2.7 Startup & Test
2.7.1 Cold-Start
Once the FSC3000 has been configured for the site-specific components and operating parameters, the
entire system operation must be tested. Begin, by cold-starting your FSC3000.
NOTICE: Double-check the wiring before applying power to the system components.
Applying line voltage to low-voltage inputs will damage the system.
The FSC3000 performs a COLD START the first time it powers up. This initializes the system and sets all the
parameters to their default values. One of the defaults is to enable FIT 1 and PCT 1 positions 1 and 2 for
testing. The FSC3000 must then be configured with the site-specific information using ARTWare™ or
Command-Line programming.
Cold starting the FSC3000 forces all of the system parameters to be reset to factory defaults.
NOTICE: All card records and transaction data will be erased! Be sure this is the desired
outcome before executing this procedure.
1. Remove the power cord from the back of the FSC3000.
2. Press and hold both front panel buttons while simultaneously plugging the power cord back into the
FSC3000.
3. Wait for a beep, then release the buttons.
4. Verify the system displays ‘COLD START’ and check for proper operation.
2.7.2 Software Configuration
ARTWare
™
ARTWare is a Windows PC-based configuration utility that simplifies the programming of the FSC3000.
ARTWare can be used in an online or off-line mode. In the online mode, changes to the configuration are
made immediately. In the off-line mode, changes will be downloaded to the FSC3000 when a connection is
established.
ARTWare also creates backup data files for the configuration parameters, which are useful if the FSC3000
ever needs to be restored, and supports a direct serial-wired connection, a remote modem connection or an
Ethernet connection.
For more information about ARTWare refer to the M3034 ARTWare Fuel Control Software Reference Guide.
Command-Line Configuration
You can also program the FSC3000 using the Command-Line Configuration Guide. Use HyperTerminal or
another terminal emulation program to establish communication with the FSC3000. Next, type in the desired
