Safety Precautions and Corrective Actions
NFPA 70, the National Electrical Codes (NEC), define a fuel dispensing site as a hazardous location
and contains guidelines for the installation and operation of any equipment in such a location. NFPA
30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, contains guidelines for electrical equipment and
installations in areas where Class I liquids are stored or handled, and where Class II or Class III
liquids may be stored at or above their flash points. The installer must be knowledgeable of these
and any other applicable safety codes and standards. All FuelMaster
®
passive fueling equipment
complies with applicable federal, state, and local safety codes and standards.
This manual makes recommendations for commercially available equipment and materials that are
required to complete an installation. Trade names and part numbers are also referenced to cite
products that have been tested and known to be serviceable with passive fueling equipment.
Modification of the equipment provided, substitution of any material requirements, or any deviation
from these installation instructions must comply with all applicable safety codes and standards.
Use the following guidelines during installation and maintenance to help protect your passive fueling
equipment from potential damage and ensure your own personal safety:
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate AIM2™ components. To prevent static damage, discharge static
electricity from your body by touching an unpainted metal surface before you touch any AIM2™
electronic components.
As you continue to work with AIM2™, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to remove any
accumulated static charge. Use of a wrist-grounding strap is highly recommended.
The following steps should also be taken to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
• Keep a static-sensitive component in its antistatic packing material until ready for use. Just before
unwrapping the antistatic packaging, discharge accumulated static electricity by touching an
unpainted metal surface.
• Transport sensitive components in antistatic containers or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
Correcting RF Interference
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning off and on the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the radio/TV’s receiving antenna;
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the radio/TV’s receiver;
