COMPONENT LOCATION
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.
System:
Location: On the fuel island.
Environment: -30o to 50o C, 95% relative humidity, non-
condensing.
Dimensions: Total height with post: 60"; Head: 15"W x 12"H
x 20"D
Installation: Allow a clearance of 18 inches between the post
and any of the pumps or dispensers. (Meets NFPA 30A and
NFPA 70 requirements and allows room for wiring and
maintenance of the system). Allow a minimum of 14 inches
from the rear of the unit to allow the rear door to open for
maintenance.
Data Terminal:
Location: Clean office; a dirty location may cause premature
failure.
Environment: 0oC to 40oC, if supplied by GASBOY.
Installation: Do not install over a hazardous location.
External Modems:
Location: Office environment, or at minimum, within a
protective enclosure.
Installation: Do not install over a hazardous location.
Environment: 0oC to 40oC, if supplied by GASBOY.
Power Conditioner: Provides clean power to the Series 1000
system.
Provides transient and common mode protection.
Location: In weather-protected area (typically near system
circuit breakers); no more than 50 feet from the Series 1000
system.
Environment: -20oC to 48oC.
Voltage Regulator/Backup Power Supply: Required by
Weights and Measures regulations for retail applications.
Protects line-operated equipment from voltage spikes, low line
voltage (brownout) and total line power failure by providing
emergency power.
Location: In weather-protected area (typically near the system
circuit breakers); no more than 50 feet from the Series 1000
system.
Environment: 0oC to 50oC.
CONDUIT INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
1.
All wiring is to be installed and used in accordance with
local building/fire codes, all Federal, State, and Local
codes, the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA
30, and the Automotive and Marine Service Station Code
(NFPA 30A) codes and regulations. Canadian users
must also comply with the Canadian Electrical Code.
2.
All peripheral equipment connected to the RS-232 ports
should be UL-listed, have an Electronics Industry
Association (EIA) standard RS-232 communications
protocol, and not be installed over a hazardous location.
3.
Power for the system, printer and modem must come
from a separate circuit breaker rated at no less than 10
AMPS.
4. All wiring (AC and DC) connecting the different
components of the Series 1000 System must be installed
in threaded, rigid, metal conduit. DO NOT USE PVC.
5.
Do not combine high voltage AC power wires and low
voltage DC wires in a common conduit, junction box, or
wire trough. AC and DC must be in separate metal
conduits (except as noted in Communication Wiring and
Pulser Wiring).
6. Wire gauge and conduit size should be determined
through the use of the Wire Size and Conduit Size charts.
7.
RS-232 communication must not exceed 100 feet. RS-
232 communication wires must be in a separate metal
conduit from any AC wires.
8.
For communication distances exceeding 100 feet, use a
GASBOY RS-422 Short Haul Modem. See
Communication Wiring later in this document.
9. In submersible applications, starter relays are always
recommended; however, the system can directly drive
motors 3/4 HP or smaller.
10. Suction pumps over 3/4 HP at 115/230 VAC must use a
starter relay. The starter relay should be wired in place
of the motor in the applicable pump wiring diagram.
11. Disregard submersible pump in drawing if hose outlets
are suction pumps.
12. A minimum of 18 inches must be maintained between
the Series 1000 post and any of the pumps/dispensers.
