OVERVIEW
Tulsa Gas Technologies' dispensers are manufactured with service and ease of
installation. Before you service or install the dispenser, open both lower doors and
familiarize you with the contents of the dispenser.
The 7000-CNG50 dispenser is a two hose dispenser that will meter the gas
separately to two hoses independently from each other and provide a display for the
volume and amount of money dispensed. This dispenser will sequence up to three
separate banks of gas and temperature compensate the fill to either 3000 psi @70F
or 3600psi @70F. The dispenser will supply an output pulse that is scaled to the
volume. The mechanical relief valve inside the dispenser is set at 125% of nozzle
operating pressure. Each hose has a pressure gauge that will show the vehicle
pressure when the product valve is open. Removing power to the dispenser will stop
gas flow to the vehicle through the dispenser.
Locate the main junction box inside the dispenser behind the lower doors. As you
are facing the lid of the main junction box, we will always refer to this side of the
dispenser as the front. The control electronics (Motherboard) is inside a box in the
area behind the display. The keypad that is used for price changes and function
changes is attached to the door of the box containing the control electronics.
4. Micro Motion CNG50 meter is rated for 5000psi and 170lbs./minute fill rate
(4627Kg/h). This dispenser maximum flow is 1500 scfm.

1. Pour concrete to be flush with the top of the TGT Island Box. The dispenser
will mount to this island box with 1/2" bolts through pre-punched holes in
the island box and the dispenser. The island box needs to be self-supporting
and not dependent on the electrical conduits or piping going to the dispenser
for its support.
2. Note the rough-in heights of the conduits on the electrical drawing. The
junction box is low in the cabinet; so make sure to leave plenty of room for the
sealoffs and unions. The top of the sealoff should be flush with the top of the
island box. You must leave access to all sealoff for packing and sealing.
4. The vent line is located inside the dispenser cabinet and is a 1/4" tube fitting.
You will need to connect this to the vent location that is on your site. An
optional location for the vent line is up the retractor pole.
5. The TGT dispenser can be configured so that the solenoid valve inside the
dispenser serves as the temperature compensation valve. If this is done,
there MUST be a pressure relief valve (as specified in NFPA 52, AGA NGV
4.1/CGA 12.5 Standard for NGV Dispensing Systems, Article 1.11.3, Item
A) downstream of this valve.
9. Select the NGV1 nozzle for the delivery pressure of the vehicle and it shall
be in accordance with AGA NGV 4.1/CGA 12.5 Standard for NGV
Dispensing Systems, Article 1.9.3.
10. Three lines from the bank storage should be run to the dispenser with tubing
sized to handle the flow rate of both sides.
11. It is recommended to put ESD valves back at the storage to minimize the
available gas to the dispenser in an ESD situation.
The above information provides data about both hoses. The left side of the display
has data for hose # 1 and the right side has data for hose # 2. H1 TOTAL is the total
quantity of gas that has been dispensed through hose # one. This quantity is in
whole units. That is if the gas is being dispensed in gasoline gallon equivalent the
total being displayed is whole gallons. Fractions of a gallon will not be displayed
from this totalizer. The same will be true if the unit of measure is pounds,
kilograms, or cubic meters. The next item is FR. This is the flow rate of the gas
being dispensed and will be shown as gallons and fractions of a gallon, pounds and
fractions of a pound, kilograms and fractions of a kilogram, or cubic meters and
fractions of a cubic meter. The next item is the pressure in PSI (pounds per square
inch and will be indicated with either a + or a – sign). As previously stated, the right
side of the display has the same information for hose # two.
When the access code for level one has been entered via the keypad, the following
main menu will be displayed.
MAIN MENU
01 = CONFIG MENU 04 = DISPLAY MENU A
02 = SETUP MENU A 05 = DISPLAY MENU B
03 = SETUP MENU B CANCEL KEY = EXIT
When item 02 is selected from the MAIN MENU the following menu will be
displayed.
SET UP MENU A
01 = DATE & TIME 04 = PRICE PER UNIT
02 = FLOW RATES 05 = DISPLAY UNIT
03 = TIME DELAYS 06 = LOAD DEFAULT VALUES
Selecting item 04 from the SETUP MENU A will cause the following message to
be displayed.
