Veeder-Root TSN: Network Security Reminder

Veeder-Root Takes Network Security VERY Seriously!

OVERVIEW

Offering the best in class tools to prevent cyberattacks, Veeder-Root Veeder-Root TLS-450PLUSrecommends network ‘best practices’ such as:

  • Utilize separate network ports on the TLS-450PLUS ATG
  • Configure network routing tables
  • Changing network port numbers
  • Add a serial command security code to harden remote access and prevent un-authorized access to Veeder-Root ATG

TIP: Veeder-Root recommends that ASCs review and implement these ‘best practices’ for network security with their customers, when installing a new console or setting up a network port.

IMPORTANTCustomers on older TLS-350 ATG systems should consider either upgrading to the TLS-450PLUS or utilizing extra network firewall equipment.

TLS-450PLUS and TLS4 Series ATGs

The TLS-450PLUS and TLS4 Series ATGs come with security features allowing for greater protection and control of access to the ATG than legacy consoles. Features such as configurable user access and segmented network ports help ensure both network and front-panel security. To learn more about these features and how to set them up, please see our TLS4 Series Security Settings Technical Support Notice.

TLS-3XX Series ATGs

Please refer to the following manuals for security setup instructions:

Veeder-Root CPU Battery BackupVeeder-Root iButton USB AdapterVEEDER-ROOT TECHNICAL SUPPORT NOTIFICATIONS


Veeder-Root iButton USB Adapters

Due to supply chain issues, Veeder-Root will be limiting the number of USB adapters they ship with iButton software upgrades for the TLS-4xx platform.  Until supply chain issues have been resolved, individual iButtons will need to be swapped in and out of the USB adapters manually in order to upgrade TLS-4xx consoles with software enhancements.

Get all the details by viewing the Veeder-Root iButton TSN here.

TLS-450PLUS & TLS4 Series CPU Backup Battery

Once again, due to supply chain issues, the CPU battery backup on all TLS-450PLUS and TLS4 Series Automatic Tank Gauges (ATGs) has been changed. The previous ML2430 has been replaced with the ML2032 battery.
While the ML2032 battery is slightly smaller in size, it is backwards compatible and will work with any TLS-450PLUS or TLS4 Series console and can still be ordered using part number 0330020-759.

Veeder-Root Technical Support Notification: Probe & Sensor Wiring

Probe & Sensor Wiring

Introduction

Veeder-Root has specific requirements for all Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG), probe, sensor and Pressurized Line Leak Detection (PLLD) transducer wiring – this is to maintain intrinsic safety as well as reduce electrical noise interference. This notification will provide a brief introduction into Veeder-Root’s probe and sensor wiring requirements. This should be used in conjunction with local, state and federal electrical codes.


Basic Wiring & Installation Requirements

The following are Veeder-Root’s field wiring requirements:

  • All probes and sensors must use two-wire shielded cable.*
  • Use a single continuous length of shielded cable with no splices to ensure optimum signal strength.
  • All shielded cable runs must be less than 1000 feet.
  • An epoxy pack must be used for all wiring splices in the field.
  • Weatherproof junction boxes are required for all conduit runs to the monitoring locations (e.g., STP sump or dispenser pan).
  • All shields must be grounded at the console, cut-off in the field.
  • When exiting the console, shielded cable must be run through rigid conduit.
  • Shielded cable should be rated between 14 to 18 AWG stranded copper wire and must be rated less than 100 picofarads per foot.**

* When installing a three-wire sensor, use a three-wire shielded cable.
** Refer to the TLS-450PLUS Site Prep and Installation Manual (577014-073) for wiring examples.


ATG Installation & Grounding

  • All three divider plates must be left in place in-between any of the four slots in the TLS-450PLUS console or the TLS-XB Expansion Box.
  • The divider plates and empty slot covers cannot be modified in any way. This includes drilling holes or cutting the plates.

Note: Removing or modifying the divider plate can lead to electrical noise interference issues and violates UL/cUL and other licensing bodies.

  • Four-conductor or more shielded cable cannot be used with Veeder-Root probes or sensors. Two wires cannot be connected to a sensor while the other two wires are connected to another device, even if the two devices are installed in the same sump.
  • Confirm the console has two isolated grounds.

