Operating the Units Introducing the Encore/Eclipse Series
Operating the Units
The Encore and Eclipse units can dispense fuel in one of the following two modes:
• Console mode (Two-wire) - Authorization and payout occurs at the console
• Standalone mode - Authorization and payout occurs at the pump
This section provides instructions for operating the units in either mode.
Note: For the location of components, refer to the illustrations in “Introducing the Encore/
Eclipse Series” on page 7.
Console Mode (Two-wire)
Consoles can be set up in a pre-authorized mode where a sale is automatically allowed, or in
an authorization mode where a sale requires initiation by a cashier.
To operate a unit in authorization mode, proceed as follows:
Note: Step 1 can occur before or after steps 2 and 3.
1 Authorize the unit at the console.
2 Remove the nozzle and lift the pump handle, if required.
3 Select the grade and/or payment form, if required.
4 Dispense the fuel.
5 Return the nozzle to the nozzle boot.
6 Pay out the fuel transaction at the console.
Standalone Mode
Standalone mode does not involve the console with the sale. To operate a unit in a
pre-authorized mode, proceed as follows:
1 Remove the nozzle and lift the pump handle, if required.
2 Select the grade and/or payment form, if required.
3 Dispense the fuel.
4 Return the nozzle to the nozzle boot.
