Authorizing a Gate Opening Using Fuel Point Gate Antenna System
The gate controller is a separately purchased device and is not part of the Fuel Point System. It
is configured to be opened from a relay closure provided by a Fuel Point-equipped FMS.
Gates vary greatly, depending on the brand and model. During the overall system design,
please review the following operational procedures with an authorized representative of the
gate manufacturer.
The standard gate opening switch or detector normally used is replaced by the Fuel Point Gate
System. The triggering device is replaced by a Fuel Point Ground Antenna that operates with a
Fuel Point-equipped vehicle.
Fuel Point Gate Parameters
When a Fuel Point gate-equipped vehicle is over the ground antenna (or traveling over the
ground antenna at a speed not exceeding 5 MPH) the VM number and system ID are read by
the Fuel Point system via the G-Ring and ground antenna installed in the pavement.
Authorization generally requires 3-4 seconds. If the vehicle is authorized to enter the site, the
system sends a relay closure to the gate controller, logs the event and stores the data. The gate
controller controls the opening and closing of the gate.
Note: Fuel Point-equipped vehicles traveling in excess of 15 MPH or faster will not be
authorized.
