SECTION 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1-1. SCOPE
This manual is provided to assist you in installing Islander PLUS / ICR PLUS. The system must be
installed as described in this manual to ensure the system reliability and proper operation.
This manual includes a general and functional description of the products, their main components,
installation requirements and procedures.
This manual is intended for qualified authorized installers of Islander PLUS / ICR PLUS and its
components. It is also intended for the Island electrician.
This document refers to Islander PLUS (including the model with 8 mechanical hoses) and ICR
PLUS. Whenever Islander PLUS is mentioned it also refers to ICR PLUS with the exceptions
mentioned in section 1-5.2 below.
1-2. DESCRIPTION
The Islander PLUS is a fuel control and data acquisition system. Islander PLUS system is
self-contained in a forecourt compatible and weather-resistant cabinet installed on top of a pedestal.
Islander PLUS (see Figure 1-1) is a core component in Gasboy’s solution for Home Base Refueling
Station (Home Base Station). Islander PLUS provides the central function of Site Controller. It
also fulfills other essential services on the Island such as Vehicle/Driver Identification System
(FuelPoint PLUS), Transaction data storage, Forecourt devices control and more. Its ergonomic
design, as well as its user-friendly operating program, enables fast and accurate service for the
driver in the refueling site.
Islander PLUS can control up to 8 mechanical hoses or up to 64 electronic hoses. The hoses may
be linked together or standalone.
Islander PLUS is equipped with the OrPT, a Payment Panel and communication receptacle. The
Payment Panel is equipped with an alphanumeric LCD (graphic LCD, optional) and a keyboard to
interface with the client. This enables the Islander PLUS to support all common refueling
identification devices such as: Vehicle/Driver Identification Unit (FuelPoint PLUS), magnetic
cards, contact-less RFID tags, keypad entry and others.

1-3. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1-3.1. Islander PLUS System
Islander PLUS is an innovative product that enables refueling in Home Base stations for fleets
authorized vehicles or drivers. Islander PLUS electronically locks all dispensers and pumps thereby
ensuring that only appropriately authorized vehicles and plants receive the required fuel. The
system also ensures accurate recording of each transaction (see Figure 1-2).
The heart of the Home Base Station solution is the SiteOmat automation software. SiteOmat runs
on an embedded operating system on the OrCU (Orpak Controller Unit). OrCU is an embedded
hardware platform designed to survive the harsh gas station environment. It uses a solid state Flash
disk and RTC (Real Time Clock) with back-up, along with surge suppressors for transient and noise
immunity. The system also includes power fail recovery mechanisms.
1-3.2. Vehicle Identification – FuelPoint PLUS
Vehicle Identification is an important option for maximal control and savings on fuel expenditure.
The dispenser is authorized to refuel after a positive identification of the vehicle and only while the
nozzle is inside the fuel inlet of the identified vehicle. All transaction information is automatically
recorded. A combined vehicle and driver identification is also possible for tight tracking.
1-3.3. Remote Web Access
Remote Web-based capabilities for monitoring, management and maintenance are available. A
standard PC with Internet Browser (Explorer) is used for management of the site either locally or
remotely (secured). There is no need for special management software; thanks to the built-in Web
server technology integrated into the station controller and a large variety of communication links is
supported – both wired and wireless.
1-3.4. Head Office
Centralized management is provided by the optional Fleet and Fuel Head Office server. The Fleet
and fuel Head Office consolidates the data from multiple sites and generates reports, including
exception reports. It also enables control of the limits and restrictions placed on the various fleet
vehicles. Furthermore, authorized fleet personnel are able to log-in remotely and are always in
control. Head office enables authorized users to control and manage wet stock inventory on all
stations including orders, deliveries and reports.
1-3.5. Restrictions and Limits
Control of a fleet’s fuel expenses can be maximized by defining limits (day, week, month),
maximum number of refueling (day, week, month) and setting restrictions (days of the week, fuel
type, stations, time intervals). In case of system configuration for multiple sites, the centralized
Fleet Head Office needs to synchronize the data between all sites so that the limits can be applied to
a whole system rather than to an individual site. In case of communication failure, the specific site
will be able to refuel for a predefined grace period (parameter) using the most recent limits stored in
its database.

1-3.7.1. Refueling Scenario with FuelPoint PLUS
A motorist stops for fuel at the station. His authorization device for the fueling transaction is a
FuelPoint PLUS mounted in his car. The client lifts the nozzle and inserts it in the car inlet.
The FuelPoint PLUS information is automatically read and sent to the Site Controller (OrCU)
for authentication and approval. Upon approval, the fueling transaction starts, at the end of
which the transaction data is kept internally and transfer to the Fuel Head Office (FHO) for
future billing. Once the refueling is completed, the motorist replaces the nozzle to pump.
1-3.7.2. Refueling Scenario with Magnetic Cards
A motorist stops for fuel at the station. His authorization device for the fueling transaction is a
magnetic card. The client swipes the card through the magnetic card reader on the Payment
Panel.
The magnetic card information is read and sent to the Site Controller (OrCU) for authentication
and approval. The client lifts the nozzle and inserts it in the car inlet. Upon approval, the
fueling transaction starts, at the end of which the transaction data is kept internally. The data is
transferred to the Fuel Head Office (FHO) for future billing.
The client may add more data to the transaction, by manually entering the information using the
Payment Panel keyboard, or by scanning a barcode in the Barcode Reader (optional) on the front
panel. Once the refueling is completed, the motorist replaces the nozzle to pump.
In both options, the motorist may print a transaction ticket from the Islander PLUS printer
(optional).

1-4. ISLANDER PLUS STRUCTURE
1-4.1. Main Components
Following is a short description of the Islander PLUS main sub units (see Figure 1-3 and
Figure 1-5):
Orpak Controller Unit (OrCU)
Orpak Controller Unit (OrCU) is a complete
forecourt controller with its own embedded
operating system. The unit consists of an
embedded hardware platform with a solid state
Flash hard disk, Real Time Clock (RTC) with
back up, along with surge suppressors for
transient and noise immunity
OrCU features two separate and isolated networks
(TCP/IP over Ethernet). One network links the
Islander PLUS system components. The second
network is intended for external remote
communication (Head Office, 3rd party systems).
This network is protected by SSL security.
OrCU includes a built-in server for Web access trough an internet browser (Explorer).
Wireless Gateway Terminal (WGT) (Optional)
WGT (Wireless Gateway Terminal) receives both
DataPass and FuelOpass vehicle data, decrypts the
information and transmits it to the Station automation
system in a secure manner over an RF signal.
To obtain maximal grid availability, several WGT units
are installed at the station to create a robust 'mesh'
network. This setup enables the RF signal to travel through various routes and bypass possible
interferences (such as a big truck/bus).
The units that provide data to the WGT are:
DataPass - DataPass is a miniature unit that connects to the vehicle bus and captures data from the
vehicle CPU/BUS. It then transmits this data to the nearest Wireless Gateway Terminal (WGT) in
the forecourt.
FuelOpass - FuelOpass is a passive vehicle identification tag for refueling. Its encrypted data
includes the account to be charged and is read by the Nozzle Reader device using RFID contactless
technology.
Nozzle Reader (NR) - Nozzle Reader is a self contained unit installed on the nozzle which reads
the FuelOpass data using contactless technology.
