Pre-Operational LS500 Testing

The line stability test procedure assumes that all STP’s, pump controllers, and AC inputs have been installed,

wired, calibrated and are operational and in accordance with their respective installation and operation

procedures. It also assumes that all T5 Series FMS console programming has been completed accurately.

Caution

DO NOT proceed to the Learn Process until each line successfully completes pre-operational

testing. Failure to perform this test or ignoring any failed tests may prevent the FMS application

from detecting a line leak.

Note:  State and / or local laws may require a separate, more stringent manual line tightness test. 

Before installing the LS-500, ALWAYS verify and comply with local regulations.

Note:  The STP connected to the line being tested will need to be activated by lifting the appropriate product dispenser 

handle. Verify that all STP’s and pump controllers are installed, calibrated and operational.

Note:  The lines must be able to reach 20 PSI. If the lines cannot reach 20 PSI, the issue needs to be resolved or the 

LS500 will not work in that STP.

Required Equipment

•  LS 500 3.0 GPH Leak Generator Kit (TSP-ALCAL)
•  Needle Valve Kit (TS-ALNIP)
•  Pressure gauge
•  Approved safety container

Line Stability Test

Perform the following steps for each line.

1.  Install the needle valve kit, pressure gauge and leak generator into the STP manifold. Purge the line by 

dispensing from each fueling point starting with the dispenser furthest from the tank. The STP should be running 

the full time that the line is purged.

2.  Once the line is purged, turn the STP off and monitor the pressure on the pressure gauge. The pressure should 

not change more than 5 PSI (34.5 Kpa) in 5 minutes. If it does not change more than 5 PSI in 5 minutes proceed 

to the learn process. If the pressure changes more than 5 PSI purge the lines again, and re-test.
