Component Location and Installation Specifications
Careful planning for the layout of the site will help eliminate possible problems with the
startup of your system and will ensure continued, reliable system operation.
System
Regardless of your installation option, the TopKAT system must be located on the fuel island.
The unit has been designed to withstand an environment of -22
° F to 122 ° F (-30 ° C to 50 ° C),
95% relative humidity (non-condensing). When mounting the unit, a minimum clearance of 18
inches between the post and any of the pumps or dispensers must be maintained. This
clearance meets the NFPA 30A and NFPA 70 requirements and allows room for the wiring
and maintenance of the system. Adequate clearance around the head of the unit is important to
provide room for the 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 must be UL-listed and should be located in a
clean, office type of environment. Do not install the data terminal over a hazardous location.
Data terminals supplied by Gasboy have an operative temperature range of 32
° F to 104 ° F
(0 ° C to 40 ° C). Locating the terminal in a dirty environment may cause premature failure.
Refer to “Port Communication Wiring” on page 28 for your installation type to connect the
data terminal.
External Modem
When an external modem is used with the system it must be UL-listed and should be located in
an office type of environment. However, if this is not possible, it should be housed in a
protective enclosure. Do not install the modem over a hazardous location. External modems
supplied by Gasboy have an operative temperature range of 32
° F to 104 ° F (0 ° C to 40 ° C). The
type of phone line required for communication via an external modem is dependant on the
type of modem used and the method of communication desired. Consult the manual that
comes with the modem for specific requirements. Refer to
“Port Communication Wiring” on
page 28 for your installation type to connect the external modem.
