DescriptionIntroduction
A standalone TopKAT system can control up to eight electronic hoses or two mechanic al
hoses. A master/satellite option allows multiple units to be linked together, with one acting as
the master controlling unit. If you have the master/satellite option, you can control the
following:
• Up to eight electronic hoses and seven satellite readers
• Up to 16 mechanical hoses (two hoses per TopKAT)
• One 9820 or 9800 single or twin electronic hose and up to 14 mech anical hoses (two hoses
per T o pKAT).
A standalone or master/satellite with a mechanical Pump Control Unit (PCU) option can
control up to eight mechanical hoses (four hoses per PCU and up to two pedestal or wallmounted PCUs).
The TopKAT is equipped with a data key receptacle. Visual prompting messages that are
displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) guide the user through the steps required to
activate the pump/dispenser. The display is backlit so that it can be read at night. A 16-posit ion
membrane keypad is provided on the face of the unit to enter data such as Personal
Identification Number (PIN), odometer reading, pump selection, and so on. The unit may also
be equipped with an optional report printer.
The front bezel and rear of the cabinet are hinged doors secured with locks to prohibit
unauthorized access. The front bezel allows access to the optional report printer and paper.
The one-piece hood can be removed for total accessibility during installation and servicing.
When installing the system, ensure that you provide adequate clearance to allow easy access to
both front and rear doors for servicing.
Communication Ports
The TopKAT system contains three asynchronous ports. Typically, Port 1 is used for
communications to a 9800, ASTRA, or Mechanical PCU via RS-485 lines. Ports 2 and 3 can
be set for either RS-232 or RS-422 communications to a data terminal or computer. Refer to
the port wiring diagrams in

Conduit RequirementsGeneral Installation
All wiring and conduit runs must conform to all building/fire codes, all Federal, State, and
Local codes, the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, and the Automotive and
Marine Service Stations Code (NFPA 30A). Canadian users must also comply with the
Canadian Electrical Code.
Use the tables below as a guideline to determine the proper conduit sizes for the Gasboy
TopKAT FMS. When planning the o r ientation of wiring runs, follow the applicable Gasboy
wiring diagram and consider the layout of components at the site. Long runs or a large number
of bends may require you to increase the conduit size over what is listed here.
To determine the conduit size required, use the “THHN/THWN Wire Areas” table to find the
area for each wire gauge. Add up all wire areas. Use the “Areas of Trade Size Conduit” table
to select the smallest number in the 25% fill area (based on NEC 501-1) that comes closest
without exceeding the total wire area.
When mounted to a 9800 or ASTRA, AC power for the TopKAT system is supplied from the
same power source used to power the 9800 or ASTRA Micro Feed. A wiring cable for AC
power from the 9800 or ASTRA to the TopKAT is supplied with the TopKAT. Refer to
“ASTRA to T opKAT Cabling” on page 27 for more information.
When mounted on a pedestal, AC power for the TopKAT system must come from a separate,
dedicated circuit breaker. No other equipment, including the system's pumps or dispensers,
may be powered from this breaker.
When the TopKAT system is pedestal-mounted with internal PCUs, AC power for the
TopKAT system must be supplied from the same power source used to power the PCUs. A
wiring cable for AC power from the TopKAT system to the PCUs is supplied. When the
TopKAT system is pedestal-mounted but is being used with wall-mounted PCUs, the AC
power for the TopKAT system and PCUs must come from a separate, dedicated circuit
breaker. No other equipment, including the system's pumps and dispensers may be powered
from this breaker.
TopKAT Peripheral Equipment
When used with a 9800 or ASTRA, AC power for the data terminal or external modem must
come from a separate, dedicated circuit breaker. No other equipment, including the system's
pump or remote dispenser control may be powered from this breaker. However, for 9800 and
ASTRA applications, it is acceptable to power the data terminal or external modem from the
breaker that supplies power to the electronic register (Micro Feed on 9800 or ASTRA). This
breaker is the same one that supplies power to the TopKAT system. Whenever possible, one
breaker should be used to supply the Micro Feed and the data terminal or external modem.
However, it is acceptable to supply power to both from multiple breakers within the same
breaker panel and the same phase of power. When necessary, power for the data terminal or
modem may be supplied from a separate, dedicated breaker located in a different breaker
panel.
When used with a pedestal TopKAT system, power for a data terminal or external modem can
come from the same breaker as the TopKAT system.
The system requires 115 VAC + 10% 47-63 Hz, or optional 230 VAC + 10% 47-63 Hz of
power. The system draws a maximum of 95 Watts.
Grounding
Proper system grounding is an extremely important part of system installation. As with the AC
power, the grounds for all system components should return to the same breaker panel. This
helps you to assure a common ground throughout the system, which is necessary for protection
of the RS-485 data loop circuitry. Grounds 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.

