Introduction
This manual contains instructions for using the Workflow Wizard Setup Application in the TLS450PLUS and TLS4/8601
Series consoles. Workflow Wizard guides the user through the Veeder-Root recommended setup screens during the
console’s initial commissioning.
This manual assumes all devices are connected the console and that a site diagram of all probes, sensors and tanks is at
hand to assist in determining the correct console addresses for these devices. The procedures herein are intended to be
followed using the console’s touch screen. Other setup interface methods vary in feature and accessibility options.
Some of the screens are only visible if the applicable features/devices are installed in your console. Skip over programming
instructions for any features/devices that are not installed in your console.

Web-Enabled Console Access
Web-enabled Console Access allows users to use a Web browser to access many of the screens from a console on your
network. An example web-accessed home screen is shown below:
NOTICE
We advise that your IT department set up new users for Web access in System Administration &gt; Users Admin
with a username, password and appropriate role to access the screens.
We also advise that your IT department enable Front Panel Security on the console in Setup &gt; System &gt; Security
if you have not done so already.
1. Obtain the login information from your IT department. Generally, this is the IP address or machine name for the
console, the port number used for HTTPS access, and the username and password used for Web-Enabled access.
2. Open a Web browser (i.e., Edge, Chrome, Foxfire) that is on the same network as the console.In the address bar, type
https:// and the address information given to you by your IT department. It will generally be in the format of https://
y.y.y.y with “y.y.y.y” being the IP address for the console but may be https://y.y.y.y:z with “z” being the port number used
for HTTPS Web access.
NOTICE
The port number may not be necessary, depending on your setup. If using any port other than the default of 443,
you will need to specify the port as shown above.
3. In most browsers, a warning screen will display. This warning screen is to alert you about the certificates associated
with the console. In this case, because you know you will be connecting to a console on your network, you can
proceed with the connection:
• Chrome: Select Advanced, then select Proceed to y.y.y.y
• Firefox: Select Advanced, then select Accept the Risk and Continue
• Edge: Select More information, then select Go on to the webpage
4. Enter the username and password given to you by your IT department and click Sign In.
5. The Web-Enabled Home screen displays.

Action
Is access to the HTTPS
Port enabled?
Contact your IT department to see if settings on Setup &gt; System &gt; Security for
HTTP Port (Web Access) can be set to
enabled.
Do you need additional
information other than IP
address?
Contact your IT department to see if you
need different IP address, machine name
or different port number instead of the IP
address and/or port name you were
given.
Can you “ping” the console from your device?
Use Ping from the command line prompt/
Powershell to attempt to reach the console. If you can, contact your IT department to see if any settings can be
adjusted for you to access the console.
Is there a communication
breakdown from your
device to the console?
Use Traceroute from the command line
prompt/Powershell to locate the point
where communication breaks. Contact
your IT department with this information to
allow them to troubleshoot the communication breakdown.
Is your software up to
date?
Consider updating your console software
to the latest version to take advantage of
security updates.

Initial Screen - Menu&gt;Setup&gt;Workflow Wizard&gt;Setup Workflow
The initial setup screen in the Workflow Wizard app is shown below. Note that the Workflow Wizard steps through the
setup screens in a V-R recommended sequence for initial setup of the console. This manual assumes all devices are
connected and recommends you are accessing WW setup from the console GUI. Other setup interface methods vary in
feature and accessibility options.
Navigating Workflow Wizard is described in the figure below. When you exit the Workflow Wizard app, or it times out,
reentering the app always returns you to the initial screen. To return to the screen you were working on after exiting the app,
touch the Next button repeatedly until the desired screen is displayed.
Once the console is setup and functioning and a screen needs modification, the user would likely use the standard quicker
path (from the home screen) to the desired screen, e.g., Menu&gt;Setup&gt;etc&gt;etc.

Site Shutdown Detect
[with Intelligent Pump Control]
Touch the appropriate radio button to Enable or Disable pump
controller communication alarm filtering during site shutdown.
If enabled, pump controller communication alarms filtered so
that when a site is shut down, only those communication
alarms that were active prior to the shutdown remain active
when the site is back up again. Communication alarms resulting only from the shutdown itself are filtered.
Alarm Filtering
When this feature is enabled, the console manipulates a combination of the detection time
(the time before an alarm sounds) and the clear time (the time before an alarm is reset) for
certain alarms that often go in and out of an alarm state in a short period of time. In addition, some alarm reports during the clear time are consolidated, reducing their number
without eliminating the alarm reports.
Touch the appropriate radio button to Enable or Disable alarm filtering.

