RF Transmitter Considerations
Installation of this equipment in wet or below grade locations requires that the installer take steps to ensure that
the equipment is mounted above the maximum water level.
CAUTION! – The Transmitter will not function properly in water. Also, submersion of the Transmitter in
water can cause permanent damage to the internal electronics.
Wireless 2 devices will not function properly if certain conditions arise such as, but not limited to, the
following:
• Ambient Interference – Due to site layout or vehicles parked in the RF transmission path. For
example, CSLD will not function if the transmission path is blocked for more than a few minutes.
• Improper equipment installation – Keep objects from improperly coming in contact with the
antenna. Follow these installation instructions and mount the transmitter in a fixed position to
ensure maximum RF connectivity. Antenna orientation is significant in achieving an optimal
transmission path.
• Equipment Sump Parameters – Sumps intended for use with RF equipment must accommodate the
worst case rainfall condition that could reasonably occur. The RF Transmitter and the antenna must
not come in contact with liquids from any source.
TLS System performance will be degraded should any of the above conditions occur and is not covered under the
Veeder-Root Product Warranty. Corrective actions to such conditions are the responsibility of the station-site
owner. Veeder-Root is not liable for any event that is a result of an improper installation or use of this equipment.

The steps below describe the process of verifying the Wireless System component functionality; listed steps are
only for one TLS RF. If there are more than 8 Sensors installed at the site, refer to Appendix B on how to setup the
DIP Switches for auxiliary TLS RF(s).
1. Remove all the hardware from their boxes; lay the TLS RF, Receiver, Repeater, and all the Transmitters on a
table.
2. Set Site ID for the Receiver, Repeater, and all the Transmitters (refer to Appendix B on how to set up the Site
ID). Typically the Site ID is set to 0 (default). If there is a nearby wireless site, the Site ID’s must be different.
3. Set all Transmitter’s IDs and connect the battery cables to all the Transmitters. Label each Transmitter with its
set ID.
a. Using a #15 torx driver, remove the cover of the Transmitter.
b. Remove the nut from the battery cable cord grip (right side cord grip) and slide it over the non-connector
end of the battery cable.
c. Make sure the battery/dc power cable is not connected to the battery pack or dc power source at this time.
Push the battery cable through the battery cable cord grip bushing and into the Transmitter.
d. Strip back the cable jacket and wires as shown in Figure 4.
e. Connect the battery pack/dc power cable to the BATTERY terminal block (white to +IN and black to -IN) as
shown in Figure 5.
f. Hand tighten both cable entry cord grip nuts to prevent water entry!
g. Replace the cover of the Transmitter, but do not tighten down cover screws at this time.