Wire SizeGeneral Installation
Suction Pumps
The TopKAT system, with Mechanical Interface or Mechanical PCU options, is capable of
directly driving pump motors up to 3/4 HP at 115 VAC or 1-1/2 HP at 230 VAC. A starter
relay must be used with pump motors that exceed this limitation. A separate circuit breaker
should be supplied for each pump to meet the current requirements and to allow isolated
control with the circuit breaker panel in case of problems.
Dispensers
The TopKAT system with the Mechanical Interface option is capable of directly driving
submersible pumps up to 3/4 HP at 115 VAC or 1-1/2 HP at 230 VAC. A dispenser with a
submersible pump exceeding this limitation requires the use of a submersible starter relay. A
separate circuit breaker should be supplied for each dispenser in cases where it will directly
drive the submersible pump. Dispensers may be grouped together on a single breaker when the
submersible pump has its own breaker . It is recommended that no mo re than two dispen sers be
powered from one breaker to maintain isolated control with the circuit breaker panel in case of
problems.
Wire Size
A wiring cable for AC power from the 9800 or ASTRA to the TopKAT system is supplied
with the TopKAT system. If you are wiring a pedestal TopKAT system or wall-mount
Mechanical PCUs, the AC power wire size must be 14 AWG or larger for runs of up to 300
feet from the breaker panel to the system. Sites with distances over 300 feet must use 12 A WG
wire or larger.
The AC wire size for power of the system data terminal or external modem must be 14 AWG
or larger. This gauge of wire will be sufficient for runs of up to 300 feet (91m) from the
breaker panel to the system. Components with distances over 300 feet (91m) must use 12
AWG wire or larger. All wires should be stranded.
The specifications for the communication wire/cable size can be found in RS-485
“Communication Requirements” on page 19 and/or “RS-422 - SHMs” on page 22 in this
chapter.

General InstallationWire Size
Mechanical Interface Option
The AC wire size for a suction pump is dependent on the HP rating of the pump motor, the
voltage at which the pump will be operated (115/230), and the distance from the circuit
breaker panel to the pump. The chart below may be used as a guide to select the proper size
wire according to the specific installation requirements. The wire size for the Reset Complete
from the pump should be 14 AWG. All wires should be stranded.
The AC wire size for the control lines of a dispenser should be 12 AWG. These control lines
supply power for the reset mechanism, solenoid valve, and submersible starter relay (when the
submersible pump is not directly powered by the dispenser). The wire size for the submersible
pump power depends on the HP rating of the pump motor, the voltage at which it will be
operated (115/230), and the distance from the circuit breaker to the pump. Use the following
table as a guide to select the proper wire size according to specific installation requirements.
The wire size for the Reset Complete from the dispenser should be 14 AWG. All wires should
be stranded.
The DC wire size for the pulser must be 18 AWG (when they are used). Shielded cables, as
described in
The DC wire size for RS-422 lines should be 18 AWG and meet the specifications outlined in
“Communication Requirements” on page 19.
“Pulser Wiring Notes” on page 50 allows pulser lines to run with AC wires.
Refer to “Communication Requirements” on page 19 to determine the wire size and type for
communication wiring of your specific application.

Communication RequirementsGeneral Installation
Communication Requirements
The TopKAT system utilizes RS-485, RS-232, and RS-422 modes of communication for
communicating to the ASTRA, 9800, Mechanical PCUs and peripheral equipment. The
TopKAT has three ports:
• Port 1 is an RS-485 port that is dedicated to communicate with the ASTRA or satellite
TopKAT system.
• Ports 2 and 3 are configurable for either an RS-232 or RS-422 for communication with a
data terminal, modem, or PC.
Phone line (modem) communication may also be used when remote communication to the site
is desired. If a TopKAT internal modem is used, Port 3 is not available for external
communication wiring. The specific requirements for each of these modes of communication
are listed below.
RS-485 - ASTRA and Mechanical PCUs
RS-485 wiring is used for communication between the TopKAT system, ASTRA, and
Mechanical PCUs. This communication takes place over the RS-485 wiring that is supplied
with the TopKAT when the TopKAT system is mounted on an ASTRA or the Mechanical
PCU is mounted in the TopKAT pedestal.
RS-485 - Master/Satellite Option
The master/satellite option uses four wires to operate a full-duplex RS-485 communication
loop. Ports 2 and 3 of the master can be set for either RS-232 or RS-422 communications to a
data terminal or computer or used to communicate with an optional built-in modem.
• All wiring is to be installed and used in accordance with all building/fire codes, Federal,
State and Local codes, National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, and Automotive
and Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A) codes and regulations. Wiring must also
conform to the wiring diagram supplied with the pump/remote dispenser. Canadian users
must comply with the Canadian Electrical Code.
• Power: The AC power for the short haul modem should come from the same breaker that
supplies the peripheral device or the system (Micro Feed).
• Cable: A twisted-pair shielded cable is highly recommended for RS-485 wiring. Although
it is recommended that wires be run in a conduit away from AC wires, they can be
combined in the same conduit with AC wires, provided that a UL-listed cable with the
following specifications is used:
- Conductor: 18 AWG stranded wire; one twisted-pair
- Voltage Rating: Maximum operating voltage of 600 V
- Environmental: Gas and oil-resistant; suitable for wet or dry locations.

