Pump/Dispenser Automatic Test
11 – Pump/Dispenser Automatic Test
The automatic test verifies pump operation and ensures that transactions are accurately
recorded and that quantities and prices agree with those displayed on the pumps. As each
transaction is completed, it should print on the data terminal attached to the logger port. For
remote sites not using the monitor mode, either a data terminal can be temporarily connected
to the logger port or the information will have to be manually polled. The steps outlined in this
section indicate the proper procedure for testing and the expected results.
Before the pumps can be properly tested in automatic using the island card reader and/or console,
the CFN system must be configured for the pulser type on each pump (for example, gallon wheel,
money wheel, electronic register) and the pulser rate (for example, 1:1, 10:1, 100:1, 500:1). To
verify this, perform the print pump command, P PU, and verify the rate column on the printout with
the physical pumps at the site.
Note: The system counts edges, not pulses. For example: 10:1 on gallons = 20 edges per gallon,
100:1 on gallons = 200 edges per gallon. If you have a penny pulsing pump (for example, one pulse
per penny), a 10:1 pulse ratio would yield 200 edges per dollar. When you do a P PU command, the
edges figure is shown in the RATE column.
When using pumps and/or dispensers at retail sites, the proper price must be set on the pump and
loaded in the system to verify proper registration. The fallback price (Level 0) should be the same
as the posted prices; if using dollar pulsers it must be the same.
If you are using the Site Controller III interfaces to electronic pumps, pulse rates are not important.
On Gilbarco pumps/dispensers, pulse units must be $ (dollar).
If pulse rates need to be changed, open switch SW4.
