on page 4-16); or the RS-232
“Set Tank Configuration”, serial command 601 (see Table 4-3 on page 4-15).

of J8 (no polarity).

LON Bus Termination

LON bus cable termination
jumper (JP3).

NOTICE

1. With AC power switched Off, connect the IFSF network wires to J8 in the TLS-IB as shown in Figure 4-2
below:

Figure 4-2. Connecting IFSF Network Wiring To TLS-IB

2. The LON cable termination jumper (JP3 in Figure 4-2) is shown in the single position (SGL). The single
position is used when the TLS-IB is a Free Topology Segment in the LON network and only one termination is
required. The double position (DGL) is used when the TLS-IB is a Doubly Terminated Bus Topology Segment
in the LON network and two terminations are required. To set the jumper in the DGL position, move it to the
right (jumper over the middle and right pins).

If the TLS-IB is not a terminating device on the IFSF network, you must remove the LON
cable termination jumper (JP3) from the board. Failure to do so will result in improper
operation.

3. Set the IFSF Node Address DIP switches on the CPU board (S1 in Figure 4-5 on page 4-8) to the desired
Node Address using the table below (U = switch open [up], D= set switch to closed position [down]). For
example, to enter a IFSF node address of 06, set switches 2 and 4 up, and switches 1 and 3 down.

WARNING

The TLS-IB contains voltages which can be lethal. It is connected to devices
that must be intrinsically safe.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ENVIRONMENT,
RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

1. Turn power Off at the circuit breaker connecting the power supply wires.

2. Attach conduit from the power panel to the TLS-IB Power Area
knockouts only (1 on top and 2 on bottom, ref. Figure 2-3 on page 2-6).

1. Pull four wires between the power panel and the TLS-IB; three #14 AWG or larger diameter color-coded
wires for AC line (L), AC neutral (N) and chassis ground; and one #12 AWG (4 mm

2

cross-sectional area)

green and yellow wire for barrier ground.

For international applications, console power should come from a dedicated circuit via a fused, switched, neon

indication spur within one metre of the console position. From an independent 24 hour supply at the distribu­tion panel, run three 2.5 mm
spur. Run three similar wires from the spur to the console location. Run one 4mm

2

(minimum) standard colour coded wires, live, neutral and earth, to the fused

2

wire, colour coded green/
yellow, from the earth bus bar at the distribution panel direct to the console location. Leave at least 1 metre of
free cable for connection to the console.

Use an ohmmeter to check the electrical resistance between the console’s metal case and
the earthing ground wire’s connection at the “known good earth ground” (copper rod driven
into ground, etc.). It should read less than 1 ohm.

2. Open the door of the TLS-IB and connect the four power/ground wires as shown in [Figure 4-4]. Do not
connect the power wires to breaker panel at this time.

Troubleshooting

This section contains information to help you diagnose system problems. Instructions are included for replacing
CPU and Power Supply boards in the event of a hardware failure and for installing a software upgrade. Also, the
location and use of the neuron service switch is discussed.

At the end of this section you will find a list of specifications for the TLS-IB.

REPLACING THE CPU BOARD

The CPU board must be replaced if the TLS-IB fails to communicate. Check the voltage between the GND and 5V
test points [Figure 4-5] on the back of the CPU board. This voltage should be between 4.75 - 5.25 Vdc; if not,
replace CPU board as follows.

1. Turn Off power to the system. Attach the anti-static strap to your wrist and to a good ground.

2. Disconnect the CPU cable from the Power Supply board. The CPU board snaps securely into place in the
door of the TLS-IB without the use of screws. There are two tabs on the top of the board that fit into two slots
in the top edge of the door. The bottom of the CPU board snaps in place between two pairs of detents
protruding from the bottom edge of the door. The CPU board is removed by inserting a straight-slot
screwdriver into one of the two indents on the bottom of the board and then gently prying against the door
until the board clears the upper detents, then rotating the board up slightly and toward you to clear the top
tabs from the slots in the door.

3. Replace the CPU board reversing the above steps.

PROM CHIP REPLACEMENT (SOFTWARE UPGRADE)

The PROM chip (U29) is replaced when a software upgrade is installed. This procedure requires that you perform
a RAM clear.