DescriptionTopKAT Master/Satellite
6 – TopKAT Master/Satellite
Description
The TopKAT master/satellite option allows up to eight TopKAT units to be linked together
through a full-duplex RS-485 data loop, with one acting as the master controlling unit. The
master is the only unit that will need to have a data communication link as it will collect all
transactions and maintain the complete database for the entire site. The data communication
ports of the satellite units are disabled. The individual TopKAT units may use the standard
RS-485 loop (9800 pumps) to communicate to their pumps or the mechanical interface. The
interface must be the same for each pump within an individual TopKAT system. However,
both types of pump interfaces may be combined within a master/satellite configuration.
Note: Full-duplex communication requires four wires and is not presently supported in the
9850, as it does not have the necessary communication wires.
There are four possible configurations for the master/satellite:
• All electronic, where the TopKAT system can control up to eight electronic 9800/
ASTRAs and up to seven satellite readers
• All mechanical, where the master TopKAT system controls up to two mechanical hoses
and up to 14 other hoses (two hoses each for up to seven TopKATs)
• Combination, where the master TopKAT system controls two electronic 9800/ASTRAs
and up to 14 mechanical hoses (two hoses each for up to seven TopKATs)
• Mechanical pumps, where the master TopKAT system can control up to eight mechanical
pumps (four hoses per Mechanical PCU, up to two Mechanical PCUs) and up to seven
satellite readers.

Description
The Mechanical Interface option for the TopKAT system allows the unit to control fueling and
gather information from up to two mechanical hose outlets (two singles or one twin). The
TopKAT system with mechanical interface is mounted on top of a 50 inch high pedes ta l . All
mechanical interface components are mounted within the head of the TopKAT system and all
wiring connections are made within the TopKAT system. Electronics or control devices are
not present in the pedestal. The TopKAT system with mechanical interface can also be used in
a master/satellite configuration.
The mechanical interface includes two solid-state relays and one manual override switch for
each hose outlet, which control power to the fuel dispensing equipment (for the override
switches to place the pump in MANUAL position, power must be supplied to the TopKAT
system). The TopKAT system can handle quantity pulsing rates of 1, 10, 100, 500, and 1000
per gallon measurement and 1, 10, 100 and 250 per liter measurement.

Wiring Precautions
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock when servicing, turn off all power to the pump/dispenser.
In submersible pump applications, turn off all power to the submersible pump and any other
dispensers which use that submersible pump. AC power can feed back into a shutoff dispenser
when dispensers share a common submersible pump or starter relay.
!
AVERTISSEMENT
Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique lors de l'entretien/révision, coupez totalement le
courant à la pompe/distributeur. Dans les applications de pompe immersible, coupez
totalement le courant à la pompe immersible et tous autres distributeurs qui utilisent la pompe
immersible. Le courant alternatif peut alimenter de nouveau un distributeur à l'arrêt quand les
distributeurs partagent une pompe immersible commune ou un relais de démarrage.
The quality of the electrical installation is a major factor in maintaining proper safety levels
and providing trouble-free operation of your Gasboy pump/dispenser. To ensure a quality
installation, follow these rules:
• All wiring must be installed and used in accordance with local building/fire codes, all
Federal, State, and Local codes, the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, and
the Automotive and Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A) codes and regulations.
Canadian users must also comply with the Canadian Electrical Code.
• Use approved conduit and insulated gasoline and oil resistant copper wiring of the proper
size.
• Wire connections must be tightly spliced and secured with a wire nut; close off the open
end of the wire nut with electrical tape.
• Install an emergency power cutoff. In addition to circuit breaker requirements of NFPA
70, NFPA 30, NFPA 30A and the Canadian Electrical Code (Canadian users only), a
single control that simultaneously removes AC power from all site dispensing equipment
is recommended. This control must be readily accessible, clearly labeled, and in
accordance with local codes.
In order to provide the highest level of safety to you, your employees, and customers, all
employees must be trained as to the location of the power supply and the procedure for turning
off power to the entire system.

