through this communications connection to initiate CPU actions. For these dispensers, an Electronic
Dispenser Interface must be installed between the FMU and dispenser distribution box. See
Appendix H for details on the use of the Electronic Dispenser Interface.
Equipment Interface Unit (EIU)
: a
n EIU (Figure 2-5) is a low-cost Satellite FMU installed to
control activation of ancillary fuel site equipment (i.e., gate opener, door opener, car wash, vacuum
cleaner, etc.) with a Prokee
and/or keypad inputs. The EIU cannot replace a Satellite FMU for
®
dispenser hose control.
Keyless FMU Access:
FMUs may be selected for keyless access. Users
do not need Prokee
s, Smartcards, or credit cards to access keyless FMUs.
®
Users depress the FMU keypad Enter key to bring up the first question to
start a transaction.
Landcell:
Landcell, from Cal Amp, provides a means for wireless cell
phone communications to an FMU. It is installed in the FMU and connected to
the Network Interface Card (NIC). A cell phone input to the Landcell is
converted into a network signal for communications to the FMU. Landcell has
a monthly service charge similar to a cell phone fee. Installation and setup are
covered in Product Bulletin 170.
Large Remote Display
: t
he Large Remote Display is available to
display the quantity or price of fuel pumped in four inch numbers on a large
display mounted anywhere outside a hazardous area. This display can be
particularly valuable to aircraft fueling operations where a hose may have to
be extended 40-50 feet to the aircraft being fueled. The large display is
preprogrammed at the FuelMaster
factory for the correct pulser divide rate.

Equipment
line and off-site card authorization. Account numbers are stored in FMU
Interface Unit
memory and compared to the account number on the card when inserted into
(EIU)
the credit card reader. Some examples of credit cards which may be used for
local authorization are ComData, INS MasterCard, T-Chek, Voyager, and
Wright Express. Some of these cards may also be used for dial-out authorization.
Monitor Mode:
Monitor Mode provides for continually recording product use without initiating a
transaction. Utilized where product must continually feed such as with a furnace. Records transactions
once a day or every 10,000 pulses, whichever occurs first.
Multi-Product Authorization (MPA):
a special application referred to as Multi-Product
Authorization (MPA) has been developed primarily for activating hose reels with AIM2™. An option in
the FMU firmware must be enabled. A dummy fuel nozzle (or other similar device) with a nozzle tag is
used to start a transaction. When the dummy nozzle is inserted in the vehicle's filler neck ring, every
product authorized for that vehicle is activated. This action turns on all the hose reels dispensing the
authorized products. Only the products returning pulses are recorded. The alternative would be to
install nozzle tags on every hose reel, and filler neck rings on every point where engine oil, antifreeze,
automatic transmission fluid, etc., is added. See Product Bulletin 169 to setup MPA.
