WARNING
The device must be installed under a roof or in any environment, protected from rain.
The device must be mounted vertically with the grommets facing down.
Installation operations are carried out with the box open and accessible electrical contacts.
All these operations have to be done with the unit isolated from the power supply to prevent
electrical shock!
All work related to electrical installation must be performed by qualified installer electrical or
electronic. Wear insulated gloves for electrician.
As a general rule of electrical safety is always recommended to power the device protecting
the line with:
¦ switch/breaker with adeguate ampacity to the power line;
¦ RCD (Residual Current Device) of  mA.
Devices must be professionally installed by qualified and authorized installer and it is the
professional installer’s responsibility to make sure the device is operated within local country

MCBOX1.5 ETL
Translated from Italian
In accordance with current regulation only extension cable that are labelled for
outdoor use and have a sufficient ampacity should be used outdoor.
Never touch the plug and socket with wet hands. The connection between plug and
socket must stay away from water.
Before each use, check that the power cable for damage.
Replace immediately the cable connection to the network if it is damaged.
If the device is sold without cable to provide periodic verification of the circuit
grounding in accordance with current regulations.
Do not switch the dispensing system on if the network connection cable or important
parts of the apparatus are damaged, such as the inlet/outlet pipe, nozzle or safety
devices.
Replace the damaged parts immediately.
It is the installer's responsibility to provide for the accessories needed for a safe and
proper operation. The choice of accessories unfit for use, may result in damage to the
device and/or personal injury.
To maximize performance and prevent damage which may impair the functionality of
the device, require genuine accessorvies.
Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or if you feel a shock. Do not use
equipment until you identify and solve the problem.
PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY SYSTEM.
Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency
approvals and create safety hazards.
MC BOXETL electronic panels are designed for the private distribution of fuel (or other
liquids). All of the models in the serie are characterised by the same form for which the MC BOX
ETL is known: a solid metal structure, high-accuracy measurements in the dispensed product
and PC soware that is designed for simplicity.
This electronic panel allows you to control and monitor private use fuel consumption via a fuel
dispenser with pump and flow meter.
The MC  system consists of a multi-user panel, dedicated soware and the option accessories
for data transfer to and from the PC, using a new generation manager key.

MC BOXETL
The MC  system is composed of various devices:
◊ an electronic controller to manage fuel dispensing, equipped with:
- displays;
- keypad;
- electronic key reader;
◊ electronic user keys give access to supply and a manager key which is used for supply
configuration and discharge;
◊ a series of status sensors (e.g. dispenser nozzle positioning or tank level sensor alarm status);
◊ a flow meter - pulser that emits counter pulses to be processed by the controller;
◊ a pump that is started and stopped by the controller;
◊ client-server software for system configuration and monitoring;
◊ a key reader connected to the PC by means of a USB port.
MC BOX .ETLmust be correctly configured before dispensing any fluid. The number of type
of configuration parameters are established by the system administrator.
The basic configurations are:
◊ request of recognition of an electronic user key or a PIN CODE, or both;
◊ Creation and configuration of a tank, of a fuel dispenser;
◊ creation of a driver database
◊ configuration of the system with relevant access modes for the drivers in the relevant fuel pumps.
These configuration parameters can be modified depending on the manager needs. By means
of the software configuration page (see manual SSM) the administrator sets up the various
parameters.

Translated from Italian
The quantity of fuel that can be dispensed is configured via software and it can be:
◊ free without PRESET;
◊ with PRESET.
Choosing preselection mode (PRESET), the operation is the following:
◊ supply of a quantity preset by the manager (PANEL PRESET), that can be changed by
the driver as well.
The bidirectional transfer of data such as seing, database and supplies can be done with a new
generation manager key only.
The panel is easy to install and adequately protected. The electrical connections are easily
accessible. The unit can be supplied complete with flow meter to be installed in line with the pump.