Mechanical Interface OptionControl Lines for Mechanical Pumps/Dispensers
Control Lines for Mechanical Pumps/Dispensers
Descriptions of the control lines are provided to familiarize the installer with the control inputs
and outputs that are used to control a mechanical pump/dispenser. Reading these descriptions
will give the installer a better working knowledge of the system and aid in planning the site
wiring.
Grounding
T o ensure proper operation of the equipment and provide the necessary safety factors, this unit
must be grounded. A ground wire (preferably green) must be connected between the ground
wire of the system and the main electrical service panel. One (1) earth ground connection is
required per unit. A ground rod must be installed at the main electrical panel in accordance
with the National Electrical Code. This ground rod must be a solid, corrosion-resistant
conductor. It should be properly tied into the ground bus strip of the panel. The neutral and
ground bus strips must be bonded together (unless prohibited by local codes).
Reset Motor Feed
This is a 115 VAC input which is supplied through the pump handle switch to activate the
reset motor. This line should be switched through the TopKAT system and should only be on
when the pump/dispenser is authorized or in Manual mode. Without power supplied to this
line, the pump/dispenser will not reset when the pump handle is turned on. Two feed lines are
provided for twins. This feed is also connected to the input of one of the internal switches of
the electric reset. When the reset finishes its cycle, the 115 VAC input to the switch will be
passed through as an output, causing the solenoid valve (optional in some models) to open,
and the Reset Complete line to indicate 115 VAC.
Pump Motor Feed
This is a 115 VAC input which is supplied to the input side of one of the internal switches of
the electric reset. This line should be switched through the TopKAT system and should only
be on when the pump/dispenser is authorized or in Manual mode. When the reset finishes its
cycle, the 115 VAC input to the switch is passed through as an output causing the pump motor
to receive power and begin fueling. Without power to this line, the unit would reset, but be
unable to fuel. Two feed lines are provided in twins which contain two motors. The gauge of
this wire (and its neutral wire) must be determined according to the size of the motor, the
voltage at which the motor will be powered (115 VAC or 230 VAC), and the distance from the
breaker panel to the pump. It is possible to combine the pump motor feeds for twins and
supply them from one breaker. However, the gauge of the wire needs to be adjusted to handle
the load of two motors.
Note: 230 VAC is developed across a motor when the other leg of the motor is connected to a
Neutral Feed
This is the AC current return line to the breaker panel for all attached devices (pump motor,
reset motor, solenoid valves). The gauge of this wire must be equal to that of the pump motor
feed (suction pumps) or submersible feed (dispensers).
Phase 2 Feed.

Control Lines for Mechanical Pumps/DispensersMechanical Interface Option
Submersible Feed, Submersible Drive
This is a 115 VAC input which is supplied to the input side of one of the internal switches of
the electric reset. This line must be switched through the TopKAT system and only be on
when the pump/dispenser is authorized or in Manual mode. When the reset finishes its cycle,
the 115 VAC input to the switch is passed through as an output (submersible drive) to drive a
starter relay or to directly drive a submersible motor up to 3/4 HP at 115 VAC or 1-1/2 HP at
230 VAC. Any submersible motor exceeding this limitation must use a starter relay.
Note: 230 VAC is developed across a motor when the other leg of the motor is connected to a
Phase 2 Feed.
Reset Complete (Switch Detect)
This is a 115 VAC output which is used to indicate the reset is complete and the pump/
dispenser is ready to dispense the product. Two lines are provided for twins. This line must
only be used when monitoring of the pump/dispenser is desired (for example, when used with
a fuel management system). This line must be capped when not in use.
Light Feed
This is a 115 VAC input required to power optional fluorescent lights that may be available in
a pump/dispenser. In a site configuration using multiple dispensers (or pumps), the power for
the lights of up to eight units can be supplied by one breaker. The light feed is not controlled
by the TopKAT system.
Light Neutral
This is a return line for AC current from the lights to the breaker panel.
Phase 2 Feed
This is a hot feed which is the opposite phase of the pump motor feed. This line and the pump
motor feed are used for 230 VAC motor applications.
Pulser - Mechanical Pump
This supplies a DC output which is provided to indicate the quantity dispensed.

