(gallons) or 1, 10, 100, or 250 pulses per unit (liters) • RS-485 communication for direct connect to Gasboy CFN equipment • Battery backup for display of last transaction and capture of remnant pulse count in the event of a power failure •...
Section 4). DO NOT use a circuit breaker of improper size. (See Section 4). DO NOT use the GASBOY fuel dispensing equipment to remove water ballast from the storage tank. 10. DO NOT use gaskets on covers of explosion-proof type boxes. The sealing compound found around wires at various locations within conduit is a requirement of the National Electrical Code and should not be disturbed.
GASBOY Series 9820Q Vent Line The vent line for standard units is vented to the atmosphere. Whenever possible, it is recommended that the line be returned to the tank. A hole is provided above the normal vent opening to allow this line to exit the pumping unit and return to the tank.

Installation Key for Chart Headings Height Measurement from the ground to the hose connection assuming the pumping unit is mounted on top of the tank with the feet provided. Tank height + 6" , standard units; tank height + 12" for vapor recovery units. Hose Length Length of hose less nozzles and fittings.
The operating voltage for control lines to these units is shown in parentheses as (230 VAC Int'l). If connecting the 9820Q to a GASBOY fuel management system, refer to the appropriate fuel management system Installation Manual for detailed installation information.
This line can be used in conjunction with a fuel management system (for systems other than the Gasboy CFN Series systems). This line is capable of supplying 300 mA AC maximum (170 mA maximum if already connected to the optional valve).
RS-485 When the dispensing unit includes the optional RS-485 interface, RS-485 lines are provided. This interface allows the user to connect a GASBOY CFN Series System or TopKAT system directly to the Series 9820Q dispensing unit. MDE-4339 9820Q ASTRA Installation/Operation • July 2004...

Wiring Precautions The quality of the electrical installation is a major factor in maintaining proper safety levels and providing trouble-free operation of your GASBOY pump. To assure a quality installation, follow these rules: All wiring must be installed to 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.
RS-485 The RS-485 option provides the means for direct connection to a GASBOY CFN Series System or TopKAT System. Consult the wiring diagrams provided in Wiring in Section 4, along with the installation manual of the CFN Series System or TopKAT System for proper wiring.
The DC wire size for the Pulser lines connecting the pumping unit to the register assembly must use four conductor, 18 AWG shielded cable (Belden 89418, Gasboy P/N C08864). This cable allows the pulser wires to run in the same conduit as the AC wiring for the short distance between the pumping unit and the register assembly.
Retrofit Manual, C35628 for details. The GASBOY Warranty will not apply to any dispenser in which the AC and DC wires are run in the same conduit, J-Box or wireway except as noted. The GASBOY Warranty will not apply to any dispenser using PVC as conduit.

Pump Operation 5. Pump Operation Overview This section describes the operation of the pump. It shows how to access the electronic components, how to set the internal switches, the optional battery back-up power supply, how to view and reset the electronic totalizers using the actuator, how to operate the pump, and how to lock the nozzle.
GASBOY Series 9820Q Electronic Component Access Before attempting to start-up the 9820Q, it is important to become familiar with the location of some key components as well as the various switch-selectable operating modes. Unlock and remove the front panel. Remove the two screws located at the top of the door assembly.
Fuel System This switch is set to reflect the communication rate of 9600 Open the GASBOY RS-485 pump loop; open for 9600 baud TopKAT top-mount or closed for 1200 baud. The GASBOY CFN system TopKAT electronic and TopKAT communicate at 9600 baud.

Not used. This four-position switch pack serves a dual purpose: as an address setting when communicating on the GASBOY RS-485 loop or TopKAT, or as a pulser output rate selector when pulser data is sent to a fuel management system other than a GASBOY CFN or TopKAT.

Pump Operation Battery Back-Up Power Supply 9820Q models can be equipped with an optional battery back-up power supply. This allows the last transaction data to be displayed for a minimum of 15 minutes. After the batteries reach a certain low-voltage point, the power will automatically shut off. If you need to shut off the battery power before the low-voltage point is reached, momentarily disconnect, then re-connect, the cable that plugs into P1 on the power supply.
GASBOY Series 9820Q To view the pump totalizer, make sure the pump handle is off and no transaction is in progress. Locate the unit of measure indication (i.e., GALLONS) below the display window. Touch this area with the actuator as shown. The totalizer data will be displayed for 10 seconds. If more time is needed, touch the actuator to the same area for an additional 10 second period.
Pump Operation Nozzle Locking A locking mechanism is supplied as part of the hook arrangement on each 9820Q. This will allow the unit to be locked thus preventing use of the dispenser. A lock with a shackle clearance of at least 2-1/2"...
All plumbing must be complete and tight. All liquid-carrying lines must be checked for leaks. When DC pulse output lines are used in the pump for connecting to GASBOY fuel management systems, the AC and DC wires must not share any conduits, junction boxes, or troughs except as noted in Section 4, Wire Size.
Calibration All GASBOY pumps are adjusted for accurate measure at the factory. However, since the conditions of the installation can affect pump accuracy, it is the responsibility of the installer to check the pump for accuracy and make any needed adjustments.

GASBOY Series 9820Q Check meter registration by delivering product to a reliable, accurate, 50 or 100 gallon prover. Remove the seal wire from the locking pin. Remove locking pin and turn wheel to adjust measurement. Turn clockwise to decrease the amount in the prover to match the display, turn counter-clockwise to increase the amount in the prover to match the displayed.
Underwriters' Label on your pump, be sure they are new authorized service parts supplied by GASBOY. Every part of a pump is carefully designed for a particular purpose. If it is replaced by an incorrect or substandard substitute, pump operation will be unsatisfactory.
As a result, it is necessary to give the finish a reasonable amount of care if an attractive appearance is to be maintained. The finish on GASBOY pump housings is a heat baked urethane paint. The life of this finish can be lengthened several years if, at regular intervals, the painted surfaces are thoroughly cleaned with a high grade automobile polish and then protected with a coat of paste wax.
• Warranty services must be performed by the nearest Authorized Service Contractor qualified to perform service on the defective equipment. • Gasboy will supply new or rebuilt parts to replace parts which are found to be defective within the warranty period. Parts returned to Gasboy must be shipped with transportation charges paid and will be replaced with parts with transportation charges prepaid by Gasboy.
