PCXZ Power Requirements
The PCXZ and the configurator box must be powered from a dedicated 115 VAC single circuit breaker, with no
other devices connected to wire or breaker. Do not use a switched neutral breaker. The neutral must come
directly from the neutral bus in the electric supply panel. No other neutral circuits may be connected to this
wire.
The electric supply system earth bond must connect to a driven ground rod or other earth bonding systems that
comply with the National Electrical Code, Article 250.
Failure to comply with these requirements will void warranty.
System Installation
PCXZ Installation
Read entire installation manual before attempting to install the system. Note warnings on previous page.
1. A junction box must be provided which has only enough receptacle outlets to accommodate
the transformers of the PCXZ system. See PCXZ Power Requirements listed below.
2. Securely mount PCXZ main box in a nonhazardous location.
Mount the configurator box(es) within two feet of the main box and attach the PCXZ config
cable (supplied by PIE) between the two boxes. Refer to Dispenser & Reader Specific Installation section of this
manual for instructions on connecting the PIE configurator box to the dispenser data distribution box.
Connect the RS232 serial cable between the Comm port of the POS and the POS port on the
PCXZ main box. If necessary, jumpers may be reconfigured. Refer to Diagram: PCXZ Connector/Jumper
Layout following instructions.
3. Plug in the wall transformers for the main box and the configurator box to the dedicated
outlets.
4. After power is applied, test installed equipment using PCC Demo Test Program supplied on
system diskette. Refer to PCC Demo Test Program in the Diagnostics section of this document.
5. If the dispensers have readers that are being controlled by the POS, test the readers at this
time by running the PCCR test program supplied on the system/test diskette. If the PCCR test
program performs correctly, the PCXZ has been installed properly.
6. Carefully following the vendor’s setup instructions, run the POS application. If the system fails at
this point, contact the vendor for additional instructions.
For the POS/PCXZ system to function properly, the POS must be programmed for the exact number of dispensers to be controlled by the
POS/PCXZ system. (An MPD has multiple hoses, but is considered to be only two dispensers — one dispenser on either side.)
