1.  Introduction 

The OriLink® TCM module, (

ontrol

odule), is used to control pumps and/or measure levels in tanks using 

floater based level switches. A TCM can be used both for fresh and waste oil tanks. 

 

The TCM (23408) is eighter a MPDM (23400) with another software (early model the chip should be labeled TCM 
1.xx.xx) or has the PCB 203 02 91 equipped with a chip marked TCM 2.xx.xx.. Because of this a lot of this manual is 
similar to the manual of the MPDM. 

NOTE!  

The Orilink® installation manual should be available when installing and configuring a TCM. 

2.  Mechanical installation 

The TCM is delivered mounted in a metal box with power supply. It can also be delivered as a PCB with mounting kit. 

 

Complete TCM in a box is mounted on a wall or other suitable place using the four-ø5 mm holes in the bottom corners 
of the box. 

 

If a PCB is used it is important that a power supply with enough performance is used. 

3.  Electric installation 

The power supply should be connected to mains 
230VAC in a proper way following valid rules. 
 
Alentec & Orion AB recommends that the 
connection be done through a 2-pole working 
switch. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

It has five connectors 

(A)

 for the OriLink® communication. Two of these connectors, 

MPDM IN 

and

 MPDM OUT

 

are not connected to 

+24V

 and are intended for a connection to another TCM, MPDM or other modules that already 

have +24VDC. This is to prevent conn24VDC from two power supplies.  

The other three connectors are used to connect external devices without a power source such as a Printer Module (PM), 
a LED Module (LED) and/or a KeyPad (KP). These connectors can only supply power to a single device. For more 
detailed information see the 

OriLink® Manual

 

NOTE! If the communication loop begin in one of these modules it must be connected to either MPDM IN or 

MPDM OUT or +24V must not be connected. 

The RESET-button 

(B)

 can be used to reset the module or reset the module address. Power supply is connected to the 

connector 

(C)

.  

NOTE! 

Check polarity, GND is closest to the hole! 

The connector 

(D)

 is used when you install a chassis-mounted key switch and diode. 

With the key switch you can set the status of the module to OFF-, NORMAL-, or 
OVERRIDE-mode. The diodes indicate setting. 

There are four connectors 

(E)

 24 V, OC, A, B and GND, one for 

each pump/tank. Solenoid valves and level sensors are connected to these 
connectors. 
“A” of a TCM port is connected to “order oil/emptying” of the level 
sensor. 
“B” of a TCM port is connected to “Stop level” of the level sensor. 
“GND” of a TCM port is connected to common of the level sensor. 
“+24V” of a TCM port is connected to one of the terminals of a solenoid 
valve and “Sol” is connected to the other.