Setup&gt;Vapor Monitor&gt;General
This screen lets you set Sensor Test Settings and Assessment time for sensors used in Vapor
Monitor.
Assessment Time
[This field is only available if your region uses assessment in
the Vapor Monitor algorithm.]
The time that the current status of the system is assessed
for Vapor Pressure Monitor, Vapor Pressure Management
and Vapor Leak Detection. Failures and warnings post and
daily assessments begin anew at this time. Shutdowns also
occur at this time. All zones are assessed at the same time.
Hourly assessments take place at the &quot;minutes&quot; mark.
For example, choosing 2 Hours 30 Minutes AM would set an
assessment time of 2:30AM. Daily assessments (and associated failures and warnings) would occur at 2:30AM, and
hourly assessments on the half hour.
Sensor Test Warn Days
Limits the number of days the site will post warnings for the
Sensor Test.
Sometimes a tank configuration will produce nuisance Sensor Test warnings. The Sensor Test Warn Days field allows
you to set a number of days before the alarms will post.
However, the system will still count these days and record
them in PM Events. Warnings will post after this time period
and failures/shutdowns will occur as normal.
For example, if you enter 5 in this field, Sensor Test Warnings will post only on the 6th day, and a shutdown for the
zone associated with the sensor will occur on the 7th day.
Setup&gt;Vapor Monitor&gt;Collection Monitor

Stick Height Offset
Gross Test Fail
[Field available only if Stick Height is enabled in S“Setup&gt;Tank&gt;All
Tanks”].
The value This value compensates for the difference between the stick (no
tilt) and the gage. The difference is due to the stick and the probe measuring
slightly different locations in a tilted tank since the riser used for the stick
measurement is different than the riser used for the probe.
Offset values can be +144 to -144 inches (+365.76 to -365.76 cm).
The stick height equals the tank height (without the tilt), plus the stick height
offset. However, if the calculated stick height is greater than the tank diameter, the stick height is set to the tank diameter. If the stick height is less than
zero, it will be set to zero.
NOTE: All displays of height include tilt. When determining the stick offset,
the tilt adder must be taken into account.
Stick height is not used for volume calculation; it is for display only.

Delivery Delay
Because the system has the ability to detect a delivery automatically, the
time entered in this field represents the delay (in minutes, usually 5 - 10)
after the actual delivery and before the console indicates that a delivery is
complete. This delay provides extra time for the fuel level to stabilize, preventing false alarms and warnings and ensuring a more accurate delivery

Delivery Limit (% of Full Volume)
Delivery limit alarms occur when the volume of product in
the tank drops to a level at which you should request a delivery. This is referred to as the minimum operating capacity.
Set this value at a volume higher than that of the Low Product Volume field.
Low Product
Low product is typically used to indicate that the inventory is
at a critical point and the operator/owner should consider
taking the tank out of service until a delivery is made. Normally, this is set around 5-10% of the tank's capacity. A Low

to know when and how much water you have in the tank.
Typical water warning setting is 2 inches and is lower than
the high water alarm.
NOTE: This message does not appear for tanks in which high
alcohol probes are installed.
High Water Alarm
When water in the tank rises to the high water alarm value,
the console triggers an alarm. Set this value at a level lower
than the pickup for the submersible pump or suction line.
NOTE: This message does not appear for tanks in which high
alcohol probes are installed.
High Product (% of max. vol.)
High Product alarms occur when the volume of fluid in the tank exceeds the value you enter
in this field, typically set to 95%.
In U.S. installations, this is especially useful in applications such as in used-oil holding tanks,
where the rate of fill can be too gradual for the system to recognize the increase as a delivery and possibly fail to activate the Delivery Overfill Limit Alarm.
In International Sites this field is useful to warn of an impending over-fill (it can trigger the
same alarm indications as Overfill Limit):
• Set this limit to 98% if the Maximum (Label) Volume value is greater than 25,000 liters.
• Set this limit to 96% if the Maximum (Label) Volume value is less than 25,000 liters.

