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 CheckTLS 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.

Receiver Installation
1. One Receiver is required per site and it is mounted in the vertical position (antenna up) on the outer wall of the
same building housing the TLS RF. The Receiver is attached to its mounting bracket with #10 x 1/2” taptite
screws from its install kit (see Figure 20). The L-bracket is then mounted on the outer wall of the building using
appropriate fasteners (customer supplied). If the Receiver will be exposed to the weather, attach the L-bracket
to the mounting surface inside a weatherproof enclosure. This enclosure is not required when mounting the
Receiver under a roof overhang and shielded from the weather.
NOTE: When locating the mounting position, keep in mind that the RS-485 cable connecting the Receiver to
the TLS RF must be less than 250 feet in length. Avoid placing the Receiver near motors (e.g., power roof
vents), fluorescent lighting (min. 1 foot separation), pumps, welders.
Locate the Receiver on the same side of the building as the underground transmitters. If there are additional
tanks either too far away or on the opposite side of the building, the Repeater can be located either on a
structure near the remote tanks or on the opposite side of the building facing those tanks - see Repeater
installation.
The Receiver is only suitable for use in a non-hazardous location.
2. Run the RS-485 cable (Belden #3107A or equiv.) from the TLS RF through the building’s wall to the Receiver.
Caulk the cable where it passes through wall openings. Use cable clamps at appropriate intervals to secure
the cable to the walls.
3. Note that the Receiver cover label indicates the cord grip to be used for the RS-485 cable from the TLS RF
and the cable to the Repeater (if used). Remove the cover of the Receiver and set it aside.
4. Set S1 and S2 DIP settings as desired (ref. Appendix B, Figure B-2). NOTE: set all dip switches prior to
attaching the TLS RF RS-485 cable as the dip switches are only read during power up.
5. Slide the nut over the cable. Choose the correct size bushing and slide it over the cable. Dress the cable
jacket according to the dimensions in Figure 18. Insert the cable into the appropriate opening at the bottom of
the housing. Insert each wire into the appropriate terminal and tighten. Leave a small amount of slack in each
wire. Slide the bushing into the bottom of the housing. Hand tighten the nut.
6. Note that there are two twisted pair color-coded wires in the cable (e.g., a white with blue stripe and blue with
white stripe pair and a white with orange strip and orange with white stripe pair). One of the pairs is for RS485 communication (- & + terminals) and the other pair is for Receiver power (+15 Vdc & Gnd). Using
Figure 21 as a guide, attach the wires of the two twisted pairs to the RS-485 terminals.
Record which wire attaches to each terminal to help you attach the other end of that wire to the identically
marked terminal in the TLS RF.

Repeater Installation
1. Use of a single repeater is optional but may improve system performance when installed correctly. The
Repeater should be located closer to the device transmitters to rebroadcast messages to the Receiver. Use
the 15 Vdc power source provided in the Receiver to power the Repeater, or use a customer supplied noninterruptible, Class 2, 15 Vdc power source. The most common method of powering the Repeater power is to
use the Repeater power terminal block J4 in the Receiver (see item 9 in Figure 21).
When device transmitters are on the opposite side of the building from the Receiver, the Repeater should be
mounted on the side of the building facing those transmitters. Mount the Repeater with its transmitter antenna
in the up or vertical orientation.
2. The Repeater is attached to its mounting bracket with #10 x 1/2” taptite screws from its install kit (ref.
Figure 20 on page 28). The L-bracket is then attached to the outer wall of the building using appropriate
fasteners (customer supplied). If the Repeater will be exposed to the weather, attach the L-bracket to the
mounting surface inside a weatherproof enclosure. This enclosure is not required when mounting the Repeater
under a roof overhang and shielded from the weather.
The Repeater is only suitable for use in a non-hazardous location.
3. Set S1 and S2 as desired (refer to Appendix B). NOTE: set all dip switches prior to connecting the +15 Vdc
power cable as the dip switches are only read during power up.
4. Note the cover of the Repeater indicates the cord grip to be used for the cable connecting the Repeater to its
dc power source (item 5 in Figure 22). Remove the cover of the Repeater and set it aside.
5. Slide the nut over the cable. Choose the correct size bushing and slide it over the cable. Dress the cable
jacket according to the dimensions in Figure 18. Insert the cable into the appropriate opening at the bottom of
the housing. Insert each wire into the appropriate terminal and tighten. Leave a small amount of slack in each
wire. Slide the bushing into the bottom of the housing. Hand tighten the nut.
6. Connect the 2-wire dc power cable to the Repeater terminal block, white to +15 Vdc and black to GND (see
item 7 in Figure 22).
7.Hand tighten both cable entry cord grip nuts to prevent water entry!
8. To assure a water-tight seal between the cover and the enclosure, follow these steps:
a. Insert the four cover screws through the cover and then press on the retaining washers to hold the screws
in place.
b. Make sure that the cover gasket is free of dirt and debris on both sides of the gasket and that the inside of
the cover is clean in the gasket area.
c. Position the gasket into the cover groove, assuring that it is pressed fully into the groove and sitting
completely flat.
d. Assemble the cover onto the enclosure, tightening the screws in a couple of turns each. Using an
alternating ‘X’ pattern, continue to tighten the screws until they are all tight.
9. The other end of the Repeater’s dc power cable connects to the Receiver’s +15 Vdc output terminal (ref. item
9 in Figure 21), or to a non-interruptible, Class 2, 15 Vdc power source.

