Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to guide installers, operators and technicians through the operation of a TS-550 evo 

console. The TS-550 evo console incorporates the monitoring and alarm capabilities of preceding automatic tank gauges 

with advanced technologies to supply tank and level data more accurately and efficiently. This manual is also designed to 

introduce technicians to the optional LCD Graphical User Interface, which is used as an input device to program system 

configuration and maintain all applications from the front panel of the console. Overall safety issues, troubleshooting 

information, start-up procedures, warranty, service and return policies, as defined in this manual, must be followed.

The TS-550 evo Fuel Management System consists of an open architecture, modular console that can run multiple Fuel 

Management Applications simultaneously. It typically contains a color LCD touch screen user interface and a built-in 

printer, but it can also be operated by a web-based remote interface. Magnetostrictive Liquid Level Probes inside of 

the tanks provide the console with inventory and leak detection information. A variety of optional sensors can be used 

to monitor containment spaces. TS-550 evo series consoles combine the power and flexibility of computer-based open 

architecture with a high speed modular bus design.