1. If possible, record the current setup information. Switch Off power to the system.

2. Open the front door of the TLS-IB. The CPU board is installed in the door.

3. Attach an anti-static strap to your wrist and to a good ground.

4. Move RAM clear jumper from NML to CLR position (Figure 4-6). Switch On power to TLS-IB and wait 30
seconds, then switch Off power to TLS-IB. Move the RAM clear jumper back to NML position.

5. Disconnect the ribbon cable connector from the CPU board. Remove the CPU board following the
instructions on the previous page.

6. Locate the PROM chip on the board (see Figure 4-5).

7. Remove the PROM chip following instructions in Figure 4-7.

8. Replace the PROM chip following instructions in Figure 4-8.

9. Replace the CPU board in the front door of the TLS-IB. Connect the CPU board cable to the Power Supply
board.

10. Switch On power to the TLS-IB and check your system configuration for proper setup.

REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD

When to Replace the Power Supply Board

The Power Supply board must be replaced either when:

• Probe data is not being processed. (You can check the Probe Status Indicator [LED1 - see Figure 4-6 on
page 4-10] to verify that the probe is communicating with the TLS-IB. If LED1 is flashing, the CPU is acquiring
valid probe data), or,

• The voltage between the GND and 8V test points (Figure 4-5 on page 4-8) on the back of the CPU board is
less than 7 Vdc.

How to Replace the Power Supply Board

1. To replace the Power Supply board, turn Off power to the system.

2. Disconnect the CPU cable from the Power Supply board.

3. Tag and disconnect probe, power, and overfill alarm relay wiring to the Power Supply board.

4. The Power Supply board is secured by two T-15 Torx screws in the top of the board. After removing the Torx

screws, slowly lift up on the board until the lower tabs on the board clear the slots in the bottom of the TLS-IB,
then continue to lift the board out.

WARNING

The equipment is used in location where lethal voltages and explosive vapors
or flammable fuels may be present.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ENVIRONMENT,
RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

For this system:

1. Comply with the latest National Electric Code, federal, state, and local
codes, and any other applicable safety codes. In addition, take necessary
precautions during installation, service, and repair to prevent personal
injury, property loss and equipment damage.

2. Refer servicing to trained and qualified personnel only.

3. Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.

4. Be sure AC power is “Off” before opening the TLS-IB cover and
connecting probe wires. Do not short any voltage across any barrier
terminal including probes.

Probe Wiring Precautions

To The Installer! You Must Read And Understand This Information. Reference manual number 577013-578 for
additional safety related information.

PROBE WIRING POSITIONS AND LABELING

In all cases, the devices wired to the TLS-IB input terminal blocks must be recorded to prevent improper
replacement during installation or service.

Wiring Assignments

Identify all probe wires according to their terminal block location using the self-adhesive numbering labels
furnished. Accurately record on the circuit directory label (top of I.S. compartment cover plate), the tank number of
each probe as you attach wires to the probe input terminal block.

Once a device has been wired to certain terminals and the system has been programmed,
the wires from that device may not be relocated to other terminals without reprogramming
the system.

Connecting Probes to the TLS-IB

Connect the two color-coded/marked wires from each probe to the appropriate connectors (e.g., Probe 1) of the
Probe Terminal Block as shown in Figure 5-1.

Connect probe cable shields and drain wires to ground in the TLS-IB only, not at the field junction boxes. Do not
ground both ends of the shield.

AUTO PROBE CONFIGURATION

During a cold boot, the TLS-IB will automatically configure connected probes - CAUTION! For auto
configuration to occur, probes must be connected in sequence, starting at the Probe 1 input and
continuing with no skipped inputs.

For example, if you have 4 probes and you connect them to Probe inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4, auto configuration works
fine. But if you connect them to Probe 1, 3, 5, and 7 auto configuration doesn’t work, resulting in probe out alarms.
Also, the skipped inputs will be unusable.

MANUAL PROBE CONFIGURATION

If you connect probes after the system has been powered they must be manually configured. To configure probes
for the TLS-IB, use the RS-232 “Set Tank Configuration” command 601(see Table 5-3 on page 5-9).