Water Alarm Filter Level
Leak Alarm Limit - continued
The water alarm filter controls the high water alarm response time and false
alarm filtering. The filter provides four levels of filtering: Off, Low, Medium,
and High.
NOTE: If the tank is installed in an area that is prone to surface flooding,
openings to the tank should be sealed to prevent rapid flow of water in the
tank.
Low - The Low setting is the optimum setting for most applications. To
reduce false alarms, the Low setting delays the reporting of the high water
alarm by three minutes. It monitors the alarm when a delivery is in progress.
This is the default.
Medium - If a tank is reporting false water alarms when the tank is receiving a delivery, it may be necessary to increase the water alarm level to
Medium or High.
These settings disable the alarm when a delivery is in progress. Therefore,
steps should be taken to see if the installation can be modified to reduce the
effect of delivery turbulence. See below for additional steps to take to
reduce false alarms during a delivery.
High - The High level setting has more filtering than the Medium setting and
should only be used if the Medium setting is not effective. Like the Medium
level, it disables the high water alarm when a delivery is in progress and the
additional steps below to reduce false alarms should be taken.
A high flow of water into the tank could be mistakenly identified as a delivery
and prevent the detection of the high water alarm. The High filter level
should be avoided in areas prone to surface flooding.
Off -The Off setting is similar to the Low setting but it allows you to reduce
the high alarm delay time. The delay time can be set at 30 to 180 seconds in
30-second intervals in the Water Alarm Filter Delay field below. The Off setting will monitor the High Water Alarm when a delivery is in progress.
Steps to take to reduce false alarms during a delivery:
• Increase the high water alarm threshold - Increasing the high water alarm
threshold may move the threshold above the effect of delivery turbulence.
Do NOT increase the alarm threshold higher than the pump inlet location.
• Move the probe to a location farther away from the delivery riser - If
another riser is available, moving the probe farther away from the delivery
turbulence may eliminate false alarms.
• Install a delivery fill tube - If the delivery riser does not have a delivery fill
tube, installing one will reduce delivery turbulence and may eliminate false
alarms.
• Modify the delivery fill tube to direct flow away from the probe - Cut the
bottom of the delivery fill tube at a 45&deg; angle and positioning the angle so
that it points away from the probe. This will direct the turbulence away
from the probe and may eliminate false alarms.
Consider both the leak rate you wish to identify, and the length of the test,
when determining a value for leak alarm limit. For example, a value of 8 gallons (32 liters) will warn of:
• A 1 gph (4 lph) leak in 8 hours
• A 2 gph (8 lph) leak in 4 hours
Note: The console automatically interprets the limit you enter as a negative.
It is not necessary to enter the minus (-) sign.
Sudden Loss Limit
[Applies to SLD and Timed Sudden Loss Detection (TSLD) tests only]
This value allows the system to look for significant losses during a quiet
period to determine if the tank is leaking or fuel has left the tank (e.g., by
bypassing the dispenser meters). It is not based on TC Volume and is
intended to identify losses larger than the leak alarm limit. The default is 99
gallons (374.7 liters) but can be set to 1 to 999,999 gallons (3.78 to 3781.63
liters). Typically, you should set this limit to 25 gallons (100 liters) or higher.
If you are getting too many false alarms, consider increasing this limit.
Note: Siphoned-manifolded tanks are monitored as a single tank. The Sudden Loss Limit threshold is the sum of the thresholds for each member of the
manifolded set.
Density Low Limit
[Field only available if density probe is installed]
Triggers density warning (when greater than the value you enter here plus
1.00kg/m3 (0.062 lbs/ft3) and a density alarm.
Density High Limit
[Field only available if density probe is installed]
Triggers density warning (when greater than the value you enter here minus
1.00kg/m3 (0.062 lbs/ft3) and a density alarm.
Fuel Low Temperature Limit
The limit that triggers a low fuel temperature alarm. The default is -50
degrees Celsius (-58 degrees Fahrenheit). The alarm clears when the fuel in
the tank returns to a temperature that is two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees
Fahrenheit) higher than this temperature.
Fuel High Temperature Limit
The limit that triggers a high fuel temperature alarm. The default is 60
degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). The alarm clears when the fuel in
the tank returns to a temperature that is two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees
Fahrenheit) lower than this temperature.
Water Alarm Filter Delay
• This field is available if you set the Water Alarm Filter level to Off in the
field above. It allows you to choose the reporting time of the Water Alarm
for the Off level. You can choose 30 to 180 seconds in 30 second intervals.
The default is 180 seconds.
Leak Alarm Limit
[Applies to SLD tests only]
During a leak test, the leak alarm limit alerts you when the cumulative temperature compensated (TC) product loss from a tank reaches the leak alarm
limit value and helps identify large losses of product during a leak test.
To prevent false reports and alarms from being triggered, do not set the limit
value to identify losses of 0.2 gph (0.76 lph) or less during the test period.
The leak alarm limit should be set to identify losses of 1 gph (4 lph) or
greater.

Setup&gt;Tank&gt;Profile
Setup&gt;Tank&gt;Profile
Charts define how the console calculates the volume of fuel in each tank. A point in a chart
specifies a height value at a certain volume of fuel (chart data is stored for each monitored
tank). This information is critical for proper operation. This screen lets you manually setup a
tank chart using one of four tank profiles listed below.
Twenty Point - This option uses 20 Points to profile a tank.
The requested volumes are percentages of height (e.g., the
5% volume of a 96&quot; diameter tank = the volume at a height
which is 5% of 96&quot; or 4.8”).
This selection can be used for all rounded-end and dishedend tanks.
Linear - This option requires only the 100% (full) volume to
profile a tank.
NOTE: Instead of entering a diameter value in the diameter
field, enter a height value in the diameter field of the
“Setup&gt;Tank&gt;General” screen.
This profile can be used for flat-end cylindrical tanks standing on end, and for rectangular tanks.
Multi Point - This option is used for charts having more
than 20 points. See Setup &gt; Tank &gt; Multi Point for more information.
Full Volume
You must have entered the diameter and full volume before selecting a tank chart (see
“Setup&gt;Tank&gt;General”).
Select a tank from the icon list on the bottom of the screen to configure.

