Installation Manual
120
Initialization (aka Startup) – initialization and startup are the same. Initialization includes inspection and
testing of an installed FMU and loading the software. Initialization does not include the installation or
pricing of any installation materials, but may include the termination of wires/cables. Training the
customer is normally included in Initialization, but may be performed as a separate function and at a
different time.
Installation – the physical act of mounting the FMU where the customer desires and providing the proper
interfaces to the fuel dispensers, electrical power, communications, transaction printer, and tank monitor.
Installation may include removal of another automated system, but should be specified by quoter/seller.
Fuel dispensers should be pumping fuel before the installation commences. Pulser installation in fuel
dispensers is a function of installation, but pulser pricing is additive to installation labor costs. Cable/fiber
optic network connections may be a function of installation, but wireless network setup is not. Tank
monitors must be installed, operational, and clear of alarms when interfaced to FuelMaster by the
installation technician. Wires, cables, and conduit fittings will be provided, and sealoffs poured as a
function of installation. Post-installation tests cannot be performed on unserviceable interfacing
equipment. All equipment interfacing to FuelMaster
®
must be operational prior to installation, or noted by
the customer and accepted as is. Return trips after installation will be separately billed.
NEC – National Electric Codes; the title for NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 70
PC – personal computer (desktop or laptop)
Poll – connection from the Central Controller to an FMU to upload or download transactions or other
information
Prokee
®
- patented access device for initiating transactions in FMU. Contains EEPROM (read/write/erase
memory chip) programmable through Prokee
®
encoder with connection to Central Controller running
FuelMaster

software.
Pump – dispenser with built-in (suction) pump motor
Qualified Installer – tech who has attended the FuelMaster factory installation training course and has
been assigned an ASR (authorized service representative) number. Tech should have an ID card issued
by Syn-Tech Systems, Inc.
Quart Board: quad UART board; board that plugs into an expansion slot in the mainboard
Retail Dispensers – dispensers which display both cost and quantity
Service Island – location at a fueling site where the dispensers and FMU(s) are located; may also
include other servicing equipment such as hose reels for oil, air, water, transmission fluid, and antifreeze.
Site Preparation – includes everything necessary to prepare
the site for a fixed FMU installation. Will
include installation of underground conduit (conduit should have pull strings installed), concrete pad(s) to
mount FMU(s) on, wiring of fuel dispensers, and existence of AC power, phone, network terminal, as
necessary, to support communications from FMU to Central Controller. Surface mount conduit may be
part of the installation, but must be specified as an installation function by the quoter/seller. Emergency
stop switch installation is a function of site preparation. Someone who comes in to perform an installation
should have all the necessary conduit (except surface mount conduit, as noted), a concrete mount pad for
each FMU, dispensers that are pumping fuel, operational tank monitors, and access to electrical and
communications connections.
Smartcard – access device similar in appearance to a credit card with memory chip imbedded in face of
card. Can receive same inputs as Prokee
®
from Central Controller through a smartcard encoder