WARNING

The TLS-IB contains voltages which can be lethal. It is connected to devices
that must be intrinsically safe.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ENVIRONMENT,
RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

1. Turn power Off at the circuit breaker connecting the power supply wires.

2. Attach conduit from the power panel to the TLS-IB Power Area
knockouts only (1 on top and 2 on bottom, ref. Figure 2-3 on page 2-6).

1. Pull four wires between the power panel and the TLS-IB; three #14 AWG or larger diameter color-coded
wires for AC line (L), AC neutral (N) and chassis ground; and one #12 AWG (4 mm

2

cross-sectional area)

green and yellow wire for barrier ground.

For international applications, console power should come from a dedicated circuit via a fused, switched, neon

indication spur within one metre of the console position. From an independent 24 hour supply at the distribu­tion panel, run three 2.5 mm
spur. Run three similar wires from the spur to the console location. Run one 4mm

2

(minimum) standard colour coded wires, live, neutral and earth, to the fused

2

wire, colour coded green/
yellow, from the earth bus bar at the distribution panel direct to the console location. Leave at least 1 metre of
free cable for connection to the console.

Use an ohmmeter to check the electrical resistance between the console’s metal case and
the earthing ground wire’s connection at the “known good earth ground” (copper rod driven
into ground, etc.). It should read less than 1 ohm.

2. Open the door of the TLS-IB and connect the four power/ground wires as shown in [Figure 5-3]. Do not
connect the power wires to breaker panel at this time.

Troubleshooting

This section contains information to help you diagnose system problems. Instructions are included for replacing
the CPU/Power Supply board in the event of a hardware failure and for installing a software upgrade.

At the end of this section you will find a list of specifications for the TLS-IB.

REPLACING THE CPU/POWER SUPPLY BOARD

The CPU/Power Supply board must be replaced if the TLS-IB fails for the reasons below:

• Probe data is not being processed - LED1 is Off (Figure 5-3 on page 5-5), or

• Power LED is Off (Figure 5-3 on page 5-5).

1. Turn Off, tag and lockout power to the system. Attach an anti-static strap to your wrist and to a good ground.

2. Tag and disconnect probe, power, serial comm and overfill alarm relay wiring to the CPU/Power Supply board.

3. The CPU/Power Supply board is secured by two T-15 Torx screws in the top of the board. After removing the
Torx screws, slowly lift up on the board until the lower tabs on the board clear the slots in the bottom of the
TLS-IB, then continue to lift the board out.

4. Replace the CPU/Power Supply board reversing the above steps.

5. Switch On power to the TLS-IB and check your system configuration for proper setup.

SOFTWARE UPGRADE

The TLS-IB firmware upgrade procedure requires the following items:

• A 3-wire serial cable constructed with a connector on one end that matches your laptop’s serial port connector

and 3-wires stripped wires on the other end that will connect to the Serial Comm plug (J3) on the TLS-IB CPU/
Power Supply board (ref. Table 5-2 on page 5-9 for pin outs).

• The TLS-IB.exe program and Firmware Upgrade file - available from Veeder-Root.

• A laptop running Windows 7 or later software.

• The serial interface type, RS-232 or RS-485, must match between the PC and the TLS-IB. (If the PC only has

232 and the IB is configured for 485 you can temporarily use the J11 C,B,A jumpers to configure the TLS-IB to
232 (or vice versa) - see Figure 5-2 on page 5-3.

Upgrade Procedure

1. With AC power switched Off, open the front cover of the TLS-IB and mark each of the three wires connected
to the TLS-IB Serial Comm plug at J3. See Figure 5-2 on page 5-3.

2. Attach the serial cable between your laptop’s serial port connector and the Serial Comm plug on the CPU/
Power Supply board.

3. Turn On power to the TLS-IB.

4. Download the V-R TLSIB Upgrade.exe program onto the laptop.

5. Install the TLSIB_Upgrade program by running TLSIB_Setup.msi or setup.msi.

6. Once installed, the TLSIB_Upgrade.exe program can be found under C:\Program Files (x86)\Veeder­Root\TLS-IB. Double click the TLSIB_Upgrade.exe to open the program and display the TLS-IB Firmware
Upgrade window (see Figure 5-4).

7. Click the Select Upgrade File button and browse for the desired firmware upgrade file, e.g., 349876­001A.txt. Select the file and click the Open button and it displays in the Firmware File field (see Figure 5-4).
