GENERAL INFORMATION & WARRANTY
General Information
The PIcon is an economical, full-featured console designed to provide control of up to 16 fueling positions. While most consoles can only control one type of fuel dispenser, the PIcon may be configured to run any major brand electronic dispenser. This is accomplished through the use of brand-specific Progressive International (PI) DBoxes that contain the unique circuitry required to interface to each individual dispenser brand. An alternative to this solution is the use of configurator boxes, supplied by PI, along with the dispenser manufacturer’s DBox.
Your PIcon provides full features, yet is very simple to install and operate. Due to meticulous design of the keyboard and display layout, keystrokes are kept to a minimum during programming setup and normal operation modes.
Standard features provided by the PIcon for efficient control of your fueling dispensers include:
CFull featured console which includes prepay/postpay, preset, drive-away alerts, stacked sale, cash/credit operation.
CManagement features including dispenser, shift and station totals, management security, prices programmed by product.
CEasy to read LCD display.
CRegister style keyswitch for efficient operator entry.
CControls up to 16 fueling positions — including all major electronic dispensers and new blending dispensers.
CAudible alerts for call, drive-away and collect.
CMemory backup to retain data in the event of power outage.
