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.
