How the RCM works with a TD100 system to permit or deny loading at the rack, and what to check if the Permit light isn't green.
The TD100 System With Rack Control
Basic TD100 system components
- TD100 Transmitter
- Dual Rod or Coaxial Probe
- FINCH II Display (FINCH II-W and FINCH II-6W are referred to as FINCH II in this overview)
- Wire Kit
Rack control components
- Rack Control Module (RCM)
- Titan-Supplied Optic and Thermistor Sockets
RCM Operation
There are no operator controls
The only thing a driver needs to do is check that the Permit light is green when connecting to the rack.
No lights or a red Permit light denies loading at the rack — ensure all TD100 system alarms have been cleared.
RCM Description
The RCM and Titan-supplied Optic and Thermistor API sockets communicate with the rack controller.
The RCM permits or denies loading at the rack. The RCM Permit light is green when all conditions reported by the TD100 system are safe for loading.
RCM Troubleshooting
The RCM automatically resets the permit light to green when the HH and Spill alarms have been cleared and inactive for over 1 minute while the compartment is empty.
Incorrect system operation or Error codes do not automatically reset the permissive. The fault must be resolved and then power to the RCM turned off and on to reset the permit light to green.
If the permit light remains red or off while the FINCH II Display indicates that all conditions are safe:
Turn the system power off and back on again.
Acknowledge any active alarms.
Confirm on the FINCH II Display that no alarms are active.
If the permit light is not green, it's time to head back to the shop.
