Installation Quotation Guide

(For Quotation Use Only - Do Not Install From This Guide)

This document is provided as a guide for quoting the installation of a CFN Islander system. Component location, power, wiring, and
conduit requirements can be calculated from this guide. The CFN Islander Installation Manual (not this guide!) should be used for the
actual instal lation of th e s ystem . GASBOY will not be responsible for installations performed from this guide.

RS-485 Junction Box

Provides a means for hard-wire connections and incorporates
protection cir cuitry to prevent electr ostatic surges (which may
occur on the field wiring) from reaching the Islander.

Power Conditioner

Provides clean power to the Islander. Provides transient and
common mode protection.

Pump Control Units

Required for mechanical pumps and some electronic pumps.
Micr opr ocess or con tr oll ed. On e unit con tr ol s up to fou r fue lin g
positions (up to 8 fueling positions in self-contained unit) to a
maximum of 32. Certain applications may require peripheral
pump control units. Battery-backup, three solid state relays for
each pump/dispenser, manual override switches. Wall-mounted
or accommodated in island reade r pedestal.

Electronic Pump/Dispenser Interfaces

Certain pump interfaces use controller boxes or special interface
devices. When installing any electronic pumps or registers,
follow the manufacturer's specifications. GASBOY 9800 Series
electronic pumps and dispensers can be connected to the
Islander via the RS-485 data loop. A Current Loop interface is
available from GASBOY and is required for Gilbarco electronic
pumps. For Islander II, Tokheim and Wayne use a controller
box to control the pumps. The CFN system interfaces with this
control box.

CONDUIT INSTALLATION SPECIFICA TIONS

1. All wiring is to be installed a nd u s ed in accordance with a ll
building/fire codes, all Federal, State, and Local codes,
National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, and
Automotive and Mar ine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A)
codes and regulations. Canadian users must also comply
with the Canadian Electrical Code.

2. All peripheral equipment connected to the RS-232 ports
must be UL-Listed, have an Electronics Industrial
Association (EIA) standard RS-232 communications
protocol and not be installed over a hazardous location.

3. Power for the system components, data terminal, and
modem must come from a separate dedicated circuit
breaker rated at no less than 10 AMPS.

4. All wir ing conn ecting th e compon ents of th e CFN system
and all communication equipment signal wires must be
installed in threaded, rigid, metal conduit. PVC is not
acceptable.

5. All condu it must be run undergroun d, not ove rhead.

6. High voltage AC power wires must be installed in separate
conduit from the low voltage DC signal wires; they cannot
be run in any comm on con duit or trough, except a s not ed
in Communication Wiring and Optional Modem
Requirements.

7. Use the Wire Size Char t to determine the wire gauge.

communication wires must be in a metal conduit separate
from any AC wires .

10. For communication distances from 100 to 1500 feet, use a
GASBOY RS-422 Short Haul Modem. See the Optional
Modem Requirements section of this document for specific
RS-422 guidelines and restrictions.

11. In submersible applications, starter relays are always
recommended; however, the system can directly drive
motors up to 3/4 HP at 120/240 VAC or 1-1/2 HP at 240
VAC.

12. Suction pumps over 3/4 HP at 120/240 VAC or 1-1/2 HP
at 240 VAC must use a starter relay. Wire the starter relay
in place of the motor in the applicable pump wiring
drawing.

13. When u sing a receipt printer or p ump control un it post, a
minimum distance of 18 inches must be maintained
between the Islander post and any of the pumps/dispensers.

14. Disr egar d th e s ubmer si ble p um p in the dr a wing if th e hose
outlets are suction pumps.

15. See the Communicati on Wir ing and Pulser Wiring sections
