UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATION OF BENNETT PRODUCTS
Bennett Pump Company products are designed to meet or exceed the standards of UL, FCC and the
National Institute of Standards and Technology. These standards protect the operator and the
consumer from personal injury and insure an accurate delivery of product. Any deviation from the use of
authorized replacement parts or alteration of a designed product configuration may cause personal
injury, death or the revocation of one or all of the above approvals.
The most frequently abused design alteration of Bennett products is the conversion of a self-contained
model (pumping unit in the dispenser cabinet) to a remote dispenser (submerged pump in the storage
tank). This field practice has mainly occurred in an effort to overcome the problem of vapor lock.
Bennett Pump Company does not condone nor offer a kit or instructions for this type of conversion.
Bennett Pump Company strongly opposes this type of conversion. Safety standards required by the
agencies above are violated when unauthorized conversions are performed. Bennett Pump Company
recommends the replacement of a self-contained model with a remote dispenser model to overcome the
problem of vapor lock. The Pacific Series does not offer a self-contained model.
Bennett Pump Company will not assume responsibility or liability for any consequential injury or damage
caused by the unauthorized alteration of its products.
NOTE: Before performing any type of service to the dispensers, be sure to shut off all
electrical supplies and secure them in the OFF position. Close all valves in
incoming piping. Also, to prevent the risk of electrical shock from sub pump feedback, make sure you disconnect the field wiring from the power distribution board
by using the quick disconnect terminals provided at the bottom of the power distribution board. Maintenance must be performed by trained personnel ONLY.
Introduction
BEFORE SERVICING A BENNETT DISPENSER, CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
1. Make sure all dispensers are correctly grounded with 12 gauge wire.
2. Make sure input voltages are within operating level: 120VAC (96 to 135VAC) or 240VAC
(192 to 276VAC).
3. There are no more than two units operating on a clean and dedicated 120/240VAC voltage
sources.
4. There are RC networks installed across the coil of the motor relay and contacts of remote
submerged pumps.
For the safe installation of this equipment, read and understand all warning and cautions. Look for these
warnings:
“DANGER” means: If you do not follow the instructions, severe injury or death will occur.
“WARNING” means: If you do not follow the instructions, severe i njury or death can occur.
“CAUTION” means: If you do not follow the instructions, damage can occur to the equipment.
DANGER: Fire, explosion, injury or death will
occur if fuel filters are changed by untrained
personnel. Make sure only trained personnel
change filters.
DANGER: To prevent injury to you from vehicles
and onlookers, always place a barrier around this
equipment before performing service or
maintenance.
DANGER: Gasoline is flammable. NO
SMOKING OR OPEN FLAME.
DANGER: Disconnect all power to this
equipment and associated submerged
pump(s) during installation, service or any
maintenance, i.e., changing filters.
WARNING: You must have training in the
installation, service or maintenance of this
equipment (dispenser, pump, console, control
box or submerged pump) before working on it.
Maintenance repairs must be done by authorized
personnel only. Warranty work may only be
performed by Bennett certified technicians.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock, keep the
electrical parts of the dispenser dry.
WARNING: Electronic components are static
sensitive. Use proper static precautions (static
straps) before working on the equipment.
WARNING: The emergency shut-off valve (also
called the fire valve, shear valve or impact valve)
must be closed when service or maintenance is
performed on this equipment.
WARNING: You must have training in the
operation and programming of this dispenser
before using it. READ THE OPERATORS
MANUAL.
WARNING: Make sure this equipment is
correctly grounded. Failure to do will cause
injury or damage equipment or improper
operation. Improper grounding voids the
warranty.
WARNING: When anchoring the dispenser,
always level the dispenser with shims before
bolting to the island. DO NOT shim just the
middle of the dispenser and bolt down.
CAUTION: Do not drill holes in fuel dispensers.
Holes can cause failure of the electronic
equipment. The warranty will become void. Use
only adhesive backed sign mounting brackets.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNING LABELS ATTACHED TO THE DISPENSER
NOTICE
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following 2 co nditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) th is device must accept interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
110– 230 Volts A.C. 50 or 60 cycle power comes into the dispenser through field wiring to the bottom of
the Power Distribution Board terminal strip (TS1). Power then passes through a 3 amp fuse and then is
filtered for noise. Any electrical noise is dampened out by this filter FIL1. The power is then passed from
the Power Distribution Board to the Power Supply (through connector J5) for Direct Current (D.C.) conversion. There is only one Power Distribution Board and one Power Supply for the dispenser.