Four Point - This option requires 4 points to profile the tank. The requested volumes are at
percentages of height (e.g., the 75% volume of a 96&quot; diameter tank equals the volume at a
height which is 75% of 96&quot; or 72&quot;).
This selection can be used for all rounded- and dished-end tanks, and should be selected

Setup&gt;Tank&gt;HRM Limits (International Option)
Setup&gt;Tank&gt;HRM Limits (International Option)
When running the BIR program, the system has the capability to run in HRM mode, which
provides hourly reconciliation results. HRM is used in countries that use metric mode.
When a console is in HRM (Hourly Reconciliation Monitoring) mode, a tank Maximum Volume
Limit threshold is imposed. This screen lets you view and set three HRM volume threshold
alarms.
Warning Limit
An hourly limit in the variance in inventory, that when exceeded generates a warning.
The default warning limit is 3 litres. Min. value is 1 litre and max. value is 400 litres.
Alarm Limit
An hourly limit in the variance in inventory, that when exceeded generates an alarm. The
default warning limit is 4 litres. Min. value is 1 litre and max. value is 400 litres.
38
Maximum Volume Limit
When the Accuchart calibrated full volume value is less than
the programmed tank full volume, it may be necessary to
decrease the max/label volume threshold from Setup &gt;
Tank &gt; Limits. The minimum difference between the
Accuchart full volume and the max/label volume threshold is
the HRM maximum volume limit value entered in this field.
The allowed range is 1-999 liters. The default is 500 liters.
NOTE: If you are enabling Working Capacity as part of HRM,
this value is used to detect if the Working Capacity is
deemed too close to the Full Volume (Capacity) value (from
Setup &gt; Tank &gt; General.) The system compares the Calculated Working Capacity (Capacity-Maximum Volume Limit)
and Max (Label) Volume and if the Calculated Working
Capacity volume is less than Maximum Volume Limit, the
Working Capacity is adjusted. This is done to provide a buffer
in the tank to assist in preventing an overfill and allows room
for fuel expansion.
Other notes: The default 500 liter limit is programmed as
132 gallons. In metric mode this gets displayed as 499.674.
Changing the US limit to 132.09 will display as 500 liters.
There is no need to display resolution lower than 1 liter.

Monitor. This is done by selecting a set of tanks connected by vapor piping that correspond to
a Vapor Pressure Sensor (VPS). The result is a vapor zone..
Selection Criteria
Select the Vapor Pressure Sensor to configure. The Vapor
Pressure Sensor must be set up before configuring zones.
Only one VPS monitors each pressure zone. You can have
vapor pressure sensors that are configured but are not
assigned to a zone.
NOTE: Additional sensors are allowed per zone for testing
purposes, but only one VPS is the monitor for each zone as
Vapor Pressure Monitoring
Serial Number
The serial number for the selected Vapor Pressure Sensor
set in Setup &gt; Devices. If the VPS is disabled, ‘** VPS Disabled’ displays in this field.
Label
The label for the selected Vapor Pressure Sensor set in
Setup &gt; Devices. If the VPS is disabled, this field is blank.
Configure Pressure Monitor
Enables/disables the selected vapor pressure sensor as a
pressure zone for Vapor Pressure Monitor.
Available Tanks
NOTE: for systems with probe-less tanks, the VPS Zone may be empty. In this case, the Sensor Test will not be able to use ullage to determine fuel movement.
You shut down zones by using a relay set up in Device Tasks in Automatic Events.
The states in the vapor zone are as follows:
Inactive: The VPS is enabled, but not configured for Vapor Pressure Monitor.
Active: The vapor zone is active and collecting pressure events.
Shutdown: The vapor zone has failed a test and all pumping is disabled in the zone. If a
vapor zone is shut down, perform a Clear Test Failure to return zone to the Active state.
Override: The site was shut down, a user overrode the shutdown using Clear Test Failure
and the site is temporarily operational. At the next assessment time (set in Setup &gt; Vapor
Monitor &gt; General), it may be shut down again. A record of these events is found in PM
Events History.
Tanks available for setup within a Vapor Pressure Zone.
Tanks that appear on the list have a vapor coefficient in the
required range for Vapor Monitor which is greater than
0.00060 U.S. units and less than or equal to 0.00079 U.S
units (0.00108 and 0.00126 metric units) and have not
already been included in a zone.

