TS-SEM External Console Hardware AccessoryThe TS-SEM is a sophisticated BriteBox™ sensor expansion module that works exclusively with the Tank Sentinel® automatic tank gauge and leak detection consoles. This gives the Tank Sentinel® console the ability to expand its total number of sensor inputs by increments of eight. The TS-SEM is supplied with an 18” ribbon cable used to connect it to the console. All sensor field wiring terminals are provided within the BriteBox™ and appropriately labeled to simplify installation. Not available on TS-750 consoles. |
Installation
- The TS-SEM is mounted in a convenient location no further than 18” from the Tank Sentinel® console. The BriteBus™ ribbon cable is run through a three quarter inch flexible or rigid conduit to connect the console to the BriteBox™ enclosure.
- Alternatively, an optional TS-KB installation kit is recommended to simplify this connection. Sensor wiring is connected to the field wiring terminal strip in the TS-SEM. Each TS-SEM can handle up to eight INCON standard or BriteSensor™ sensors.
Theory of Operation
- The TS-SEM is used in situations where the internal sensor inputs, standard with all Tank Sentinel® consoles, is not sufficient to handle the amount of sensors required for the application. The TS-SEM is used to expand the number of external console sensor inputs by increments of eight. A maximum of two TS-SEMs can be connected to the Tank Sentinel® console. The sensor alarms in turn can be used to perform such tasks as to turn off submersible pumps or sound alarms.
- The Tank Sentinel® console communicates with all BriteBox™ intelligent junction box expansion modules over the BriteBus™ serial interface bus. This expansion interface uses a 10 conductor ribbon cable to connect the Tank Sentinel® console to the TS-SEM BriteBox™ expansion module. The console automatically recognizes the BriteBox™ when connected and activates sensor control software features in the system. A heart beat LED is provided in the TS-SEM that indicates the TS-SEM and Tank Sentinel® console are communicating with each other.