Power comes into the Power Supply assembly on connector J1. This power supply creates various D.C.
Voltages for use throughout the system. Specifically, the power supply takes the 110– 230volt A.C. input
to create the following voltages:
1) +24 Volts DC
2) +12 Volts DC
3) +5 Volts DC
These voltages have tolerances of +/- 5%. There are no adjustments for any of these voltages but there
are test points.
The DC voltages are fed back to the Power Distribution board connector J4 through a multi-pin conductor connected to J2 of the Power Supply. There is fuse protection on the Power Distribution Board for
both power coming into the system and also fuse protection for power traveling internal to the system.
From there the DC voltages are sent over to the CPU board through another multi-pin conductor from
connector J1 of the Power Distribution Board to connector J7 on the CPU board. From this point the
voltages are distributed to all other parts of the system.
Battery Backup— A separate rechargeable +12volt battery is connected to the Power Distribution
Board. When the dispenser is in normal operation the battery is not used and is charged by the +14 volt
D.C. battery charging circuit located on the Power Distribution Board. When main incoming power is removed from the system or when the system incoming AC voltage drops below 74 volts AC, the CPU
detects this and the dispenser goes into “Power Fail” condition. At this point the battery supplies +12
volts DC for 30 seconds to the system or unless you use the magnet provided to close the battery kill
reed-switch. This battery kill switch allows the technician to eliminate the 30 second wait if he has to service the equipment. The battery itself is connected at the factory but requires several hours to charge.
This battery has nothing to do with maintaining system programming in the event of a power outage.
The Power distribution board has other functions as well. This board houses four solid state relays that
are used to route incoming power as Motor “Out” signals to turn on remote submerged pump relays.
These relays are controlled by +12 volt DC signals from the CPU board. When the CPU board wants to
turn on a submerged pump, it sends a +12 volt dc signal to the proper relay pulling in the coil and routing
the power to the proper terminal on the terminal strips located at the bottom of the Power Distribution
Board. When the CPU wants to turn “Off” a motor, it removes the +12volt dc signal which opens that
relay. In the case of blended products, more than one relay is activated at one time.
Dispenser communication with a Point of Sale and Card Reader communication is also routed through
the power distribution board. Dispenser communication comes in from the mod el 515 box to the power
distribution board terminal strip TS5. This is the current loop communication signal that passes through
the Power Distribution Board on connector J3 through a ribbon cable to the CPU board connector J8.
Card reader communication also is routed through the power distribution bo ard. Card reader information
comes from the IC Box through twisted pair wiring (3 wires) and connects to terminal strip TS4. This is
RS485 protocol. This information follows the same path through the power distribution board as the dispenser communication, that is, it exits the power distribution board through the same ribbon ca ble over
to the CPU on connector J8.
The CPU board— The CPU board is the heart of the system. It runs the software, has the memory,
communicates with Point of Sale, sends control signals to the solid state relays, sends display signals to
the display boards, communicates with the product select touch panel, interfaces with the handles and
pulsers through the Intrinsically Safe Barrier Boards, controls the proportional valves through a wiring
harness. It performs the blending functions, and stores historical data for sales and diagnostics. It receives power from the Power Distribution Board. It also routes power to the card reader system. It also
communicates with and sends signals from the Vapor Recovery system.
There is one CPU board per dispenser and it can be accessed easily by opening the electroni cs enclosure door. The CPU board is mounted vertically and has various cables and harnesses connected to it.
The CPU receives dc voltages from the power distribution board on connector J7. The wiring harn ess is
color coded and uses the following color scheme:
1) Orange - +24 volts dc Valve, printer, display and backlighting
2) Yellow- +14 volts dc Battery charging circuit
3) Red - +12 volts dc Product select, Card reader, Pulsers, Handles, Display and Solid State
Relays
4) Black - DC Ground Reference for all DC voltages
5) Violet - +5 volts dc System logic voltage used by the CPU
The CPU board is physically mounted to the Intrinsically safe barrier modules.
