Introduction The TCS 3000 register is a fully integrated custody transfer flow computer that will control a majority of the vehicle delivery operations. The Open Software Architecture provides the option of a simple “Pump & Print” delivery or a custom measurement solution. The TCS 3000 features a 4.5”x 3.5” full color VGA display screen, multiple delivery screens and a flexible mounting with backlit alpha-numeric keypad for the user inter- face.

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 data- base. 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.
Daisy Chain for the Printer Connect the Printer to the Host Register. To set the Host : Enable the Printer: SYSTEM MENU → SYSTEM SETTINGS → PRINTER SETTINGS → ENABLE/DISABLE PRINTER → ENABLE PRINTER Select the Printer: PRINTER SETTINGS → SELECT PRINTER → [SELECTED PRINTER] → ENABLE Selecting the Host Register Select Register as Host: PRINTER SETTINGS →...