Note: This section pertains to 9800 electronic pumps/dispensers running as mechanical units
(standalone operation). This scenario would only be used when controlling two pumps:
one mechanical and one electronic running as mechanical, from a single TopKAT
system.
Descriptions of the control lines are provided to familiarize the installer with the control inputs
and outputs that are used to control the Series 9800 and 9820 dispensing units. Reading these
descriptions will give the installer a better working knowledge of the system and aid in
planning the site wiring.
The Series 9800 may be provided for use with 230 VAC power for international applications.
The operating voltage for control lines to these units is shown in parentheses as (230 VAC
International).
Ground
To ensure proper operation of the equipment and provide the necessary safety factors, a good
ground line must be provided. A ground wire (preferably green) must be connected between
the ground wire of the system and the main electrical service panel. One (1) earth ground
connection is required per unit. The ground rod is to be a solid, corrosion-resistant conductor
and must be installed at the main electrical panel in accordance with the National Electrical
Code. It should be properly tied into the ground bus strip of the panel. The neutral and ground
bus strips must be bonded together (unless prohibited by local codes).
Micro Feed
Micro Neutral
The Micro Feed is a 115 VAC (230 VAC International) input required to power the
microprocessor of the register's electronics. This power must always remain on and must be on
a separate breaker from the control lines (Control/Pump Motor Feed or Control/Subm Feed Side 1, Side 2). This must also be on a separate breaker from the fluorescent lights to reduce
electrical noise and allow for separate control of the lights. In a site configuration using
multiple dispensing units, the power for the microprocessors of up to 8 units can be supplied
by one breaker.
The Micro Neutral is a return line for AC current from the microprocessor of the dispensing
unit to the breaker panel.

Control Lines for Gasboy 9800 or 9820 Electronic Pumps/DispensersMechanical Interface Option
Control/Pump Motor Feed
The Control/Pump Motor Feed is a 115 VAC (230 VAC International) input which is required
to power and authorize the control line. This line is used to provide authorization for the
dispensing unit (when enabled through the DIP switches). A resistor assembly must be
installed between the Control Feed line and Feed Neutral to prevent false triggering of the
authorization input. The resistor assembly is 8.2 kilo-ohm, 10 Watt (part number C05818) for
115/230 VAC domestic and 30 kilo-ohm, 10 Watt (part number C06683) for 230 VAC
International wiring. Two Control/Pump Motor Feed lines are provided for twins.
The Control/Pump Motor Feed line is used to power the slow flow and fast flow valves (when
installed). The power used to control the pump is also provided by this line. It is possible to
combine the control lines for twins and supply them from one breaker. However, the gauge of
the wire needs to be adjusted to handle the load of two motors. The Reset Complete signal
used for external monitoring of the pump also originates from the Control/Pump Motor Feed
line.
External Valve
The External Valve line is used to directly power an anti-siphon valve mounted on top of an
aboveground tank. The valve must operate at the same voltage as the pump motor and the
current draw must not exceed 1 A, or the valve must be switched through an external relay
controlled by the External Valve line. Do not connect two or more External Valve lines
together. If more than one pump is drawing from the tank, separate anti-siphon valves must be
installed, or each External Valve line must operate an external relay which then operates the
valve.
Neutral Feed
The Neutral Feed is the AC current return line to the breaker panel for all attached devices
(pump motor, solenoid valves).
Control/Submersible Feed (Control/Subm Feed)
The Control/Subm Feed is a 115 VAC (230 VAC International) input which is required to
power and authorize the control line. This line is used to provide authorization for the
dispensing unit (when enabled through the DIP switches). A resistor assembly must be
installed between the Control Feed line and Feed Neutral to prevent false triggering of the
authorization input. The resistor assembly is 8.2 kilo-ohm, 10 Watt (part number C05818) for
115/230 VAC domestic and 30 kilo-ohm, 10 Watt (part number C06683) for 230 VAC
International wiring. This line also supplies the power which is switched to the slow flow and
fast flow valves along with the Reset Complete signal. Two lines are provided for twins.
Units with Standard Submersible Drive (Subm Drive)
Power for the Subm Drive line originates from this input. The submersible starter relay line, in
standard dispensers, is not capable of directly powering a submersible pump. A starter relay
must be used. The control lines for twin dispensers can be combined together and powered by
one breaker if individual control of each side is not desired. In a site configuration using
multiple dispensers, the power for the control lines of up to eight hose outlets (eight singles or
four twins) can be supplied from one breaker.