0000
The system will automatically know where the decimal needs to be, therefore enter
just the price without a decimal. When the programming mode is exited the new
price will appear on the price display. Once the price has been entered, the display
will return to the SETUP MENU A.
All wiring must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
-WARNING-
The customer leads are located in the bottom of the dispenser in the explosion-proof
box. All unused wires must be capped or taped off.
This part of the manual is broken down into sections that will follow the menus of the
system. The manual will start with the main menu and will discuss the subjects of the menu
as they appear in the menu from top to bottom. Sub-menus will be addressed in the order in
which they are encountered in the menu.
GETTING STARTED
The dispenser covered by this manual can be programmed (i.e. change any operating
parameter that is changeable or loadable) by either of two methods. One method is via a
lap-top computer, the other is via a keypad and alpha/numeric LCD display. The keypad
and display is normally supplied with the dispenser and this method will be discussed first.
In either case the programming feature is a menu driven function. There are a few features
that are available via the lap-top computer that are not available via the keypad and
display. These items will be discussed in the section covering the computer method.
The information that will be seen on the alpha / numeric display when power for the
dispenser has been turned on will look similar to the following. For the purposes of
this manual, we will assume that no gas is being dispensed at the start of this
procedure.
The above information provides data about both hoses. The left side of the display has data
for hose # 1 and the right side has data for hose # 2. H1 TOTAL is the total quantity of gas
that has been dispensed through hose # 1. This quantity is in whole units. That is if the gas
is being dispensed in gasoline gallon equivalent the total being displayed is whole gallons.
Fractions of a gallon will not be displayed from this totalizer. The same will be true if the
unit of measure is pounds, kilograms, or cubic meters. The next item is FR. This is the flow
rate of the gas being dispensed and will be shown as gallons and fractions of a gallon,
pounds and fractions of a pound, kilograms and fractions of a kilogram, or cubic meters
and fractions of a cubic meter. The next item is the pressure in PSI (pounds per square inch
and will be indicated with either a + or a – sign). As previously stated, the right side of the
display has the same information for hose # 2.
The bottom two lines of the display is a message indicating what must be done in order to
gain access to system parameters. There are two levels of access to system parameters. For
discussion purposes these are identified as level zero (0) and level one (1). Level 0 is
restricted to viewing parameters and data only. No parameter may be changed from this
level. Level 1 will allow any parameter to be changed. The dispenser will be shipped with
a known access code that will allow the owner to have full access. Once the dispenser has
been installed and started up, it is highly recommended that the access codes be changed so
that only authorized personnel can have access to level one.
MAIN MENU
01 = CONFIG MENU 04 = DISPLAY MENU A
02 = SETUP MENU A 05 = DISPLAY MENU B
03 = SETUP MENU B CANCEL KEY = EXIT
To access any of these sub-menus, enter the two digit menu number followed by the
ENTER key. If the code for level 0 was entered, the only sub-menus available are 04 and
05. If any other menu is selected the following message will appear on the display.
Pressing the CLEAR key will take you back to the main menu. Regardless of where you
are in the menus, pressing the CLEAR key will always take you back to the previous menu.
Pressing the CANCEL key will always cause an exit from the programming mode of
operation.
01 CONFIG MENU
When you select item 01 the following menu is displayed.
CONFIGURATION MENU
01 = CAL PSI SENSORS
02 = PULSES PER UNIT
03 = MASS FACTOR
Selecting item 02 from the CONFIGURATION MENU will cause the following sub-menu
to be displayed.
PULSES PER UNIT OF MEASURE
1=H1 1 – 1 2=H1 10 – 1 3=H1 100 – 1
4=H2 1 – 1 5=H2 10 – 1 6=H2 100 – 1
MAKE YOUR SELECTION
An explanation of these selections follows. The selections with H1 are used for hose 1 (A)
and H2 are used for hose 2 (B). “1 – 1” means the dispenser will output one pulse for each
pulse that it receives from the Micro Motion meter. “10 – 1” means the dispenser will
output one pulse for each ten pulses that it receives from the Micro Motion meter. “100 –
1” means the dispenser will output one pulse for each one hundred pulses that it receives
from the Micro Motion meter.
When one of the six items listed is selected, that information is stored in the system and the
display returns to the CONFIGURATION MENU. You may now make another selection
from this menu or return to the MAIN MENU.
03 MASS FACTOR
Selecting item 03 from the CONFIGURATION MENU will display the following
message.