Intrinsically Safe Barrier Modules - The Intrinsically safe barrier modules provide protection to the
handle and pulser circuits located in the lower half of the dispenser in the hydraulic area. These circuits
are designed with fuses and zener diodes to prevent any potential energy from entering the hydraulic
area so that under no condition will there be enough energy to create an electrical “spark”. This way,
there can be no explosion if there are vapors. There is one ISB for side 1 and one for side 2. The boards
are identical. The fuses on these boards cannot be replaced in the field as a UL requirement. These
boards are covered with a metal cover to protect the circuits from an inadvertent short and the covers
should always be in place when the dispenser is in operation. The ISB’s do not have any discreet or
“smart” components. There are two ISB modules for a two sided dispe nser, they are identical and interchangeable.
Dual Phase Pulsers - Pacific pulsers are dual phase electronics pulsers that pulse at a rate o f 1024
pulses per gallon. These pulsers are physically mounted to the output shaft of the meter. As fuel flows
through the meter, the output shaft rotates and turns the pulser. Approximately 8 rotations of the meter
represents 1 gallon of fuel. The pulser is an optically coupled device and outputs 2 separate phases of
square wave pulses through a ribbon cable connection, in a daisy chain fashion whe re it con nects
through the “flame deck” to the ISB for that side. The pulsers operate off a regulated +5volt dc signal
that was created from a +12volt supply. When the valves are closed and there is no fuel flow, there
should be no pulses output from the pulser. The pulser only generates pulses a s it is turning. As it turns
and generates pulses, it sends these pulses to the CPU board through the ISB for that side. The CPU
counts the pulses and performs the mathematical computations to covert this information to a display
readout that shows the volume and it’s computed currency value on the main display. The CPU and the
pulser works in conjunction with one and another. For example, when the CPU receives it’s first 9
pulses, it opens up the proportional valves. At this point it is making sure that both phases are working. If
one of the phases of the pulser is not working, the dispenser will never come out of slow flow. Generally, a retail dispenser in fast flow puts out a maximum of 10-12 gallons per minute maximum due to
state and federal regulations. There is one pulser for every meter.
Error checking - The dual phase pulsers allow for error checking. One phase is used to check the
other. For example, after pumping 1 gallon of fuel the CPU should see approximately 1024 pulses from
each phase. There is a built in diagnostic where if the CPU sees more than 26 consecutive missing
pulses from one or the other of the phases it will stop the sale and post an error message on the display
of the side of the dispenser with the error. Also, on the blended product, if one or the other product going
into the mix is dispensing too slowly, an error will result. Errors are stored in a diagnostic history file and
any error that occurs can be cleared by removing and replacing the nozzle from the nozzle boot, or lifting and lowering the lever if it is set up in the Lever Option (see page G-8).
Nozzle Boot - Handle switches allow the system to know what product the customer wants to dispense
and signals the CPU to turn on the proper pump motor. The handle switch uses a magnetic proximity
switch to signal when the nozzle has been removed from the boot and the lever lifted. On the nozzle
boot there is a spring loaded lever. Attached to the lever is a magnetic. When the nozzle is removed
from the nozzle boot and the lever rises (auto on) or the lever is lifted (lift to start) it moves the magnet
away from the proximity switch on the handle circuit board. When this happens, the switch is opened
and sends a signal to the CPU. The CPU reads this signal and determines if it is handle A or B and then
turns on the appropriate relay to turn on the remote motor. When the handle is returned to the nozzle
boot this signals that the sale is complete and the CPU sends this information to the Point of Sale device
(if there is one). There is a handle switch for every nozzle boot.
Proportional Valve control - The CPU also controls the valves. The valves are there to control product flowing through a hose. They prevent the unauthorized dispensing from a ho se that isn’t authorized.
They are also used to slow down the flow towards the end of a pre-pay or preset sale. These proportional valve operates off +24 volts dc. The CPU pulses or “modulates” the valve with pulses based on
the rate of what is programmed in for the blend ratio through the dispenser programming. For example,
if the dispenser is set for a 60/40 blend, it will modulate the first product for a 60% mixture and the second product to produce 40%. It checks the output pulses of the respective meters to see if it is blending
properly or if it has to “modulate” one or the other valve more or less. If the mixture does not meet the
blend ratio setting within a programmable tolerance, then an error will result and the sale will stop. The
maximum blend ratio that can be set is 95/5 or 5/95. The error tolerance can be set from 1 % to 99 %.
