Franklin Fueling Systems T5 Tank Sentinel Programming Guide - Manual (Page 9)

General
After the Fuel Management System has been installed, typically your interaction with the system will be from the LCD
display, on-board printer; or using TSA (Tank Sentinel Anyware) software to program and monitor the console remotely.
Remote operation can be performed from a PC, either attached directly or through a network connection to the console.
All of the features of the console are available through these input/output devices. Also, the console may be set up to
generate and send automated reports to email accounts or print reports at a programmed time.
At times, it may be required to obtain console information, such as model and serial numbers. The model number is
physically located on the face of the console. The serial number is located on a small plaque placed on the bottom of the
left panel. This label also contains the model number, voltage, manufacturer’s address, a warning symbol and the unit’s
voltage specifications.
User Interfaces (UI)
LCD Touch Screen Interface
A LCD touch screen is standard on the TS-5 (TS-608) consoles and can be ordered as an option on the TS-550
(TS-EMS) and TS-5000. The “D” designation in the console’s model number indicates that a LCD display was ordered
with the system. This bright display, with an adjustable contrast setting, allows easy viewing in any lighting condition. A
programmable screen saver automatically turns the backlight off after 5 minutes, if selected, and extends the life of the
display.
Touch Screen Calibration
During initial setup, it will be necessary to calibrate the touch screen function of the LCD display. Calibrating the
touch screen will enable the console to better recognize the area that you “touch,” so that you can accurately enter in
information. To calibrate the touch-screen function of the display, you must first access the calibration application.
1. From the
HOME MENU, press MAIN MENU > DOWN > TOOLS > TOUCHSCREEN CALIBRATION.
2. The console will ask if you are sure that you want to proceed, answer Yes.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration process.
TSA (Tank Sentinel Anyware) Interface
Each TS-5 Series console includes an Ethernet port and programming options to eliminate the need for an Ethernet
port server or a external/internal modem (although both options are still available). The advantages to using an Ethernet
connection are: faster connection speeds, quicker data transfer rates, less data errors or quicker recovery of data when
errors occur, and it does not require extra software or drivers to be loaded. This means that console parameters can be
modified and that status/alarm reports can be printed from virtually anywhere.
Access Control
There are three access levels programmed into the console’s operating system: Guest, User, and Administrator. Each
level will allow an operator to access different features or change specific settings on the console. This security feature
prevents unauthorized tampering of console configurations.
The User Role icon will appear in the upper-right corner of the LCD display as one of the following:
• ONE BAR filled operates at the GUEST level. Guests are allowed to access menu options and check the system
configurations. The GUEST will not be able to modify the console settings.
• TWO BARS filled operates at the USER level. Users are given limited access to certain areas of the operating
system to make changes or print reports.
• THREE BARS filled operates as an ADMINISTRATOR. This level grants access to all areas of programming and
setup configuration. The administrator privilege is usually assigned to the designated technician of a site.
