Operation Test
The manual mode of operation is used to perform the operation test and can be used to prime the foam pump
if it is required. The water pump is not operated during this procedure.
If a monitored function is not within normal parameters the FLOW display shows an error or fault warning
code and a description shows in the message display. (Refer to Error Codes or Fault Warning Codes .)
TFC100 Operation Note: The TFC100 does not have a message display. Information is only shown in the
4-digit display, procedures are the same. (Substitute MODE for MENU button.)
Set-up
Do the Pre-Operation Checks.
Fill the tank (water can be used for this test).
Open the foam tank shutoff valve.
Set manual selector valve to the foam tank with uid. Close ush valves.
Place a calibrated collection bucket under the calibration bypass valve hose.
Set the calibration bypass valve to bypass.
Supply power to the system, OFF is shown in the FLOW display.
Ensure no error or fault warning codes show in the display.

1. Press the ON/OFF and PRESET buttons at the same time and hold.
Results: MANUAL MODE ashes in the message display for 3 seconds, the message display changes to
show USE +/– FOR FLOW, the FLOW display ashes. (TFC100 ashes the ON/OFF LED, the

2. Press the + and – buttons to set the ow rate.
Results: The FLOW display shows the operator entered ow rate, the message display shows moving
arrows to indicate the foam concentrate pump RPM, and the foam pump pumps uid into the bucket.
3. Pump until a steady stream ows.
Do not operate the pump dry for more then 30 seconds. If no uid ows shut down the pump check
for air leaks, closed valve, reversed check valve, clogged strainer screen etc. in all lines between

Follow-up Calibrations
The ow sensor and concentrate pump must be calibrated before normal system operations. Refer to
Calibration, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting; Calibration Section and perform the Calibrate Discharge Flow
Sensor and Calibrate Foam Concentrate Pump procedures.
If the TankVision Pro is installed, ensure program codes P314 and P315 are set and the TankVision Pro is calibrated.
