Pedestal Wiring Solid state relays and manual override switches control power to the fuel
dispensing equipment and are located in the pedestal. If ordered, an optional
high speed, bi-directional serial impact receipt printer is also housed within the
pedestal. The wiring for all equipment connected to the Series 1000 is terminated
in the pedestal.
Hoses/Pulsers The standard Series 1000 System controls two hose outlets and can be expanded
in two hose increments to control a maximum of eight hoses. The unit can be
expanded in the field. The system can handle pulsing rates of dollar (penny per
pulse); or quantity (1, 10, 100, 250, 500, or 1000 pulses per unit of product). The
pulse rate selection switch is located in an area sealable by Weights and
Measures for retail applications.
Power The GASBOY Series 1000 System has multiple safeguards to minimize system
disruption due to power problems. Built-in AC and RS-422 transient protection
reduces problems caused by power surges. In case of system or power failure,
an AC and DC power fail detect, deadman timer, and pump control fail-safe
circuits ensure an orderly shutdown so the system can return to normal operation
upon restoration. The system clock and memory are backed-up by batteries to
maintain the time and transaction data during power failures. To permit the fuel
dispensing equipment to be operated in the conventional manner, override
switches allow total bypass of the system.
Ports The standard Series 1000 System contains two asynchronous ports for terminal
and/or computer communications. It can also be equipped with an optional
asynchronous auxiliary port PCB for communication with a tank monitoring
system. Its two ports can be set for either RS-232 or RS-422 depending on the
particular requirement.
