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.
The first and most important information you must know is how to stop all fuel flow to the
pump and island.

Emergency Total Electrical Shut-Off


Locate the switch or circuit breakers that shut-off all power to all fueling equipment,
dispensary devices, and submerged turbine pumps (STPs). These you must operate in the
event of an emergency.

WARNING
The EMERGENCY STOP, ALL STOP, and PUMP STOP buttons at the cashiers 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.
You must use the TOTAL ELECTRICAL SHUT-OFF in the case of an emergency and not
only these cashier station stops.

Total Electrical Shut-Off Before Access


Any procedure requiring access to electrical components or the electronics of the dispenser
requires total electrical shut-off of that unit.
NFPA 30A, published by the National Fire Protection Association, requires the installation of
an easily accessible switch or circuit breaker to shut-off the power to all fueling equipment,
dispensing devices and STPs in the event of an emergency. Know the function and location of
this switch or circuit breaker before inspecting, installing, maintaining, or servicing Gilbarco
equipment.

Important Safety Information

CAUTION
This signal word designates a hazard or unsafe practice which may result in minor injury.

CAUTION
When used by itself, CAUTION designates a hazard or unsafe practice which may result in
property or equipment damage.

Prevent Explosions and Fires


Fuels and their vapors will become explosive if ignited. Spilled or leaking fuels cause vapors.
Even filling customer tanks will cause explosive vapors in the vicinity of dispenser or island.

No Open Flames
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 fuels and their vapors. After getting
out of a vehicle, touch the metal of your vehicle to discharge any electrostatic charge before
you approach the dispenser island.

Prevent Electrical Shock and Sparks


Dispensing devices use high voltage. A potential shock hazard exists when working on or
around a dispensing device. Follow OSHA lock-out and tag-out procedures.
Always turn OFF power to the dispensing device and associated submerged turbine pumps
(STPs) when servicing or making electrical wiring connections. Multiple disconnects may be
required.

MDE-2540G The Advantage, Legacy, and MPD Series January 2004

Page 3

Important Safety Information

Field Wiring
Poorly wired pumps or dispensers could cause a fire, explosion or electrical shock. Follow
wiring recommendations in installation or service manuals.
Never use knockout boxes or flexible conduit.
Do not use gaskets on junction box covers.
Place all power and lighting wires in threaded, rigid metal conduits.
Plug all unused junction box holes.
Tighten all threaded connections and covers. Spilled or leaking fuels in the vicinity of
electrical junction boxes can be hazardous if boxes are not properly closed. Replace all
bolts and tighten junction box cover before turning on AC power.
Use factory method of routing wires. Use tie wraps to keep unruly wires away from pinch
point and hinges. Tuck wires into enclosure before closing doors, bezels, junction boxes,
covers and breaker panels. Pinched or cut wires (cables) may damage components.
Exposed wires could create sparks and electrical shorts when applying power.
Proper grounding is required for safe operation. See installation manual and applicable
NEC, NFPA and local electrical codes for requirements.

Hydraulic Pressure Releases and Fuel Leakage


Working on hydraulic systems can result in leakage of fuel that may also be under pressure.

Turn off all circuit breakers for unit being worked on, all dispensers using the same
grades of fuel, and all associated STPs.
Do not allow unauthorized or untrained individuals to service hydraulic equipment.
Shear valves, required by NFPA 30A, are intended to shut-off the flow of fuel at the dispenser
base (hydraulics area) during vehicle impact or fires. A single-poppet shear valve prevents fuel
from flowing from the underground tank. A double-poppet shear valve prevents fuel from
flowing from the underground tank and from the dispenser.

Protect Your Eyes


Spraying fuel from residual pressure in lines can cause serious eye injuries. Always
wear eye protection. Gasoline spilled in eyes may cause burns to eye tissue. Rinse eyes with
water for approximately 15 minutes. Seek medical advice immediately. It is not necessary to
wear eye protection unless performing hydraulic service.

Adding Third Party Signs


For third party signs mounted on top of the electronic cabinet the following
recommendations should be followed:
Do not drill into the electronic cabinet.
Use adhesive or magnetic mounted signs.
Ensure that adequate clearance is maintained between the sign and the column sheathing,
all meters and flow switches must be serviceable.

Locating the Managers Keypad


Legacy pumps/dispensers built after May 1986 and The Advantage series use a managers
keypad for all programming. Each time you press a key, that action displays on the main
display.
For The Advantage series, the managers keypad is located behind the locked access door on
side A of the electronics module. The keypad is on a removable magnetic pad behind either the
right options door or the CRIND device options door. For the legacy series, the managers
keypad is located behind a small access door that is keyed.

WARNING
The components inside of the pump/dispenser contain potentially lethal
voltage.
Touching the internal components of a pump/dispenser could cause severe
electric shock.
Only access the managers keypad through the access door.
