1-3.1. CFN PLUS System
CFN PLUS is an innovative product that enables refueling in Home Base gas stations for fleets
authorized vehicles or drivers. CFN PLUS electronically locks all dispensers and pumps thereby
ensuring that only appropriately authorized vehicles and plants receive the required fuel. The
system also ensures accurate recording of each transaction (see Figure 1-2).
The heart of the Home Base Station solution is the SiteOmat automation software. SiteOmat runs
on an embedded operating system on the OrCU (Orpak Controller Unit). OrCU is an embedded
hardware platform designed to survive the harsh gas station environment. It uses a solid state Flash
disk and RTC (Real Time Clock) with back-up, along with surge suppressors for transient and noise
immunity. The system also includes power fail recovery mechanisms.
1-3.2. Vehicle Identification - FuelPoint PLUS
Vehicle Identification is an important option for maximal control and savings on fuel expenditure.
The dispenser is authorized to refuel after a positive identification of the vehicle and only while the
nozzle is inside the fuel inlet of the identified vehicle. All transaction information is automatically
recorded. A combined vehicle and driver identification is also possible for tight tracking.
1-3.3. Remote Web Access
Remote Web-based capabilities for monitoring, management and maintenance are available. A
standard PC with Internet Browser (Explorer) is used for management of the site either locally or
remotely (secured). There is no need for special management software; thanks to the built-in Web
server technology integrated into the station controller and a large variety of communication links is
supported – both wired and wireless.
1-3.4. Head Office
Centralized management is provided by the optional Fleet and Fuel Head Office server. The Fleet
and fuel Head Office consolidates the data from multiple sites and generates reports, including
exception reports. It also enables control of the limits and restrictions placed on the various fleet
vehicles. Furthermore, authorized fleet personnel are able to log-in remotely and are always in
control. Head office enables authorized users to control and manage wet stock inventory on all
stations including orders, deliveries and reports.
1-3.5. Restrictions and Limits
Control of a fleet’s fuel expenses can be maximized by defining limits (day, week, month),
maximum number of refueling (day, week, month) and setting restrictions (days of the week, fuel
type, stations, time intervals). In case of system configuration for multiple sites, the centralized
Fleet Head Office needs to synchronize the data between all sites so that the limits can be applied to
a whole system rather than to an individual site. In case of communication failure, the specific site
will be able to refuel for a predefined grace period (parameter) using the most recent limits stored in
its database.

1-3.7. System Workflow - Example
Follows an example of an operational workflow for self-service at the Home Base Station:
1-3.7.1. Refueling Scenario with FuelPoint PLUS
A motorist stops for fuel at the station. His authorization device for the fueling transaction is a
vehicle identification unit (FuelPoint PLUS) mounted in his car. The client lifts the nozzle and
inserts it in the car fuel inlet.
The FuelPoint PLUS information is automatically read and sent to the Site Controller (CFN
PLUS) for authentication and approval. Upon approval, the fueling transaction starts, once the
refueling is completed, the motorist replaces the nozzle back to the pump. At the end of the
process the transaction data is kept internally and transferred to the Fuel Head Office (FHO) for
future billing.

2-7.3. Connecting the Power Equipment
Proceed as follows:
• External Mains o Connect Mains power to the Mains Circuit Control Box (MCC)
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) o Connect the MCC to the UPS.
• If any doubt concerning grounding arises, ask for a ground test performed by a qualified
electrician.
2-7.4. AC Power Supply Setup
CFN PLUS can be fed either 110 VAC or 220 VAC. The Mains cable is first connected to the
terminal block. Between the terminal block and transformer the system uses a Line Filter in order to
attenuate conducted radio frequencies - RFI, electromagnetic interference (EMI) - between the line
and the equipment (see Figure 2-8). AC power is then supplied to an AC/AC High to Low
Transformer – 110/220 VAC to 25 VAC. The transformer requires jumpers' setup for either 110
VAC or 220 VAC Mains input, as shown in Figure 2-9. A settings label is also found on top of the
transformer.

CFN PLUS Manual
WWAARRNNIINNGG
CFN PLUS is shipped configured for 110 VAC
Mains power supply. Take care to set it accordingly
to your local Mains power supply specifications.
Failure to do so may result in damages.
Figure 2-9 VAC Power Supply – Jumpers Setup
2-7.5. Grounding
Proper system grounding is an extremely important part of the system installation. As with the AC
power, the grounds for all system components should return to the same circuit breaker panel. This
helps you assure a common ground throughout the system, necessary for protection of the RS-485
data loop circuitry. Ground for all system devices should be wired to the breaker panel ground bus
bar, which in turn should be grounded to a ground rod. A conduit ground does not provide sufficient
ground. It is recommended that the neutral and ground bus bars be bonded together when it is not
prohibited by local codes.
See Figure 2-6 and Figure 2-7 for grounding requirement diagrams of station with mechanical
pump and with electronic pump, accordingly.
CFN PLUS includes several grounding studs (see Figure 2-8) in order to comply with the earthing
requirements. The Mains power ground wire should be attached to the stud close to the Line Filter.
CFN PLUS is capable of directly driving pump motors up to 3/4 HP at 115 VAC or 1-1/2 HP at 230
VAC. A separate circuit breaker should be supplied for each dispenser. Wire the pump as follows:
• Wire one Mains AC cable from the UPS-MCC to the pump enclosure, for electronic pump
head.
• For an electronic pump, wire RS485 / Current Loop / Tokheim communication cable from
the CFN PLUS to the pump head.
• Wire one 0.4" (10 mm) ground cable from the Mains ground connection to the pump
chassis.
• The communication cable shield must be connected to ground at one end-side only,
preferably at the controller installation side (see Figure 2-10).
• For mechanical pumps, wire the control cable, in-use cable, pulser cable and cable
according to Table 2-2.
