INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The GASBOY Fuel Point Dispenser and Hose Retrofit Installation Manual is provided to assist you
in installing the Listed dispenser retrofit kits for the Fuel Point system on your pumps. This manual
should be supplied to the installer prior to installation to ensure your components are installed
properly. Faulty installations are the major cause of system malfunctions. The system
components must be installed as described in this manual to ensure the reliability and proper
operation of the system. Please read this entire manual before starting installation.
GASBOY provides a toll-free number for customers and installer s having any questions pertaining
to the installation: 1-800-444-5529
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Fuel Point adapts to Listed GASBOY fuel management systems for hassle-fr ee fueling. System
applications determine actual components required. Your system may consist of several or all of
the following components:
• a GASBOY fuel management system (FMS) (Listed models 1000, 1000P, or 2000S CFN)
• Fuel Point Reader (FPR)
• Pumps/dispensers modified using Listed Dispenser and Hose Retrofit Kits (consisting of I/S
Pre-amp and one or two kits)
• Vehicles equipped with materials from Vehicle Installation Kits (See Manual C35699)
• Vehicle Module(s) (VM’s)
03/28/03 1-1

GASBOY Fuel Point System
FUELING SEQUENCE
Fueling a vehicle with a Fuel Point Vehicle Module (VM) is accomplished as follows:
1. Insert nozzle into vehicle tank. Vehicle ID, fuel control and odometer/hour data is
automatically transmitted from the VM via nozzle (N-Ring) and tank (T-Ring) antennas to the
Fuel Point Reader (FPR).
2. FPR communicates with the Fuel Management System (FMS) CFN or 1000 FleetKey unit.
3. FMS authorizes and records vehicle data.
4. When the nozzle is removed, it suspends the transaction, Reinsertion resumes transaction.
5. Transaction terminates when dispenser is turned off, nozzle is inserted into another vehicle, or
suspended transaction is not resumed.
6. Transactions are stored in memory for on-demand retrieval and logger printout.
IMPORTANT HOSE MODIFICATION POINTERS - READ BEFORE
PROCEEDING
Modifying the hose at a work bench is recommended. Use appropriate tools and components. For
reliable and long-lasting installations pay particular attention to the following points as you read the
remainder of the manual:
• Handle the internal hose wire assemblies carefully. Make sure the wire doesn’t become
nicked or cut. A damaged wire within the hose will allow fuel to enter and wick past O-ring
seals inside the jacket, leaking fuel at the connectors and inside the J-box/pre-amp assembly
in the base of the pump.
• If the system does not read the VM after installation of the antenna, first check for continuity
between the N-ring and pre-amp located in the J-box amplifier.
• PVC breakaway and nozzle covers are designed to conceal the breakaway connectors and
wire. The covers must be properly installed.

Introduction
TESTING THE FUEL POINT INSTALLATION
The following test procedures are helpful:
• If the system is set up for use with cards or key activation, first test the pump using the card
or key. Pump a small amount of fuel and check the logger printout to insure the correct
amount is registered. This will test the complete system without the Fuel Point.
• If a master authorizer is available and programmed for the site, it can be used to test the
pump assembly. Hold the authorizer near the N-ring and activate.
• Test the modified pump with a vehicle equipped for use with Fuel Point.
• Verify the hose wiring. At the amplifier/j-box 35 to 40 ohms through the N-ring is required.
• The following chart provides details for using the Fuel Point Reader LED indicators (on
C08886 PCB) while troubleshooting wiring problems. The chart assumes only one vehicle is
fueling as DL3 and 4 are shared by up to 8 hoses. DL3 and 4 indicate the communications
between the FP Reader and FMS unit. DL1 and 2 indicate communications between the FP
Reader and Vehicle Module.

quantity is not pumped, the system will shut off after a programmable number of no
quantity operations. The system must be re-enabled at the terminal. Refer to the
appropriate manual for system in use. When testing several transactions (nozzle
in/outs) you must delay about 5 seconds if communications is lost.

