Component Location
Careful planning for the layout of the site will help eliminate possible problems with the start-
up of your system and will ensure continued, reliable system operation.
System
The Series 1000 System should be located on the fuel island. The unit has been designed to
withstand an environment of -30° C
to 40° C, 95% relative humidity, non-condensing. When
mounting the unit, a minimum clearance of 18 inches must be maintained between the post
and any of the pumps or dispensers. This clearance meets the NFPA 30A and NFPA 70
requirements and allows room for wiring and maintenance of the system. Adequate clearance
around the head of the unit is important to provide room for maintenance of the system. A
minimum of 14 inches of clearance from the rear of the unit must be provided to allow the rear
door to open.
Data Terminal
When a data terminal is used with the system it should be located in a clean, office-type
environment. Do not install over a hazardous location. Data terminals supplied by Gasboy
have an operative temperature range of 0° C to 40° C. Locating the terminal in a dirty
environment may cause premature failure.
External Modems
When an external modem is used with the system it is recommended the modem be located in
an office type environment. However, if this is not possible, it should be housed in a protective
enclosure. Do not install over a hazardous location. External modems supplied by Gasboy
have an operative temperature range of 0° C to 40° C.
Power Conditioner
When used, a power conditioner helps provide clean power to the Series 1000 System. Poor
power conditions are a key cause to system malfunction or failure. The power conditioner
provides transient and common mode protection for the Series 1000, although it cannot totally
compensate for extremely poor power conditions. The power conditioner must be located in an
area protected from direct contact with weather (typically near the system circuit breakers) and
should be no further than 50 feet from the Series 1000 for optimum protection. The unit is
designed for an operating temperature range of -20° C to 40° C.