ENTER NEW MASS FACTOR
MINIMUM 1 DIGIT MAXIMUM 3 DIGITS
0000
The value that is entered must match the mass value that is set up in the Micro Motion
meter. After the initial set up of the dispenser, this value will rarely need to be changed.
Once the value needed has been entered followed by the ENTER key the display will
return to the CONFIGURATION MENU.
When item 02 is selected from the MAIN MENU the following menu will be displayed.
SET UP MENU A
01 = DATE & TIME 04 = PRICE PER UNIT
02 = FLOW RATES 05 = DISPLAY UNIT
03 = TIME DELAYS 06 = LOAD DEFAULT VALUES
Selecting 01 from the SETUP MENU A will cause the following message to be displayed.
ENTER DATE-TIME IN THE FOLLOWING FORMAT
YEAR = YY MONTH = MM DAY OF MONTH = DD
HOUR = HH MIN. = MM ENTER DATA
0000000000
The date or the time cannot be set separately. You must always enter data for both. As the
message indicates, two digits for year must be entered first followed by two digits for the
month (January being 01 and December being 12), two digits for the day of the month, two
digits for the hour (the clock is a 24 hour clock i.e. 1:00pm will be 13 for the hour), and
two digits for the minutes. Once the data has been entered pressing the ENTER key will
cause the date and time to be set. When the ENTER key is pressed the display will return
to the SETUP MENU A menu.
02 FLOW RATES
When item 02 is selected from the SETUP MENU A the following menu will be displayed.
FLOWRATES MENU
01=FR#A 02=FR#B 03=FR#C 04=FR#D 05=FR#E
06=FR#F 07=FR#G 08=FR#H 09=FR#I 10=FR#J
11=FR#K 12=FR#L MAKE A SELECTION
0000
When this message is displayed, enter the value that is needed for the flow rate that was
selected. As always the most significant digit must be entered first. As the data is entered it
will appear on the display where the “0000” is located and will be shifted from right to left
as the data is entered. Once the correct data has been entered, pressing the ENTER key will
store the value entered into the appropriate place in memory. The display will then revert
to the FLOWRATES MENU. Another flow rate can now be selected or pressing the
CLEAR key will take you back to SETUP MENU A.
03 TIME DELAYS
Selecting item 03 from the SETUP MENU A list will cause the following menu to be
displayed.
Refer to APPENDIX C (page 48) for a complete list of the timers and how they are used.
This section of the manual only describes how to enter the value of a timer.
00
Enter the value necessary based on the use of the specific timer selected. After the data has
been entered pressing the ENTER key will store the data into memory and the timer menu
will again be displayed. Another timer can now be selected or pressing the CLEAR key
will take you back to the SETUP MENU A.
Selecting item 04 from the SETUP MENU A will cause the following message to be
displayed.
0000
The purpose of this item may seem obvious but for clarification this is the selling price of
gas per unit of measure. This means that if the gas is sold in gasoline gallon equivalents
this is the price per gallon. If gas is sold in kilograms, this is the price per kilogram. The
system will automatically know where the decimal needs to be, therefore enter just the
price without a decimal. When the programming mode is exited the new price will appear
on the price display. Once the price has been entered, the display will return to the SETUP
MENU A.
Selecting item 05 from the SETUP MENU A will cause the following message to
be displayed.
For those that may not know, there are three units of measure that are most often used as
the basis for pricing and measuring gas for sale through a dispenser. These three units of
measure are as follows. GGE = gasoline gallon equivalent. In general terms this is the
amount of gas that it takes to be the equivalent energy of one gallon of gasoline. In the
USA it is generally accepted that it takes 5.66 pounds of gas to be equivalent to one gallon
of gasoline. Items 2 and 3, cubic feet and pounds are usually used for test purposes within
the USA. KG = kilograms. And CUBIC METERS is just what the term implies. If it is
necessary to change the DISPLAY UNIT OF MEASURE after the dispenser leaves the
factory, be aware that the Micro Motion setup must also be changed and the MASS
FACTOR in the dispenser program must be changed. When a selection is made the
information is immediately stored in memory and the display returns to the SETUP MENU
A.
When this item is selected the program loads a set of default values and displays the
following message.
When the CLEAR key is pressed the display returns to the SETUP MENU A. Since this is
the last item of the SETUP MENU A pressing the CLEAR key again will return the display
to the MAIN MENU.
