Section 3
Site Planning and Preparation
Introduction
This section includes considerations which must be given to planning and preparation for FuelMaster
®
servicing and Central Accounting Office sites. Each servicing site identified in the Fuel Management
Software will contain, as a minimum, one master FMU, one product dispenser, and one product tank.
Additional satellite FMUs, product dispensers, product tanks, tank monitors, transaction printers, and
associated communications equipment may also be located at the servicing site. The Central Accounting
Office will contain the Central Controller and associated communication and office equipment. Servicing
sites and the Central Accounting Office may be combined at one location, or they may be at two or more
separate locations. A Central Accounting Office may support hundreds of servicing sites.
The goal when planning a FuelMaster
®
installation is to have and maintain a totally automated fueling site.
When planning an installation with multiple FMUs, consider distributing products over multiple FMUs rather
than connecting all products to one FMU. If all hoses of one product are connected to one FMU, and that
FMU becomes non-operational, automation for that product has stopped. But, if two FMUs each have an
unleaded and a diesel hose connection and one FMU becomes unserviceable, the other FMU still has an
automated unleaded and diesel hose.
FMU Dimensions
Figure 3-1 is an illustration of an FMU with dimensions. The FMU footprint is illustrated in Section 4,
Installation. Consider these dimensions when selecting a mount location. These dimensions apply to
FMU-2000, FMU-2500, FMU-3000, and FMU-3500 series FMUs.
Since the FMU must be accessed to start a transaction from a dispenser (except with AIM2™),
consideration should be given to mounting the FMU(s) for convenient access to the dispensers.
Consideration should also be given to mounting a Satellite FMU on additional service islands to
preclude users from walking across traffic lanes to start a transaction.
The sunscreen overlaps the front and sides of the FMU upper cabinet, but is flush with the back.
Where applicable, AIM2™ antenna housings are attached to the back of the FMU cabinet. Other
applications requiring antennas may also use the AIM2™ antenna housings. AIM2™ antenna
housings are 2 inches wide x 2 inches deep x 3-1/2 inches high.
Unlike the illustration, the upper cabinet door will open only as wide as the fully opened pedestal
door.
The FMU upper cabinet may be reversed so the pedestal door will open to the rear of the FMU. This
will permit FMU installation inside a kiosk where the upper cabinet door accessories (keypad,
display, etc.) are accessible from outside the building while the pedestal is accessible from inside the
building. If considering this application, leave some work space between the FMU pedestal and kiosk
wall for removing mount screws for the relay assemblies and pedestal I/O board.
EIU Dimensions
Figure 3-2 is an illustration of the EIU with dimensions. These dimensions are applicable for all
existing versions of the EIU. The EIU footprint is illustrated in Section 4, Installation.
