Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to guide installers, operators and technicians through programming and troubleshooting
theTS-5 console, so that it’s configured based on a site’s specific needs. The Fuel Management Systems (FMS)
application within the TS-5 Series consoles tie together the monitoring and alarm capabilities of preceding automatic
tank gauges with advanced technologies to supply tank and level data more accurately and efficiently. This manual is
also designed to introduce technicians to the optional LCD Graphical User Interface, which is used as an input device
to program system configuration and maintain all applications from the front panel of the console. Overall safety issues,
troubleshooting information, warranty, service and return policies, as defined in this manual, must be followed.
FMS Functions
The main function of the Fuel Management System is to represent levels for inventory and tank leak testing by monitoring
probe inputs and performing calculations based on those inputs. Line leak sensing devices also provide input signals.
Results from these calculations may be used for system monitoring and/or regulatory compliance. The console, in
conjunction with external fuel system equipment, may provide positive system shutdown, based on programmed rules.
Sites that utilize Fuel Management Systems have the ability to monitor and perform:
• Tank Inventory Level Information
• Tank Leak Detection
• Sensor Configuration
• Line Leak Detection
• Sump Leak Detection
• Compliance Line and Leak Testing
FMS also allows sites to generate and print the following reports:
• Inventory Reports
• Delivery Reports
• Tank Test Results
• SCALD Testing Reports
• Regulatory Reports
• Sensor Reports
