Introduction
This Site Preparation Guide has been
written to assist you in understanding how
the M3000 automated card reader system
functions and what site infrastructure is
required for startup. Please take the nec-
essary time to review this booklet. Many
of the suggestions and recommendations
contained in these pages are sincerely
presented to help you avoid costly mis-
steps.
In order to assure you have a smooth
start up, there are specific requirements
that must be met and recommendations,
which, while not mandatory, will enhance
overall operation. During startup, if re-
quirements have not been met, the
startup technician may require the owner/
operator to sign a warranty exemption.
Please note that these checklist items are
not totally inflexible. There can be some
variance but you must check with a QT
Technologies Field Engineer before mak-
ing any deviations from these recommen-
dations. Two of the most frequent ques-
tions center on pulsers and two-stage
valves. These are mandatory require-
ments since they directly affect the accu-
racy and precision of each fuel transac-
tion. In credit card transactions, all pre-
approved sales are, by definition, "pre-
set". Accurate pre-set sales are not possi-
ble without a two-stage valve.
In addition, a pulser (which is the electric
counting device that tells the fuel terminal
how much fuel is flowing) with incorrect or
insufficient resolution will result in inaccu-
rate readings to your customers and to
you (resulting in possible loss of reve-
nue). It may also place you in jeopardy of
failing local, state, and federal weights &
measures inspections.
Bottom line: We want your M3000 Fuel
Terminal to function 100% as advertised
and the extra effort spent during the site
Preparation Phase will go a long way to
ensure a smooth and trouble free operat-
ing history.
M3000 Components
The M3000 Automated Fuel Terminal
consists of a terminal head that is at-
tached to a pedestal. All site preparation
work centers around the pedestal since
the terminal head is not installed until it is
time to put the unit into service. This is
important since leaving an unpowered
terminal head out in the elements sub-
jects it to moisture condensation that can
corrode the electronics inside. This is why
the pedestal and head are shipped in
separate containers and why the pedestal
