Figure 3-3 Alignment of the Vehicle G-Ring to the Ground Antenna

• The fourth design consideration is the relationship between the adjacent ground antenna or

distance between two pumps on the same fuel island (dimension D). See Figure

. Ten

foot (10 feet) ground antenna spacing is recommended to guarantee no cross talk between
two adjacent units. This is determined by multiplying the maximum 48 inches radius x 2
and adding 2 feet. If antenna must be spaced less than 10 feet, use the following table to
determine the effective communication range based on G-Ring heights for vehicles being
fueled. The dimensions are for G-Rings installed with at least 1 inch spacing between the
G-Ring and a solid metal vehicle surface. Contact your Gasboy distributor before
installing antenna spaced less than 10 feet.
