Introduction to the Configuration Utility 2

Overview 2.1

The Finch II provides a flexible system for controlling external devices by TD80 and Finch

II generated alarms. These alarms may provide operator prompts such as lights and

horns or the loading and unloading process may be controlled to prevent unsafe

conditions.

Alarms are assigned to relays by the Configuration Utility to control external devices for

warning and overfill prevention. 3rd party system integration is also supported by the

utility.

Finch II Configuration 2.2

51

The Finch II Configuration Utility allows the installer or maintainer the ability to customize

the Finch display relay responses to alarms generated by the TD80, Finch II and 3rd

party

systems. The Finch display is shipped from the factory with a configuration suited for

most installations. Unique or specialized system operation is set by the configuration

utility.

This software runs on a PC, with Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. It also requires one serial

port or a USB to Serial Adapter for the programming cable. All relay settings are

permanently stored in the Finch II and are reconfigurable at any time in the shop or field

using a laptop with the Configuration Utility and programing cable. A source of vehicle

battery power or an AC power adapter is required for the Finch display.

The settings may be read from a display and transferred to a new unit when being

replaced for repair or upgrade.

Finch II Alarms and Relays 3

Alarms 3.1

TD80 transmitter and Finch II generated alarms are:

1. Fall Alarm

2. Fill Alarm

3. High-High (HH) Alarm

4. Spill Alarm

5. Fail Alarm

The Fall and Fill alarms are managed by settings stored in the Finch display. They are

configured from the front panel buttons by the installer or operator. HH and Spill alarms

are determined by settings programmed in the TD80 transmitter. This is done during

transmitter programming only and can’t be changed by any Finch buttons or switches.

The source of Fail alarm is from both the TD80 transmitter and Finch display. Internal

malfunctions or loss of communication between transmitter and display are reported by

the Fail alarm.

3rd

party system alarms are described in an Application Note specific to the system.

Finch II Relays 3.2

The Finch display contains four independently controlled relays. These relays are fuse

protected to limit short-circuit current. Each of the relays has a distinctive name that may

be used to describe the controlled device such as the following:

Relay 1, Engine/Aux Relay

Relay 2, Pump/Aux Relay

Relay 3, Light Relay

Relay 4, Horn Relay

The relays have all contacts; Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC) and Common

(COM) contacts available for power or signal control.

TP

51



Configuring Relay Assignments and Alarming States 3.3

The factory settings are as follows:

Relay Assignments

SPILL and FAIL Alarm = ENGINE/AUX and PUMP/AUX RELAY

High-High (HH) Alarm = PUMP/AUX RELAY, LIGHT RELAY and HORN RELAY

FILL Alarm = HORN RELAY

FALL Alarm = None

Relay Alarming State

ENGINE/AUX RELAY = Energized when alarming

PUMP/AUX RELAY = De-energized when alarming

LIGHT RELAY = Energized when alarming

HORN RELAY = Energized when alarming

User can acknowledge alarm (Can Ack?)

SPILL/FAIL Alarm = NO

HH Alarm = YES

FILL Alarm = YES

FALL Alarm = YES

All relay actions except Spill and Fail alarms may be acknowledged to clear the alarm

response or locked to maintain the alarm response until the condition clears.

Relays are assigned to alarms with an optional alarming state. The relay may be

energized or de-energized to report an active alarm. See the examples in Appendix C,

Appendix D, and Appendix E.

Relay assignments to 3rd

party systems are described in an Application Note specific to

that system.

Optional Alarm Acknowledgement 3.4

For TD80 and Finch II alarms that are acknowledgeable, pressing ACK will clear the

display and return the relays to their non-alarming state. While the alarm condition is still

present acknowledgement allows loading or unloading to continue.

The Fall, Fill and HH alarms are factory set to be acknowledgeable. Customers may

configure them to be non-acknowledgeable. This prevents the operator from continuing

until the alarm condition has cleared. Spill and Fail alarms cannot be configured as

acknowledgeable. The Spill and Fail alarms are severe enough to require resolution

before continuing to load or unload. Non-acknowledgeable alarms will automatically clear

when the alarm condition is not present.

For example, the Fall alarm may be configured as non-acknowledgeable and connected

to control a pump. When the pump has off-loaded down to the FALL alarm volume, the

pump is shut down and cannot be acknowledged to prevent damage from running it dry.