Setup&gt;Tank Chart&gt;AccuChart
This screen lets you setup the AccuChart automatic calibration feature for a tank.
Calibration Period
Touch to enter the number of days to calibrate the tank (typically 30 - 120 days).
The calibration period depends on tank activity. A lowthroughput tank (e.g., one that has a &quot;high test&quot; fuel) may
require a longer calibration period than a quick-throughput
tank (e.g., one that has &quot;regular&quot; fuel).
NOTE: If, at one day prior to the end of your calibration
period selection, AccuChart has insufficient data to create a
tank chart, it posts a warning (if the Enable AccuChart Warnings field below is set to Enabled), allowing you the opportunity to extend the calibration period.
Days Left to Calibration Completion
[Read-only field] The number of days remaining to complete
the calibration (after you initiate a calibration using the Start
button), including the start date of the calibration.
Exclude Days
Make sure the following is done before you start an AccuChart calibration:
• The tank has a chart created in Tank Profile which will be used in the AccuChart calibration.
• The dispenser meters are calibrated so the system has accurate dispense measurements
to use in the AccuChart calibration process.
Select any tank from the icon list on the bottom of the screen to enter its AccuChart settings.
Update Schedule Describes how AccuChart calibration charts are updated and assigned to tanks Method:
Immediate - The active chart is updated every time AccuChart generates a chart. Because
the chart immediately becomes active, the console calculation of product volume will also
change based on the data in the newly active chart.
Charts may be created multiple times during the calibration period, so the calculated product
volume may also change multiple times.
If you enable AccuChart warnings, the console will post warnings if charts have not been
generated during the calibration period.
Periodic - Select up to four target dates on which the console will activate a generated
chart. If a chart is available on one of the target dates, the console activates the chart. You
can view available charts in “Setup&gt;Tank Chart&gt;Charts”.
If there are multiple charts available, the console will activate the chart with the best data
sufficiency. See the Actions&gt;Help&gt;Diagnostic&gt;AccuChart&gt;Data Sufficiency topic for more
information.
If you enable AccuChart warnings, the console will post alarms if the console has not generated any charts during the calibration period. On the final target date the console will also
post a warning if there are no new charts available for this tank.
Complete - The last chart generated by AccuChart at the end of the calibration period
becomes the active chart. Data Sufficiency is not considered; only the date the chart was
created.
If you enable AccuChart warnings, the console will post warnings if charts have not been
generated during the calibration period.
Never - The console never automatically makes an AccuChart-generated chart the active
chart for this tank.
Apply Date 1 - Date 4 Fields
[Field available only if the Update Schedule field is set to Period]
Touch to enter four target dates for periodic generation of an active chart by the console.
The recommended periodic selection period is 14 days apart (for example, 14, 28, 42 and
56).
44
Touch to remove specific days from the calibration period.
For example, you may want to exclude the days the site had
maintenance performed, such as when meter calibration
occurs.
NOTE: If you need to exclude more than 25% of the calibration period, we recommend you stop the tank calibration.
Delete any created charts and restart the calibration.
Enable AccuChart Warnings
Touch to enable or disable AccuChart warnings. When
enabled, the system produces a warning when AccuChart
has not completed a calibration because of insufficient data.
See Diagnostic&gt;AccuChart&gt;Calibration Feedback for more
information.
Min Operating Level%
Touch to enter the desired minimum operating height of the
fuel (as percentage of tank diameter) for valid calibration
results. It should be greater than or equal to 10%. The
default is 10%.
Max Operating Level%
Touch to enter the desired maximum operating height of the
fuel (as percentage of tank diameter) for valid calibration
results. It should be less than or equal to 95%. The default is
95%.
NOTE: The difference between the Min Operating Level% and
the Max Operating Level% should be at least 50% and should
include the midpoint of the tank (50%). The 50% setting cannot be the endpoint of the range between the Min and Max
Operating Level%. For example, you can enter a range of
25% to 85%, but you cannot enter a range of 5% to 50%.
Start
Touch Actions
then the Start
on the Actions popup
menu. If you select at the prompt to start the calibration, a
new AccuChart calibration is started and the following is
done:
• Sets the Start of Calibration field to the current date.

Notes When Working with AccuChart:
If the console is powered down during one of the Immediate or Periodic
updates, or if a time/date change is made at this time, the update will be
missed. If this occurs during the final Periodic update, or at the end of the
calibration period for Immediate and Complete update selections, the calibration will be attempted at the next date change. The update will be done
with this calibration, or the last generated calibration, or AccuChart will
generate warnings.
• If you enter the Apply Date values in a random order, the system will rearrange them in increasing order (after screen is refreshed). Empty Apply
Date 1 through 4 fields will be grouped at the bottom of the set. This may
cause the entered values to move around.
• If the calibration is in progress and the console clock is set back before
the start of calibration, the start of calibration will be moved back to the
new time, and the 'Update Schedule' dates will all be adjusted appropriately (including Periodic).

