7 – System Power
To power up the system, proceed as follows:
1
Verify if the AC power for the CFN Series System is in accordance with the SC III Installation
Manual. AC Power for the CFN system components, monitor, printer, external modem, and
remote terminal must come from a separate, dedicated circuit breaker. No other equipment,
including the system’s pumps or dispensers, should be powered from this breaker. Gasboy
recommends all CFN components be on the same breaker; however, it is acceptable to supply
the power to the different CFN system components and accessories from multiple breakers
within the same breaker panel. When necessary, power for the data terminal or modem may be
supplied from a separate, dedicated breaker located in a different breaker panel.
Power for the system should be 120 VAC + 10% 47-63 HZ. Power for the CFN system
components must come from the AC Surge Protector Outlet Strip supplied with the system
(except for the PCU, ICR, electronic pumps/dispensers, and the Profit Point). The Profit Point
and its accessories (scanner, PIN pad, and so on) must be plugged into another AC surge
protector strip.
8. SYSTEM POWER
Record the Grounding method as outlined in step
below. Then, record voltage readings for each
component from step 4 for Hot to Neutral, Hot to Ground, and Neutral to Ground.
2
Proper system grounding is an extremely important part of the system installation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Grounds for all system devices should be wired to the breaker panel ground bus bar which, in
turn, should be grounded to a single ground rod. A conduit ground does not provide a
sufficient ground. It is recommended that the neutral and ground bus bars be bonded together
unless prohibited by local codes.
3
Ensure that all power switches for the system’s devices are in the OFF position. Turn on the
circuit breakers for the system's devices; optional power conditioner, PCUs, and ICRs and turn
on the AC surge protector switch.
