The Gilbarco Encore® Canopy Light Kit (M03225K001) is an accessory designed to provide illumination for Encore series fuel dispensers, enhancing visibility and safety at fueling stations. This kit integrates a canopy light directly into the dispenser's structure, ensuring consistent lighting for the fueling area. The installation process involves mounting the light conduit assemblies, wiring, and securing the components within the dispenser's frame.
The primary function of the Encore® Canopy Light Kit is to illuminate the fueling area around Encore series dispensers. This improves visibility for customers during nighttime operations, making it easier to read dispenser displays, operate nozzles, and ensure a safer fueling experience. The integrated design ensures that the light is positioned optimally to cast light directly onto the transaction zone and the immediate surrounding area. The kit includes a conduit that houses the wiring, protecting it from environmental elements and potential damage, thereby ensuring reliable operation. The light assembly is designed to be robust and withstand the typical conditions of a fueling station environment.
The Encore® Canopy Light Kit is specifically designed for use with all Encore units, including both standard and S series models. Its integration into the dispenser's lower frame ensures a streamlined appearance and avoids the need for external, separate lighting fixtures that might clutter the fueling island. The kit's design allows for the light to be powered by the dispenser's electrical system, simplifying power management and ensuring that the light operates in conjunction with the dispenser's operational status. The installation process is detailed to ensure proper alignment and secure mounting of the light, which is crucial for effective illumination and long-term durability. The kit accommodates different lower frame manufactured dates, with specific brackets (M03205B003, M12630B001, M14407A001) provided to ensure compatibility across various Encore dispenser generations. This adaptability ensures that a wide range of existing Encore dispensers can be upgraded with this lighting solution. The light conduit assemblies, consisting of the conduit, Unilet, and bracket, are designed for straightforward assembly and attachment to the dispenser's channel. The use of U-bolts and hexagonal flanged nuts ensures a secure mechanical connection, preventing dislodgement due to vibrations or external forces. The kit also addresses the electrical connections, which are to be made by a licensed electrician, ensuring compliance with safety standards and proper functionality. Once installed, the canopy light provides consistent and reliable illumination, contributing to a well-lit and secure fueling environment.
Maintenance of the Encore® Canopy Light Kit primarily involves ensuring the integrity of its components and proper electrical connections. The kit is designed for durability, with components such as the conduit protecting the internal wiring from exposure and damage. During installation, it is emphasized that all external and cosmetic sheet metal removed from the dispenser should be placed in a safe location to prevent damage, facilitating reinstallation and maintaining the dispenser's aesthetic and protective enclosures. The instructions highlight the importance of proper electrical connections, which are to be performed by a licensed electrician. This ensures that the wiring is correctly terminated and insulated, minimizing the risk of electrical faults and maximizing the lifespan of the lighting system. After installation, the lights are tested for correct operation as part of the dispenser's start-up processes, as outlined in the Encore Installation Manual (MDE-3985). This initial testing helps identify and rectify any issues immediately. For ongoing maintenance, the robust construction of the conduit and mounting brackets means that routine checks would primarily focus on the light source itself and the visible integrity of the conduit and its connections. Any issues with the light's operation would likely involve inspecting the electrical connections within the Unilet and the conduit, as well as the light fixture itself. The design allows for access to these components for troubleshooting and replacement if necessary. The use of genuine Gilbarco replacement parts is strongly recommended to maintain safety standards and ensure compatibility, which is a key aspect of long-term maintenance and reliability. The kit's design, with its protected wiring and secure mounting, aims to minimize the need for frequent maintenance, providing a reliable lighting solution for the dispenser.