To test the grounds, disconnect these two cables from the console. Place the leads of the ohmmeter on each grounding wiring and confirm it reads less than 1 ohm of resistance. If it reads more than 1 ohm of resistance, then the console has bad grounding, which could be a cause of an electrical noise interference issue.


Installation Review

This example shows a clean installation.

✅ One pair of two-conductor shielded cable is used per device.

✅ All shields are grounded at the console.

✅ All shielded cable is run through a rigid conduit.


This example shows an incorrect installation.

The field wiring does not meet Veeder-Root, UL/cUL and other licensing bodies’ wiring requirements. This site is using four-conductor shielded cable. (Shields are not shown).
As mentioned before, two-conductor shielded cable is required for all probes and sensors.

Veeder-Root: Technical Support Notification TLS-450PLUS & TLS4 Series – iButton Obsolescence

TLS-450PLUS & TLS4 Series
iButton Obsolescence

Overview

As of March 2022, iButtons are no longer being used in consoles with software version 10.C or later. The software
features will be stored directly on the CPU Boards. The CPU Boards will still have a socket for the iButton but will have a “NOT USED” decal included (see image below).
IMPORTANT: The iButton is still needed for consoles with software version 10.B or prior.
Veeder-Root TLS iButton

All TLS-450PLUS & TLS4 Series Consoles

CPU Board Replacement
✏ Software version 10.C or later will no longer use the iButton.
✏ Software version 10.B or prior will continue to use the iButton and it must be moved to the new CPU.


iButton Replacement
Replacement iButtons are no longer available.
✏ TLS-450PLUS consoles with defective iButtons will require the new CPU and software version 10.C or later.
✏ TLS4 Series consoles with defective iButtons do not require replacing the CPU but must be upgraded to software version 10.C or later.


Migrating a TLS-450 to a TLS-450PLUS Console

Migration kits are no longer available for purchase. Last time buy was December 31, 2021. However, if you have a migration kit, follow these steps to migrate a TLS-450 to a TLS-450PLUS console.

1. Create a backup of the TLS-450 using the thumb drive provided in the kit.
2. Install the new CPU and SD card.

IMPORTANT: Do not move iButton to the new CPU.

3. Restore the TLS-450 back-up into the TLS-450PLUS.

Note: In some circumstances, a “Media Access Error” may occur but will clear once the database restore is complete.

Veeder-Root: Technical Support Notification TLS-450PLUS – Divider Plates

TLS-450PLUS – Divider Plates

Introduction

The TLS-450PLUS console must be installed per the TLS-450PLUS Site Prep and Installation Manual (577014-073) and the UL/cUL Control Drawing – TLS-450/8600 Consoles (331940-008). The console may not be modified in any way.  This includes drilling holes, cutting the metal and plastic walls or removing the divider plates located in the module bay.  Removing or modifying the divider plates can lead to the product or installation not being compliant with UL/cUL requirements. All three divider plates must be left in place in-between any of the four slots in the TLS-450PLUS console or TLS-XB Expansion Box.

IMPORTANT: Removing the divider plates can lead to electrical noise interference issues and violates UL/cUL and other licensing bodies.

Designated knockouts are the only approved wiring openings. As needed, knockouts can be removed to allow rigid
conduit to be connected to the console. Any unused positions where knockouts have been removed must be properly sealed, per the latest National Electric Code.


Installation Review

This example shows a clean installation.
TLS450Plus Divider Plates CORRECT Install
All wires exit the console and immediately enter a rigid conduit (not shown).

✅ In addition, the console has not been altered in any way; unused knock-outs have been left in place and the divider plates have not been removed (each module is physically separated with a metal plate).


This example shows an incorrect installation.

Veeder-Root TLS450PLUS Divider Plates INCORRECT Install
❌ The divider plate was removed between the two USM modules, in slots 2 and 3. This is against Veeder-Root’s installation requirements and violates the UL/cUL and other licensing bodies. The divider plate must remain in place and cannot be modified.

❌ All wires must be run through rigid conduit and can only be used in the module slot that the conduit is connected to.
