Potential Problems

The following Gilbarco pump versions may experience problems with the site controller:

If you are experiencing problems, check your version number. Update to the new version if

necessary.

Note: Currently there is a problem with Gasboy interfacing with the Advantage Series. The

pump will occasionally lock up and give us a “halted” message. To correct the problem, type the
command “TEST PCU”. Any pump on the PCU is sent an “activate” command, followed by a
“halt” command after ten seconds if pump has not gone complete by then. The command is
accepted only once after an activate.

Warning: This will allow an operator to pump gas followed by STOP STOP on the console

which completes the sale; then if TEST PCU is issued, the pump turns back on for about ten
seconds. Fuel pumped during this time is not registered by the site.

Installation of Gilbarcos to the CFN Series

The Gasboy Site Controller I, II or III Current Loop Interface can connect to 1 or 2 Gilbarco
distribution boxes. A distribution box can control up to 8 Gilbarco pumps (dual or single).

Current Loop distribution boxes come in two types: Old style passive distribution boxes, and

the new universal distribution “smart” boxes. The smart boxes have powered current loops, and
can be split into 2 sides, each handling one current loop. Gilbarco terminology often refers to
distribution boxes as “D-boxes”. If the site has CRINDS, the universal box must be used.

Current Loop Jumpers and Switch Selections

The jumper positions K1 through K8 are typically set as described next, for more detailed
information please refer to the Gilbarco Interface Unit Installation Manual.