We recommend setting this for 10%.
Outlet Manifold - The outlet manifold for the right hose contains a check valve for each product being
delivered. The same check valves are used here and in the inlet manifold. The left hose is only used for
the non-blended fuel which does not require a check valve.
System Memory - A +3.3 volt dc on board battery is provided on the CPU board for maintaining system programming in the Random Access Memory (RAM) during a power outage or anytime the system
is turned off. This battery is not replaceable. This battery is designed to outlast the longest of power outages.
System software - The dispenser “operating program” is provided by use of two 32 pin EPROMS.
These EPROMS determine the functions that are available on the dispenser.
Product Select - The product select board is where the customer can either press a “start” button or
select an octane or “grade” at the beginning of the fuel transaction. The product select is similar to a
standard keypad but is not a standard dry contact type keypad. Instead, the keys on this board are activated using the principle of capacitance. The customer removes the nozzle and makes either a grade
selection or presses a “start” key on the product select. The customer should hear a “beep” when pressing any key.
The product select is activated by human touch. There are diagnostics built in to test these keys on the
product select board. The product select is connected to the CPU by means of a wiring harness. This
wiring harness is also used for the CPU to send power and talk to other components such as the display
board and backlight board farther down the line.
The product select board includes the Price Per Volume Displays.
Main Display - The main display is used for the customer to view the currency and volume amount of
the sale. The display gets its information from the CPU through the product select board.
Electromechanical Totalizer Board - The dispenser is equipped with an Electro-mechanical totalizer
for each hose which records the volume dispensed for each sale. The volume recorded is an accumulative total that cannot be reset. The total is cumulative and reads in whole unit (gallon or liter) increments.
Main Display Backlighting Board - The dispenser does not use lights or ballasts. To light the display it
uses a backlight board using a series of 1.5 volt Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s). By using this type of
lighting it eliminates the need to replace burnt out light bulbs and ballasts. These LED’s are powered
from 24 volts it receives from the main display.
Local Preset Option - Another option that is available is the Local Preset. This option is generally for
attended fueling sites where the attendant can select the money or volume of the transaction. The dispenser stops at the preset amount. A receipt printer is available.
The local preset electronics is mounted the same place that the card reader would be mounted in the
dispenser electronics. Therefore, the local preset and the card reader system ca nnot co-exist in the
same dispenser.
The local preset is programmed using a standard PC ASCII keyboard with an OS2 connection. There
are 2 languages to choose from. You can also program receipt header/footer informatio n.
Normal fueling transaction at the dispenser - When a customer wants fuel they lift the nozzl e from
the nozzle boot. That signals the CPU that the customer wants fuel. They are then prompted by the display to select a grade or octane. Once the product is selected, and if the dispenser is in “stand alone”
the dispenser shows all 8888’s in the display (segment check) sends out the appropriate motor control
signal. If the dispenser is in “Console” control, it waits until authorization has been received from the
console. Then, the appropriate valve is opened after the programmed delay time expires for the leak
detectors. Fuel begins to flow.
Liquid flow through the dispenser - The dispenser sends a 120vac signal to the relay used to control
the submerged pump. As the signal energizes the coil it closes the contacts sending the proper voltage
to the motor. As the motor turns on it pressurizes the product line to approximately 28 P.S.I.
Once the product begins to flow it goes through the normally opened shear valve and enters the product
inlet of the dispenser (see figure A.1). From here, the product gets purified through the filter (see figure
A.2) and then passes the check valve (not present). The check valve is located in the same manifold as
the filter, on the opposite side.
Once it goes through the check valve it enters the meter (see figure A.3). When the product leaves the
meter the flow is controlled by the proportional valve (see figure A.4). If the blended grade is selected
then the CPU Board will modulate a 24vdc signal to both valves to create the blend ratio programmed in
the dispenser. From this point the product goes through a 3/4” steel tube (see figure A.5). The product
travels through this tube at approximately 10 - 12 G.P.M. up the side of the dispenser into the outlet
manifold. From here the product is dispensed through the hose and nozzle of the dispenser.
