1.1. General The Compac C4000 is a microprocessor-based circuit board designed for use in liquid and gaseous fuel metering systems. It is suitable for commercial, retail, and bulk-metering applications and can be used for Tank Gauging, card reader access, and many other control functions.
1.2. Safety Precautions The C4000 head, and its associated circuits and wiring, is a certified piece of electrical equipment approved for use in a hazardous area (Class 1 Zone 1, Group IIA T3). Only parts identical to those covered by the certification may be used where the integrity of the intrinsic safety may be affected.
This is not a recommended alternative to wearing an anti-static wrist strap. Note: Compac Industries Limited reserves the right to refuse to accept any circuit boards returned, if proper anti-static precautions have not been taken.

With CNG dispensers, the sequencing rate between 'banks' is also set using the parameter switch (reference section 3.3.6). The positions of the above switches are shown on Figure 1, page 1. Set up of the C4000 must be done in the following sequence: ‘K’...
The power supply does not have to be interrupted. NOTE: The C4000 will reset at any stage during the 'K' Factor switch operation if the switch is not pressed for a period exceeding ten (10) seconds. If the C4000 resets out of any field before the numbers have been set correctly, then that field must be entered again to ensure the details are correct.
Caution: Be careful when calibrating dual or multi-hose pumps & dispensers to ensure that the correct 'K' factor is being changed. 3.1.3. No Flow Cut-Off Timer Under normal conditions to end a transaction on a C4000 controlled pump/dispenser, there are three possibilities: • Returning the nozzle to its holder.

IMITED 3.1.8. Configuration Code The C4000 pump/dispenser software, the configuration code (used to set the pump/dispenser to single, dual or multi mode) has been extended to 5 digits. When configuring the pumps/dispensers, the litre display will display each digit, as shown in Figure 3 on page 15.

15ºC. NOTE: the C4000 will reset itself if the ‘K’ factor switch is left for more than 10 seconds. Pressure does have a small effect on density so you will notice that the LPG pump will run while the density is being calibrated.
3.2.4. ACV Valve Flowrate This is only available in Bulk Meter mode where the ACV Valve has 'Compac Designed' controls. The Configuration code must be set-up for “Compac flow modulation” (4th digit set to 2. Refer Figure 3 page 15) Setting ACV Valve Flowrate Refer to section 3.1.1 page 8.
The C4000 processor board can be set for five hose configurations: Single (e.g. one C4000 controls one hose) Dual (e.g. one C4000 controls two hoses) Quad (e.g. one C4000 controls four hoses. If a true multi then only two hoses (one per side) can operate at any time) Multi (e.g.

Repeat steps 1 to 7 for side “B” NOTE: If a Compac Central Controller, EFTPEC, Task forecourt controller, or Compac Commander is used, the price must be set to zero (0) at the pump/dispenser. The price can then be set at the Controller. This applies to all configuration display options.
NDUSTRIES IMITED If the C4000 is in Bulkmeter mode (See clause 3.1.4) or set-up for LPG with temperature compensation but without a densometer (Configuration code = 5xx5x) then the density can be set using the parameter switch. This is not available in other modes.
'AXXXX' appears on the display. This number is different for each Compac Card/Key System, which ensures that the cards/keys for any one system cannot be used on any other systems. The access code can be changed by the usual press/hold/release method using the Parameter switch.

Card/pin/key status is also displayed on this printout. The printer may also be permanently wired to the C4000 comm's. If the printer is left with the power on and on-line, it will then act as an 'audit trail printer'. It will then print out the card/pin/key number, litres dispensed and the total in dollars, at the end of each fill.
This Receipt Printer option is only available for C4000 microprocessors controlling one hose pumps/dispensers, or for C4000s which are set-up in 'True Multi' configuration. A PINpad must also be connected to the C4000 and the third digit of the Configuration Code must be set to '1' or '3' (See Section 3.1.8) •...

To select this option the third digit of the Configuration Code for the C4000 should be set to '4' or '5', depending upon whether a standard or Secure PINpad is installed on the pump/dispenser. (See Section 3.1.8).
'C4000 Head' operates as a totally self-contained system operating independently of the central controller. The C4000 'Comms' circuitry, which is usually used for communicating with a controller, is now used to run an audit trail and/or receipt printer (see section 4 for printer setup details and sections 5.2 and 5.3 for details on how to print or...

One pulse = 3.1 ml When the C4000 'head' is used for other meters this ratio can vary, e.g. from 0.5 litres / turn to as high as 10 litres / turn. The encoder will rotate up to 600 rpm before 'tripping' an ‘Er 7’ message. If the encoder is disconnected, the C4000 will not start the pump and an ‘Er 9’...
When the hi-lo switch is used in the "HI" position, it energises outputs on the C4000 to operate motors #1 and #2 (with a one-second interval before motor #2 starts), which in turn operates their associated pump.
Electronic Totals As well as having electromechanical totalisers for litres dispensed from the pump, each C4000 stores in its memory a five-digit litres total of fuel dispensed from each hose. Both these totals are non-resetable. These totals can be displayed by pressing the CANCEL or FILL buttons on the preset keypad, of the meter/hose in question, five times in quick succession.

Turn off power. Remove software EPROM (removable chip labelled C4000 PXX or XX-X-XX:XX.X) using an EPROM extractor. (See Figure 1 for the location of the EPROM.) Plug in new software EPROM, being careful that the dimple is at the correct end of the socket.
Check all IC's are firmly in their sockets. Re-power the C4000 If watchdog resets (i.e. stays off), then everything is okay. Replace C4000 PCB if watchdog still comes on after re- power. No - Replace C4000 PCB. Are IC's plugged in correctly?
