be taken at all times during installation and operation of the OMEGA units. In addition to
normal electrical precautions, the following points should be noted during installation.
CInstallation must comply with National Electrical Code, as well as Federal,
State/Provincial, Local, and all applicable codes.
CHigh voltages are present in the OMEGA components, as well as the equipment to
which it is attaching. To prevent personal injury or equipment damage,
disconnect all power before proceeding with installation.
COMEGA must be installed in nonvolatile, noncombustible, nonexplosive areas.
Typically, this is where the field wiring comes into the building. The box must be
protected from severe vibration, extreme temperatures and excessive humidity.
CAll OMEGA and associated equipment must be installed in nonhazardous
locations and must be UL-listed, using standard communication.
For Use in USA
Installation of the OMEGA and associated equipment must comply with the requirements

OMEGA2/OMEGA Lite Universal Site Interface Installation Guide
OMEGA2AND OMEGA LITE USI
Introduction to OMEGA
The OMEGA is a universal site controller designed with flexibility in mind. The OMEGA2
and OMEGA Lite both have the ability to connect to POS devices/applications and to
dispensers and their associated card readers. W e refer to the POS connectivity as the
“front end” and the part of the OMEGA that connects to the dispensers as the “pump
side.”
On the front end, both OMEGA versions are designed to connect to a POS, such as a
VeriFone Ruby system, and run various brands of dispensers. Both versions use the
PAM 1000 protocol to control the dispensers. The pump side is capable of running up
to three brands of dispensers (both domestic and foreign) at the same time.
OMEGA Lite – A direct replacement for the PAM 1000. It connects to a POS, such
as VeriFone, on Port 4 and to the Gilbarco TW Universal DBox(es). It can run up to
36 fueling positions when using all three ports (Ports 1, 2 and 3).
OMEGA2– PAM 1000 replacement, enhanced with its own built-in DBox boards.
These boards control a variety of dispensers, as well as a card reader, eliminating
the need for a B&B box. The OMEGA2 can also connect to price signs (up to two
brands at the same time) and a tank gauge system, such as Veeder-Root, to do
reconciliation.

Mounting and Connecting to the OMEGA
Refer to System Installation Warnings earlier in this manual before proceeding.
Either version of the OMEGA may be mounted on a shelf or wall. If mounting on a shelf,
ensure that it is sturdy enough to support the OMEGA. If wall mounting, attach the
supplied brackets and remove the rubber feet. Then, using appropriate screws and/or
wall anchors, attach the OMEGA to the wall.
Connecting to the OMEGA Lite
POS Connection
Referring to the OMEGA Lite Diagram on the next page, connect to Port 4, next to
the Network Connection.
• If connecting to a standard PC – Use a standard NULL-MODEM cable.
• If connecting to a VeriFone POS system – Referring to the VeriFone
RS232 Adaptor Diagram, which follows, use an RJ45 to DB9 (male)
adaptor to connect to the VeriFone cable.
• If connecting to other non-PC POS systems – Referring to the RS232 to
OMEGA Diagram, which follows, connect using the specified connector pin-
outs.
Dispenser Connection
Referring to the OMEGA Lite Diagram, which follows, identify Port 1,Port 2 and
Port 3. These are all DB9 (male) connectors which connect directly to a Gilbarco
Universal Data Distribution Box (TW). A standard serial cable, using all nine
wires, may be used to connect the OMEGA Lite to the Gilbarco DBox. Using all
three channels, the OMEGA Lite can control up to 36 dispensers.
• Port 1 controls the dispensers on Channel 1.
• Port 2 controls the dispensers on Channel 2.
• Port 3 controls the dispensers on Channel 3.
See Start-Up and Configuration in the next section of this manual for information
on logging in to the OMEGA2web site to configure the dispensers.

Connecting to the OMEGA2
POS Connection
Referring to the OMEGA2 Diagram – Front View, which follows, connect to the
POS Port.
• If connecting to a standard PC – Use a standard NULL-MODEM cable.
• If connecting to a VeriFone POS system – Referring to the VeriFone
RS232 Adaptor Diagram, which follows, use an RJ45 to DB9 (male)
adaptor to connect to the VeriFone cable.
• If connecting to other non-PC POS systems – Referring to the RS232 to
OMEGA Diagram, which follows, connect using the specified connector pin-
outs.
Dispenser Connection
Referring to the OMEGA2 Diagram – Top View, on the next page, locate the
appropriate DBox boards inside the OMEGA2. The position closest to the center
of the OMEGA2is Channel 1, the next position is Channel 2, the next is Channel
3, and the last position is the Reader Board. W hen shipped, the OMEGA2 is only
equipped with the DBox board(s) and/or Reader Board specified for the order.
Since the OMEGA2 can accommodate mixed brands, refer to the brand-specific
board and the corresponding wiring diagram for that board, which follows later in
this manual. See Start-Up and Configuration in the next section of this manual
for information on logging in to the OMEGA2web site to configure the dispensers.
ATG & Price Signs
Referring to the RS232 to Omega Diagram, which follows, create a cable to
these specifications. Referring to the OMEGA2 Diagram – Front View, on the next
page, connect to the Auxiliary Connections Port(s). See Start-Up and
Configuration in the next section of this manual for information on logging in to
the OMEGA2web site to configure the ATG and/or price signs.

Startup and Configuration
After installing the OMEGA Lite or OMEGA2, apply power. Once the unit is initialized, the
“Ready” light on the front panel should begin blinking. This can take a couple of
minutes.
To configure the unit, connect to the Ethernet, using IP address 192.168.0.250 (default)
and port number 10010 (e.g., http://192.168.0.250:10010) The login is:
User admin
Password pie.omega2
A web page will appear. Set up the OMEGA, following online instructions. The OMEGA
Lite should be set for “Gilbarco” ONLY. The OMEGA2 should be set according to the
options installed. Enter the correct number of fueling positions for each channel of
dispensers.
Diagnostics
To access OMEGA diagnostics, use either Telnet or HyperTerminal for connectivity. Set
up a TCP/IP connection, using the configured IP address (default: 192.168.0.250) and
