Dual DIM Installation

Some sites and dispenser configurations may require 

the use of a second DIM module that would be installed 

externally to perform reconciliation. This section outlines 

the special installation steps required to install a second 

TS-DIM on a T5 series console. 

Hardware Configuration

In order for the external TS-DIM module to communicate 

properly with the T5 series console a few jumpers will need 

to be adjusted. To make these adjustments the cover of the 

TS-DIM will need to be removed to access the jumpers.

Device Address

The internal DIM module in the T5 series console will 

always be addressed as zero. By default an external TS-

DIM will come shipped with an address of zero also. For 

these two devices to exist on the same system the external 

TS-DIM will need to have it’s address changed to one. Set 

the external TS-DIM’s address to one by placing a jumper 

on row 6 of W2.

Communication Settings

Once the external DIM has been addressed properly 

the communications for the Host 1 port will need to 

be changed to match the internal DIM communication 

settings. The internal DIM’s communication settings 

are: 9600 Baud Rate, 8 Data Bits, No Parity. To 

properly configure the communication setting 

on the external DIM you will need to place 

jumpers on the following rows 1, 2, and 3 of W1.

Wiring the TS-DIM to a T5 Series Console

Turn off the main power source / all

power sources that terminate in the

console before working on or servicing

this equipment. Failure to do so will

create a lethal electrical shock hazard.

1.   Make sure all power to the T5 Series console is 

turned off at the power source.

2.   Locate the Communication Ports on the T5 series 

console.

3.   Terminate the wires as follows:

a.   Wire 485A to Terminal 485A

b.   Wire 485B to Terminal 485B

c.   Wire S.RTN to Terminal GND

Note:  There may be RS-485 interface wires already 

connected to the terminals. In this case, remove the 

wire(s) and splice them with the appropriate TS-

DIM wire. Reinsert these into the correct terminal 

and tighten the screw. Connect the other end 

( RJ-45 connector) to the Host in the External DIM, 

not to the RS485
