Before You Begin Installation
Physical Placement
Place the Gilbarco Site Server in an area that is not subject to extreme temperature variations.
The ambient temperature must remain relatively constant. Do not install the Gilbarco Site
Server in a position exposed to direct sunlight or provide a suitable sunscreen.
The Gilbarco Site Server must be installed at lea
st 18 inches above the floor. Place the
Gilbarco Site Server in an area that minimizes the possibility of liquids being spilled on it. The
Gilbarco Site Server must be located within 6 feet of the power source (electrical outlet).
Note: A 6-foot cable is shipped with the kit. How
ever, the Gilbarco Site Server can be farther
away from LRE switch if preferred by the customer; the customer must provide a longer
cable.
Placement of the electrical J-box, LRE switch, and modem
must be considered in relation to
the Gilbarco Site Server to accommodate the communication cables.
Electrical Wiring Requirements
The receptacle(s) that provides power to the Gilbarco Site Server must be properly installed on
the isolated ground receptacle (Hubbell
®
#IG5261 or equivalent). This type of receptacle is
easily identified by its bright amber color and by the triangle embossed onto the face of the
outlet. The green grounding screw must be attached to the grounding conductor.
• All electrical wiring must conform to the N
EC and local wiring codes, as well as the
criteria in
this manual.
• All AC wiring must be on the same electrical
phase as all of the other Gilbarco site
equipme
nt.
• One conduit from the breaker panel to the Gilbarco S
ite Server location is required. The
conduit
must contain three 14 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires: 115 VAC hot,
neutral,
an
d ground; or 230 VAC L1, L2, and ground. Do not use the electrical conduit to provide
the earth ground.
• The circuit that powers the Gilbarco Site Serve
r must not power other devices. This circuit
must not sha
re a conduit with wiring for devices that draw high amperage, su
ch as
compressors, and free
zers, or devices that are sources of Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI), such as TVs, microwaves, and intercoms.
Ethernet Wiring Requirements
Ethernet wiring must be installed in accordance with the ANSI/TIA/EIA 568 B Standards and
Amendments.
The two wiring options for the Applause Media
System are as follows:
• CAT-5 Ethernet run must be under 280 feet and in non-AC conduit.
• UTP data wires in either conduit.
Note: Twisted-pairs in the AC conduit will r
equire an isolation box in the back room.
Primary wiring recommendations [for twisted-
pair Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)]:
• Q13221-02 Wire-300 V stranded, annealed copper-tinned with Polyvinyl Chlo
ride (PVC)
insulation.
• Type TFFN or NTW, Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-approved, gasolin
e and
oil-resistant.
• 18 AWG wire with 10-12 twists per foot.
