Space & Functional
Considerations
When selecting a location for your M3000
Automated Fuel Terminal, carefully study
the dimensions of the pedestal (Figure 7)
and terminal head and remember that
adequate space must be maintained be-
hind the unit for installation and mainte-
nance. This means that an area of several
feet in radius behind the pedestal and ter-
minal head should be maintained.
It is also the responsibility of the person or
persons doing the electrical site prep work
(usually a licensed and bonded electrician)
to comply with National Electrical Code
(NEC). It is not QT Technologies's place or
responsibility to enforce adherence to
NEC but experience has shown that
sometimes people design their fuel dis-
pensing layout prior to carefully studying
Article 514 - Gasoline Dispensing and Ser-
vice Stations of the NEC. Minimum dis-
tances between the pedestal and dispens-
ing equipment must be maintained and
rigid conduit employing sealoffs must be
installed (However, please wait until after
startup to pour the sealoffs, if possible).
Failure to research and comply with these
codes can result in costly reengineering
along with delays. If you or your site prep
team have any questions, consult the ap-
propriate authorities. In some cases, your
local fire marshall may add further require-
ments to what you find published in the
NEC.

thorities should be consulted.