6. Battery power-in terminals (+IN and –IN). Observe polarity!
Pay close attention to the polarity of the +15 Vdc. Reversing the connections can cause damage to the TLS RF.
7. Cable from battery pack
4. Using a #15 torx driver, open the covers of the TLS RF, Repeater and Receiver. Make a temporary ac power
cord with a grounded plug on one end. Connect the ac power cord to the TLS RF’s input power terminals and
ground terminal (refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7). Connect a necessary length of RS-485 cable from the TLS
RF’s RS-485 terminals to the Receiver’s RS-485 terminals (refer to Figure 21). Connect a necessary length of
2-conductor cable from the Receiver’s Repeater terminals to the Repeater’s Repeater terminals (refer to
Figure 22).
5. The steps below are to verify the communication between the TLS RF Unit and the Receiver.
a. Plug the TLS RF’s ac power cord into a 120 Vac outlet. Confirm the Green /Red LEDs (refer to item 2 in
Figure 12), are flashing rapidly. This is an indication there is RS-485 network activity between the TLS RF
and the Receiver.
b. If it is, continue to Step 6.
c. If it is not, check PWR LED (refer to item 3 in Figure 12), if not lit; check power wiring. If the wiring is
correct, measure the voltage across the twisted pair power wires, it should read +15Vdc. If it is not, the TLS
RF is bad.
Pre-Installation Component Setup and Functional Check TLS RF Wireless System Site Layout
19-10
ARB Approved IOM 19 - TLS RF Wireless 2 System (W2) Installation and Maintenance Guide - Executive Order VR-203 and VR-204
d. If the Red LED (refer to item 2 in Figure 12) is not flashing, confirm the TLS RF address is set to Master
(refer to Appendix B, Figure B-1on how to set the TLS RF Device ID). If it is, the TLS RF has failed.
e. If the Red LED is flashing and the Green LED is not flashing, the TLS RF is not receiving a response from
the Receiver.
f. Confirm the Receiver PWR LED is lit (refer to item 1 in Figure 21). If not check the power wiring.
• If the power wiring is correct, measure across the +15V and GND (refer to item 4 in Figure 21), it should
be +15Vdc. If it is not, measure the voltage across the +15V and GND terminals in the TLS RF, it should
read +15Vdc. If it does, replace the twisted pair power wires. If it does not, the Receiver is bad.
• Check the RS-485 Green LED (refer to item 1 (PWR LED) in Figure 21), if it is flashing; it is receiving
Data from the TLS RF. If it is not flashing, check the RS-485 cabling between the TLS RF and the
Receiver.
• Check the Red LED (XMIT LED), if it is flashing; check the cabling. If it is not flashing, the Receiver is at
fault; replace the Receiver.
6. This step is to verify to make sure Data from the Transmitter is being received by the TLS RF. Make sure the
power to the Repeater is off.
a. Connect the first Transmitter’s battery cable to a battery pack; noting the Red LED should be flashing
momentarily then followed by the Green LED (refer to item 2 and 3 in Figure 5). Since there is no Sensor
connected, the two LEDs should be flashing. This is an indication a Sensor communication error and is
acceptable at this step.
TIP - Normal flashing is when an LED turns On for over 1 second and turns Off for over 1 second. Error
flashing is when an LE D turns On and Off every 1/2 second or less.
b. Go to the TLS RF, open its cover. One of the 8 Red received LEDs should be flashing (refer to item 5 in
Figure 12). Observe which LED is lit and compare it against the Transmitter ID; they should match. For
example, if the Transmitter ID is set to 1, the LED number 1 in the TLS RF should be flashing.
c. If the Transmitter ID and the LED in the TLS RF do not match, disconnect the Transmitter’s battery cable
from the battery pack. Move this DIP switches back and forth a few times to make sure they are set
properly. Reset this DIP Switch to the correct setting; reconnect the battery cable; confirm that the correct
LED is flashing.
d. If they still do not match, disconnect the Transmitter’s battery cable from the battery pack; change the
Transmitter ID to different setting and repeat Step 6.
e. If resetting the Transmitter to a different device ID and the LED position in the TLS RF matches; that DIP
Switch position is bad, the Transmitter is at fault.
f. If resetting the Transmitter to a different device ID and the LEDs in the TLS RF and the Transmitter are not
matched; remove the power from the Transmitter and put it aside.
g. Repeat Step 6 with the next Transmitter.
h. If both Transmitters have the same problems, it could be the Receiver or the TLS RF.
i. In the case where the LED in the TLS RF is not flashing, check the site ID in the Receiver and the
Transmitter to make sure they are correct. If the site IDs are correct, the Transmitter or the Receiver is at
fault. NOTE: Sometimes it is necessary to disconnect the battery cable from the battery pack and wait for 2
minutes and retry again to make sure the connection is established properly.
7. If all the Transmitters have been verified to be working properly, they are now ready to be installed.
8. Unplug the TLS RF, disconnect the temporary power cable and RS-485 cable to the Receiver and close the
cover of the TLS RF, but do not tighten the cover screws at this time.
9. Disconnect the temporary RS-485 and 2-conductor cables from the Receiver and replace its cover, but do
tighten at this time. Disconnect the temporary 2-conductor cable from the Repeater and replace its cover, but
do not tighten at this time.

Selecting A Location
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 2.
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 2 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.
Wiring the TLS RF
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 2)
To connect power wiring see Figure 6. To connect Receiver wiring see Figure 7. To daisy chain two TLS RFs, see
Figure 9 and Figure 10. To connect TLS RF data output wiring to the TLS console see Figure 11.