SET UP MENU B
Selecting item 03 from the MAIN MENU list will cause the following menu to be
displayed.
SET UP MENU B
01= ACCESS CODE LEVEL 0
(Factory Code 1 2 3)
02=ACCESS CODE LEVEL 1
(Factory Code 7 8 9)
Access code level “0” is for use by personnel that may need to look at set up information
or data but does not need to be able to make changes to the system. Access code level “1”
is for use by personnel that have the authorization to make changes to operating parameters
in the dispenser program. When either of these items is selected the following message will
be displayed.
As with all other data, the most significant digit should be entered first. As the data is
entered it will be displayed on the bottom left of the display and will be shifted from right
to left as it is entered. When the desired code has been entered, pressing the ENTER key
will store the code in memory and the display will return to the SET UP MENU B.
DISPLAY MENU A
Selecting item 04 from the MAIN MENU will cause the following message to be
displayed.

This example indicates that the current mass factor is 5.66. This represents 5.66 pounds per
unit of measure, i.e. this is the normal mass used for a “gasoline gallon equivalent”.
DISPLAY MENU B
Selecting item 05 from the MAIN MENU list will cause the following menu to be
displayed.
In this example the dispenser will put out one pulse for each pulse it receives from the
Micro Motion meter.

DISPENSER PROGRAM
VERSION DSP 1.01.02 06-09-2004
MAN MACHINE INTERFACE PROGRAM
VERSION MMI 1.02.02 6-21-2004
This example displays the version number and date of the dispenser control program. It
also displays the version number and date of the program that allows you to communicate
with the disperser using the keypad and alpha / numeric display.
Using a computer to communicate with the dispenser program is somewhat different than
using the keypad and display. One of the differences is that more data can be displayed at a
time. And there are some things that can be done from the computer that cannot be done
via the keypad. Communications with a Micron Motion Meter can only be done via the
computer. There is a special method of communicating with Micron Motion that will be
covered in detail later in this manual. Another thing that can only be done from the
computer is a diagnostics routine and that will be discussed in detail later in this manual.
Another difference is an access code is not required with the computer. This approach has
been taken with the idea that anyone that has access to the internal components of the
dispenser and has a computer is authorized to access the operating parameters. The style of
communication is the same however. That is the communication protocol is menu driven.
In order to gain access with the computer, you must connect a communications cable from
the computer to the main control board connector P13 and the computer must have a
communications software program that will allow serial ASCII communications at 9600
baud, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, and even parity.
Once the computer is connected, access is gained by pressing the “enter” key. If the
computer is setup correctly, you should get the following menu.
DISPLAY DATA
When the “A” (upper case or lower case letters may be used) key is pressed the following
sub-menu will be displayed.

This information will be displayed and continually updated until the control (Ctrl) key and
the X key are pressed at the same time. AUTH represents the authorization input voltage
and in this case we are showing it to be on. HNDL represents the handle switch
When item # 2 is selected, the same information described for item # 1 will be displayed
only this time it will be for hose # 2.
(In this space will be a message line from the following list.)
When item # 5 is selected the following data will be displayed. The meaning of the column
headings follows. H# is the hose number. QTY (quantity) is the volume of gas dispensed
during this transaction. MONEY is the value of the gas dispensed during this transaction.
TEMP is the ambient temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. PRES is the ending pressure
reading for this transaction. YR is the year portion of the date. MO is the month of the
year. DA is the day of the month. H is the hour of the day (remember the clock is a 24 hour
clock). M is the minute of the hour. And EC is the ending code for the transaction. The
ending code in this format is a numeric number. The meaning of those codes is in the
following table.
1 = NO START FLOW
2 = EXCESS FLOW
3 = LOW FLOW (NOT ENOUGH GAS IN STORAGE FOR A COMPLETE FILL)
4 = NORMAL
5 = STOP SWITCH PUSHED
6 = AUTHORIZATION REMOVED

The values listed for target is the pressure that the vehicle would be filled to when the
ambient temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit. TCP is the TEMPERATURE
COMPENSATED PRESSURE to which the vehicle will be filled when the temperature is
something other than 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The illustration above indicates that the
temperature is above 70.

Please refer to APPENDIX B (page 47) for the information on how the flow rates are
used.
