Observe the following mechanical precautions:
During installation, take care that the unit is well supported and
cannot fall over.
Take care with handling sharp edges, wear gloves where
required.
Make sure that the service area is thoroughly clean when
servicing. Dust and dirt entering the components may reduce the life span of the
components and can affect operation.
Electrical Safety
Observe the following electrical precautions:
Always turn off the power to the unit before commencing work on
any wiring. Never touch wiring or components inside the high voltage area with
the power on. Be aware that capacitors and back up batteries may power the
unit even after mains power is removed.
Always turn off the power to the unit at the mains switch before
removing or replacing software or memory ICs.
Always take basic anti-static precautions when working on the
electronics, i.e., wearing a wristband with an earth strap.
Environmental Safety
Observe the following environmental precautions:
Take care that you clean up after working on the unit.
Remove and carefully dispose of any waste.
Any spills must be cleaned up and disposed of in an approved manner.
Any spillage of fuel must be handled to minimise the risk of fire or
explosion. Major spills must be reported to the local environmental authorities.
Site Safety
Observe the following precautions when on site:
Personal safety is the responsibility of the site manager and technician.
Personal protective equipment appropriate to the situation is to be worn and if
required, the working area appropriately cordoned off with cones, tape and/or
barriers.
When working on or near flammable goods areas take all
precautions to avoid sources of ignition.
These instructions are intended as a guide only. It is the
responsibility of the technician and the site manager to manage safety in
accordance with local regulations and best safe site practice.

Pre-installation Checks
Transit Damage
Once the unit is received on site, inspect the unit for the following:
Shipping damage to housing, display or any other equipment.
Water damage to components
Report any damage to the transport company and to the help desk.
Take photographs if required.
Tampering
Inspect for:
Evidence of tampering with the unit especially card reader or unauthorised
wiring.
Report any concerns to the help desk.
Take photographs if required.
Vibration
Inspect terminals, plugs and IC chips to check they are securely in place and have
not loosened due to vibration.
Site Issues
Check that all wiring and pipework has been installed correctly and is undamaged.
Report issues to site manager.
Inappropriate installation may void the warranty. If uncertain, contact
your Compac agent for advice.
Site Preparation
Refer to the Site Audit document if supplied.
To ensure maximum operating life, care should be taken when installing the
ComTank components. Considerations should include:
The card reader and PIN pad should face away from the prevailing wind
especially in dusty or wet areas.
In areas experiencing extremes of weather (heat, cold, wind, rain, salt spray
etc.) consideration should be given to installing additional shelter.
The rear of the displays and the electrical components must be protected from
dust, water or high humidity. Any protective surrounds that are constructed must
also allow for adequate cooling.
Inappropriate installation may void the warranty. If uncertain, contact
your Compac agent for advice.

Mounting Preparation
Compac Industries Ltd.

www.compac.co.nz
Mounting Preparation
The ComTank unit needs to be mounted to a flat, steel plate prepared with a cut-out
and fastener holes as per drawing below. A steel template marked with the
appropriate dimensions is available as an option from Compac. Holes are drilled to
clear M6 (6 mm diameter) studs.
Ensure your mounting plate is thin enough to allow you to put the washers and nuts
on the end of the 20mm long studs.
The plate the ComTank is mounted on should be rust protected if it is not made from
stainless steel.
Ensure there is sufficient access to allow the installer and service people to
comfortably remove the cover from the rear of the unit and perform service work. A
minimum clearance of 850 mm is recommended.
Figure 1 ComTank Panel Cutout. Note: Do not cut to outer lines.
If installing ComTank pumps as part of the installation, refer to the ComTank Pump
Installation Sheet for pump, display and nozzle holder mounting instructions.

Precautions if Using Generator Power
Compac Industries Ltd.
Page 10
www.compac.co.nz
Electrical Preparation
The ComTank control unit requires its own wiring from the power supply. Power and
communication cables must meet or exceed local regulation requirements.
If no local regulations exist, we recommend as a minimum:
Power: 3 core 2.5 mm2Steel Wire Armour (SWA) cable
Comms (standard current loop): 2 core 1.5 mm2Steel Wire Armour (SWA) cable
The length of the communications cable must not exceed 100 metres.
Precautions if Using Generator Power
The power output from onsite generators can cause power spikes that may damage
electrical components within the cabinet. When connecting to sites powered by
generators, please take the following precautions:
Install a power conditioner. Although generators are fitted with power
regulators, most are not filtered sufficiently for powering sensitive electrical
components. We recommend installing a commercial power conditioner
and/or UPS between the generator and the unit.
Starting up. Before starting a generator, make sure the power to the unit is
turned off.
Start the generator, let the generator reach stable operating speed and wait
30 seconds before reconnecting the power to the unit.
For units where the generator starts and stops on demand, install a delay
timer or PLC to automatically isolate the unit until the operating speed and
consistent power output is achieved.
Isolate the unit before shutting down the generator.
