INTRODUCTION
This manual provides descriptions and operating procedures for your GASBOY Series 1000 Fuel
Management System. It also contains information for users of the Commercial Fueling Network
(CFN). These users have differences in their Series 1000 systems that are documented in
Appendix A of this book. This CFN is not to be confused with the GASBOY CFN system.
You should review this manual before your system start-up and reference it as you operate the
system.
OVERVIEW
The GASBOY Series 1000 Fuel Management System is a card-activated, microprocessor-based
fuel control and data acquisition system.
The Series 1000 System is designed to gather and record specific information about your fuel
management operation. You set up the Series 1000 by defining your configuration (tanks, pumps,
etc.). See Documentation/Getting Started later in this section.
Once your Series 1000 is operational, a typical scenario might be: A valid user drives his vehicle
into the fueling area. He places his card into the Series 1000, which reads and validates it. If a
second card is required, he then inserts it and the system validates that card. Then, the system
requests various pieces of information depending on the coding on the card (i.e., personal
identification numbers, odometer readings, etc.) Then it asks which pump he will be using. If
everything checks out within the system, the pump is activated and the fueling process begins.
When the fueling process ends and the user replaces the pump nozzle in its holder, the Series
1000 records transaction information in memory, and prints it out at the data terminal or logger, if
setup permits. Based on the transaction information, the Series 1000 decrements the tank
inventory and increments the pump totalizers.
