CHECKPOINT CONSOLE
Description
The Checkpoint console is used to initiate and monitor fuel and non-fuel retail (convenience) sales
at the fuel island. The unit is controlled by a microprocessor and communicates to the site
controller via a direct RS-485 connection.
Each Checkpoint console can control up to 16 pumps or remote dispensers. A 20-character
alphanumeric display along with pump status LEDs are used to provide the operator with current
information regarding the site. Full-travel keys are used in the operation of the unit. An ABA track
2 magnetic stripe reader is provided for use in reading magnetic stripe cards for credit or debit
purchases.
An optional standalone receipt printer, a PIN (personal identification number) pad, a cash drawer,
and a customer display are available for use with the Checkpoint console. The optional
standalone receipt printer is used for generating receipts in the building where the Checkpoint
console is located. The optional PIN pad can be used to allow customers to secretly enter their
PINs for Checkpoint console transactions. The optional cash drawer is used for storage of cash at
the site. The customer display allows you to display console sales so they are visible to the
customer.

The Checkpoint console and options should be located in an office-type environment. The unit
must be located in an area protected from direct contact with the weather. Do not install over a
hazardous location. The unit is designed for an operating temperature range of 4
