TMS for use with the LLP203 Sensor. Station Owner/Operator: The station owner or operator of the TMS console equipped with the LLP203 may only modify select TMS LLP203 settings. Performing the TMS AUTO CAPTURE procedure and servicing/removing the LLP203 is strictly prohibited.
Important Notes: Each product line must be tested and verified free of leaks prior to installing LLP203 sensors, and all must be tested upon startup, and routinely thereafter (at least annually) under NFPA standards. These NFPA and other industry testing practices must be followed by the installer and the end user.
CHANGE WITHIN THE PIPELINE AFTER 5 MINUTES OF Pump-OFF MUST BE LESS THAN 5 PSI. The TMS cannot be accurately calibrated unless the product is stable in pipeline. A minimum static line pressure of 20 PSI is required for the LLP203 to perform a Gross (3 GPH) line leak test. ...
