Section 1 General Information

Introduction FuelMaster® consists of equipment developed to control access to, account for, and compile reports for transactions from dispensing equipment. FuelMaster® accomplishes this with security from unauthorized user access while maintaining complete accountability of each transaction as it occurs. The FuelMaster® equipment for each installation is assembled to fulfill specific site requirements and must be installed accordingly.

FuelMaster® permits true self-service, automated, fuel dispensing for any application ranging from small service stations to large-scale fleet operations, including retail sales. The FMUs (Fuel Management Units) and Fuel Management Software are encoded by Syn-Tech Systems with matching system designators (site signatures) to assure security and allow access only by the customer to which the system designator is assigned. DoD systems may be utilized universally by all DoD personnel; unauthorized users are “locked out”.

The FuelMaster® equipment can be integrated to extract accumulated transaction data from one service station, or several far removed and isolated service stations that report to one central accounting office. Transaction data is compiled after data communication to a central accounting office which may be hundreds, or thousands of miles remote from the servicing operations.

The FuelMaster® equipment may be adapted to control dispensing equipment for any product (not just fuel) that can be metered. Optional equipment are available to utilize the same system and system access devices to activate electronic gate openers, door openers, and automated car washes.

Some electronic fuel dispensers may only be controlled through a two-wire connection to the dispenser CPU. For these dispensers, an Electronic Dispenser Interface Kit must be installed between the FMU and dispenser distribution box. Appendix B contains a Dispenser Compatibility Listing which will identify when an Electronic Dispenser Interface Kit is needed. Appendix H provides details on the use of the Electronic Dispenser Interface.

Safety Precautions In addition to the safety precautions contained within this installation manual, the FuelMaster® installer must be familiar with the guidelines contained within all other safety codes and standards applicable to the installation and operation of electrical equipment, particularly within hazardous locations. All FuelMaster® and non-FuelMaster® equipment supplied by Syn-Tech Systems, Inc., complies with all applicable federal, state, and local safety codes and standards.

References: The following references, as a minimum, and as they apply to the installation, must be familiar to the technician performing a FuelMaster® installation:

• NFPA Handbook 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, provides requirements for the safe storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids.

• NFPA Handbook 30A, Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, provides safeguards for dispensing liquid and gaseous motor fuels into the fuel tanks of automotive vehicles and marine craft.

• NFPA Handbook 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), contains guidelines for the installation and operation of electrical equipment. Chapter 5 specifically addresses the installation of electrical equipment in hazardous locations.

• NFPA Handbook 407, Standard for Aircraft Fuel Servicing, provides minimum fire safety requirements for procedures, equipment, and installations during ground fuel servicing of aircraft using liquid petroleum fuels. Knowledge of this reference is necessary when performing an installation in support of aircraft fuel servicing.

• NIST Handbook 44, Specifications, Tolerances, and Other Technical Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices, technical requirements for the purpose of eliminating from use weights and measures and weighing and measuring devices that give readings that are false, that are of such construction that they are faulty, or that facilitate the perpetration of fraud.

Section 3 contains most of the guidelines for retail self service fuel site inspection criteria.

Knowledge of this reference is necessary when performing an installation in support of retail fuel sales.

Safety Guidelines: Use the following guidelines to help protect your FMU from potential damage and ensure your own personal safety.

WARNING

Do not operate your FMU with any cover removed or door open.

AVERTISSEMENT

N'actionnez pas votre FMU quand aucune couverture est déplacée ou aucune porte est ouverte.

CAUTION

Do not open your FMU’s doors during wet weather.

ATTENTION

N'ouvrez pas les portes de Votre FMU par le temps de pluie.

As you use your FMU, observe the following safety guidelines:

• To help avoid damaging your FMU, be sure the AC power available at your location is 110 volts, 50 or 60 hertz (Hz).

• To help prevent electrical shock, connect the FMU into properly grounded sources.

• To help avoid possible damage to the FMU and or other interfacing equipment, wait 5 seconds after turning off all interfacing equipment before disconnecting any interconnecting cables.

