Introduction Related Manuals TLS-50 system specifications • After the console is wired to its power source and probes, you should program the console following the setup instructions contained in the TLS-50 Setup & Operation Manual. Related Manuals 577013-609 TLS-50 Setup & Operation Manual 576013-635 RS-232 Serial Interface Manual 576013-859...
This system makes TLS-50 probes safe for use in a Class I, Group D hazardous location. TLS-50 probe wiring is intrinsically safe only when connected to Veeder-Root's TLS-50 Consoles. Reference Form Number 8469 (TLS-50/TLS-50C Consoles) and Form Number 8462, 8463, 8468, and 8473 (Probes).
1000 feet (304 m). 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.
Site Considerations Probe Wiring Safety Issues Probe Wiring Safety Issues WARNING Probes operate in areas where flammable liquids and explosive vapors may be present. Improper installation may result in fire or explosion causing serious injury or death. Practice the following: 1.
Page 11
Site Considerations Selecting a Console Location Select a mounting location on the inside of any building. The console must be protected from severe vibration, extremes in temperature and humidity, rain, and other conditions that could harm computerized electronic equipment. The equipment is designed to operate safely under the following range of conditions: Temperature range 0 to 40°C - ( storage temperature range of -40 to +74°C).
Console Installation Mounting the Console Figure 3 illustrates recommended console mounting. Install the console fastening devices to the mounting surface using the hole pattern (6.7” x 5.7”) shown in Figure 4. Mounting screws up to 3/16” diameter may be used. Install metal conduit (1/2”...
Console Installation Wiring the Console Wiring the Console WARNING The console contains voltages which can be lethal. It is connected to devices that must be intrinsically safe. Connecting power wires to a live circuit can cause electrical shock that may result in serious injury or death.
Probe Installation Probe Manhole Installation At each underground probe location, install a 14-inch (355 mm) minimum diameter approved manhole according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Note: probes should be located at least 24 inches (610 mm) from the submersible pump to avoid erroneous probe readings when the pump is running). Position the manhole so that there is necessary clearance for junction box installation and wiring.
Probe Installation Probe Installation CAUTION! Handle probes carefully. Striking or dropping the probe will result in loss of calibration and could cause permanent damage. Probe cable Weatherproof junction box with 1/2" NPT 14'' min. dia. manhole threads (16 cubic inch minimum) Riser cap with cord grip Cord grip seals bushing and nut...
At sites that require installation of a riser adaptor (Phil-Tite M/F 4X4 or equivalent) at the top of the riser, do so following the manufacturer’s instructions. Next screw the adapter ring from the Veeder-Root kit ( 312020-952) onto the riser adaptor by hand until the gasket contacts the sealing surface.
Probe Installation Installing Field Wiring from Probes to TLS-50 Console Installing Field Wiring from Probes to TLS-50 Console Two wiring run methods are commonly used for probes - Shielded wiring pulled through buried, sealed 1/2” rigid conduit (discussed in the following paragraphs); or direct burial cable (discussed on page 15). WARNING Probes operate in areas where flammable liquids and explosive vapors may be present.
Probe Installation Buried Rigid Conduit SEALING FIELD CONNECTIONS 1. Pull the wires from the probe canister into the junction box. Pull two wires from the console through the seal-off box and into the junction box. 2. Using wire nuts, connect the two wires from the probe to the two wires coming from the console. Be sure to observe color codes or tags when making these connections.
1/4” to 1/ 2” bead of Veeder-Root recommended silicone sealant over the backer rod to within a minimum of 3/8” below the pavement surface [see Figure 13].
Probe Installation Connecting Probes to the Console Connecting Probes to the Console WARNING The equipment is used in location where lethal voltages and explosive vapors or flammable fuels may be present. Care must be taken when installing, servicing or replacing parts in the system or serious injury or death from explosion, fire or shock may occur.

Probe Installation System Setup Security System Setup Security To protect against unauthorized access to system operation DIP switch 4 of SW1 on the Power Supply board lets you lockout setup and diagnostic menus after making initial programming (for consoles w/display only). Consoles are shipped from the factory with this switch in the open (disabled) position.
Applying Power to System Cold Boot - Initial Power Up (Consoles w/Display) Once all devices are connected to the console, attach the console power wires to the appropriate power panel connections. Close the front panel of the console. Switch on the AC power breaker. The system will automatically run a cold boot self-diagnostic program when you power up the console for the first time: Test Passed Test Failed...
Applying Power to System Warm Boot Warm Boot CONSOLES WITH DISPLAY Once the system is setup, every time power to consoles is switched Off and On, the software will run a self- diagnostic warm boot program and display the test results: Test Passed Test Failed Action (If Failed)
TO A DEVICE LESS THAN 50 FEET FROM THE CONSOLE Veeder-Root recommends that you use a null-modem cable no longer than 50 feet for direct connections between the console and a remote device. Cable runs longer than 50 feet can result in data errors, component damage, or both.
