TLS Warnings And Alarms
The TLS console is constantly monitoring its probes and sensors for warning and alarm conditions, such as fuel
leaks, excessively high or low fuel levels, and equipment problems. In the Operating Mode with no warning or
alarm condition active, the TLS-3XX consoles display ‘ALL FUNCTIONS NORMAL’ and the TLS4/8601 &
TLS450PLUS/8600 consoles display ‘SYSTEM STATUS’. When a warning or alarm condition occurs, the system
displays/posts the alarm type and its location, indicating either tank, input or sensor number. Consoles with
printers generate an alarm report showing the warning or alarm type, the location and the date and time of the
warning or alarm condition that occurred. TLS4/8601 & TLS450PLUS/8600 consoles can be programmed to
email a selected address if warnings/alarms occur.
WARNINGS
- These indicate that an alarm is imminent or that a system fault has occurred.
ALARMS
- Alarms indicate that a potentially dangerous situation may have occurred.
WARNING! DO NOT IGNORE ALARMS! Know the alarm response procedures for your site.
When a Warning or Alarm is posted follow the procedure below to acknowledge the alarm and shut off the audible
beeper:
