Important Considerations for DEF DispensersPreparing to Service Units
4 – Preparing to Service Units
This chapter provides instructions for collecting information on any unit-related problems that
a Gilbarco-trained Authorized Service Contractor (ASC) or Customer Specified Contractor
(CSC) will require for servicing. Providing complete information can shorten the time
ASCs/CSCs spend troubleshooting the problem and enable them to have the correct parts
required for service.
WARNING
Do not attempt to service an Encore or Eclipse pump/dispenser yourself without special,
qualified training. Servicing an Encore or Eclipse pump/dispenser incorrectly could result in
severe injury or death. Only Gilbarco-trained ASCs/CSCs must service an Encore or
Eclipse pump/dispenser.
WARNING
Do not make unapproved modifications to Gilbarco equipment. Doing so could result in
improper equipment operation and violation of state and local codes, and could also create
a safety hazard. Consult your ASC/CSC, distributor, or Gilbarco for approved modifications
and kits.
Important Considerations for DEF Dispensers
CAUTION
Applicable during Installation and Operation of the Dispenser: DEF freezes at approximate ly
-11.5 °C (11 °F). Power to the dispenser and heater must always remain ON in cold weather. If
power is lost and the temperature drops below this point, the system must be inspected for freeze
damage before restart. For sites that experience occasional power losses or for sites that are
located in very cold climates, it is recommended that a backup power generator be used to
maintain constant power to the dispenser. Do not use any additives to lower the freezing point of
DEF. Additives of any type must not be used in DEF. Freezing can cause damaged or inoperative
hose breakaways, fluid lines or components, valves, nozzles and meters.
Prolonged storage at temperatures above 25 °C (77 °F) can impair the quality of DEF and reduce
its shelf life.
CAUTION
DEF is mildly corrosive. It can corrode components that are made from incompatible materials and
reduce their integrity. The use of incompatible materials may lead to leaks and spills, and can
contaminate and degrade the DEF. When dispensing DEF, verify with the manufacturer if the
material of all plumbing components are compatible with the DEF being dispensed.
MDE-3893P Encore® and Eclipse® Series Owner’s Manual · December 2011Page 21
Preparing to Service UnitsImportant Considerations for Units with Ecometers
CAUTION
Do not use Prover Cans meant for engine fuel with DEF or vice versa. Use stainless steel Prover
Cans for DEF. DEF and engine fuel must not be mixed with each other or contaminated by each
other. Else, damage to a vehicle’s engine or pollution control devices could occur. DEF crystallizes
as its water base evaporates. Pouring out liquid will not guarantee that no corrosive DEF remains
in the Prover Can. DEF must not be contaminated with Diesel fuel, contaminants, or other fluids or
materials. Such contamination can cause serious damage to vehicle catalytic converters.
• Conventional fluid handling precautions are also applicable to DEF.
• DEF is non-flammable and not explosive.
• When exposed to air, the water in DEF will evaporate and result in development of urea
crystals. Crystals may be fine and sharp. They will dissolve in water
• Clean any DEF spill with water and dry the area with clean rags, especially areas that
contain metallic parts. Ensure that spilled DEF does not re-enter the tank. Spilled DEF can
be slippery and will corrode metallic parts. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves during
any cleanup activity.
• DEF can be returned to the storage tank only if it is not contaminated. Contaminated DEF
must be disposed off in an environmentally safe manner. Do not dump DEF in storm
sewers or any location where the fluid or its constituents may enter a waterway.
• DEF is much heavier than fuels such as gasoline. Be careful to avoid injury when lifting
heavier Prover Cans, by using proper safe lifting techniques.
WARNING
When stored at temperatures above 37 °C (100 °F), DEF may break down into ammonia.
Ensure that you avoid inhaling any toxic ammonia vapors when opening cabinets, tank
vaults, or other areas where DEF may have leaked or been spilled.
WARNING
DEF can cause serious eye injury if sprayed in the eyes or may affect those with sensitive
skin. Wear protective gloves and eye protection as required. Flush eyes immediately with
water, if sprayed.
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Important Considerations for Units with Ecometers
Units must always use the M008007B010 (gasoline) or M08007B030 (diesel) filter
®
manufactured by PetroClear
To maintain warranty, the unit requires use of a special filter type as mentioned above. It
potentially allows lesser contaminant to pass through it during normal unit operation as
compared to other filters and prevents nozzles from snapping shut. The filter has a standard
mounting and is similar in cost to current filters. The filter contains a slightly higher load
spring. In addition, it has improved internal sealing. The filter will also potentially improve the
reliability of other hydraulic devices in the dispenser such as valves.

Important Considerations When Changin g Fuel TypesPreparing to Service Units
Important Considerations When Changing Fuel Types
WARNING
Certain special alternative fuels such as E85 and additives can degrade pump/dispenser
performance or integrity if the dispensers are not designed for use with such fu els.
Additionally, converting to certain standard fuels (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and so on)
from alternative fuels such as those with ethanol (E85), methanol, or Biodiesel or from
alternative fuels to standard fuels can degrade dispenser performance or integrity. Similar
effects can also occur when converting units to different standard fuel types. As per
UL 87A requirements, units dispensing E85 fuel must not be used to dispense any
other type of fuel such as Gasoline.
Leaks and potential environmental hazards can result or components may fail prematurely.
To avoid these issues, follow the guidelines as described in this section.
Follow the guidelines given below when changing fuel types for a pump/dispenser or using
alternative fuels or fluids:
1 Verify with your Gilbarco ASC or Distributor if the fuel that you will use is compatible with
the pumps/dispensers that dispense the fuel.
2 For Flexible Fuel (FF) dispensers, do not use standard hydraulic parts used in other Gilbarco
pumps/dispensers in these units. Standard dispenser parts may not be compatible with the
fluids.
3 Biodiesel fuels must be to ASTM standards for Biodiesel fuels. Mixes of diesel with cooking
oils, other plant or animal derived oils, and so on are not considered Biodiesel. Use of such
mixes may void warranty on the hydraulic components of the un it.
4 Review the latest copy of the unit’s warranty statement regarding use of the fuel.
5 Certain fuels (especially fuels enhanced with alcohol) when first used in tanks previously
containing a different fuel may clean out the tanks and force a large amount of contaminant
into the dispenser. Apart from abnormally clogging filters, this large quantity of contaminant
may damage certain dispenser components. Do not run units without filters at such times. It is
normally required that tanks and lines be cleaned of all water, sediment and contaminant
before such conversions, to minimize potential unit downtime or damage. Damage to
hydraulic components from contamination when not using filters is not covered by warranty.
Consult your ASC or Gilbarco Distributor for recommendations.
6 Do not use any equipment that was formerly used to store or dispense any other fuel or liquid
with DEF. Dispensers designed for use with DEF must only be used with DEF.
7 Although conversions from one fuel to an equivalent fuel (say from another supplier)
generally do not create issues, it is recommended that after making any fuel type conversions
(including those to alternative fuels such as E85 or back), all units be visually inspected for
leaks two days, one week, and one month after fuel conversion. Have your ASC repair any
leaks found. This must be done also for standard fuels when significant new additives are
incorporated.
Note: This does not apply to Flexible Fuel model dispenser s.
MDE-3893P Encore® and Eclipse® Series Owner’s Manual · December 2011Page 23
Preparing to Service UnitsDispensing Gasoline/Ethanol Blends
8 It is recommended that whenever making non-equivalent fuel conversions, all units be
checked for calibration within one month after the fuel conversion.
9 Some non-equivalent fuel conversions must change the pump/dispenser filter type previously
used. For any changes required, consult your ASC or Gilbarco Distributor.
Dispensing Gasoline/Ethanol Blends
The blending option provided on these dispensers is intended for the blending of
Gasoline/ethanol blends designated as E85 with gasoline or gasohol (E10 maximum) to
achieve an intermediate gasoline/ethanol blend.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Standard gasoline or Gasohol (E10 maximum) must not be dispensed through the
same hose as that used for dispensing higher ethanol blend fuels (E11 to E85).
Important Requirements for E85 Units
The following equipment and materials are required to properly service the E85 units:

Call Gilbarco FirstPreparing to Service Units
Call Gilbarco First
Before calling an ASC/CSC, call the Gilbarco Help Desk at 1-800-800-7498. The Help Desk
may be able to resolve the issue for you.
Service Preparation
Use an ASC/CSC to efficiently service and maintain your Encore and Eclipse units. Gilbarco
trains and certifies ASCs/CSCs to service and maintain Encore and Eclipse units in a safe
manner. Warranty service must be performed by an ASC/CSC only.
Before Making a Service Call
Before you make a service call, perform the following tasks:
• Obtain complete information from station personnel about the problem. Provide any
history that may help (whether the unit has a recurring problem, or the problem has been
observed for the first time, and so on).
• M ention the associated hose number(s) along with the problem.
• Confirm that the tank has fuel.
• Confirm that the power, pump lights, and circuit breakers are on.
• For electronic units, write down and report any error codes displayed.
Note: For information on recording and clearing error codes, refer to “Error Codes” on
page 29.
Description of the Problem
Provide the ASC/CSC with a complete and accurate description of the problem, including all
symptoms and error codes. Ensure that you give the service personnel as complete and
accurate information as possible. It will help ensure faster and potentially less costly repairs
and keep downtime costs to a minimum.
Warranty Service
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All warranty service must be performed by an ASC/CSC. Failure to use an ASC/CSC
to perform warranty service could result in loss of warranty coverage.
Station Security
In any manufacturer’s unit, it may be impossible, even with a detailed security arrangement,
to stop a knowledgeable, unobserved, and experienced thief. It is possible to reduce the
probability of a theft attempt, if security measures are designed into the station layout and
security-minded actions are planned into the site’ s operation. The following recommendations
are intended to decrease the probability of theft by observance and/or incorporating obstacles
that deter criminal activity.
MDE-3893P Encore® and Eclipse® Series Owner’s Manual · December 2011Page 25
Preparing to Service UnitsStation Security
Enhancing Security
To enhance security, proceed as follows:
1 Design stations where employees have full, unobstructed view of all fueling locations. Do not
block employee view with merchandise displays or other obstructions. If full view is not
possible, utilize video surveillance equipment. Equipment monitoring must be made obvious
and signs stating their use must be posted.
2 Enter new programming access code, as default codes are commonly known. Only trusted
station employees and involved ASCs/CSCs must know these codes. Store the codes in a safe
and secure location known to all station management personnel. Unit service can be costlier , if
these codes are lost.
3 Use unit security kits when available. For areas subject to high risk of theft, consider the
additional security of special keys/locks to replace the standard locks. Such keys and locks can
be obtained from local locksmiths. This enhancement is extremely effective in preventing theft
modes using the keypad with the additional benefits of preventing potential tampering with
other dispenser devices.
4 Remove the keypads from the units and store them in the station or other safe locations. The
keypads must be accessible to station management or service people when required. A sign out
system can be used to track who last used the keypad.
5 Suggest that the station monitor “pump total” and “station total” reports comparatively. Theft
can be noted as fuel dispensed will still be recorded in “pump totals” (although not in “station
totals”), if a thief use the Manager’s Keypad. When this will not prevent the theft that has
already occurred, it will alert the station as to whether security measures are working or must
be applied.
6 Plan to use modular programming “time-out” functions that shut down the unit if no pulser
activity occurs for a preselected time. Consult your ASC and determine if there is any optional
software that can be used on your units to enhance security.
7 Remind station personnel to be alert to any unit off-line message at the POS, accompanied by
suspicious activity at the pump/dispenser.
8 Plan to provide periodic/frequent inspection of equipment security provisions to verify their
integrity.
9 At installation and thereafter, ensure that lower door levers are adjusted correctly and do not
allow the panels to be removed easily without a key or tool. If you suspect that keys are
available to thieves in your area, consider using special locks and keys available from
locksmiths.
10 Be alert to dispensers being “off-line” or equivalent at the POS. Fuel theft could be occurring
especially if the customer is pumping fuel.
11 For units left powered during off hours, ensure that power to the Submersible Turbine Pumps
(STPs) is turned off.

Additional Security in Encore S Series UnitsPreparing to Service Units
Additional Security in Encore S Series Units
The Encore S series units have been designed with security in mind to prevent/minimize the
probability of fuel theft.