TV represents TIMER VALUE. TV1, TV2, TV3, and TV4 are all in seconds. The range
for timers 1 through 3 is one to thirty seconds. The range for timer 4 is ten to ninety
seconds. PT represents PULSE TIMER. The pulse timer controls the “on” time of the pulse
output measured in milliseconds. The range for this timer is one to twenty milliseconds.
Please refer to APPENDIX C (page 48) for more information on the timers and their use.
When item B is selected from the main menu the following sub-menu will be displayed.
You can now enter the price that is to be the selling price of the gas. When the desired
price has been entered, pressing the ENTER key will cause the entered price to be stored in
memory. Should a mistake be made entering the price there are three ways to correct the
error. One method is to press the ENTER key and then select this item from the menu and
enter the correct data followed by the ENTER key. Another method is to enter at least four
zeros, enter the correct data, and then press the ENTER key. The reason this second
NOTE:
For the purposes of this discussion we will assume that “Hyper Terminal” is being used as
the computer communications software package. We will also assume that the person
following this procedure has a working knowledge of Prolink and its use.
When the above message appears, follow the procedure below to establish communications
with the Micro Motion meter.
1. Using the mouse cursor click on the icon that disconnects the computer from the
communications port.
2. Now minimize the Hyper Terminal program.
3. Open the Prolink software package.
4. Establish communications with the desired meter.
When communications with the meter is finished the following procedure must be
followed. If this procedure is not followed the dispenser will not allow gas to be dispensed.
If this occurs power for the dispenser will need to be turned off and then back on for the
unit to work.
1. Disconnect communications from the meter.
2. Close the Prolink software program
3. Restore the Hyper Terminal software
4. Using the connect icon, reconnect to the communications port
5. Press the CTRL & X keys together. This will cause the SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION MENU to be displayed.
When item # 4 is selected from the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION MENU the following
message will be displayed.
When item 1, 2, 3, or 4 in this list is selected the following type of information will be
displayed.

HOSE # 2
This example indicates that item G was selected and the current data for flow rate “G” is
0035. If this value needs to be changed then enter the new data followed by the ENTER
key. If the data does not need to be changed, simply press the space bar and the display will
return to the flow-rate menu. The same philosophy holds true for all the flow-rate values.
When any of these items is selected the information is stored and the menu is re-displayed.
When your selections are complete, CTRL + X will return you to the configuration menu.
1 = TIMER VALUE # 1
2 = TIMER VALUE # 1
3 = TIMER VALUE # 1

CTRL + X WILL CAUSE AN EXIT FROM ANY ROUTINE
If the value is correct simply press the space bar and the value will not be changed and the
menu will again be displayed. If however a new value is needed, type the new value
followed by the enter key and the new value will be stored and the timer menu will be
displayed again. The CTRL and X keys will take you back to the configuration menu.
When item # 8 is selected from the configuration menu, the following menu will be
displayed.
The reason for this menu is to provide output pulses from the dispenser that will be
compatible with other data gathering equipment. An example of this need is if the meter is
transmitting 1000 pulses for each unit of measure and the other data gathering equipment
needs only 100 pulses for each unit of measure. In this example item # 2 or # 5 (depending
on the hose) would be selected. In this example the dispenser will transmit 1 pulse for
every 10 pulses it receives from the meter.
When item # A is selected from the configuration menu the following message will be
displayed. Following the message the current mass factor will also be displayed as follows.
0074
If the current mass factor is correct, use the CTRL + X to exit from this routine. If the
current value is not correct, enter the correct value followed by the enter key.
Item B will load a set of default parameters that is burned into the program chip. If changes
are made to the default setup, it is highly recommended that a record be kept of those
changes. Please note that if this feature is used all changes that have been made to the
setup will be erased.
1. Insure that all the wires are properly connected and that the unit is properly
grounded.
2. Apply power to the unit. The LCD displays should come on.
3. Remove the nozzle then push the start button. The unit should go through
lamp test. (NOTE: Lamp test is when the displays go to all 8's and then to
0's.) The price display will show a price that is set at the factory. If you
press the ‘Start’ button after you remove the nozzle there will be a short
delay while the dispenser checks for all safety and pressures are ready to go.
4. Check valve for proper operation. You should here the solenoid valves click
when they energize.
