The cabinet head measures approximately 15” W x 12” H x 20” D and is mounted on top of
the 48” high pedestal. The cabinet face is protected by a clear acrylic shield for weather
protection. A combination of side extensions and top overhang reduces sun glare, and a
fluorescent light provides lighting for around-the-clock user operation. Visual prompting
messages, displayed on an eye-level 20-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), guide the
user through the steps required to operate the system. A list of operating instructions is also
printed on the cabinet face for reference.
A 12-position membrane keypad, containing the keys 0-9, CLEAR and ENTER, is provided
on the center of the face for entering data (for example, personal identification number (PIN),
odometer readings, pump selections, and so on). All entries, except PIN, are displayed on the
LCD for verification. The card-activated system is equipped with a mag stripe insertion
reader. The FleetKey system is equipped with one or two key receptacles. A red stop button on
the cabinet face allows the dispensing equipment to be shut down quickly in case of
emergency.
The rear of the cabinet is a hinged door secured with a lock to prohibit unauthorized access.
The one-piece hood can be removed for total accessibility during servicing. Servicing is
facilitated by interior LED indicators which help diagnose system problems.
Solid state relays and manual override switches, which control power to the fuel dispensing
equipment, are located in the pedestal. If ordered, an optional, high-speed bi-directional serial
impact receipt printer is also housed within the pedestal. The wiring for all equipment
connected to the Series 1000 is terminated in the pedestal. The standard Series 1000 System
controls two hose outlets, and can be expanded in two hose increments to control a maximum
of eight hoses. The unit can be expanded in the field. The system can handle pulsing rates of
dollar (penny per pulse) or quantity (1, 10, 100, 250, 500, or 1000 pulses per unit of product).
The pulse rate selection switch is located in an area sealable by Weights and Measures for
retail applications.
The Series 1000 System contains two asynchronous ports for terminal and/or computer
communications. An optional auxiliary port PCB (two ports) is available for tank monitor
interfacing. The ports can be set for either RS-232 or RS-422 communications to meet
individual requirements.
A CRT or data terminal with an ASCII character set, or a computer with the proper interface,
is required to communicate with the Series 1000. The data terminal (or computer) is connected
to the system through one of the two asynchronous communication ports located in the system
cabinet. A tank monitor may be connected to the system through the optional auxiliary
asynchronous communication port which would also be located in the system cabinet.
Communication is through direct wire, or by dial-up phone lines using an optional built-in
modem. Refer to
for specific communications
requirements and distance limitations.
