Dual FINCH II Installation

There may come a time when multiple FINCH II displays are needed for a specific application.

Details in the application note TPM 035, FINCH II Dual Compartment Lead Trailer and Single Compartment Pup with High-Level Shutdown, describe installation across multiple units.

See Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 below. Figure 1 shows the B - DIP switch position. Figures 4 and 5 show the wiring modification for a single tank truck or trailer.

The steps below work for either a TD80 or TD100 Transmitter.

  1. 1

    Remove the J560 socket and cable

    The J560 sockets and cable are not required. The TD transmitters #3 and optionally #4 are connected directly to the Secondary FINCH II Display's TD Transmitter #1 and #2 terminals.

  2. 2

    Wire the Secondary FINCH II Display

    Wiring from the Secondary FINCH II Display Pump Relay 2 COM and NO terminals to the original J560 socket pins 2 and 3 continue straight through to the junction box terminals.

    Inside the Primary FINCH II Display, B - DIP Switch 2 must be switched to the ON position.