GASBOY Fuel Point System
COMPONENT OVERVIEW
As you read the following descriptions, refer to the
drawing at the right for an overall view of the
assembled hose.
The GASBOY Fuel Point system requires
modification of existing pumps and hoses using
retrofit kits or installing internal-wired, factoryassembled hoses. Each hose outlet requires a
Fuel Point Amplifier available in single, twin or 2-4
hose multiple product assemblies. Hose retrofit
kits provide the parts for field modification of ULapproved fueling dispensers and pumps. To
discourage tampering, hose wiring is internal to the
hose or enclosed in flexible metal tubing.
Connectors are concealed by PVC covers and the
breakaway connector can be reconnected after
drive-offs
Hose assemblies and kits are available in a variety
of configurations for UL-Listed ¾” and 1” standard
and most Vapor Recovery style nozzles. Kits can
be assembled differently based on the breakaway
location. A list of kits and assembly instructions
are discussed later in this manual. Kits include
parts shown in the diagram at right except hoses,
nozzles and fuel breakaway which are to be
supplied by the installer. Wired hoses include
same parts plus the hoses.
The N-Ring assembly (nozzle antenna) mounts at
the base of the fueling spout of the nozzle. The NRing transmits and receives communications to
and from a Fuel Point-equipped vehicle via a TRing (tank ring antenna).
The hose wire provides communications between
the N-ring and Fuel Point J-Box/Amplifier mounted
in the base of the pump. Internal hose wiring
enters and exits the hose through special brass
fittings outfitted with O-ring compression seals.
Hose wires are constructed with a factory-installed
slack loop to compensate for hose stretch that can
occur during a drive-off.

GETTING STARTED
GENERAL INFORMATION
The following procedures assume the dispenser to be modified is UL-Listed and has been
installed according to the applicable codes, including a Listed hose assembly, hose nozzle valve,
and breakaway installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Apply a UL-classified pipe
lubricant/sealant to all pipe threads. Communications from the vehicle to the Fuel Point reader are
provided by the hose wire. GASBOY recommends that this wire be concealed from the end user
to discourage tampering.
Fuel Point dispensers may be configured in three styles depending on the individual application.
Give careful consideration to the hose style.
Style 1 (Breakaway at Dispenser) and Style 3 (Breakaway at Nozzle) can be constructed from
standard kits. Be sure to specify the kit that meets your particular hose length requirements. Style
3 (Breakaway at the High Hose Clamp) should be specified when a high hose feature is to be
used. Extended hose kits provide for up to a 20-foot main hose length. Style 1 or 2 should be
used where nozzle weight may be a consideration.

GASBOY Fuel Point System
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
CAUTION: Assembly and installation of required components may require drilling and/or
sealing parts. Always assemble hose, nozzles, and any components away from
the fuel site in a safe environment where potentially hazardous fumes are not
present.
Use conduit layout drawings in the Fuel Point Reader Manual, C35628 and check installation for
Fuel Point conduits and J-boxes.
All installations must conform with all building/fire codes, all Federal, State, and Local codes,
National Electrical Code, (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, and Automotive and Marine Service Station Code
(NFPA 30A) codes and regulations. Canadian users must also comply with the Canadian
Electrical Code.
APPROVED NOZZLES FOR USE WITH DISPENSER RETROFIT KITS
Standard interchangeable UL-Listed 3/4 and 1" nozzles may be used with Fuel Point. Nozzle
selection may be affected by vehicle type, vehicle tank configurations, locations and opening
diameter. With the nozzle antenna ring (N-ring) installed, check each vehicle for the following:
• Install a test N-ring on the nozzle. For each vehicle, check the read distance from the N-ring
to vehicle tank (T-ring). Fuel Point will communicate when the rings are no more than 9"
apart provided there is no metal blocking the signal (because N-ring is inside fill collar
opening).
• Check that the nozzle spout is fully inserted into the vehicle’s tank opening and the vehicle
can be safely fueled. If necessary, use a nozzle with a longer spout (OPW 7H with #5 BHB0125 12" spout or Richards Mark 12). Note that longer nozzle may affect pump nozzle
hook/boot configuration.
Vapor Recovery nozzles approved for use with Fuel Point are listed in the table below.
Nozzle MFR. V/R Balanced V/R Balanced V/R Assisted
Short Spout Long Spout
NOTE: The above nozzles are only to be used if the dispenser “replacement label” indicates
acceptability.