Page 54
Mechanical Interface OptionControl Lines for Gasboy 9800 or 9820 Electronic Pumps/Dispensers
Units with Optional Direct Submersible Drive
Power for the Subm Drive line originates from this input. 9800 Series dispensing units
equipped with the optional relays for direct submersible pump drive can be connected directly
to submersible pumps up to 3/4 HP at 115 VAC or 1-1/2 HP at 230 VAC. The gauge of this
wire should be determined according to the size of the motor, the voltage at which the motor
will be powered, and the distance from the breaker panel to the pump.
Submersible Starter Drive (Subm Starter Drive)
The Subm Starter Drive is a 115 VAC (230 VAC International) output used to control a
submersible starter relay. Two lines are provided for twins. This line is capable of supplying
300 mA of AC current to control the coil of the submersible motor contactor (starter relay).
This is sufficient for directly connecting to the popular models. However, refer to the
contactor (relay) manufacturer's data sheet for the sealed VA rating. Divide the sealed VA by
the coil voltage to determine the current. This line must not be connected directly to the
submersible pump, shorted to any conduit or chassis metal, or wired incorrectly, or the CPU
PC board will be instantly damaged. This line must be capped when not in use.
Submersible Drive (Subm Drive)
This line is always present for dispensers, but is active only when Subm Drive relays are
supplied. The Subm Drive is a 115/230 VAC (230 VAC International) output used to control
the submersible starter relay or submersible pump. When connected directly to the
submersible pump, the motor size cannot exceed 3/4 HP at 115 VAC or 1-1/2 HP at 230 VAC.
Two lines are provided for twins. In cases where both lines are controlling the same starter
relay or pump, they can be combined.
Reset Complete (Switch Detect)/Slow Flow
The Reset Complete/Slow Flow is a 115 VAC (230 VAC International) output which is used
to indicate that the reset process is complete and the unit is ready to dispense the product. It is
required when used with a TopKAT fuel management system. It may also be used to control a
remote (satellite) slow flow valve. Two lines are provided for twins.
Phase 2 Feed
The phase 2 feed is a hot feed which is the opposite phase of the pump motor feed. This line
and the pump motor feed are used for 230 VAC motor applications. The Phase 2 Feed must be
switched through a separate relay to prevent false triggering of the authorization signal.
Light Feed
The Light Feed is a 115 VAC input required to power the fluorescent lights. In a site
configuration using multiple dispensers (or pumps), the power for the lights of up to 8 units
can be supplied by one breaker. This must be on a separate breaker from the Micro/Heater
Feed to reduce electrical noise and allow for separate control of the lights.

Control Lines for Gasboy 9800 or 9820 Electronic Pumps/DispensersMechanical Interface Option
Light Neutral
The Light Neutral is a return line for AC current from the lights to the breaker panel. When a
separate breaker is not used to control the lights, the light neutral is attached to the Micro
Neutral.
Pulser - 9800/9820
CAUTION
The TopKAT Pump Control Printed Circuit Board (PCB) must be set for electronic pulser (100:1
or higher) as shown in “Terminal Block ID” on page 42. Failure to set the Pump Control PCB
jumpers properly will damage the TopKAT.
When a 9800 Series dispensing unit is wired to the TopKAT using the mechanical interface,
the dispensing unit must include the optional pulser interface PCB (C06425, M05158A001,
M05158A002, and M06587A001) to provide a pulse output. This pu lser output pr ovides a DC
output to indicate the quantity dispensed. This is an open collector output. This output can sink
up to 100 milliamps DC at voltages up to 24 VDC. The output pulse rate can be configured by
a DIP switch on the 9800 CPU PCB for rates of 1, 10, 100, 250, or 500 pulses p e r gallo n or 1,
10, or 100 pulses per liter. For the 9850 pump, the pulse rates are 1, 10, or 100 pulses per
gallon or 1 or 10 pulses per liter. For 9840K (liters), the pulse rate is 10 pulses per liter. An
additional output is provided for a twin. A DC ground line from the TopKAT must be
connected to the DC ground line provided from the electronic register.

