CONNECTING SERIAL COMM MODULES
The Comm cage, in the Communication Bay (left compartment of the console), can accept a wide variety of
modules; Serial Comm modules, miscellaneous modules, such as the WPLLD Communications Module, and
Dispenser Interface Modules (except Mechanical Dispenser Interface Modules which install in the Power Bay of
the console).
SERIAL COMM MODULES
The Comm cage also accepts the Serial Comm modules such as the SiteFax module, RS-232 Interface Module,
The Remote Printer Interface module, etc. Follow the installation instructions shipped with these modules.
MISCELLANEOUS MODULES
Follow the installation instructions shipped with these modules:
•
WPLLD Communications Module - component of the WPLLD line leak system.
•
Printer Interface Module - interfaces between a CPU board and an integral printer.
•
TCP/IP Interface Module - allows communication between a console and a PC over the internet.
DISPENSER INTERFACE MODULES (DIMS) - CONSOLES W/BIR ONLY
BIR equipped consoles must be able to communicate with many different dispensing systems to perform Business
Inventory Reconciliation (BIR) functions. This communication is done via Dispenser Interface Modules (DIM) that
are designed in cooperation with major dispenser manufacturers. The DIM gives the console real-time access to
dispenser activity. Connecting a DIM to your particular Dispensing System must be done following instructions
found in the installation manual accompanying the DIM.
Before Applying Power to the Console
After all connections have been made to the console, connect the wires carrying ac power to the console at the
breaker panel - Check the Input Power Rating on the label affixed to the underside of the console to verify whether
input power requirements are 120 Vac or 240 Vac [see Figure 7 on page 13].
Refer to the System Setup manual prior to applying power to the system.