Identifying Devices in the TLS RF Wireless Site Network
The Site ID must be identical for all Transmitters, the Repeater, and the Receiver in the site’s wireless network.
Each Transmitter in the site’s wireless network must have a unique device ID number (from 1 – 32). Each TLS RF
in the site’s network must have a unique Device ID (Master at 0 and Auxiliaries at1, 2, and/or 3).
All ID numbers are converted into binary form and entered using DIP switches located in each device.
You must enter the IDs in each device before it is installed.
Making up a site network worksheet before actually setting device DIP switches or connecting signal wires will
help prevent mistakes when entering Site/Device IDs or making wiring connections between the TLS RF(s) and
the TLS console.
Entering Device I D Numbers for the Site Network
TRANSMITTER ID NUMBER
Each of the transmitters must have a unique Device ID number (1 – 32). Enter this number by setting DIP switches
4 – 8 on S1 (see Figure 19 on page 26) in the ‘off’ position or ‘on’ position as shown below.

Network SetupSite Startup Procedure
19-35
ARB Approved IOM 19 - TLS RF Wireless 2 System (W2) Installation and Maintenance Guide - Executive Order VR-203 and VR-204
Site Startup Procedure
Depending on the site layout, it is permissible to install RF devices in a variety of locations including dispensers
and containment sumps. After all the wireless equipment has been installed, follow the steps below to verify the
final setup. It is necessary not to close the dispenser’s cover after installing the Transmitter in case the signal
strength is a problem. Close the dispenser’s cover only after the Transmitter went through the second verification
process.
1. Go to the first Transmitter and connect the battery cable to the battery pack.
2. Return to the TLS RF, open its cover; you should see one of the 8 red LEDs flashing (item 5 in Figure 12). This
is an indication the transmission from the Transmitter is being received. If it is, go to Step 2a. If one of the 8
LEDs is not flashing go to Step 2b.
a. Go back to the Transmitter, and if applicable, replace the dispenser’s cover. Return to the TLS RF and verify
that the same LED is still flashing.
i. If it is, disconnect the battery cable from the battery pack and repeat Step 1 on the next Transmitter.
ii. If it is not, the Receiver is not picking up the Transmitter’s signal. Go back to the Transmitter; remove the
dispenser’s cover, reorient the antenna or lower the Transmitter, then go back to the TLS RF to verify
that the same LED is flashing.
iii. If reorienting the antenna or moving the Transmitter doesn’t help, disconnect the battery cable from the
battery pack and make a note that the signal is not being received at this particular dispenser.
iv. Repeat Step 1 with the next Transmitter.
b. If applicable, go back to the dispenser, remove the Transmitter’s cover; the green LED (item 2 in Figure 5)
should be flashing indicating that the sensor is being read. If the green LED is not flashing, check the
sensor cable’s wiring connections. If the wiring is correct, check site ID. If it is correct, it means either the
Transmitter is bad or there is a problem with the sensor, disconnect the battery cable from the battery pack
and continue to Step 1 with the next Transmitter.
3. After verifying that each Transmitter is being received at the TLS RF(s), go around to each Transmitter;
reconnect the Transmitters’ battery cable to the battery pack. Replace dispenser’s cover as appropriate. Go to
the TLS console and configure all site sensors. Check for any comm alarms. If none are observed, the startup
is complete.
NOTE: If some Transmitters are not being received at the TLS RF, relocating the Receiver and/or the Repeater may
improve reception.
Diagnostics
19-36
ARB Approved IOM 19 - TLS RF Wireless 2 System (W2) Installation and Maintenance Guide - Executive Order VR-203 and VR-204
Alarms
During normal operation when the TLS Console and monitored PMC and ISD System is functioning properly and
no warning or alarm conditions exist, the “ALL FUNCTIONS NORMAL” message will appear in the system status
(bottom) line of the console display. Regardless of the TLS Console in use at this site, record the software part
number as well as the software revision.
There is an additional alarm, battery replacement, when wireless equipment is used in place of wires. ISD, PMC
and Smart Sensor warnings and alarm are the same. If a warning or alarm condition occurs as a result of a failure
in the wireless communication hardware the system displays the communication failure for the effected Smart
Sensor. If more than one condition exists, the display will alternately flash the appropriate messages. The system
automatically prints an alarm report showing the warning or alarm type, its location and the date and time the
warning or alarm condition occurred.
Any break in link between transmitter and sensor, or between TLS and TLS RF results in Communication Alarm. All
other alarms related to individual sensor types, such as sensor fault alarm, are supported as they are with a wired
system. When the Sensor Transmitter has determined the communication with the RF box has failed it will
command the Vapor Valve to close. The valve will remain closed until an open command is sent (from the TLS)
after communication is reestablished.
Battery Diagnostics
You can get the battery status from the TLS-350 (with software Version 30A or higher). The battery status is
displayed for the wireless sensors, from the Smart Sensor Diagnostics (see Figure 24). The wireless sensors’s
battery status can also be printed from this screen.
The battery status for the wireless sensors is reported as Full, Medium, Low or Replace.
• Full: greater than or equal to 3.4 Volts
• Medium Range: 3.2V to 3.4 Volts
• Low range: 3.0V to 3.2V
• Replace: Below 3.0V
When the Smart Sensor battery reports a status ‘Replace’ continuously for 24 hours, a Smart Sensor warning will
be posted on the TLS to alert the operator that the battery requires replacement. The warning will persist in the
TLS until the battery reports ‘Medium’ or ‘Full’. The alarm will clear at that time. This is a low priority TLS warning
which will sound the beeper, flash the yellow warning light, post on the two line display, print on the printer and be
recorded in the non-priority alarm history. The warning can be accessed remotely and be reported remotely similar
to all TLS warnings and alarms. This warning will not appear in the ISD or PMC reports (only sensor failures are
recorded in the ISD and PMC reports).
WIRELESS SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC MENU (TLS-350 CONSOLES)
The Battery Status for all wireless Smart Sensors will be displayed in the menu after the Serial Number (see