Page 24
GASBOY Fuel Point System
STEP E: COMPLETE N-RING WIRING
1. At the J-Box, cut the pump wire to
about a 15" length and remove 2" of
outer jacket. Strip (2) wires 3/8" from
the N-Ring hose cable. You are now
ready to make the final N-Ring
connections.
2. The N- Ring hose cable connects to the
two (2) section terminals nearest the
diode. To insert, press the orange tabs
and insert wire. Release tab and verify
a tight connection.
CAUTION: Wire polarity is not important, but connection to the wrong side of the pre-amp
assembly will cause damage!!!
STEP F: APPLY POWER AND CHECK INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Before applying power and checking installation, all wiring must be
complete from Fuel Point Reader to Junction Box Pre-amp. Refer to the
1. Return power to pumps and fuel management system. Switch system to AUTO operation.
For mechanical pumps, the switches are located on the pump control unit; for GASBOY
electronic pumps, these switches are on the CPU board behind the bezel assembly. For
other manufacturer’s pumps, refer to their installation/operation manuals.
2. Test the installation on a vehicle equiped to operate with Fuel Point. If communications ar e
intermittent, check and insure the N-ring and T-ring are within 9" of each other and the N-ring
communications path to the T-ring is not blocked by the metal fill tube (see TIP 1).
TIP 1: Vehicles with large metal fill pipes can allow the nozzle to be fully inserted in the tank
opening. The metal fill tube can block N-ring communications. If this condition exists, use a
nozzle with a extra long spout and provide a mechanism to hold the spout at a 5" to 9" gap
with the ring communication path unobstructed.
Once the system is communicating, pump a small amount of fuel and check for fuel leaks at
all threaded hose connections. For internally-wired hoses, check all O-ring seals and check
for faulty hose wires (see TIP 2).
TI P 2: If hose assembly leaks at one of the O-ring seals, tighten the pressure fitting only as
needed. Do not overtighten; this can also cause leaks. Finger tight, plus 1/4 to 3/8 turns is
sufficient torque to seal.
Internally wired hoses must be checked for damaged internal hose wiring (see WARNING).
WARNING: A nick or cut in the hose wire located within the hose will allow fuel to enter the
jacket interior and travel past o-ring seals. Fuel will be found in connectors and/or J-box.
When this occurs, immediately remove the pump from service and install new hose wiring.
appropriate installation/operation manuals to verify this.

Section 4
VAPOR RECOVERY RETROFIT KITS
Fuel point Vapor Recovery Kits are available in several styles for most common applications
Two style kits are available depending on the type pumping unit used.
Standard single and twin pumps with a high hose retriever require High Hose retrofit kit. Due to
varying hose lengths used in these applications, the hose wire assemblies are available for 4-1/2’
hose, breakaway at the nozzle and 6-1/2’ hose, breakaway at the pump. The kit includes
additional parts for field-modification of other hose lengths.
Kits are available for GASBOY Astra pumps in standard lengths or extended for hoses up to and
including 20’ lengths. These kits require field modifications due to the unlimited hose lengths
encountered.

Vapor Recovery Retrofit Kits
STEP A: CONSTRUCT VAPOR RECOVERY HOSE ASSEMBLIES
Hose 1 Assembly (Pump End)
1. Balanced hose assemblies require removal of one threaded coupler before proceeding.
Starting at the breakaway end, remove split ring and carefully remove coupler. Be careful not
to damage the O-ring seals. Set aside coupler and split ring for re-installation during Step C: Final Vapor Recovery. (For high hose retractor applications, add the high hose clamp
approximately 6” from the hose end.)
2. Add PVC wire covers, trimming as needed with sharp scissors. Do not over-trim openings,
covers should fit tightly around hose.
3. Locate the appropriate wire assembly from the kit and assemble to the hose with 8” tiewraps
approximately at 12” centers (See diagram below). Slide tiewraps between the tubing and
the guide. Tiewraps must be assembled to allow the wire assembly to slide through the
plastic guides. (See diagram below). Do not tighten fully to allow adjustment during Final Assembly. Inspect and lubricate O-ring and reassemble coupler to hose end. When a
clamp is used, adjust tubing to form a 2-3” loop.
Hose 2 Assembly (Nozzle End)
4. Assemble the nozzle end hose repeating Steps 1-3. Hose wire tubing is furnished to fit
popular hose lengths. The small parts kit contains parts to lengthen the tubing two
additional feet. For additional lengths less than two feet, the tubing can be cut to desired
length using a hacksaw and then deburred using a small file. To assemble the added
tubing, start at the nozzle end (end without connector) and cut the tiewrap. Assemble
bushings and tubing, compress slightly and hold in place using the small tiewrap supplied
with the kit.

