The following table lists the parts supplied by Gasboy and the corresponding explanation.
Parts Explanation
Two Wireless Modem Enclosure Assemblies:
• For Fueling Position (M06545A001).
See Figure 2 on page 10 .
• For Base Station (M06545A002).
See Figure 3 on page 11 .
• One wireless modem enclosure is used at each end of the
communications loop (see note on page 5 ).
• You must have a copy of the Call Data Record (CDR) Setup
Tools version 2.2 or above (KS319 001PC) to program the
modems. This is provided with the M06544K002 kit. This
software is also available as a free download at
http://www.coyotedatacom.com/support.htm
• You will need a PC capable of running the software, a serial port,
and a DB9 male to female cable to connect the PC to the
wireless modem. The same cable can also be used for a laptop.
Note: This cable is assembled in the field from the following
loose parts shipped in the M06544K002 kit:
- Q13850-15 (cable, work area, 15 feet)
- Q13180-20B (gender mender, 9-pin D-sub to jack)
- Q13180-61 (gender mender, Coyote modem, for
M06551A002)
• The power connection for the wireless modem at the Gasboy
system end is provided by the Gasboy system power supply. For
the wireless modem at the PC end, the power is provided from a
M01878B001 110-volt AC to 12-volt DC transformer block. This
transformer MUST be plugged into the same circuit that provides
power to the PC.
• Gasboy supplies 4 Amphenol (82-202) or its equivalent as the N
style male connector (M06547B001) for use with the Base
station kit coaxial cable runs. Two connectors are needed for
each coaxial cable run. These connectors are sized for the RG8/
U cable diameter. If you use a different cable, you will have to
locally purchase connectors that are sized for the cable installed.
Two of these connector kits are used for the coaxial cable run
from the antenna to the lightning suppressor and two are used
for the coaxial cable run for the lightning arrestor to the Base
station kit. See
Assembling the Connector (M06547B001) on
page 20 for details.
• Once the system communication is fully tested, these
connections MUST be protected by an appropriate sealing tape
(M06571B001) designed for an all weather environment.
Antennas:
• At fueling positions: 6 dB Gain
Directional Yagi Antenna (M06554A001)
• At base stations: 5 dB Gain
Omnidirectional (M06553A001)
• One antenna will be used at each end of the communications
loop (see note on page 5 ).
• A mounting kit to attach the omni antenna to the antenna mast is
supplied as part of the antenna kit (M06568A001).
• In general, a directional antenna is used at the Gasboy system
end of the communications loop and an omnidirectional antenna
at the PC end of the loop.
• On sites with a single Gasboy system, and where the distance
between antennas is more than 2500 feet (762 meters), the use
of two directional antennas is recommended.
• On sites with a single Gasboy system and line of sight partially
blocked by high voltage transformers, microwave towers or in
the neighborhood of airports, the use of two directional antennas
is recommended if the distance between towers exceeds 1500
feet (457.2 meters).