5. Check dispenser for leaks. The dispenser is checked for leaks in the factory
but shipment may move things around and you should recheck for leaks.
In the event of a drive off and the hose breaks away from the dispenser:
2. Check for leaks and damage that may have resulted from the drive off.
3. De-pressurize the remaining short hose through the bleeder valve in the
dispenser. Depressurize the long hose by moving the three-way valve from
fill to vent until the pressure is gone.
On the dispenser termination board there is duplicate numbers for side A and side
B. For this Sequence of Operation we will only be referring to the side ‘A’ so we
will not have the letter ‘A’ or ‘B’ with the terminal number.
Before the dispenser can deliver gas there must be an authorize signal to the
Authorize Input. This signal has to be either a jumper wire from terminal #L1 to #14
or you will need to loop #L1 threw a control device IE: cardreader or console that
has a normally open (N/O) switch. When the control device decides that it is OK to
fuel it will close the N/O switch sending voltage back to #14 and the dispenser will
reset after the nozzle switch is closed and the “Start” button is pushed.
The nozzle switch is located on a button that is behind the dummy nozzle holder. If
the nozzle is in the rest position the switch is open, if you remove the nozzle from
the rest position it will close the switch and arm the “Start” button. Pressing the
“Start” button will start the reset sequence. At this time the dispenser displays will
reset going to 88888 then to 00000, then as soon as the dispensers starts the reset
sequence it will send a high voltage (120VAC) to output #8. Output #8 will stay
high (120VAC) until either the dispenser is finished fueling or the nozzle switch is
opened. Wire #8 is a 120VAC output line that is used for an in-use indicator on card
readers.
The vehicle valve will open as soon as the reset is complete. The vehicle valve will
modulate as needed to control pressure to the vehicle. If at any time the dispenser
sees that it is full or the nozzle switch is open, the vehicle valve will shut off and
stay off.
If during the fill the minimum flow rate is reached for a given time Bank 2 valve
will open. If during the fill Bank 2 valve is open and the minimum flow rate is
reached for a given time Bank 3 valve will open.
If at any time the dispenser sees the stop flow rate it will start monitoring the
pressure closely by stopping flow and looking at the pressure. The flow will
continue if more pressure is needed. The vehicle valve will modulate the pressure to
allow the dispenser to look at vehicle pressure. If hose ‘B” receives a start sequence
it will independently sequence the gas with out any input or consequences from side
“A”. The only place both hoses are tied together is at the inlet to the dispenser. If the
supply tubing is not sized right or the pressure is not sufficient it will have an effect
of the dispenser rotating to high bank too fast. If the dispenser ever receives an over
pressure the overpressure switch will stop flow. If the pressure drops the switch
will open and let flow continue. The over pressure switch setting is set just below
the relief valve setting. A pressure transducer inside the dispenser sends the pressure
signal to the head via 0 to 5 volt signal. This signal is proportional to the pressure.
Reverse this process for re-installation. The sensor and transmitter are a
matched set and re-programming of the sensor will be required if a different
sensor is installed in the same place. (Call TGT for help with re-
programming.)
Contact the factory or local distributor for these changes. Micro Motion
Transmitters communicate through a hand held unit called Rosemont 275 or
Micro Motion software called Pro Link. The software and Rosemont 275
can be purchased from the local Micro Motion salesman or Tulsa Gas
Technologies.
DISPLAY FACE
Use a dispenser key to open the door of the display enclosure. The display is
bolted to the inside of the door. Use the plastic standoffs that are provided
to give proper spacing and isolation on the board.
HOSES
NOZZLE
1. De-pressurize the hose, vent any pressure that may be in the nozzle and
valve and unthread nozzle using a back up wrench on the nipple or hose that
the nozzle is attached to. Check the o-ring in the end of the hose that is
inserted to the treads of the nozzle and replace as needed. Any time you
remove the nozzle check for corrosion on the threads. Good electrical
connection at this point is necessary for a ground path back to earth ground.
MAINTENANCE
3. Keeping the dispenser clean will prolong appearance of stainless steel and
all moving parts. A compressor that makes oil will build up at the dispenser
hose. This should be kept clean at all times.
5. If the system has control air the water separator must be drained on a
frequent basis.