GASBOY Fuel Point System
STEP B: NOZZLE ASSEMBLY
1. See Vapor Recovery Nozzle list (Section 2) for
nozzles approved by UL for use with Fuel Point.
Locate the N-Ring assembly and follow Step 2 for
balanced nozzle assemblies or follow Step 3 for Vapor
Assist nozzles.
2. For balanced nozzles with bellows, measure the
diameter of the bellows at the base of the spout just
above the check valve, if present. Trim the N-ring
membrane to a diameter slightly smaller than the
measured diameter. Pull the N-ring assembly over
the bellows end cap and position it at the bellows
base.
3. For assist-style nozzles using an ECD cup:
Increase the size of the opening in the N-ring
membrane enough to slip over the ECD cup.
Position the N-ring at the base of the nozzle spout.
4. Carefully feed the N-Ring cable under the nozzle
cover and along one side of the nozzle (See TIP below). On the opposite side of the N-Ring, install
an 11” tiewrap and feed the tail under the cover and
down the opposite side of the nozzle.
TIP: Using two large screwdrivers, insert one from
the fuel spout end and the second from the
opposite end forming a tunnel to feed the
cable and the tiewrap under the nozzle cover.
Lift handles to enlarge the tunnel.
5. Assemble an SAE 20 mini- clamp around the nozzle
handle under the PVC cover to hold the cable and
tiewrap in place (see diagram above right). Adjust
the tubing and clamp so the does not interfere with
the nozzle handle operation. Set assembled nozzle
aside for final assembly later.

hose. Reinstall the trim panel and install the
fitting with conduit nut supplied. For
installations using GASBOY-furnished hoses
with swivel lock mechanisms, proceed to Step E: Complete N-Ring Wiring.
NOTE: Excess hose wire length can be
coiled and stored within the
pumping unit.
3. Install Swivel Limit Mechanisms:- Fuel Pointwired hoses cannot have continuous swivel motion
in the hose assembly. Swivel Limit Kits are
furnished and are to be installed following the
diagram at the right.
4. Clamp the aluminum stop bracket to the
breakaway using clamp furnished. WARNING: Do
not clamp to the hose coupling. Operation of
the swivel and stop bracket can loosen the
threaded coupling.
5. Install the stop clamp as shown and tighten fully.
6. Slide all PVC covers in place and proceed to Step E: Complete N-Ring Wiring.

STEP E: COMPLETE N-RING WIRING
1. At the J-Box, cut the pump wire to
about a 15" length and remove 2" of
outer jacket. Strip (2) wires 3/8" from
the N-Ring hose cable. You are now
ready to make the final N-Ring
connections.
2. The N- Ring hose cable connects to the
two (2) section terminals nearest the
diode. To insert, press the orange tabs
and insert wire. Release tab and verify
a tight connection.
CAUTION: Wire polarity is not important, but connection to the wrong side of the pre-amp
assembly will cause damage!!!
STEP F: APPLY POWER AND CHECK INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Before applying power and checking installation, all wiring must be
complete from Fuel Point Reader to Junction Box Pre-amp. Refer to the
1. Return power to pumps and fuel management system. Switch system to AUTO operation.
For mechanical pumps, the switches are located on the pump control unit; for GASBOY
electronic pumps, these switches are on the CPU board behind the bezel assembly. For
other manufacturer’s pumps, refer to their installation/operation manuals.
2. Test the installation on a vehicle equipped to operate with Fuel Point. If communications are
intermittent, check and insure the N-ring and T-ring are within 9" of each other and the N-ring
communications path to the T-ring is not blocked by the metal fill tube (see TIP 1).
TIP 1: Vehicles with large metal fill pipes can allow the nozzle to be fully inserted in the tank
opening. The metal fill tube can block N-ring communications. If this condition exists, use a
nozzle with a extra long spout and provide a mechanism to hold the spout at a 5" to 9" gap
with the ring communication path unobstructed.
Once the system is communicating, pump a small amount of fuel and check for fuel leaks at
all threaded hose connections. For internally-wired hoses, check all O-ring seals and check
for faulty hose wires (see TIP 2).
TI P 2: If hose assembly leaks at one of the O-ring seals, tighten the pressure fitting only as
needed. Do not overtighten; this can also cause leaks. Finger tight, plus 1/4 to 3/8 turns is
sufficient torque to seal.
Internally wired hoses must be checked for damaged internal hose wiring (see WARNING).
WARNING: A nick or cut in the hose wire located within the hose will allow fuel to enter the
jacket interior and travel past o-ring seals. Fuel will be found in connectors and/or J-box.
When this occurs, immediately remove the pump from service and install new hose wiring.
appropriate installation/operation manuals to verify this.
