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.
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.
The FuelMaster
®
equipment for each installation is assembled to fulfill specific site requirements
and must be installed accordingly.
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.