DescriptionMechanical PCU Option
8 – Mechanical PCU Option
Description
The Mechanical PCU option for the TopKAT syst em allows the unit to control fueling and
gather information from up to eight mechanical hose outlets (Four per PCU, with a maximum
of two PCUs). The TopKAT system with Mechanical PCU configuration is mounted on top of
a pedestal. PCUs can be mounted within the pedestal or wall-mounted.
• PCUs mounted within the pedestal require a large square pedestal. When using pedestalmounted PCUs, all pump/dispenser wiring connections are made within the TopKAT
system pedestal.
• Wall-mounted PCUs use a triangular pedestal. When using wall-mounted PCUs, all pump/
dispenser wiring connections are made within the wall-mounted PCUs.
The TopKAT system with the Mechanical PCU option can also be used in a master/satellite
configuration.
The mechanical PCU includes two solid-state relays and one manual override switch for each
hose outlet, which control power to the fuel dispensing equipment (for the override switches to
place the pump in MANUAL position, individual PCU power must be present). The TopKAT
system can handle quantity pulsing rates of 1, 10, 100, 500, and 1000 per gallon measurement
and 1, 10, 100 and 250 per liter measurement.

address.
Page 84MDE-4319E TopKAT™ Fuel Management System Installation Manual · August 2008
Page 91
Pump Control EXPMUX CPU BoardMechanical PCU Option
An address must be set to identify the pump control unit when it is connected to the TopKAT
system. This address is a unique identifier for multiple PCUs that are connected on the same
RS-485 line. Addressing should start at 1 and continue sequentially through 16. The physical
wiring order does not have to correspond with the address order, that is, the first unit on the
RS-485 line does not have to be address 1.
Switches 1 through 4 denote the address. This is factory set and does not have to be corrected.
The table below provides the switch settings for the address selections.
8 Switches SB-5 through SB-8 are not relevant to the op eratio n of this uni t and should be set to
Closed.
9 The settings for switch bank SC (1 through 4) determine when the pump control unit begins
counting pulses for a particular pump. When a switch is open, the PCU begins counting pulses
when the corresponding pump is activated. When a switch is closed, as it should be for most
configurations using mechanical pumps, the PCU does not count pulses for the corresponding
pump until the mechanical reset has completed. The table below provides the switch settings
for SC-1 through SC-4.

10 In switch bank SC, between 5 through 8, only switch 6 and 8 are active. Switch SC-6 is the
Deadman Timer Switch. If enabled, the pump control unit must be polled at least every 15
seconds by the TopKAT. If it fails to sense a poll at that time, it turns off all relays. If Reset
Complete Mode is used on any pump on a particular PCU, the deadman timer should be
disabled. Switch SC-8 enables the test mode allowing the basic PCU functions to be tested
without the use of a site controller.
The table below gives the switch settings for SC-5 through SC-8.

Wiring Precautions
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock when servicing, turn off all power to the pump/
dispenser. In submersible pump applications, turn off all power to the submersible pump
and any other dispensers which use that submersible pump. AC power can feed back into a
shut off dispenser when dispensers share a common submersible pump or starter relay.
!
AVERTISSEMENT
Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique lors de l'entretien/révision, coupez totalement le
courant à la pompe/distributeur. Dans les applications de pompe immersible, coupez
totalement le courant à la pompe immersible et tous autres distributeurs qui utilisent la
pompe immersible. Le courant alternatif peut alimenter de nouveau un distributeur à l'arrêt
quand les distributeurs partagent une pompe immersible commune ou un relais de
démarrage.
The quality of the electrical installation is a major factor in maintaining proper safety levels
and providing trouble-free operation of your Gasboy pump/dispenser. To ensure a quality
installation, follow these rules:
• All wiring must be installed and used in accordance with local building/fire codes, all
Federal, State, and Local codes, the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, and
the Automotive and Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A) codes and regulations.
Canadian users must also comply with the Canadian Electrical Code.
• Use approved conduit and insulated gasoline and oil resistant copper wiring of the proper
size.
• Wire connections must be tightly spliced and secured with a wire nut. Close of f the open
end of the wire nut with electrical tape.
• Install an emergency power cutoff. In addition to circuit breaker requirements of NFPA
70, NFPA 30, NFPA 30A and the Canadian Electrical Code (Canadian users only), a
single control which simultaneously removes AC power from all site dispensing
equipment is recommended. This control must be readily accessible, clearly labeled, and
in accordance with local codes.
In order to provide the highest level of safety to you, your employees, and customers, all
employees must be trained as to the location of the power supply and the procedure for turning
off power to the entire system.

