Receipt & Inspection
Upon receipt of register shipment, be sure to inspect the packaging and the register assembly for any damage before signing the receipt of the shipment. Notify the delivery company about possible damage and refuse receipt of
the shipment.

Registers are individually boxed and are protected with static resistant packing material. Each package is identified
with the register assembly part number, description, serial number. Verify the register model is the correct model,
size, and configuration as ordered. Contact your distributor if there is any discrepancy or question.

Register assemblies should be handled with appropriate methods for the size and weight involved. Appropriate
clothing and shoes need to be utilized. Transport the register package to the installation site with appropriate transportation methods, careful not to damage the register.

Be careful of any loose or protruding staples from the packaging, as they can be very sharp and may potentially
cause injury.

If foam has been used to protect register, carefully remove top foam layer before attempting to remove register assembly from box. Foam packaging maybe formed around the register assembly making it difficult to remove. Do
not lift the register assembly by wires or anything other than the metal body of the register. Do not insert objects or
cables into the register unless stated. Removing register assembly from packaging without adhering these warnings may cause serious injury to you and/or the register.

Appropriate precautions should be taken regarding any personal, environmental and material compatibility with the
end use system.

Print” deliveries. Software features offer complete flexibility of delivery screen information and view, preset, price/tax,
ticket format and password protection.
Optional GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Cellular capability enables the TCS 3000 to improve your product security and ease
access to your delivery data to reduce your operation costs. Many additional features are available (multiple product
delivery, additive injection, density/temperature correction, multiple valve & pump control, etc.) to enhance your measurement solution.

“Must Know” & How To
Installation Procedure—Daisy Chain

Daisy Chain:
Daisy Chain is used for linking multiple registers together to use one printer or to link multiple registers to the database.

To Daisy Chain the Registers use a two wire 22 gauge shielded cable. Nominate one Register to be the Host.
Once you’ve chosen which Register will be the Host the other Registers will be considered the clients. Strip a small
amount of wire and run the wire from slot A and B of DAISY CHAIN on the Host Unit to slot A and B of DAISY CHAIN on
the Client Unit.
To tie the Client to the next Client unit on the Daisy Chain, strip a small amount of wire and run the wire from slot A
and B of DAISY CHAIN to slot A and B of the next client’s DAISY CHAIN.

B

Client 3
Client 3 will have 4 wires.

Client 4
The Last Client will have 2 wires.

Continue to Daisy Chain until you have tied the chain together, alternating slots on the Daisy Chain until you’ve
reached the end of the chain. The Host and the last Client on the chain will be the only two registers on the chain to
have a one wire connection.

Trouble Shooting
Trouble Shooting
To comply with Weights & Measures requirements, it is necessary to start and stop each delivery with a fully packed
hose. Normally, this will be the case. However, there are times where the hose is not fully packed (e.g. after a preset
delivery). As such, the hose must be packed and the register zeroed prior to making the next deliver.
NOTE: This procedure will not work for an empty or dry hose. If more than 1 gallon or 5
Liters of liquid is required to pack the hose, a delivery ticket must be printed.
To pack the hose at the start of a delivery:
Press the Start Button, this energizes the solenoids. Allow the pump to pack the hose.
TCS 3000 Trouble Shooting Guide
The TCS3000 troubleshooting guide covers most common problem situations. Call your Total Controls Service Center
for any problems that are not covered in this guide.
NOTICE

DANGER

It may be necessary to break Weights & Measure seals to
perform certain troubleshooting steps in this guide. Contact your supervisor or local Weights & Measures authorities for information before breaking any seals.

Serious Injury or Death may Result – Fire, Explosion, and
Electrical Shock Hazard.

Only trained and authorized personnel should perform
troubleshooting. Use extreme caution when troubleshooting and taking all electrical measurements. Be sure that
equipment is in a well ventilated area and that hazardous
or flammable vapors are not and will not be present during testing. If equipment is located in a hazardous environment, it may be necessary to remove the equipment
and perform troubleshooting in a safe area.

Trouble Shooting Guidelines:
1) Before attempting to troubleshoot the TCS 3000 system, become familiar with the operation and set-up of the specific
installation.
2) Make sure all electrical connections are secure and tight.
3) Make sure all terminal blocks are firmly connected.
4) ALWAYS use a good digital multimeter. Voltage levels are critical to proper system operation. Use an accurate,
reliable multimeter to test for proper voltages at the start of any service procedure. Voltage requirements are listed
under each component.
NOTE: Check for proper operating voltages before changing the circuit board. If the circuit board needs to be
changed, be sure to remove all power to the TCS 3000.
5) If an error occurs during a delivery, the message will appear on the Display and print on the delivery ticket. The
delivery ticket will print an error message that can be useful in troubleshooting. This ticket will automatically print.
Examine the prover ticket to make sure all set-up fields are accurate, e.g. pulses per unit volume, temperature
coefficient, and base temperature.
6) NEVER remove a terminal block or jumper with the power on.
7) NEVER install a terminal block or jumper with the power on.

Trouble Shooting
8) NEVER force a terminal block into its location.
9) NEVER exchange or reposition terminal blocks on the circuit board.
10) In case of a major problem such as a burned or water-damaged circuit board, evaluate possible causes before
replacing it and turn the power back on.
11) Isolate the problem before changing the circuit board.
12) Return faulty circuit boards with the proper forms, concisely completed.
There may be several probable causes for a system malfunction. Listed on the next 3 pages are several probable causes to aid in returning the system to operation as quickly as possible. The list is not all-inclusive and should only be used
as a guide.

Inadequate supply
voltage. +9 to 28
VDC is required for
operation

1. With the key in the accessory position, check the battery voltage to the circuit
board. Use the negative terminal as DC ground. While the TCS 3000 will
power-up at +9VDC, it is recommended that the input be at least +12.6VDC.
2. Check the 7.5A, in-line fuse for continuity. It is located in the accessory power
line. Replace if necessary.
3. If the green light blinks fast it is doing what it is supposed to, but then it will go
to a slow blink. If you see red, then you do not have enough power on the
register. It must see a minimum of 9vdc.
4. If the red light comes on and the unit doesn’t power-up. Check the voltage if
the voltage is OK but the temperature is -20 this will indicate that the heater is
warming the display to prevent any damage to the VGA display and should
come-up shortly

2. Unscrew the 3 pin power connector. Inspect for stray wire strands and
visible shorts.
3. Inspect the full length of the power cable. Look for damaged insulation, which
may cause shorting between the cable and ground potential (e.g. truck frame
or chassis). If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced.
4. Replace the 7.5A fuse and re-install the wires into the terminal connector.
5. If the 7.5A blows again, then replace the power cable.
6. If the 7.5A fuse blows after replacing the power cable, then replace the TCS
3000 terminal circuit board.

“Must Know” & How To
Start Up “Must Knows” for Setup Configuration & Calibration
1) Each Product must be thoroughly configured and calibrated in W&M Settings. There are many parameters that need
to be configured to ensure your system operates properly. Failure to complete the Product Configuration may result
in the TCS3000 to not function correctly.
2) Products that have been calibrated may appear either as an Active or Inactive Product. The TCS 3000 must have at
least 1 Active Product in order to Begin a Shift and Start a Delivery. Products may only be Activated or Deactivated
after a Shift has Ended.
3) The Calibration Screw must be threaded completely into the Calibration setting, or you will not be able to begin a
shift or start a delivery.
