Overview
Each data loop has both current regulation and automatic isolation circuitry. The dispenser
data-loop drivers operate from an unregulated 12 VDC supply at 45 mA for Gilbarco
dispensers and CRIND devices, or 30 mA for other non-Gilbarco UL-listed dispensers
selected by jump jacks on board (for wiring connections, see
Notes: 1) Each distribution board must be dedicated for use with Gilbarco 45 mA dispensing
units, CRIND devices, or 30 mA for other non-Gilbarco UL-listed dispensers.
No mixing of differing current loop equipment on a distribution board is allowed.
2) Connect only one dispenser or CRIND to any one data-loop channel. The wiring
distance between the D-Box and dispensers is not to exceed 2600 feet (5200 feet of
total wire), and requires twisted-pair stranded 14 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wire.
Daisy chaining is not allowed with this unit. Shielded wire is not recommended for
dispensers.
