Receipt Printer:
two Receipt Printer options are available: FMU pedestal mount or indoor. Both
Receipt Printer options print a receipt for automated transactions. The receipts print system owner
name, date, time, User ID, Vehicle ID, hose, product, and quantity. Additional custom information
may be programmed for receipt printing.
The pedestal receipt printer cuts off receipts after printing and deposits them in a chute with a clear
plastic access door. The door is manually lifted to remove the printed receipt. The pedestal receipt
printer utilizes a thermal printer, and contains a thermostatically controlled heater to keep its
electronics warm and the printer paper dry.
Retail Applications: considerable research and field testing has been completed to ensure
compliance with Weights and Measures requirements. Filling long fueling hoses at small airports
and marinas can result in quantity differences between what the dispensing device displays and the
amount of fuel actually delivered to the customer. Delay devices have been developed to delay the
counting of pulses until the dispensing hose is fully pressurized. Large remote displays with four
inch quantity figures programmable to match the divide rate of the pulsers have been developed for
use at small airports and marinas. Firmware and software modifications have been made to comply
with Weights and Measures, and provide an export interface to FBO Manager. See Appendix E for
more details.
RS-232/RS-422 Mini Converter and Short-Haul Modem: the RS-232/RS-422 Mini
Converter and Short-Haul Modem is used to attain the greater communications distance possible
with RS-422, and step down to an RS-232 termination at a printer or tank monitor. When used in
pairs, the converter may function as a short haul modem to extend the working length of an RS-232
printer cable. Syn-Tech stocks a version with a DB25 connector. Other versions with DB9, RJ-11,
and RJ-45 connectors plus surge protection are available from the manufacturer, Patton Electronics.
Satellite FMUs: satellite FMUs are lower cost FMUs which may be added to a fueling site when
there is a need for more than one FMU. Each satellite FMU must be connected to a master FMU
through either RS-422 cable or via a wireless connection. Satellite FMUs control dispensing hoses
the same as master FMUs. Satellite FMUs are physically identical to master FMUs, but cannot
accept connections to the Central Controller, tank monitors, transaction printers, receipt printers, or
accept credit cards which require dial-out for authorization. Satellite FMUs may be easily converted
to master FMUs.
Security Cameras: security cameras and digital video recorders (DVR) have been integrated
with FuelMaster
®
to monitor activity at fueling sites. If desired, speak to your distributor or Regional
Sales Manager for guidance. Syn-Tech does not manufacture or stock this equipment, but can refer
you to a source of supply for compatible systems.
Semi-Manual Mode: option created for rapidly filling and refilling emergency response vehicles.
The mode is initiated at a specific fueling hose with a Supervisor Key. All subsequent transactions
through that hose are recorded without the need for user entry at the FMU. All transactions in Semi-
Manual Mode are charged to the Supervisor Key used to initiate the mode of operation.
Special Applications: FMUs can be wired to control a variety of special applications to include,
but not limited to, hose reels, car washes, gate openers, fill stands, security cameras, PRIST
injectors, etc. Speak to your distributor or Regional Sales Manager, or call Syn-Tech’s Customer
Satisfaction Center for guidance.
