Basic Troubleshooting Procedures Basic Troubleshooting Procedures To ensure proper and safe troubleshooting and repair procedures for the TLS-450PLUS consoles, the following steps should be taken in the order they appear, prior to servicing the system: 1. Review and thoroughly understand the “Safety Warnings” on page 1-2 of this manual.
4. Verify that power conduit and sensor and probe conduits enter TLS console only through preformed, designated knock-outs. 5. Verify that probe and sensor wiring and conduit meet Veeder-Root requirements (ref. manual P/N 577014-073). 6. If the system fails the intrinsic safety check, disconnect and cap the AC wires in the monitor, and disconnect and cap all probe and sensor field wires in the probe and sensor junction boxes.
3 Fuses The TLS-450PLUS console uses replaceable fuses on several boards and modules. Under no circumstances substitute a different rating or fuse type during service. Power Supply Fuses Table 3-1. Power Supply/AC Input board fuses Fuse Circuit Fuse Location Fuse Size/Type V-R Part No.

Field Troubleshooting Probe-Out Alarms You must verify all locations utilizing shielded cable are wired correctly. Turn off, tag, and lockout power to the console before opening display door assembly! Verify that the drain wire of the shielded cable is connected to the console end only.

4. The Probe distance from the console must be less than 1000 feet. If the distance is greater than this probe operation is not guaranteed. 5. Ensure the probe wiring conforms to the requirements detailed in the TLS-450PLUS Site Prep and Installation Manual (Veeder-Root No. 577014-073).
Probe Troubleshooting Minimum Detected Fluid Levels 13. Measure the resistance of the probe wiring from the probe end of the cable to its connections at the console. First disconnect the cable from the console and twist the two ends together. Then remove the connector from the probe canister.

11 CSLD Troubleshooting CSLD collects information during each idle time to form a highly accurate leak detection database. Since the database is being constantly updated, leak test results are always current. Periodic leak tests are performed using the best data from up to the previous 28 days, and test results are continuously updated as new data is gathered. Invalid data is discarded and only the best data is used to ensure accurate leak test results and fewer false alarms.

CSLD Troubleshooting CSLD Diagnostic Aids CSLD Diagnostic Aids Due to the complexity of CSLD, most information required to troubleshoot the product is accessible only using RS-232 commands via direct or modem connection. If you do not have a computer or data terminal to collect this data you will not be able to resolve CSLD alarms.

CSLD Troubleshooting CSLD Alarms ALARM: CSLD RATE INCR WARN A CSLD Rate Increase Warning indicates fluid is entering the tank during the leak test. This warning indicates a higher than acceptable positive increase in product calculated from the CSLD Rate Table. The threshold amounts are listed below.
2. Very high activity. Tank capacity or throughput specifications are exceeding CSLD specifications. 3. Line leak detection is running the product pump during normally idle periods.Veeder-Root line leak equipment is designed to coordinate line testing and CSLD to prevent this disturbance however in some cases conflicts may arise.

CSLD Troubleshooting Actual CSLD Test Problems Analyzed ANALYSIS OF RATE TABLE (IA51) Looking in the leak rate column (LRT) the test results start off looking reasonable, if anything they tend to be positive. Leak rates suddenly change on the 8th and are consistently negative. There is another transition on the 13th where the leak rates return to the pattern observed prior to the 8th - slightly positive.
CSLD Troubleshooting Actual CSLD Test Problems Analyzed ANALYSIS OF RATE TEST (IA52) The average leak rate (AVLRTE) is -0.259. The average leak rate is uncompensated so excessive compensation is not an issue. This leak rate is not excessively high so blender/pump sense issues are probably not involved. The tank label is SUPER so most likely it is not manifolded.
