When the door is open, the corners of the door represent a hazard particularly if
someone is working inside in the lower section of the tower enclosure.

Installation Guidelines
It is recommended that the 240VAC supply to the OPT come from a separate circuit that is
protected by an RCD. Local electrical standards must be adhered to when selecting these
devices.
Where possible, the 240VAC feed line to the OPT should not be used for power to other high-
current or “noisy” electrical devices e.g. pumps or dispensers.
Steps to be completed:
»
Pre-installation site survey including signup for a Merchant account with the bank.
»
Site preparation, including cabling and installation of required services.
»
The actual hardware installation.
»
Electrical connections to, and inside, the OPT cabinet.
»
Initial power-on check.
»
OPT forecourt configuration check.
»
PIN Pad bank logon check.
»
Testing of all connected components on the forecourt.
»
Pump calibration / NMI certification and site commissioning.
»
Operator Training.
Location Considerations
The following aspects need to be considered when selecting a location for the OPT. This list is
not exhaustive and the site surveyor should also consider any other criteria that may come from
the customer or from legislative requirements.
»
Needs to be installed outside of the applicable hazardous area. Transponder
Technologies recommend that the OPT is installed at least 1m outside the reach of any
fuel dispensing nozzle even if this is further away from any dispenser than what the
applicable standard requires.
»
Should be shaded from the sun (particularly the aluminium fascia) by a suitable external
structure. This is to help keep the internal temperature of the unit down and to prevent
the metal surfaces of the OPT from becoming too hot to touch.
»
Users must not be unreasonably exposed to danger from moving vehicles, either while
using the OPT or while approaching it.
»
Should be sheltered from high winds and saltwater spray.
»
Should not be installed where water is likely to pool or flood.
»
If the OPT is at risk from being struck by a moving vehicle, then bollards should protect
it.
»
The mounting plinth should be installed so the top side is clear of the surrounding ground
to provide an adequate water barrier, but not so high that the PIN Pad is too high for
shorter users.
»
If the OPT is to be used at night, then adequate lighting should be provided (as per AS
1940). These suggestions are based on the industry best practices and
our technicians’
hands-on experience.