6. The nozzle jaws should be looked at daily for wear and replaced as needed.
7. There are very few moving parts on a CNG dispenser; but, as the system is
used, small leaks will appear now and then from the expansion and
contraction of tubing and fitting. Leaks check the dispenser on a regular
basis as needed. DO NOT USE ANY AMMONIA BASED SOAP. This
will cause corrosion to the stainless steel used in the dispenser.
8. The pneumatic operated ball valves located in the valve panel will require
some attention to the stem packing now and then. Slightly snugging the
packing nut will stop any leak from this area.
Gas leak inside the dispenser: Use non-ammonia soap or SNOOP© (From
SwageLok) to locate the leak. Replace the part or tighten the fitting that is loose.
Depressurize dispenser before attempting to re-tighten any tube fitting or pipe
fitting.
Dispenser has display but will not reset: Wire #14 is the reset signal to the
dispenser. If you are using a POS controller, it MUST send 120v to #14 to reset the
dispenser. If you have 120v at #14, check the handle switch for correct operation.
If the handle switch is working properly, contact the local service technician for
help trouble shooting the Motherboard.
Dispenser will reset, but no gas will flow: First, check to see if the manual shut
off valves under the dispenser and on the side of the dispenser are on. You should
hear the solenoid valve "click" after reset. (Some card readers control the solenoid
valve. The card reader must be in the bypass mode for this test.) If you here a click,
make sure the sequence valve panel is sending you gas. If you are sure of gas
pressure, remove solenoid valve and see if any debris is in the valve.
NOTE: You do not have to remove the solenoid valve coil to inspect for
debris; simply unscrew the nut on top of the coil and remove the valve from
the bottom. but DO NOT energize the solenoid valve coil without the valve in
place. This will permanently damage the coil.
On a unit with a pneumatic operated ball valve, visually see if the valve pointer is
moving when the valve is energized. If the pointer is not moving, check air supply.
If it is established that the valve is bad, you may send it to TGT for repair, or order a
valve repair kit from TGT.
Hose leaking oil through the jacket: The CNG hoses are made of a thermoplastic
and oil will permeate the hose in low quantities. The outer jacket is pin pricked to
let the oil escape, along with any pressure that may leak between the jackets. This
is not a failure of the hose, but you will need to replace the hose if the oil becomes
too much to handle the hose safely.
Use a pulse counter on the pulse output to see if you are getting the pulses out, or an
analog voltmeter can be used by watching the deflection of the needle for a pulse
indication.
No pulse can cause the dispenser to not deliver fuel. After thirty (90) seconds the
missing pulse detector will cut off the flow. Also, a low flow rate of less than the
rated low flow cutoff flow rate will cause no pulse out of the dispenser.
If there is no response from any test, call TGT or the local service technician for
further help with trouble shooting the Motherboard.
5. Enter this reading into zero offset value. If reading is minus, a minus sign
must be entered preceding the value. A plus sign is assumed if a minus sign
is not entered.
8. If reading is less than gauge, increase span value and recheck reading.
9. If reading is greater than gauge, decrease span value and recheck reading.
There are four timer values that can be loaded (changed). These timer values are
identified as: TIMER VALUE # 1, TIMER VALUE # 2, TIMER VALUE # 3, and
TIMER VALUE # 4.
Timer value #1 is used in the sequencing process from low bank (bank 1) to mid
bank (bank 2) and from mid bank (bank 2) to high bank (bank 3) when the hose
pressure is less than the target pressure. The time allowed for this value is from 1 to
60 seconds.
When the hose flow rate becomes equal to or less than the value of FLOWRATE (A
for hose # 1) or (G for hose # 2), a timer is started using timer value # 1. When the
flow rate has remained below the value of flow rate “A” or “G” consistently for the
length of timer value # 1, the system will sequence from bank # 1 to Bank # 2.
Timer value # 1 is also used in the same manner with FLOWRATES (B for hose #
1) or (H for hose # 2) to sequence from mid bank (bank 2) to high bank (bank 3).
Timer value # 2 is used instead of timer value # 1 when the measured vehicle
pressure is higher than the target pressure. The time allowed for this value is from 1
to 60 seconds.
Timer value # 3 is used when the system has detected a vehicle full condition. It is
the time that the system will wait before retesting the vehicle for a full condition.
The time allowed for this value is from 1 to 60 seconds.
Timer value # 4 is used to set the pulser output time duration. The time allowed for
this value is from 1 to 20 milliseconds.
