TCS/TCS-A |
| |
|
|
| Description |
| |
| The
TCS, which succeeded the MMD in Tokheim’s line,
continued the MMD approach of using a modular chassis
where two, three or four sections were assembled depending
on the configuration desired by the customer. |
| |
| The
modular approach was taken one step further in the TCS
design, where both low-hose and a high-hose configurations
were offered. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
| Electronics |
| |
There are two electronics versions of the TCS, referred to as the TCS-A and the “non-A.” Both feature a modular card-cage type design, but in the “non-A” the cards are vertical and in the “A” they are horizontal. The “Start” buttons in the “non-A” protrude from the face of the
unit, while the “A” buttons are flush with the face. This is probably the easiest way to distinguish the units from a distance. |

Production Options |
| |
The TCS was available in both push-to-start
configuration and in a version where removal of a nozzle will start the unit. |

| |
| Retrofit
Options |
| |
Tokheim’s vapor assist system, Max-Vac, can be
retrofitted to high hose TCS’s but not to low-hose units (due to lack of space in the lower cabinet). |
| |
| |
| Console
Compatibility |
| |
| T184 or greater. A “67 box” is required. The TMS MPC console will operate both electronic versions of the TCS. |
| |
| |
| Suction
Pumps and Blenders |
| |
| Suction pumps were manufactured in both high- and low-hose models, but they are relatively rare. Both fixed and programmable TCS blenders were manufactured. Any six-hose dispenser can be converted to a fixed blender by use of a blend valve. |

| |
| Comments/Usage
Recommendation |
| |
| TCS’s, especially the low hose units, are good values on the used equipment market. |
