Introduction
This manual is for technicians and field engineers setting up Gilbarco pumps and CRINDs with
Gasboy systems. The equipment discussed here is the Gasboy Gilbarco Interface Unit P/N
C05688, with firmware version 2.1.
This Introduction chapter provides a brief description of the Gilbarco interface unit, and
offers a few preliminary thoughts.
The Installation chapter is for setup. Some material here is covered from a different
perspective than in chapter three.
The Hardware chapter describes the hardware, switch settings, and so on. This chapter is for
reference. If you need to understand how to choose switch settings, go to chapter two.
The Data monitor chapter describes in part the data monitor program, which provides
means to diagnose operation of the data ports.
Caution
Please read and understand the Gilbarco installation manuals for your pumps and CRINDs. If
you install or service Gilbarco equipment, it is your responsibility to understand and follow
Gilbarco’s instructions.
Any information which might be provided by Gasboy concerning installation or service of
Gilbarco equipment is provided without warranty. We would prefer that you obtain all such
information from Gilbarco if possible.
Terms
Dispenser: one enclosure and its contents servicing one or two fueling positions. A single-sided
dispenser has displays on only one side, or sometimes a hose on one side and identical displays
on both sides, but it can serve only one customer at a time, and it appears to the operator as one
pump. A dual dispenser has independent displays on two sides, and can serve two customers at
the same time. Such a dispenser appears to the operator as two pumps.
GSM: Gilbarco Security Module. Provides DES encryption for up to 16 CRINDs.
Pump: equipment that provides fuel to one customer at a time. As used here, one dispenser may
contain more than one pump. This varies from the standard use of pump. However, it is
consistent with common usage in the fueling industry.
Main price display: the price display nearest the dollar and volume total displays. This display
shows only the single price used in calculating dollar total from volume total. All retail pumps
have a main price display.
Price bar: the row of price displays found on some multi- fuel or multi-hose pumps, located near
the hoses or the grade selection buttons. Distinguished from the main price display by
association with a single fuel grade or hose. Prices on the price bar may remain on display during
a sale, or may be blanked, except for the price for one fuel or grade.