Mechanical PCU OptionControl Lines for Mechanical Pumps/Dispensers
Control Lines for Mechanical Pumps/Dispensers
Descriptions of the control lines are provided to familiarize the installer with the control inputs
and outputs that are used to control a mechanical pump/dispenser. Reading these descriptions
will give the installer a better working knowledge of the system and aid in planning the site
wiring.
Grounding
T o ensure proper operation of the equipment and provide the necessary safety factors, this unit
must be grounded. A ground wire (preferably green) must be connected between the ground
wire of the system and the main electrical service panel. One earth ground connection is
required for each unit. A ground rod must be installed at the main electrical panel in
accordance with the National Electrical Code. This ground rod must be a solid, corrosionresistant conductor. It should be properly tied into the ground bus strip of the panel. We
recommend the neutral and ground bus strips be bonded together (unless prohibited by local
codes).
Reset Motor Feed
This is a 115 VAC input which is supplied through the pump handle switch to activate the
reset motor. This line should be switched through the TopKAT system and should only be on
when the pump/dispenser is authorized or in manual mode. Without power supplied to this
line, the pump/dispenser will not reset when the pump handle is turned on. Two feed lines are
provided for twins. This feed is also connected to the input of one of the internal switches of
the electric reset. When the reset finishes its cycle, the 115 VAC input to the switch will be
passed through as an output, causing the solenoid valve (optional in some models) to open and
the Reset Complete line to indicate 115 VAC.
Pump Motor Feed
This is a 115 VAC input which is supplied to the input side of one of the internal switches of
the electric reset. This line should be switched through the TopKAT system and should only
be on when the pump/dispenser is authorized or in the Manual mode. When the reset finishe s
its cycle, the 115 VAC input to the switch is passed through as an output causing the pump
motor to receive power and begin fueling. Without power to this line, the unit will reset, but
will be unable to fuel. Two feed lines are provided in twins, which contain two motors. The
gauge of this wire (and its neutral wire) should be determined according to the size of the
motor, the voltage at which the motor will be powered (115 VAC or 230 VAC), and the
distance from the breaker panel to the pump. It is possible to combine the pump motor feeds
for twins and supply them from one breaker. However, the gauge of the wire needs to be
adjusted to handle the load of two motors.
Note: 230 VAC is developed across a motor when the other leg of the motor is connected to a
Phase 2 Feed.
Page 90MDE-4319E TopKAT™ Fuel Management System Installation Manual · August 2008
Page 97
Control Lines for Mechanical Pumps/DispensersMechanical PCU Option
Neutral Feed
This is the AC current return line to the breaker panel for all attached devices (pump motor,
reset motor, solenoid valves). The gauge of this wire must be equal to that of the pump motor
feed (suction pumps) or submersible feed (dispensers).
Submersible Feed, Submersible Drive
This is a 115 VAC input which is supplied to the input side of one of the internal switches of
the electric reset. This line should be switched through the TopKAT system and only be on
when the pump/dispenser is authorized or in manual mode. When the reset finishes its cycle,
the 115 VAC input to the switch is passed through as an output (submersible drive) to drive a
starter relay or to directly drive a submersible motor up to 3/4 HP at 115 VAC or 1-1/2 HP at
230 VAC. Any submersible motor exceeding this limitation must use a starter relay.
Note: 230 VAC is developed across a motor when the other leg of the motor is connected to a
Phase 2 Feed.
Reset Complete (Switch Detect)
This is a 115 VAC output which is used to indicate if the reset is complete and the pump/
dispenser is ready to dispense the product. Two lines are provided for twins. This line should
only be used when monitoring of the pump/dispenser is desired (such as when used with a fuel
management system). This line must be capped when not in use.
Light Feed
This is a 115 VAC input required to power optional fluorescent lights that may be available in
a pump/dispenser. In a site configuration using multiple dispensers (or pumps), the power for
the lights of up to eight units can be supplied by one breaker. The light feed is not controlled
by the TopKAT system.
Light Neutral
This is a return line for AC current from the lights to the breaker panel.
Phase 2 Feed
This is a hot feed which is the opposite phase of the pump motor feed. This line and the pump
motor feed are used for 230 VAC motor applications.
Pulser - Mechanical Pump
This supplies a DC output which is provided to indicate the quantity dispensed.
MDE-4319E TopKAT™ Fuel Management System Installation Manual · August 2008 Page 91
Notes: 1) All the pulsers shown above are connected to Hose 1.
2) Jumpers on the Pump Control PCB must be properly jumpered according to the
pulser type. This should be done by the person performing the start-up. Power to the
system must not be turned on prior to this setup.
3) Refer to “Conduit Layout/Installation Specifications” on page 14 for detailed system
installation specifications.
4) When installed in a separate DC conduit, 18 AWG wires are required for
installation. Although it is recommended that DC pulser wires be run in a separate
conduit away from AC wires, they can be combined in the same conduit with AC
wires providing UL-listed cable with the following specifications is used:
• Conductor: 18 AWG stranded wire. Number of conductors to be determined by
