Introduction Syn-Tech Systems, Inc. has developed a ruggedized, intrinsically safe Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), for use in fuel dispensing applications for the aviation fueling community. This system includes various components that are used to provide user interaction, data input, and access control to issue points by controlling valves or deadman control systems. Collectively these components are known as the Fuelmaster® Automated Data Capture System (ADC).
ADC System Overview The ADC system requires more than just a UIT to control fueling. Introduction The ADC System User Interface Terminal (UIT) is designed to operate on Microsoft Windows CE. Windows CE provides an interface that will look and feel like your desktop PC and enables you to do the following: • Authorize and record transactions using either a Prokee® or valid credit card. • Access, view and edit transaction data.
ILLUSTRATION 1 – ADC SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE SNAP over Bluetooth-compatible interface SNAP over RS-485 Truck Cradle UIT RS-232 Printer ActiveSync over TCP/IP SNAP over RS-485 TIM (default port # is 2345 but user configurable) Antenna cable Desktop Cradle 2.4 GHz RF USB TCP/IP over PPP Central Controller Printer Serial cable (Legacy ADCTIM proprietary) 2.
System Architecture Overview The UIT communicates with the vehicle-charging cradle via a 3DES Encrypted Bluetoothcompatible interface (wireless) or a serial (RS-485) connection if wireless connectivity is unavailable or prohibited (software configurable). Once a wireless connection has been established from the UIT to the cradle, SNAP (Scaleable Node Address Protocol) is used for passing data between the UIT and other devices on the SNAP bus.
Central Controller – computer that stores transactions from multiple new and old systems then uploads them to FCC-FMD/FAS software. It also controls TIM and UIT configuration. Desktop Cradle – provides interface for syncing UIT with Central Controller to download transactions and other data as well as uploads configuration data. It also provides power to charge and operate the UIT. ADC FM 2525 Retrofit.

ADC Hardware Truck Interface Module (TIM) The Truck Interface Module (TIM) sits between the peripheral sensors (temperature and pulse) and the Vehicle-charging cradle. The TIM initiates and records information about transactions, such as quantity and current fuel temperature. The TIM also maintains equipment information, such as; equipment number, grade of product, transaction sequence count, etc.
TIM LED’s and Antenna Connection Figure 2 - TIM Indicator LEDs and Antenna connector Antenna Kit The Antenna Kit (981A0270) installation contains the coaxial cable with attached antenna. The antenna is used in the RF transmitting of transaction data back to the Central Controller PC. The antenna is mounted on the outside of the truck and for better reception, ideally above the top of the truck cab. The antenna coax cable is then fastened into the connector on the outside of the TIM box.
Mounting Bracket Though the TIM housing (lower enclosure) provides mounting holes on flanges molded onto the enclosure, it is strongly recommended to install the TIM mounting bracket. The mounting bracket would be installed first and the TIM will merely slide into the bracket for a secure mount. Wherever possible, employ the TIM mounting bracket. This will avail ease in installation, upgradeability and if necessary, quick replacement of the unit.
Upper Enclosure Truck Interface Module (TIM) Components Baffle The 2-part Enclosure houses the circuit boards and a Baffle to hold the circuit boards in place. RF Card Processor Board The Backplane circuit board provides connectors for the Processor board, RF board, Barrier cable and the TIM Console connector. Backplane Lower Enclosure Valve The Processor Board contains the TIM software and firmware.

Under normal use, you should not have to use the reset button.
Right-side Panel Components Stylus Card reader head Credit card swipe slot Figure 8 – Right-side Panel Components Magnetic card swipe slot Reads information from a standard formatted magnetic swipe card (credit card) and inputs the data into transaction data fields on the UIT screen. The slot is bidirectional; credit cards can be swiped from the top towards the bottom, or from the bottom towards the top.
Indicator LEDs Cradle mount Figure 9 – Vehicle-Charging Cradle & Mount Vehicle-Charging Cradle mount Enables the Vehicle-Charging Cradle to be attached to a convenient location, such as the dashboard of a truck. Indicator LEDS The right LED when illuminated green indicates power. The left LED when illuminated blue indicates an active Bluetooth® wireless connection with the UIT.

Plug the other side into the USB port on your computer.
Charging the Internal UIT Battery and External Battery Pack It takes approximately 4 hours for a completely drained internal battery to charge to 90% capacity from a powered desktop cradle. Then it will switch to trickle charging which takes about additional 5 hours to charge to 100%. The UIT can be left on desktop cradle as long as desired. After fully charged, an internal battery can last up to 12 hours in stand-by mode.
AC Line Status indicates the UIT is either Online and in a charging cradle or Offline and out of the cradle running on the internal battery. Battery Voltage is the voltage value present in the battery. Battery Current indicates the charging cycle condition of the UIT battery. A negative value denotes the discharging interval of the cycle.
Pulser The ADC system supports a variety of pulsers to ensure compatibility with all types of mechanical and digital meters. Also, the system can utilize a uni-directional or bi-directional pulser or can integrate existing GFE pulsers. All pulsers are rated intrinsically safe.
Temperature Sensor The PDA system utilizes a thermal sensitive, fuel temperature sensor that is connected to the TIM via an intrinsically safe barrier. The PDA system records temperature compensated fuel to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius) and requires no fuel system component intrusion for installation.
ADC Hardware Installation Preliminary considerations: Since the dominate application of the ADC system involves R-11 refuelers, the following provisions have been disclosed for installation guidance and adherence. Unless Note: The following steps are observed as standard practice in the system installation of DoD application and adherence to procedures is not subject to alteration. Preparation: Preliminary survey.
Mount & Connect the TIM o Mount the TIM within close proximity of the pre-determined Vehicle Charging Cradle mount location. The TIM must be within 20 feet of the Vehicle Charging Cradle. o Using the mounting bracket as a template, drill four holes into the desired surface location. (Some applications will use self-tapping screws, so pre-drilling will not be necessary). Using the provided hardware, install the bracket and slide the TIM into the bracket.
o Place the UIT into the cradle for a minimum of two hours for the initial charge. The UIT indicator light will glow steady green when it is charging. o After UIT is charged, remove by gently pulling it straight up and out from the cradle. ADC Communication Verification The following test sequence determines connectivity between devices for the ADC system. Initially, the UIT handheld unit must be charged to capacity as described on page 18. TIM Communication a.

The Gumstix ADC Router is the intermediary between the TIM and central controller via the radio. It provides a PPP server for TIM connectivity. This allows for a seamless TCP/IP connection between TIM and central controller. It is across the TCP/IP Bridge that the TIM sends database entries directly to the Central Controller.