With Intelligent Pump Control, the pump name (P1/T5 - Primary) may also
include the pump (P1), the tank (T5) if assigned, and how this pump is used
(Primary):
• In applicable Dispense modes, when there is one pump in a tank (or
siphon-manifolded tank group), it is marked “Stand-alone”. It is the only
pump available to run.
• In applicable Dispense modes, when there are two or more pumps in a
tank (or siphon-manifolded tank group) and none are marked as a
Primary pump, they are marked “Alternate”. The alternate with each
switch hook as determined by the Dispense Mode.
• If there are two or more pumps in a tank (or siphon-manifolded tank
group) and one is checked as a Primary pump, all other pumps are marked
as “Secondary”.
1. To prevent backfilling, the level of all tanks connected to the line will be monitored. If the level of any tank exceeds 95% of the Max or Label Volume
limit (see “Setup&gt;Tank&gt;Limits” on page 32), the pump for that tank will also be turned on during dispensing. The state of the pump that was
already ON will not be changed.
2. At locations with manifolded fuel lines that have a mechanical line leak detector installed for each pump, the TLS Console must be programmed
for either Alternate or Sequential. Doing so ensures that each line meets the 3 GPH requirement.

test) begins, the relay is opened to prevent the IQ Control Box from requesting help from another pump while the test is running.
The IQ Box must be set to Manual PLLD mode and the relay selected must be
set in Setup &gt; Devices (Relays) as a Pump Comm Control relay.
(0.76lph) test is run, followed by the 0.1 gph (0.38lph) test. The test blockout
period (the Precision Test Delay in “Setup&gt;Pumps and Lines&gt;All PLLD”)
is then observed. Following the test blockout period, the test sequence
repeats after the next dispense. This selection also enables manual 0.1 gph
(0.38lph) testing tests to run when manually started.
Auto - The 0.1 gph (0.38lph) test is automatically scheduled to run 6 months
after the last passed 0.1 gph (0.38lph) test. This setting also gives you the
option to run the Passive 0.1 gph (0.38lph) Line Leak Test.
Manual - 0.1 gph (0.38lph) test runs only when manually started in Diagnos-
tics&gt;PLLD&gt;Manual Tests.

Enables a 0.1 gph (0.38lph) test to run after a passed 0.2 gph (0.76lph) test
without the 0.1 gph (0.38lph) test being actively scheduled. If the 0.1 gph
(0.38lph) test also passes, you are notified in Diagnostics&gt;PLLD&gt; 0.1 GPH
Tests. If it fails, there is no notification of the passive 0.1 gph (0.38lph) test.
Allowable selections: Yes, No (default is No).
Shutdown Rate
The line is shut down if a specified or less precise PLLD test fails. For example, if you set the shutdown rate for 0.2 gph (0.76lph), the line will shut down
if it fails both the 3.0 gph (11.3lph) test and the 0.2 gph (0.76lph) test.
Allowable selections: 3.0 gph (11.3lph), 0.2 gph (0.76lph), 0.1gph (0.38lph),

This screen lets you configure temperature sensors on a line for the automatic mode of
Recirculation.
High Recirculation Temp
When any of the temperature sensors on the line reach this
temperature, the recirculation starts and recirculation will
try to bring the temperature down to the normal temperature level. The default value is 85.0&deg;F (29.4&deg;C) and the range
is 70.0&deg;F to 120.0&deg;F (21.1&deg;C to 48.8&deg;C).
Available Sensors
Displays available temperature sensors.
Selected Sensors
Displays the temperature sensors that are associated with
this line.
Line Label
Description of the line set in Setup&gt;Pumps and Lines&gt;Line.
Configured
Enables the Recirculation functionality for the selected line. Disabling Recirculation does not
disable the temperature sensors (seen below) that are associated with a line.
Freeze Warning Temp
When any of the temperature sensors on the line reach this temperature, a Freeze Warning
is triggered. This alerts the operator that recirculation has failed to raise the temperature in
the line to a level that is above freezing.
The default temperature is 17.0&deg;F (-8&deg;C). The range depends on the brand of temperature
sensor but the upper limit is 40.0&deg;F (4.4&deg;C).
Low Temp Recirculation
Enables and disables the Low Temp Recirculation, allowing you to specify the temperature
below.
Low Recirculation Temp
When any of the temperature sensors on the line reach this temperature, automatic recirculation starts and recirculation will try to bring the temperature back to the normal temperature level. The default temperature is 30.0&deg;F (-1.1&deg;C) and the range is 12.0&deg;F to 40.0&deg;F (11.1&deg;C to 4.4&deg;C). The Low Recirculation temperature must be higher than the Freeze Warning
Temperature set above.