• To help protect your FMU from sudden, transient electrical increases, your FMU is equipped with Surge Protection. All equipment interfacing your FMU needs to use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

• Be sure nothing rests on your FMU’s cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

• Do not spill food or liquids on your FMU or interfacing equipment.

• Do not push any objects into the openings of your FMU. Doing so can cause fire or electrical shock by shorting-out internal components.

• Keep your FMU away from radiators and heat sources.

WARNING

Do not attempt to service the FMU yourself, except as explained in this manual. Always follow installation and service instructions closely.

AVERTISSEMENT

N'essayez pas d'entretenir le FMU vous-même, excepté comme expliqué en ce manuel. Suivez toujours les instructions d'installation et de maintenance précisément.

Before you open the door or remove any FMU covers, perform the following steps in the sequence indicated:

• Turn off/unplug your FMU and any devices. Certain system board components continue to receive power anytime the FMU is connected to AC power.

• Disconnect your FMU and devices from their sources. Also disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the FMU to reduce the potential for personal injury or shock.

• Wear a wrist grounding strap or touch an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as the back panel, before touching anything inside your FMU.

• While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the FMU chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. To disconnect this type cable, press in the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

• Handle components and Prokee®s with care. Don’t touch the contacts on a Prokee®

• Hold components by their edges or by their metal mounting bracket.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge: static electricity can harm delicate components inside your FuelMaster® FMU. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your FuelMaster® FMU’s electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the FuelMaster® FMU chassis.

As you continue to work inside your FuelMaster® FMU, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated. Use of a wrist-grounding strap is highly recommended.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

• Keep a static-sensitive component in its antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your FuelMaster® FMU. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, discharge electricity from your body.

• Transport sensitive components in antistatic containers or packaging.

• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

Protecting Against Radio Interference: this equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a commercial installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning off and on the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the radio/TV’s receiving antenna;

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the radio/TV’s receiver;

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the radio/TV’s receiver is connected; and,

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Wireless Network Security The means exists for wireless network communications between your Central Controller and FMU.

As the technology and equipment becomes more available and affordable, the options make it easier for wireless connectivity. In addition to the ease afforded you, easy connectivity is also available to those you may not wish to share your information with. The information gathered and stored by FuelMaster® need not be secure, but your Central Controller and FMU may be connected to a network containing private information you want to be secure.

Syn-Tech cannot emphasize enough the potential ramifications of breached network security.

Without proper wireless network security, outside users can access your network to attain information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and countless other very valuable and private information sources stored on your network. In planning your wireless network, ensure you purchase the right equipment and plan for a secure network that won’t allow outsiders access to your information.

A Hold Harmless Agreement is attached to this manual, and requested to be signed by the using customer. This agreement references the potential hazards associated with wireless network security, and serves to remove liability from the seller (Syn-Tech Systems or its distributors) when wireless networking equipment is installed for communications to the FMU.

Certifications/Approvals FuelMaster® FMUs have been tested and safety certified by the ETL SEMKO division of Intertek to ANSI/UL Specification 1238 for connection to UL-certified dispensers in NEC Class 1, Division 2, Group D locations. Equipment versions certified by ETL are identified by the ETL logo imprinted on the ID plate riveted to the FMU pedestal.

Figure 1-1 illustrates the boundaries of a hazardous location which dispenses flammable liquids such as gasoline and E85. Propane (liquefied petroleum gas) has the same basic boundaries.

The boundary area around a compressed natural gas (CNG) dispenser is different. It extends 5 feet from, and above, the dispenser. Any electrical device installed within these boundaries must be

Figure 1-1. Boundaries of a Flammable Liquid Hazardous Location intrinsically safe or must be enclosed within an explosion-proof enclosure. Intrinsically safe devices are generally limited to very low voltage and low current devices, such as that portion of a pulser before the barrier. Examples of explosion-proof enclosures are rigid metal conduit, and junction boxes and conduit fittings approved for use in hazardous locations. If the electrical device is not intrinsically safe, or is not explosion-proof, then it must be installed outside the hazardous area.

Figure 1-2 illustrates an FMU and the distance from its mounting surface to where electrical components are installed. All internal electrical components are 28 inches above the mounting surface. This places all electrical components in the FMU a full 10 inches outside the hazardous location. This 10 inch separation provides additional spacing for the installation of outlet boxes or other devices which are not explosion-proof, and which cannot be installed in hazardous locations.

