2 – Important Safety Information

Important Safety Information

This section introduces the hazards and safety precautions associated with installing, inspecting, maintaining or servicing this product. Before performing any task on this product, read this safety information and the applicable sections in this manual, where additional hazards and safety precautions for your task will be found. Fire, explosion, electrical shock or pressure release could occur and cause death or serious injury, if these safe service procedures are not followed.

Preliminary Precautions

You are working in a potentially dangerous environment of flammable fuels, vapors, and high voltage or pressures. Only trained or authorized individuals knowledgeable in the related procedures should install, inspect, maintain or service this equipment.

Emergency Total Electrical Shut-Off

The first and most important information you must know is how to stop all fuel flow to the pump/dispenser and island. Locate the switch or circuit breakers that shut off all power to all fueling equipment, dispensing devices, and Submerged Turbine Pumps (STPs).

WARNING

The EMERGENCY STOP, ALL STOP, and PUMP STOP buttons at the cashier’s station WILL NOT shut off electrical power to the pump/dispenser. This means that even if you activate these stops, fuel may continue to flow uncontrolled.

Read the Manual

Read, understand and follow this manual and any other labels or related materials supplied with this equipment. If you do not understand a procedure, call a Gasboy Authorized Service Contractor or call the Gasboy Service Center at 1-800-444-5529. It is imperative to your safety and the safety of others to understand the procedures before beginning work.

Follow the Regulations

Applicable information is available in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 30A; Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing

Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 70; National Electrical Code (NEC), Occupational Safety and Hazard Association

(OSHA) regulations and federal, state, and local codes. All these regulations must be followed. Failure to install, inspect, maintain or service this equipment in accordance with these codes, regulations and standards may lead to legal citations with penalties or affect the safe use and operation of the equipment.

Replacement Parts

Use only genuine Gasboy replacement parts and retrofit kits on your pump/dispenser. Using parts other than genuine Gasboy replacement parts could create a safety hazard and violate local regulations.

Safety Symbols and Warning Words

This section provides important information about warning symbols and boxes.

Alert Symbol

You must use the TOTAL ELECTRICAL SHUT-OFF in the case of an emergency and not the console’s ALL STOP and PUMP STOP or similar keys.

Total Electrical Shut-Off Before Access

Any procedure that requires access to electrical components or the electronics of the dispenser requires total electrical shut off of that unit. Understand the function and location of this switch or circuit breaker before inspecting, installing, maintaining, or servicing Gasboy equipment.

Evacuating, Barricading and Shutting Off

Any procedure that requires access to the pump/dispenser or STPs requires the following actions:

• An evacuation of all unauthorized persons and vehicles from the work area

• Use of safety tape, cones or barricades at the affected unit (s)

• A total electrical shut-off of the affected unit (s)

This safety alert symbol is used in this manual and

on warning labels to alert you to a precaution which must be followed to prevent potential personal safety hazards. Obey safety directives that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

Signal Words

These signal words used in this manual and on warning labels tell you the seriousness of particular safety hazards. The precautions below must be followed to prevent death, injury or damage to the equipment:

DANGER: Alerts you to a hazard or unsafe practice

which will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Alerts you to a hazard or unsafe practice

that could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION with Alert symbol: Designates a hazard or

unsafe practice which may result in minor injury. CAUTION without Alert symbol: Designates a hazard or unsafe practice which may result in property or equipment damage

Working With Fuels and Electrical Energy

Prevent Explosions and Fires

Fuels and their vapors will explode or burn, if ignited. Spilled or leaking fuels cause vapors. Even filling customer tanks will cause potentially dangerous vapors in the vicinity of the dispenser or island.

MDE-4589 PC TopKAT™ Online Operation and Setup Manual · August 2010 Page 3

Important Safety Information

No Open Fire

Open flames from matches, lighters, welding torches or other sources can ignite fuels and their vapors.

No Sparks - No Smoking

Sparks from starting vehicles, starting or using power tools, burning cigarettes, cigars or pipes can also ignite fuels and their vapors. Static electricity , including an electrostatic charge on your body, can cause a spark sufficient to ignite fuel vapors. Every time you get out of a vehicle, touch the metal of your vehicle, to discharge any electrostatic charge before you approach the dispenser island.

Working Alone

It is highly recommended that someone who is capable of rendering first aid be present during servicing. Familiarize yourself with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) methods, if you work with or around high voltages. This information is available from the American Red Cross. Always advise the station personnel about where you will be working, and caution them not to activate power while you are working on the equipment. Use the OSHA Lockout/Tagout procedures. If you are not familiar with this requirement, refer to this information in the service manual and OSHA documentation.

Working With Electricity Safely

Ensure that you use safe and established practices in working with electrical devices. Poorly wired devices may cause a fire, explosion or electrical shock. Ensure that grounding connections are properly made. Take care that sealing devices and compounds are in place. Ensure that you do not pinch wires when replacing covers. Follow OSHA Lockout/Tagout requirements. Station employees and service contractors need to understand and comply with this program completely to ensure safety while the equipment is down.

In an Emergency

Inform Emergency Personnel

Compile the following information and inform emergency personnel:

• Location of accident (for example, address, front/back of building, and so on)

• Nature of accident (for example, possible heart attack, run over by car, burns, and so on)

• Age of victim (for example, baby, teenager, middle-age, elderly)

• Whether or not victim has received first aid (for example, stopped bleeding by pressure, and so on)

• Whether or not a victim has vomited (for example, if swallowed or inhaled something, and so on)

WARNING

Gasoline ingested may cause unconsciousness and burns to internal organs. Do not induce vomiting. Keep airway open. Oxygen may be needed at scene. Seek medical advice immediately.

WARNING

Gasoline inhaled may cause unconsciousness and burns to lips, mouth and lungs. Keep airway open. Seek medical advice immediately.

4 – Comparison of PC TopKAT Online System with

Standard TopKAT

Following is the list of comparisons between the PC T opKAT Online System and the Standard TopKAT system.

• The PC TopKAT Online System is operationally very different than the standard Gasboy TopKAT FMS system, which uses the standard Gasboy TopKAT PC Polling package.

• The Standard Gasboy PC TopKAT polling software cannot be used with the Online TopKAT chips, as the transaction information layout is different.

• The Online T opKAT system uses exactly the same hardware as the standard TopKAT FMS system.

• Pump and Pump Control Unit (PCU) setup is unchanged.

• The standard TopKAT FMS setup modes of Standalone/Master/Satellite do not apply.

• The Online TopKAT acts as a CLIENT to the PC Online Software database (HOST), in the normal “Authorizing TopKAT systems” mode.

• Equipment and Driver (Vehicle and Employee) data are NOT stored in the Online TopKAT.

• The System Configuration and Transaction files are stored on the Online System identical to the Standard TopKat System.

• Equipment and Driver data are ONLY stored in the PC Online Software Database.

• The Online TopKAT, when in the “Offline” mode with the Online Software (BY DESIGN) operates as a “wide-open system” and will accept any data entered at the Online TopKAT prompts.

Note: In the rare case of suspected Online TopKAT firmware chip failure, standard Gasboy

TopKAT firmware chips could be used to test the TopKAT FMS system hardware. The Online TopKAT chips must then be reinstalled or replaced for the TopKAT FMS system to properly communicate with the PC Online Software.