Product enters at the bottom inlet (see figure B.1) and fills the inner cavity of the meter. As the meter
body fills, product passes around the crankshaft and up to the top throat of the meter body. From the
top throat, product flows to the distributor (B.2) which either ports product “to” or “from” each of the four
piston chambers. When the distributor (see figure B.2) is in a position that allows product to be ported
“to” a piston chamber (see figure B.3), equal pressure is applied across both sides of the piston. Equal
pressure applied across a piston offers zero resistance to the crankshaft (see figure B.5) via the piston’s
connecting rod (see figure B.6). When the distributor (see figure B.2) is in a position that allows product
to be ported “from” a piston chamber (see figure B.4), there is greater product pressure applied to the
inside of the piston than to its outer side. The differential of pressure causes the piston to travel in an
outward direction. As the piston travels in an outward direction, product is ported to the meter’s top
collector and to its outlet. As a piston is forced in its outward direction, a rotational force is applied to the
crankshaft via the piston’s connecting rod. This rotational force of the crankshaft is then applied to
adjacent pistons, which offering zero resistance, allows them to be pulled in their inner direction easily.
This allows product from the distributor to fill the piston chamber. The above process is repeated by all
four pistons. A spring and pressurized countervalve (see figure B.7) employing a diaphragm imparts a
downward thrust on the rotating distributor to seal its surfaces and prevent internal leakages which
would result in unmeasured product being delivered.
The Power Distribution board is located in the center of the dispenser in the electronics cabinet. This board is covered by a
metal cover to protect anyone working inside the equipment from
receiving an electrical shock. This cover is removed for service. It
must also be replaced when service is complete.
WARNING - Always replace the metal cover when you have completed service. Failure to do so poses a potential for electrical
shock.
110– 230 Volts A.C. 50 or 60 cycle power comes into the dispenser through field wiring to the bottom of the Power Distribution
Board terminal strip (TS1) 1. Power then passes through a 3 amp
fuse and then is filtered for noise. Any electrical noise is dampened out by this filter FIL1. The power is then passed from the
Power Distribution Board to the Power Supply (through connector
J5) for Direct Current (D.C.) conversion.
Incoming A.C. voltage is also routed through fuse F1 (1 amp) for
submerged pump control. If power to the dispensers are “cross
phased” this fuse will blow to protect the dispenser from damage.
If this fuse blows, check for cross phasing. If a cross phasing
condition exists, correct the problem before attempting to replace
the fuse.
Power from the power distribution board comes into the Power
Supply assembly on connector J1. This power supply creates
various D.C. Voltages for use throughout the system. Specifically,
the power supply takes the 110– 230volt A.C. input to create the
following voltages:
1) +24 Volts DC
2) +12 Volts DC
3) +5 Volts DC
These voltages have tolerances of +/- 10%. There are no adjustments for any of these voltages but there are test points.
The DC voltages are fed back to the Power Distribution board
connector J4 through a multi-pin conductor connected to J2 of the
Power Supply.
Figure 1 - Power Distribution Board
with the protective cover on.
Figure 2 - Incoming power on terminal TS1 is line voltage. It passes thru
fuse protection and a easy “Off/On”
switch. Then it is filtered and sent
over to the power supply.
Figure 3 - DC voltages returns from
the power supply to the power distribution board on connector J4.
There is fuse protection on the Power Distribution Board for both
power coming into the system and also fuse protection for power
traveling internal to the system. From there the DC voltages are
sent over to the CPU board through another multi-pin conductor
from connector J1 of the Power Distribution Board to connector
J7 on the CPU board. From this point the voltages are distributed
to all other parts of the system.
Battery Backup— A separate rechargeable +12volt battery is
connected to the Power Distribution Board. When the dispenser
is in normal operation the battery is not used and is charged by
the +14 volt D.C. battery charging circuit located on the Power
Distribution Board. When main incoming power is removed from
the system or when the system incoming AC voltage drops below
74 volts AC, the CPU detects this and the dispenser goes into
“Power Fail” condition. At this point the battery supplies +12 volts
DC for 30 seconds to the system or unless the battery override
switch is closed. This battery over-ride switch allows the technician to eliminate the 30 second wait if he has to service the
equipment. The battery itself is connected at the factory but requires several hours to charge. This battery has nothing to do
with maintaining system programming in the event of a power
outage. Make sure the battery is connected because the battery
will eliminate the effect of momentary power sags thus making
the dispenser more reliable.