Setup&gt;Temp Control - [Available with Temp Control]
Setup&gt;Temp Control - [Available with Temp Control]
This screen lets you associate a relay with temperature sensors and set the temperatures at
which the relay will turn on and off.
One way Temp Control can be used is with an auxiliary heating or cooling system to prevent
freezing or heat degradation of the fluid in a line in conjunction with Recirculation.
At least one temperature sensor must be assigned to a temperature control relay. You may
assign multiple sensors to a relay as well as assigning a sensor to multiple relays.
Relay Control Off Temp
When all of the sensors associated with the relay detect this
temperature, the relay turns off.
The range you can enter in this field varies by sensor brand.
The default is 24.0&deg;F (-4.4&deg;C).
Low Temp Warning
Enables or disables the Low Temp warning given when an
associated temperature sensor detects the Low Temperature set below. This is intended as a warning to the operator
that the relay may not be working correctly.
Low Temperature
The temperature that triggers the Low Temp warning. The
default is 17.0&deg;F (-8.3&deg;C). In heating mode, the temperature
must be lower than the Relay Control On Temp above. In
cooling mode, the temperature must be higher than the
Relay Control Off Temp above.
High Temp Warning
Enables or disables the High Temp warning given when the
temperature sensor detects the High Temperature set
below. This is intended as a warning to the operator that the
relay may not be working correctly.
High Temperature
Configured
The temperature that triggers the High Temp warning. The
default is 75.0&deg;F (23.8&deg;C). In heating mode, the temperature
must be higher than the Relay Control Off Temp above. In
cooling mode, the temperature must be lower than the Relay
Control On Temp.
Enables or disables this relay for Temp Control.
Available Sensors
Operation Mode
Sensors that are available to control this relay (any enabled
temperature sensor).
Relay Label
The label given to the relay in Setup&gt;Devices.
Allows you to choose between heating mode and cooling mode, depending on how you want
to use this relay.
Relay Control On Temp
Selected Sensors
Sensors that are associated with this relay.
When any of the sensors associated with the relay detect this temperature, the relay turns
on and remains on until the Relay Control Off Temp is detected by all of the sensors associated with the relay.
The range of temperatures you can enter varies by sensor brand. The default is 19.0&deg;F (7.2&deg;C).
For example, you can use the Relay Control Off Temp and Relay Control On Temp fields as follows:
• In heating mode, you can set up an auxiliary heating system so the relay turns it on when
any of the associated temp sensors detect the low temperature, then off when all associated temp sensors detect the high temperature.
If the &quot;On&quot; temperature is 19&deg;F (-7.2&deg;C) and the &quot;Off&quot; temperature is 24&deg;F (-4.4&deg;C), when
the fluid temperature reaches 19&deg;F (-7.2&deg;C), the relay turns on the heating system to heat
the fluid. When the temperature reaches 24.0&deg;F (-4.4&deg;C), the relay will turn off the heating
system.
• In cooling mode, you can set up an auxiliary heating system so the relay turns it on when
any of the associated sensors detect the high temperature, then off when all associated
sensors detect the low temperature.
If the &quot;On&quot; temperature is 85.0&deg;F (29.4&deg;C) and the &quot;Off&quot; temperature is 79.0&deg;F (26.1&deg;C), as
the temperature rises to 85.0&deg;F (29.4&deg;C), the relay turns on the cooling system to cool the
fluid. When the temperature reaches 79.0&deg;F (26.1&deg;C), the relay (and thus the cooling system) turns off..

System Administration&gt;Users Admin
System Administration&gt;Users Admin
This screen lets you set up users with different roles (levels of security) so you can control a
user's access to specific screens on the console. This is necessary when you want to ensure
untrained personal are not changing the programming and possibly disabling different
aspects of your compliance reporting. NOTE: the first user created must have the admin role.
IMPORTANT
• If this is the first time you are entering users on the console, you have full access to add,
modify, or delete users at any role (level). Once you setup users, however, only users with
an Administrator role have the ability to add or delete users.
• After you add a user, make sure you enable the Front Panel Security field in “Setup&gt;System&gt;Security” screen for the user login feature to be activated.
The data in this columns of this screen will differ for Users and Administrators as follows:

Setup&gt;System&gt;Security
Setup&gt;System&gt;Security
This screen lets you enable the front panel security feature which requires a password for a
user to login to the console. With this feature disabled (i.e., no password required), all users
can access all screens. When enabled, users must login with the appropriate password to
gain access to the programs they are allowed to view (as set up in the“System Administration&gt;Users Admin” screen). This is helpful when you want to limit access to sensitive areas
of the system, such as the setup and diagnostic screens.
NOTES:
• This feature cannot be enabled until an Administrator account has been created (done in
the System Administration&gt;Users Admin screen).
• Once the Front Panel Security field is enabled, you must enter the correct password or you
will remain in the logged-out mode. In the logged-out mode, you can only view a very limited number of screens (such as system status).
SSH Port
Enables or disables the ability for the TLS to respond to SSH
connections on the designated SSH port (configured in Setup
&gt; Communication &gt; Ethernet Port.)
When this field is disabled, all SSH port traffic is disabled.
This includes access from Veeder-Root Technical Support
and Remote Services (Insite360TM, FuelQuestTM, and
Inform.Web).
HTTPS Port (Web Access)
Enables or disables the use of the Web server (Apache)
including Web services and user Web view access via the
HTTPS Port (configured in Setup &gt; Communication &gt; Ethernet Port.) When disabled, all configuration of the TLS must
be done via the GUI or serial commands. Other services such
as SSH access and email continue to function. The default is
enabled.
User Admin via Web
Enables or disables user admin management using the System Administration &gt; Users Admin screen via the Web view.
When disabled, access to the Users Admin screen would be
available via the GUI interface only.
Front Panel Security
Enables or disables the front panel security feature. With this feature disabled, all users can
access all screens with no password required. When enabled, users must login with the
appropriate password to gain access to the screens they are allowed (as set up in the System Administration &gt; Users Admin screen). This is helpful when you want to limit access to
sensitive areas of the system, such as the setup and diagnostic screens.
Serial Command Port (TCP/IP Interface)
Default is enabled.
This will completely disable access to the serial command port via Ethernet. The port is
defined under Setup &gt; Communication &gt; Ethernet Port Serial Command Port (default is
10001).
Serial commands should still continue to function via the physical RS232 interface (Serial
COM Port 1 &amp; 2).
•Serial Command Port: This is the port many companies use for entering RS232/Serial commands via TCP/IP port 10001. Disabling this will prevent remote systems from changing
parameters on the gauge.
67
Generate Setup
[GUI only; Not available in Web view]
The Generate Setup screen lets you generate a record of the current setup on the console. You or a technician may want
to print this record as a physical backup, use it to replicate the setup on other consoles, or use it to study how the console
or site is setup.
You may generate &quot;All Setup&quot; or limit the record to what you specify in the Print Setup Group and Device Type Selection
fields. If there is more than one printer defined on the console, you can chose the printer from a list that displays (those
configured in Setup &gt; Printers &gt; Setup).
To minimize the size of the &quot;All Setup&quot; printed record by eliminating &quot;empty&quot; device entries, setup parameters are
generated only for devices when at least one of the following is true:
• The device has been set to &quot;Enabled&quot;,
or
• The device has a label configured (the value changed from the default),
or
• The device has an address assigned
You will only generate output from features installed on your console. For example, if you do not have the PLLD feature
installed on the console, you will not see setup specific to PLLD.
Table 1. Generate Setup Screen Field Descriptions
Field
Description
Print Setup Group
Allows you to choose All Setup (the default) or limit the record to a group of settings from the Setup menu ( i.e., Automatic
Events, BIR Setup, Communication Setup, etc.)
Device Type Selection
Available when you select a Setup Group above that includes devices (All Setup or Devices), this setting allows you to further
limit the record to All Devices (subject to the limitations defined above) or specific device groups.
NOTE: Pumps and Lines are not included in device selection because there is a Print Setup Group for that. See the above field.
Destination
Currently, the generated record is sent to a printer.
Generate
Available when enough information is entered above, selecting this button generates the setup record.
NOTE: This button may be unavailable when a setup record is already in the process of generating. Generation can take a
minute and repeatedly pressing the Print or Generate button may result in duplicate reports.

thumb drive from a system backup.
IMPORTANT: The SD card on the console that receives the imported configuration must be a &quot;clean&quot; factory
default card with no configuration, especially any network configuration, done prior to the import.
Further console setup is required after the configuration is imported.
All consoles must have the same platform (450PLUS, TLS4 etc.). The software version of the system to be
upgraded must be the same or newer than the system backup used in the process. All configuration
information is imported, even if the configuration does not match the actual hardware of the TLS being
configured.
The entire system configuration must be verified after importing the configuration. Network setup must be
done after the import is complete. Failure to verify the configuration against site-installed equipment may
result in inaccurate test results.
Import Configuration uses a USB thumb drive created using the DB Backup screen. You can make duplicates of the thumb
drive via Windows Explorer on a PC. (See “Duplicating The Thumb Drive” below).

Appendix A - TLS4 Touch Screen Calibration
Introduction
For TLS4 consoles manufactured before February 8, 2017 there is a possible calibration variance, which could
cause icons near the top of the screen to become unable to be activated by touch. Typically this is noticed when
acknowledging an alarm from the home screen.

What is the system response when a line leak is detected?

When a line leak is detected via Pressurized Line Leak Detection (PLLD), the system can be configured to automatically dial or send alarms. Alarms are also triggered if a tank leak test fails or if cumulative product loss reaches the configured limit.

What alerts are triggered when a line leak is detected?

Detection via the Pressurized Line Leak Detection (PLLD) feature triggers alarms that can be configured for automatic notification. For tank tests (SLD or CSLD), a 'Leak Alarm' is triggered if cumulative product loss reaches the limit, or if Gross (1.5 gph), Periodic (0.2 gph), or Annual (0.1 gph) tests fail.
