Important Safety Messages
Franklin Fueling Systems equipment is designed to be installed in association with volatile hydrocarbon liquids such as
gasoline and diesel fuel. Installing or working on this equipment means working in an environment in which these highly
flammable liquids may be present. Working in such a hazardous environment presents a risk of severe injury or death
if these instructions and standard industry practices are not followed. Read and follow all instructions thoroughly before
installing or working on this, or any other related, equipment.
As you read this guide, please be aware of the following symbols and their meanings:
This symbol identifies a warning. A warning sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially
hazardous situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous
situation may involve the possibility of severe bodily harm or even death.
This is a caution symbol. A caution sign will appear in the text of this document when a potentially hazardous
environmental situation may arise if the instructions that follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially
hazardous environmental situation may involve the leakage of fuel from equipment that could severely harm
the environment.
This symbol identifies an electrical danger. An electrical danger sign will appear in the text of this document
when a potentially hazardous situation involving large amounts of electricity may arise if the instructions that
follow are not adhered to closely. A potentially hazardous situation may involve the possibility of electrocution,
severe bodily harm, or even death.
Warning
Danger
Caution
Follow all applicable codes governing the installation and servicing of this product and the
entire system. Always lock out and tag electrical circuit breakers while installing or servicing
this equipment and any related equipment. A potentially lethal electrical shock hazard and the
possibility of an explosion or fire from a spark can result if the electrical circuit breakers are
accidentally turned on during installation or servicing. Please refer to the Installation and Owner’s
Manual for this equipment, and the appropriate documentation for any other related equipment, for
complete installation and safety information.
Follow all federal, state and local laws governing the installation of this product and its associated
systems. When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A and 70 from the National Fire
Protection Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious
property damage and/or environmental contamination.
Always secure the work area from moving vehicles. The equipment in this manual is usually
mounted underground, so reduced visibility puts service personnel working on this equipment in
danger from moving vehicles entering the work area. To help eliminate these unsafe conditions,
secure the area by using a service truck to block access to the work environment, or by using any
other reasonable means available to ensure the safety of service personnel.
When the Fuel Management System system is used to monitor tanks containing gasoline or other
flammable substances, you may create an explosion hazard if you do not follow the requirements in
this manual carefully.
All wiring must enter the console’s enclosure through the designated knockouts. An explosion
hazard may result if other openings are used.
All wiring from probes or sensors to the console must be run in conduit separate from all other
wiring. Failure to do so will create an explosion hazard.
Substituting components could impair intrinsic safety. TS-550 evos are intrinsically safe for sensors
installed in – Class I, Division 1, Group D – hazardous locations. Substitution of components could
make the energy limiting circuitry in the system ineffective and could cause an explosion hazard.
Repairs to a TS-550 evo console or attached components should only be performed by a qualified,
factory-trained technician.
