CONSOLE (OPTIONAL)
Description
The Checkpoint console is used in retail applications to initiate and monitor sales at the Islander.
The unit is controlled by a microprocessor and communicates to the Islander via a direct RS-485
connection that requires an RS-485 junction box. The RS-485 junction box provides a means for
hard-wire connection while incorporating protection circuitry to prevent electrostatic surges (which
may occur on the field wiring) from reaching the console.
Each Checkpoint console can control up to 16 pumps or remote dispensers. A 20-character
alphanumeric display along with pump status LEDs are used to provide the operator with current
information regarding the site. Full-travel keys are used in the operation of the unit. An ABA
Track 2 magnetic stripe reader is provided for use in reading magnetic stripe cards for credit or
club card purchases.
An optional standalone receipt printer, a PIN (personal identification number) pad, a cash drawer,
and a customer display are available for use with the console. The optional standalone receipt
printer is used for generating receipts in the building where the console is located. The optional
PIN pad can be used to allow customers to secretly enter their PINs for console transactions. The
optional cash drawer is used for storage of cash at the site. The customer display allows you to
display console sales so they are visible to the customer.
Location
The console and optional equipment should be located in an office-type environment. The unit
must be located in an area protected from direct contact with the weather. Do not install over a
hazardous location. The unit is designed for an operating temperature range of 4
o F to 120 o F with
a relative humidity of 5% to 95% non-condensing. The operative temperature range for the
optional standalone receipt printer is 40
o F to 104 o F.
You can locate the console in a location up to 1000 feet away from the Islander. The RS-485
junction box must be located within eight feet of the console. See Console Wiring in Section 3.
