SECTION 4
AIM2™ INSTALLATION
Installation requirements are coordinated with the purchasing customer when the sale is made. A
complete passive fueling system requires the installation of the FMU, all AIM2™ vehicle equipment,
and a Central Controller. Installation of the FMU and Central Controller may be accomplished by
anyone qualified, and must be installed before installation of the AIM2™ vehicle equipment. FMU
installation is performed in accordance with the FMU Installation Manual. Basic software (Central
Controller) installation is performed in accordance with the FMPlus User Guide.
The AIM2™ vehicle equipment installation may be accomplished by the customer (or their
representative) or Syn-Tech Systems. Most customers have their own mechanics, and the
mechanics are trained to perform their own AIM2™ vehicle installations. This can be of great
advantage to the customer. Their passive systems may be removed and reinstalled as vehicles are
replaced without seeking outside assistance. When the customer chooses to install their own vehicle
equipment, Syn-Tech Systems or one of their qualified distributors provides installation training to
the customer’s mechanics.
Some additional things to consider in your AIM2™ installations:
• The FMU FRB will not find the correct radio channel to communicate with the AIM2™ module
until the hoses are configured.
• The AIM2™ module uses RF technology to communicate with the FMU. If the AIM2™ module is
fully enclosed in metal or fiberglass enclosures it may not communicate with the FMU unless an
external antenna is connected to the AIM2™ module. Most vehicle installations will not require
an external antenna.
• If more than one OBD connection is available in the vehicle being installed, the serviceability of
the connection may be tested by making a connection to the vehicle OBD connector and turning
the vehicle ignition switch on. If the connection is serviceable, a yellow OBD connect light will
illuminate on the AIM2™ module.
• If an installation is being made in a vehicle with a cable driven speedometer (no OBD
connection), a transducer may be required to send vehicle speed data to the AIM2™ module.
Syn-Tech Systems does not stock transducers for these installations. Consult a parts distributor
for the make of vehicle under consideration.
• Installations will vary from vehicle-to-vehicle by year, make, and model. Do not assume an
installation will work without testing if similar installations were performed on similar vehicles.
Changes have been seen between two vehicles of the same make, model, and year.
• Do not install any AIM2™ components within close proximity of hot or moving vehicle parts.
• AIM2™ nozzle tags must be installed in numerical order of their ID number (ANIDs), lowest to
highest. For example, if a nozzle tag with ID 2 is installed on hose 1, a nozzle tag with ID 3 or
higher must be installed on hose 2.
• The use of dielectric grease to prevent corrosion is recommended to seal cable connections
exposed to the environment.