In addition to security features that have been built into the Encore units so far, such as the
CIM, lower panel locks and keys, and the Personal Identification Number (PIN) code-secured
Manager Keypad, the Encore S series unit comes with the following additional security
features:
• A separate printer door (with a lock) that restricts access to the inside of the unit.
• A security latch that may be used to secure the lower part of the main door (bezel). See
Figure 4-1 on page 28.
• An improved design that does not enable a person to open the main door without first
removing the lower panel door.
• An option to install hinge sensors that will send an alert to the POS whenever the
main/lower panel doors are opened.
To optimally utilize the additional security features installed in the Encore S series units,
proceed as follows:
1 Close and lock the main door, using the main door lock located to the left of the main door. T o
identify the location of the lock, see
Notes: 1) When closing the main door, remember to push inward and then lock the door to
ensure that the inner lining is sealed to prevent rain water from seeping into the
main door.
2) If you do not close the main door properly, you will have problems when removing or
reinstalling the lower panel door.
2 Place the security latch in the locked position.
Note: You may use a padlock (optional) to secure the latch.

Notes: 1) If you suspect that the main/printer/lower panel door key’s security has been
compromised, consider purchasing replacement locks for the units from Hudson
Lock Inc. (www.hudsonlock.com). Ordering directly from the lock supplier will
ensure a strict control over the distribution of locks and keys, eliminating the
possibility of keys being taken or copied through the traditional distribution
channels. Hudson Lock can provide specific pricing and lead-time information
based on the requirements. You may contact Hudson Lock at 1-800-434-8960.
2) ASCs must be aware of any lock changes or added locks in order to service the unit.
The keys must be available to the ASCs.
Important Installation Information
To ensure that your equipment provides safe and reliable operation, verify the following:
• Hose breakaways for drive-off protection must be installed. For breakaways to properly
function, the pumps must be anchored to the island with bolts.
• Dispensers and some self-contained pumps must use Shear Valves. Refer to the local and
state codes.
• Proper operating and safety warning signs must be used at the station. Refer to the local
and state codes and consult the oil company.
• Station emergency stop buttons must be used. Refer to the state and local codes.
• Isolation relays must be used with dispensers. Refer to the national, state, and local codes.
• S hear Valve linkage must be free of obstructions so that the valve can close properly
during a fire or accident.
• Ensure that the installers follow all other requirements and recommendations in
MDE-3802 Encore & Eclipse Site Prep Manual, MDE-3985 Encore Installation Manual,
and MDE-3986 Eclipse Installation Manual.

Additional Security in Encore S Series UnitsPreparing to Service Units
Unit Commissioning
Unit commissioning is a valuable service included in the purchase price of most dispensers.
During commissioning, the ASC/CSC inspects and verifies if the units have been properly
installed and operate as intended. Some unit training is also given to stati on employees as part
of the process. You must ensure that the units are commissioned shortly after installation.
Improper installation can void warranty or result in poor unit performance.
Error Codes
If an error or malfunction occurs, the LCD on the main display may flas h and alternately
display the error code and the normal readout. Some error codes can appear at the PPU. These
must not be confused with numbers that may flash when power is first applied to the unit.
These numbers represent software versions and other similar information, and are not error
codes.
Recording Error Codes
Error codes provide an excellent service and troubleshooting tool for ASCs/CSCs and will
ensure that the ASC/CSC brings the correct part to the site for a quick repair. Record all error
codes and provide the list to your ASC/CSC. The ASC/CSC uses these codes to diagnose and
repair unit problems, which results in less down time.
Clearing Error Codes
In some cases, you can permanently clear error codes from the unit. To clear an error code,
proceed as follows:
1 For EC 44 - pump handle on at power up, replace handle, power down, and then power up.
One instance of this error code does not normally require a service call.
2 If the error code still appears, power down the unit, wait for one minute, and then restore
power using the station circuit breaker.
3 If the error code still appears or reappears at a later time, record the error code and call your
ASC/CSC for assistance.
Replacement Parts
Use only genuine Gilbarco replacement parts and retrofit kits on your unit.
Only use Gilbarco replacement parts and retrofit kits. Non-Gilbarco replacement parts may
create safety hazards and violate local regulations.
Gilbarco replacement parts are required to maintain warranty.
