Standard Installation Materials
Recommended standard materials should be selected and
installed per all applicable local, state and federal codes
governing the installation of this product and its associated
systems. Please see the corresponding console / module
wiring section or the associated devices section of this
manual for complete installation details.
Cables Required for Liquid Level Probes, and 4-20 mA
Sensors
Use cables and wires compliant with national and local
codes. Franklin Fueling Systems recommends using the
types of cable shown below up to a recommended length of:
• Belden No. 87760 87760 (0.15" or 3.048 mm OD) to 260
feet (80 m)
• Belden No. 87761* (0.12" or 3.048 mm OD) to 400 feet
(120 m)
• Belden No. 88761 88761 (0.12" or 3.048 mm OD) to 400
feet (120 m)
• Belden No. 89182* (0.31" or 7.874 mm OD) to 1500 feet
(450 m)
Note: An asterisk (*) denotes a cable that may be ordered
from Franklin Fueling Systems.
Note: Conductors of different intrinsically safe (IS) circuits
may be run together within the same conduit, and,
when they do, they should have at least .01 inches
(.25 mm) of insulation.
Cable or Wire for 2-Wire or 3-Wire Sensors
2-wire or 3-wire sensor wire (type THHN, TFFN, or THWN,
gas and oil resistant, 18 AWG minimum, 1500 feet max.
wire run length) can be used when enclosed within rigid
metal conduit from the sensor to the console.
Leak detection sensor cable is required when NOT
run through rigid metal conduit. Refer to the Direct Burial
Cable – Installation Manual (P/N 000-1041) for further
information. See below for cable types and descriptions:
Alpha 58411 (Franklin Fueling Systems P/N
600-0062)
Two conductor cable for standard, 2 conductor leak
detection sensors (0.114 inch (2.9 mm) O.D.)
Wire required for the TS-550 evo Console
• 3 conductors: Power – 14 GA to 12 GA Max. – Black,
White, and Green
• 1 conductors: Safety Ground – 12 AWG Green (2 may
be required in some locations)
• As required conductors: Accessories – Type THHN,
TFFN, or THWN, 18 AWG minimum
Circuit Breaker
20 Amp — providing power only for the TS-550evo
console, one required per console
Weatherproof Junction Boxes
Minimum 16 cubic inch (406.4 cubic mm) weatherproof
junction box, cover, and cover gasket for the manholes
of: liquid level probes and leak detection sensors. See
our sales literature for part numbers for ½ and ¾ inch
(12.7 mm and 19.05 mm) conduit junction boxes and
recommended manufacturers. Also use ¾ to ½ inch (12.7
mm to 19.05 mm) bushings for probe/sensor compression
fittings.
Use a weatherproof metal pull box for combining several
circuits that will run into the TS-5 Series console through
one or more conduits. Use a separate weatherproof metal
pull box to combine intrinsically safe (IS) liquid level probe
and leak detection sensor wiring. Do not run other non-
intrinsically safe wiring within the IS pull box. Run ½ or ¾
inch (12.7 mm or 19.05 mm) IS probe or sensor conduit
from the manholes to the IS pull box, and then run up to
four ½ or ¾ inch (12.7 mm or 19.05 mm) conduits to the
console’s IS conduit knockouts.
Conduit
Rigid metal conduit (RMC) - male NPT threaded: use ½
or ¾ inch (12.7 mm or 19.05 mm) for IS probe and sensor
wiring to the console (from the manholes, use ½ or ¾ inch
conduit), and use ½ or ¾ inch (12.7 mm or 19.05 mm) for
non-intrinsically safe accessories and power wiring.
Use conduit hardware that is appropriate for the installation
and meets local, state and federal requirements.
Splice Connector Kits Must Be Used — Warranty
Requirement
Use the Franklin Fueling Systems-approved, moisture-
resistant, no-strip splice connectors for liquid level probe
and leak detection sensor wires. You may order the TSP-
KW30, which contains 30 of the Franklin Fueling Systems-
approved, moisture-resistant connectors.
Using moisture resistant splice connectors will:
• Reduce/eliminate corrosion of the wire connections from
repeated exposure to water condensation, which causes
eventual signal loss and system failure.
• Reduce/eliminate equipment damage from water
flooding around the connectors, which causes short-
circuit damage.
Thread Sealant (UL Classified)
Use a non-hardening, “stay-soft,” thread sealant, or
equivalent, to seal and waterproof all tank riser pipe
threads. In addition, the thread sealant (or “pipe dope”
as it is commonly known) should also be chemically
non-reactive to the product in the tank(s). Apply thread
sealant to seal/waterproof all outdoor electrical conduit
fitting threads including the hole plugs at the weatherproof
junction boxes.
Riser Pipes
ANSI Schedule 40 (or chemically non-reactive) – 4 inch
(101.6 mm) (8 NPT) riser pipes for liquid level probes.
See the appropriate leak detection sensor manual for
information on required riser pipes and riser cap adapters.
