COMPONENT LOCATION
Planning Careful planning for the layout of the site will help eliminate possible problems
with the start-up of the Series 1000 system and will ensure continued, reliable
system operation. Figure 5-1 shows system dimensions.
System
Environment The Series 1000 System should be located on the fuel island. This unit has been
designed to withstand an environment of -22
o F to 110 o F, 95% relative humidity,
non-condensing. When mounting the unit, a minimum clearance of 18 inches
must be maintained between the post and any of the pumps or dispensers. This
clearance meets the NFPA 30A and NFPA 70 requirements and allows room for
wiring and maintenance of the system. Adequate clearance around the head of
the unit is important to provide room for maintenance of the system. A minimum
of 14 inches of clearance from the rear of the unit must be provided to allow the
rear door to open.
Data Terminal or CRT
Environment When a data terminal or CRT is used with the system it should be located in a
clean, office-type environment. Do not install over a hazardous location. Locating
the terminal in a dirty environment may cause premature failures.
External Modems
Environment When an external modem is used with the system it is recommended the modem
be located in an office type environment. However, if this is not possible, it should
be housed in a protective enclosure. Do not install over a hazardous location.
External modems supplied by GASBOY have an operative temperature range of
32
o F to 104 o F.
Power Conditioner
Environment When used, a power conditioner helps provide clean power to the Series 1000
System. Poor power conditions are a key cause to system malfunction or failure.
Uncorrected irregular power can cause data errors, loss of information, and
equipment failure. The power conditioner provides transient and common mode
protection for the Series 1000, although it cannot totally compensate for extremely
poor power conditions. The power conditioner must be located in an area
protected from direct contact with weather (typically near the system circuit
breakers) and should be no further than 50 feet from the Series 1000. The unit is
designed for an operating temperature range of -4
o F to 110 o F.