FuelMaster® has been certified for use in electrical installations in Canada and Europe as well as the United States. FMUs certified for use in Canada and Europe may be identified through the ID plate riveted to the FMU pedestal. See Figure 1-3 for examples of FMU ID plates for U.S., Canadian and European certification.

Syn-Tech received notification of PCI compliance in May 2009. If it is desired to validate compliance through the PCI Security Standards Council website, go to Validated Payment Applications and search on Syntech-Fuelmaster.

FuelMaster® has also been certified by the National Conference on Weights and Measures, and has NTEP (National Type Evaluation Program) Certificate 02-115. The NTEP certificate applies to the FMU-2500 and FMU-3000 series, and is referenced on the FMU ID plate. The series covers FMU- 2500 classic and Plus FMUs, and FMU-3000 and FMU-3500 passive FMUs.

ID Plates An ID plate (see Figure 1-3) is affixed to the side of the FMU pedestal closest to the pedestal door locks.

The ID plate contains the serial number of the unit as well as certification information, and a code to cross reference the key number used in the door locks (see Table 1-1). If a pedestal is replaced due to an upgrade or damage, the new pedestal will not have an ID plate installed. Remove the ID plate from the older unit and install it on the newer unit using pop-rivets. Pop-rivets 1/8 inch wide x 1/4 inch long should be used to secure the ID plates to the pedestal.

The FMU is shipped in two pieces, in two separate shipping containers. The upper cabinet has a bar code label inside the cabinet on the side wall closest to the door hinges. The bar code label has the FMU serial number printed to match the serial number on the pedestal ID plate. The shipping containers are also marked with the FMU serial number.

Basic FuelMaster® FMU Warranty The basic warranty for each FuelMaster® FMU provides coverage for parts and telephonic labor for a period of one year from date of start-up or fifteen months from date of shipment, whichever occurs first. Each Prokee® is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of five years. A toll-free number for technical assistance is also included. This line affords the customer access to product support personnel who will answer questions regarding operation of FuelMaster® hardware or software, and provide diagnostic capabilities when necessary.

Under terms of this agreement, FuelMaster® technicians will telephonically diagnose problems, with the assistance of the customer, to determine warrantable conditions, and possible problem solutions. Syn-Tech Systems, Inc. will replace all defective parts and provide assistance to the customer in installation of replacement parts to allow the unit to be repaired as expeditiously as possible. Please note that the FuelMaster® was designed in a modular manner to provide easy and rapid exchange of parts, even by non-technical personnel. Other systems are not designed this way and consequently; do not offer warranties comparable to FuelMaster®. This warranty does not cover site visits by FuelMaster® technicians for repair.

Please note that damage resulting from acts of God, user abuse, accidents, faulty installation or operation is not covered under the warranty. This warranty specifically excludes any indirect, special, or consequential damages to include, but not limited to, loss of product, profit, or litigation fees. Additionally, associated equipment including printers, personal computers, and other items not manufactured by Syn-Tech Systems, Inc. are warranted only to the extent covered by the original manufacturer. Additionally, this warranty is limited to approved locations (generally the continental United States) and is not transferable except by written permission of Syn-Tech Systems, Inc.

Initialization Requirement All FuelMaster® Fuel Management Systems must be initialized to validate the warranty of the equipment. Initialization is the startup, inspection, and tests performed to certify the installation.

Initialization can be completed only by a Syn-Tech FuelMaster® technician, or a technician who has completed the Syn-Tech FuelMaster® Installation School. Final certification must be accomplished jointly by the Customer and Syn-Tech factory trained personnel.

NOTE

The prompt for the activation code may not appear if a credit card is inserted. If a newly installed FMU is being setup, insert a Prokee® or smartcard to bring up the prompt for the activation code. An activation code must be entered to begin normal FMU operation.

