Overview

The TS-DTU will be installed in the dispenser when it is

used as a Remote DTU or inside the building when used

as a Console DTU. These installation instructions are to be

used for installing the TS-DTU inside the building.
When used as a Console DTU, data is received from the

Remote DTU units via power line communication. The data

is then sent to the System Console (TS-550 / 5000 / EMS)

for processing. Unlike the Remote DTU units, the Console

DTU will have no Intrinsically safe sensors connected to it.

Site Inspection

A licensed electrician should perform a site inspection

before installing any equipment. The Console DTU must

be connected to all electrical phases that supply power to

dispensers containing Remote DTUs.
Check for any electrical isolation. Isolation between the

electrical panel and the dispenser can result in poor or

no communication with the DTU. Make sure there is

not a power conditioner between the Console DTU and

dispenser power.

Installation Procedure

Tools and Supplies Needed

• 1/2 " Cord grip / strain

relief

• Small slotted

screwdriver

• Multimeter

• Mounting screws

• 2 - wire shielded cable • 14 AWG wire (

one for

each phase and ground)

Step 1 – Remove System Power

Remove power from the TS-5XXX Series System Console

and do NOT return power to the System Console or to the

Console DTU until instructed to do so.

Electrical Hazard! Always disconnect power

supplies before installing or servicing the

console TS-DTU. Use proper lock-out and

tag-out procedures to ensure no power is

accidentally applied to the system. Failure to

do so could result in severe injury or death.

Step 2 – Mounting the Console DTU

Mount the Console DTU as close to the circuit breaker

panel that is suppling the dispenser(s). Remove the cover

and insert a screw (not supplied) into each of the four

corners of the enclosure. Mount the unit to the wall. You

may optionally use the supplied mounting brackets.

Step 3 – Power Connection

The Console DTU may use the same circuit breaker as

the System Console but

DO NOT connect the power for

the Console DTU inside the Console enclosure. Install

a junction box or wire the Console directly to the circuit

breaker panel.
Ideally, the circuit selected for the console power will be

on the same phase as all dispensers and no further power

connections will be required. If any dispensers are on a

different phase, run wires from the L2 and L3 connections

on the Console DTU to the appropriate circuit breakers

for the required extra phases. If there is any question

about what phase some of the dispensers are on, it is

recommended to connect all three phases to the

Console DTU.
Connect the neutral for the Console DTU to the same

neutral supplying the dispensers. If there is not a clean

neutral return for the DTU then poor quality may result.
Warning: Cycling power to the Console DTU without

powering off the System Console will cause the System

Console to reboot.
Installer must use conduit for connecting the DTU on the

power connection side.
