Start-Up and Service Manual · March 2019 

1

Verify that the power is available at the VaporTEK-3 Controller by confirming LED V1 and 
V6 (red) are on and LED V3 (green) is flashing.

2

Connect the FB1 terminal to RS-422 connector on the VaporTEK-3 Controller 

(see 

Figure 5-1

 on 

page 5-4

).

3

Connect the gas meter encoder cable to FB1 terminal.

4

Connect the hoses to gas meter.

5

Ensure that the nozzle is shut off (vapor valve closed) to perform the leak test.

The following table lists the FB1 terminal key descriptions