The Power distribution board has other functions as well. This
board houses four relays that are used to route incoming line voltage as Motor “Out” signals to turn on remote submerged pump
relays. These relays are controlled by +12 volt DC signals from
the CPU board. When the CPU board wants to turn on a submerged pump, it sends a +12 volt dc signal to the proper relay
turning it “On” and routing the line voltage the proper terminal on
the terminal strips located at the bottom of the Power Distribution
Board. This line voltage is connected to the STP relay inside the
building by field wiring. When the CPU wants to turn “Off” a motor, it removes the +12volt dc signal which opens that relay. In the
case of the blended product, more than one relay is activated at
one time.
Figure 4 - Pico fuses and standard
replaceable fuses are located in the
upper right of the Power Distribution
Board . Also, connector J1 sends
power over to the CPU.
Figure 5 - External battery for maintaining display after loss of primary
power. This battery is re-chargeable
and takes several hours to charge on
a brand new dispenser.
Figure 6 - Solid state relays provide
motor control for the STP’s or the
Self Contained Motors. +12volts DC
is used to turn them on.
Dispenser communication with a Point of Sale and Card Reader
communication is also routed through the power distribution
board. Dispenser communication comes in from the model 515
box to the power distribution board terminal strip TS5. This is the
current loop communication signal that passes through the Power
Distribution Board on connector J3 through a ribbon cable to the
CPU board connector J8.
Card reader communication also is routed through the power distribution board. Card reader information comes from the IC Box
through twisted pair wiring (3 wires) and connects to terminal strip
TS4. This is RS485 protocol. This information follows the same
path through the power distribution board as the dispenser communication, that is, it exits the power distribution board through
the same ribbon cable over to the CPU on connector J8.
Description of Power Control -
Warning - The only option that you have for removing power
from the dispenser is by turning off the S2 switch from the Power
Distribution Board.
• Switch 3 (S3)- Located on the bottom right hand side of the
board is the Battery Over-ride Switch. This switch can be
used to override the 30 second battery if primary power is lost
at the dispenser or if incoming power drops below 74 volts
A.C. This switch Stays in the up position by a spring. To
“kill” the power you must press down momentarily and then
release. Once the switch is closed and the display goes
blank remove your finger from the switch. See figure 8.

Figure 8 - S3 is a switch which is
normally opened. Always turn off the
battery when attempting to service
the Pacific dispenser.
PAD Jumpers - There are a series of PAD jumpers located be-
low the solid state relays. These PAD jumpers should not change
in the Pacific dispenser. If these PAD jumpers are not set correctly improper system operation will result and you may possibly
blow fuse F1. For proper operation connect the PAD jumpers as
follows:
For submerged pumps:
Product A - PAD 4 connected to T1
Product B - PAD 3 connected to T3
Product C - PAD 2 connected to T5
Product D - PAD 1 connected to T7
Relays - Relays are controlled with +12 volt D.C. control signals
from the CPU:
Relay K1 - Product A - LED D15
Relay K2 - Product B - LED D16
Relay K3 - Product C - LED D9
Relay K4 - Product D - LED D6
Note: Anytime you see a relay LED “lit” you can assume the relay
is “turned on”.
Figure 9 - PAD jumpers are set for
remote submerged pumps. They are
connected to the top row of pads.
Figure 10 - Do Not Change the PAD
jumper. This is for Self Contained
pumps, which is Not an option with
the Pacific dispenser.
Figure 11 - LED “Lit” means the CPU
is telling the relay to turn on.
Fuses - A series of fuses are located on the Power Distribution Board. There are two types, standard
and Pico. The standard fuses are located in standard fuse mounts whereas the Pico fuses are soldered
onto the board. The fuses are used as follows:
Standard Fuses
F1 - 3 amp standard blow for system power
F2 - 1 amp standard blow for submerged pump control
F3 - 1 amp for battery charging circuit.
