Franklin Electric Remote Control Solution (RCS)

1 Introduction

The Power Integrity™ Remote Control Solution (RCS) fueling control panel integrates essential components such as dispenser/pump disconnects, dispenser hook isolation, low-voltage dispenser data disconnects, and emergency stop (E-stop) buttons into a single unit. The RCS facilitates advanced monitoring of device power status, enables remote E-stop engagement, and provides remote power resetting capabilities for critical fuel system and C-store assets.

Leveraging OVERSITETM technology for remote monitoring and power cycling, C-Store operators can remotely manage fuel dispensers, site controllers, submersible pumps, and other equipment. This capability significantly reduces the need for costly on-site maintenance and minimizes expenses associated with extended downtime.

• This product emits a magnetic field that can be harmful to pacemaker wearers. Pacemaker wearers must maintain a distance of 12" (30 cm).

CAUTION:

Seal all threaded fittings and conduit threads to ensure a weatherproof seal during installation/maintenance.

IMPORTANT:

Read, understand, and follow information in §2, §3, and §4 before proceeding with any process in this section.

NOTE:

Upon completion of installation, leave this guide with the service station owner or operator.

5.1 Panel Mounting Instructions

• ACIO Module inputs have two plugs: Front (live wire) and Back (neutral).
• It is recommended to wire Dispenser 1 Hook wires into ACIO 02, Dispenser 2 into ACIO 03, and so on. Use the next available slot if also wiring E-Stop ID.
• Some Outputs may be factory pre-wired for Low Voltage Dispenser Data Disconnects.

[Diagram: Illustration of an AC Isolation Module with IN, ACIO XX, OUT labels and terminal connections.]

5.2.8 Multiple RCS Parallel Wiring

NOTE:

• If connecting more than one RCS to the EVOTM, a FMP-NEB networking switch is required.
• If multiple RCS units are on site, E-Stop circuits must be wired together according to local regulations.
• This setup involves a primary RCS followed by secondary RCS units in a cascading fashion. The primary RCS controls E-Stop functionality for all subsequent RCS units.
• Cashier Control Push Button wiring (5.2.1.2) is performed only on the Primary RCS.
• E-stop Push buttons (5.2.1) are wired on the last RCS in the chain.

Procedure

NOTE:

Wiring diagram is shown on the following page.

1. On all RCS units, except the last secondary RCS, remove the jumper between terminals ES2_A and ES2_B. (This includes the primary RCS.)
2. On all secondary RCS units, remove the jumper between terminals ES1_A and ES1_B.
3. On all secondary RCS units, remove the jumper between terminals LT and CT.
4. On the primary RCS, connect a wire from an open ESO terminal to the corresponding CT terminal(s) of a secondary RCS.
5. Starting with the primary RCS, connect a wire from terminal RT to terminal 2 on subsequent RCS units. Repeat for all subsequent RCS.
6. Starting with the primary RCS, connect a wire from terminal LT to terminal LT on subsequent secondary RCS units. Repeat for all subsequent RCS.
7. Starting with the primary RCS, connect a wire from terminal ES2_A to terminal ES1_B on subsequent Secondary RCS units. Repeat for all subsequent RCS.
