SYSTEM WIRING

GENERAL WIRING PRECAUTIONS

The quality of the electrical installation is a major factor in maintaining proper safety levels and
providing trouble-free operation of your GASBOY Fuel Point Reader. To ensure a quality
installation, follow these rules:

1.

All wiring must be installed and used in accordance with all building/fire codes, all Federal,
State, and Local codes, National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, and Automotive and
Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A) codes and regulations. Canadian users must also
comply with the Canadian Electrical Code.

2.

Use rigid metal conduit and insulated gasoline- and oil-resistant wiring of the proper size.

3.

Wire connections must be tightly spliced and secured with a wire nut; close off the open end
of the wire nut with electrical tape.

4.

Install an emergency power cutoff. In addition to circuit breaker requirements of NFPA 70,
NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, and the Canadian Electrical Code (Canadian users only), a single
control which simultaneously removes AC power from all site dispensing equipment is
recommended. This control must be readily accessible, clearly labeled, and in accordance
with all local codes.

In a fuel management system application, the EMERGENCY STOP button on the island card
reader and/or the EMERGENCY STOP and STOP keys on the console (if applicable) do not
remove AC power from equipment and under certain conditions, will not stop product flow.

In order to provide the highest level of safety to you, your employees, and customers, we
recommend that all employees be trained as to the location and procedure for turning off
power to the entire system.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electrical shock when servicing, turn off all power to the
pump/dispenser. In submersible pump applications, turn off all power to the submersible
pump and any other dispensers which use that submersible pump. AC power can feed back
into a shut-off dispenser when dispensers share a common submersible pump or starter
relay.

AVERTISSEMENT

Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique lors de l'entretien/révision, coupez totalement le
courant à la pompe/distributeur. Dans les applications de pompe immersible, coupez
totalement le courant à la pompe immersible et tous autres distributeurs qui utilisent la
pompe immersible. Le courant alternatif peut alimenter de nouveau un distributeur à l'arrêt
quand les distributeurs partagent une pompe immersible commune ou un relais de
démarrage.