Pico Fuses -
F4 - F5 - (3.25 amp) +24 volt D.C. circuit side 1 and side 2
F6 - (3.25 amp) +14 volt D.C. battery charging circuit
F7 - (3.25 amp) +12 volt D.C. circuit side 1 and side 2
F8 - (3.25 amp) +5 volt D.C. logic power
Note - Contact Technical Support before replacing a Pico fuse.
Light Emitting Diodes - There are several LED’s located on this board. They are described as follows:
LED D15 - Motor “A” power. If illuminated means the solid state relay for the “A” submerged
pump motor is energized.
LED D12 - Motor “B” power. If illuminated means the solid state relay for the “B” submerged
pump motor is energized.
LED D 9 - Motor “C” power. If illuminated means the solid state relay for the “C” submerged
pump motor is energized.
LED D 6 - Motor “D” power. If illuminated means the solid state relay for the “D” submerged
pump motor is energized.
LED D 7 - Recall. If illuminated means that the Recall button has been activated.
LED D14 - Power Fail. If illuminated means that the system has lost primary power or that in-
coming power has dropped below 75 volts A.C.
System Battery (P/N 105908)- A +12 volt rechargeable battery is supplied with the dispenser. The bat-
tery has a charging circuit and must be charged for several hours before it has a full charge. The battery
is used to supply DC voltage (+12volt D.C.) to the dispenser if the dispenser looses primary power or if
primary power drops below 75 volts D.C. The battery, when in use, provides power for 30 seconds and
then times out. The battery override switch is located on the right hand side of the Power Distribution
board. It is used to bypass the 30 second battery “On” time. If the system is on battery and you want to
override it, push down on switch F1. It will disconnect the battery circuit. Note - Always make sure the
battery has been bypassed when servicing the equipment.
Powering down the dispenser for Service - To remove power from the dispenser for service follow
this procedure - Power down the dispenser by turning off S2 from the Power Distribution board. The
display lights should go off and a message on the display should read “PFAIL”. This message will blink
for 30 seconds OR until the battery override switch is closed (S3 on the Power Distribution Board).
Turning the dispenser back on - Turn on S2 from the Power Distribution Board.
Note
: Always replace the metal cover for the Power Distribution Board after finishing your service work.
This will help protect any un-trained store personnel from voltages if they open the electronic head of the
dispenser.
When taking voltage readings it is important to have a good voltage “reference”. Without a good reference, the voltage reading
that you measure may be wrong. There is a difference between
an AC voltage reference and a DC voltage reference.
AC Voltage reference - When measuring an A.C. voltage the
best voltage reference that you can use is the incoming ground
wire connected to terminal one on TS1 on the lower left edge of
the Power Distribution Board on side 1 of the dispenser (see figure 12).
DC Voltage reference - When measuring D.C. Voltages rather
than looking to hook your test lead up to a board component, a
good place to put your black lead on any black wire connection
on the multi-pin, multi-colored connector J3 on the upper right
side of the Power Distribution Board.
Voltage Tolerances - When taking voltage readings the (+/-) tolerance of any reading is (+/-) 5%. There are no adjustments that
can be made on any voltages from the Power Supply. If the voltage is out of range, replace the power supply.
Measuring fuses - There are two ways to see if a fuse is good.
Either visually or by measuring it using a multi meter. To measure
the fuse put your meter on the “ohms” scale or “continuity”. If the
fuse is good you should hear a “beep” when you put your leads
across the fuse. This means the fuse is good. If it reads anything
other than 0 ohms or “continuity” the fuse is probably bad and
needs to be replaced. This test works for replaceable fuses and
Pico fuses as well.
Note: Always measure fuses with the dispenser power off.
Note: When replacing a fuse always replace with the same type
and size. The rating of the fuse is written on the fuse. If in doubt
about the rating of any fuse in the system call Bennett Technical
Support.
Figure 12 – Using incoming ground
for measuring AC voltages.
Important voltage tests - A couple of important voltage tests
that our Technical Support Department may want to have you
check are as follows:
Incoming power - Measure for A.C. Voltage between terminal 3
and terminal 2 (Hot to Neutral). The measurement should be recorded before calling Technical Support (see figure 13).
Also measure between the ground and the neutral with your meter on the A.C. scale. You should see approximately zero volts
(see figure 14).
