Dual DIM Installation

Some sites and dispenser configurations may require

the use of a second DIM module that would be installed

externally to perform reconciliation or VRM. This section

outlines the special installation steps required to install a

second TS-DIM on a T5 series console.

Hardware Configuration

In order for the external TS-DIM module to communicate

properly with the T5 series console a few jumpers will

need to be adjusted. To make these adjustments the cover

of the TS-DIM will need to be removed to access the

jumpers.

Device Address

The internal DIM module in the T5 series console will

always be addressed as zero. By default an external TS-

DIM will come shipped with an address of zero also. For

these two devices to exist on the same system the external

TS-DIM will need to have it’s address changed to one. Set

the external TS-DIM’s address to one by placing a jumper

on row 6 of W2.

Communication Settings

Once the external DIM has been addressed properly

the communications for the Host 1 port will need to

be changed to match the internal DIM communication

settings. The internal DIM’s communication settings

are: 9600 Baud Rate, 8 Data Bits, No Parity. To

properly configure the communication setting

on the external DIM you will need to place

jumpers on the following rows 1, 2, and 3 of W1.

Wiring the TS-DIM to a T5 Series Console

Turn off the main power source / all

power sources that terminate in the

console before working on or servicing

this equipment. Failure to do so will

create a lethal electrical shock hazard.

1. Make sure all power to the T5 Series console is

turned off at the power source.

2. Locate the Communication Ports on the T5 series

console.

3. Terminate the wires as follows:

a. Wire 485A to Terminal 485A

b. Wire 485B to Terminal 485B

c. Wire S.RTN to Terminal GND

Note: There may be RS-485 interface wires already

connected to the terminals. In this case, remove

the wire(s) and splice them with the appropriate TS-

DIM wire. Reinsert these into the correct terminal

and tighten the screw.