When a Prokee® or smartcard is inserted after initial power-up, FMUs will prompt the initializing technician to call 1-800-888-9136, ext. 1500, for an activation code. This number connects to Syn- Tech’s Customer Satisfaction Center (Help Desk). The caller will be forwarded to a Customer Satisfaction Center (CSC) technician who has a 1-page form (see Figure 1-4) to complete before he/she can provide the activation code. The caller will be asked pertinent questions about the site and FMU. The CSC technician will need the FMU serial number to generate an activation code. It is very important the FMU is assembled with the correct upper cabinet which matches the pedestal with the serialized ID plate. If not, the activation code will not activate the FMU.

Support

Syn-Tech Systems strives to provide the best customer and distributor support possible. Free on-site distributor and customer training is provided quarterly (or more often as needed) at the FuelMaster® factory in Tallahassee, Florida. Training at the distributor’s location is available where it may be more cost effective to send a trainer(s) from Syn-Tech rather than send several technicians to Tallahassee for factory training.

Webinars are available through the internet for training sessions between a Syn-Tech trainer in Florida, and customer representative(s) anywhere there is internet access. See the FuelMaster® website at http://www.myfuelmaster.com/ for assistance scheduling training.

Syn-Tech offers a well staffed Customer Satisfaction Center (CSC) to take questions and calls from FuelMaster® customers. In addition, a Distributor Support Center (DSC) provides answers from experienced field technicians for distributors needing installation, startup, training, or troubleshooting assistance.

Questions for the CSC should be called in to 800-888-9136, ext. 1500, or e-mailed to support@myfuelmaster.com.

Syn-Tech maintains an e-mail database of all FuelMaster® distributors. Whenever a new publication or other pertinent information is published, it is forwarded to all distributors on the mailing list. If your e-mail address changes, or other e-mail addresses are added, forward the new address to distributor_replies@myfuelmaster.com.

Section 2 System Description

Introduction Components. The FuelMaster® Fuel Management System consists of equipment designed to automate control and accountability of any metered liquid or gas. It is not limited only to fuels applications. The base system contains all equipment necessary to accomplish these tasks and consists of:

• Fuel Management Unit with controls for two hoses, upgradeable to eight hoses

• Prokee®s or Smartcards

• Fuel Management Software

• Prokee® or Smartcard Encoder

• Installation and Operation Manuals

Version Differences. FuelMaster® Fuel Management Systems may be Classic or Plus. The major differences between the two are: 1) the older Classic systems have an EPROM on the mainboard, two batteries, and four expansion slots, 2) the newer Plus series contains the latest configurations and options, has a flash loader and compact flash card on the mainboard, a single battery, and six expansion slots. Classic and Plus series FMUs may be intermixed only if the Plus series software is being used to communicate with the Fuel Management Units (FMUs).

Interconnected Master and Satellite FMUs must be from the same (Classic or Plus) series, using the same firmware. See Appendix C for a complete listing of the entire Classic and Plus lines of systems and options. Unless otherwise specified, where instructions reference the FMU-2500, the same instructions apply to the FMU-2500 Classic and Plus, the FMU-3000 (classic AIM), and the FMU-3500 (Plus AIM2™/AIM2.4™).

Equipment Description and Location Fuel Management Unit (FMU)

Description. (See Figure 2-1) The primary function of FMUs is to control access to connected product dispensers, and accumulate data for each automated transaction. FMUs may also be used to control and report access to carwashes, gate openers, or other restricted access devices, and to interface with tank monitors/tank gauges to receive a variety of reports. FMUs may be Fixed or Mobile (Mobile FMUs are covered in the Mobile Installation Manual). Fixed FMUs are permanently mounted on or near the service island, and may be a Master or Satellite. A Master FMU communicates with the Central Controller, and controls all connected Satellite FMUs and EIUs (Equipment Interface Units). Master FMUs and Satellite FMUs are identical in external physical appearance. A Satellite FMU or EIU must be connected to a Master FMU for proper operation.

Each fixed FMU can control up to eight dispenser hoses. A Master FMU can also control up to eight Satellite FMUs and/or EIUs. Control of Satellite FMUs/EIUs is through an RS-422 or wireless connection to the Master FMU. The base FMU (fixed Master or Satellite) is provided with hose controls for two hoses. Additional hose controllers, up to a total of eight, may be purchased in the equipment order. An EIU will control only one device.