Neutral to Ground - Also, an important reading is to make sure
that the resistance from the neutral to the ground is less than 1
ohm. Take this measurement with the multi-meter on the ohms
scale and with the field wires disconnected from the board. Notice that the field wires connect to quick “disconnect” type terminals (see figure 15).
Note: Make sure the dispenser power circuit (Breaker Panel) has
been turned “off” before taking this measurement.
It is important to mark this measurement down on your Audit Report for each installation.
Figure 13 - This example shows
measuring incoming power of 120
volts A.C. to the dispenser.
Figure 14 - Measuring for “stray”
voltage between Neutral and
Ground. Should be zero volts.
Figure 15 - With the field wires disconnected from the board measure
the resistance between neutral and
ground. It should be 1 ohm or less.
This means that the neutral and the
ground are at the same potential.

Power Supply Assembly Theory of Operation -
AC power 110– 230 volts AC 50/60 cycle comes from the Power Distribution board on Power Supply
Assembly connector J1.
The purpose of the power supply is to take incoming AC and convert it to various DC voltages for use
throughout the system. After creating these voltages it sends them to the Power Distribution Board for
distribution throughout the system. The DC voltages created are:
• +24 volts DC for use with the valves, the receipt printer power, the display and the backlighting
• +12 volts DC for use with the Product select board, Card Reader power, Pulser and Handle circuitry
and the solid state relays.
• +5 volts DC for the CPU logic voltage.
Description of Controls - There are no controls on the Power Supply Assembly
LED’s - There are no LED’s on this assembly
Fuses - There are no fuses on this assembly
Voltage Adjustments - There are no voltage adjustments on this assembly. If the output voltages are
not within (+/-) 10% of the rated voltage, replace the power supply.
Taking voltage readings (Continued)— Next, you can measure power from the Power Distribution
Board to the CPU board. You can measure using the same technique.
Note - Color Coding - In the 708 electronics, most of the voltages and wires are color coded, but not
always. In most cases the colors are as follows Orange- +24 Volts DC
Red - 12 Volts DC
Violet - +5 Volts DC
Black - DC Common
With the dispenser power on locate connector J1 on the top right (vertical) of the Power Distribution
Board.
+24 volts - Putting your black (negative) lead on any of the black wires and your red (positive) lead on
either of the orange wires, measure for +24 volts dc. There are 2 orange wires, one for side 1 and one
for side 2. Both should have +24 volts (+/- 5%).
+14 volts - Putting your black (negative) lead on any of the black wires and your red (positive) lead on
either of the yellow wires, measure for +14 volts dc. There are 2 yellow wires, one for side 1 and one for
side 2. Both should have +14 volts (+/- 5%).
+12 volts - Putting your black (negative) lead on any of the black wires and your red (positive) lead on
either of the red wires, measure for +12 volts dc. There are 2 red wires, one for side 1 and one for side
2. Both should have +12 volts (+/- 5%).
+5 volts - Putting your black (negative) lead on any of the black wires and your red (positive) lead on the
violet wire, measure for +5 volts dc. There is 1 violet wire. It should read +5 volts (+/- 5%).
If any of these voltages are out of range, you may experience erratic performance and it may be necessary to replace the Power Supply. Call Technical Support for assistance 1-800-423-6638.
Theory of Operation— The CPU board is the heart of the sys-
tem. It runs the software, has the memory, communicates with
Point of Sale, sends control signals to the solid state relays,
sends display signals to the display boards, communicates with
the touch pad, interfaces with the handles and pulsers through
the Intrinsically Safe Barrier Boards, controls the blend valves
through a wiring harness. It performs the blending functions, and
stores historical data for sales and diagnostics. It receives power
from the Power Distribution Board and also routes power to the
card reader system. It also communicates with and sends and
receives signals from the Vapor Recovery system. It also contains backup battery for maintaining programming in the RAM
during power outages.
There is one CPU board per dispenser. The CPU board is
mounted vertically and has various cables and harnesses connected to it.
The CPU board receives dc voltages from the power distribution
board on connector J7. The wiring harness is color coded and
uses the following color scheme:
1) Orange - +24vdc - Valve, printer, display and backlighting
5) Violet - +5vdc - System logic voltage used by the CPU
The CPU board is physically mounted to the Intrinsically safe barrier modules. The CPU must be removed to remove either of the
Intrinsically Safe Barriers.
