complete description of keypad functions for programming the
dispenser. See the “How To Operate The Dispenser” section for an
explanation of keypad use to read totals. See the “How To Use
Diagnostics” section for complete instructions for using the keypad to
read error codes.
The Power Fail message occurs whenever the power has been
interrupted or turned off to the dispenser. If the power is turned off and
the P Fail message does not appear, the charge is low on the 12-volt
battery. Failure of the battery could result in loss of dispenser
electronic totals and stand alone operating data.

The Last Sale Recall switch is hidden from the customer. It can be
accessed using the Managers Keypad. When the “Clear” and “Enter”
buttons are held down simultaneously on the Managers Keypad with
the Managers Keypad plugged into the CPU (J3 connector) for 1
second, the previous sale is displayed. If power to the dispenser is
interrupted, the money and volume totals can be accessed, as well as
the current sale information.
The key locks for the electronic door are located on either outside top
edge of the door. The Key locks for the lower door of the 3000 Series
are located on the left side (top and bottom) of the lower door panel. A

When you have a Local Preset, this keypad takes the place of the
Manager Keypad and is used to program the dispenser. The
programming of the dispenser remains the same as with any other retail
electronic dispenser. There are no “extra” modes to program just
because you have the Local Preset option. The only difference between
the Local Preset option and a standard retail 3000 series electronic
dispenser is that a couple of the programming keys are not shown on
the keypad overlay. See Figure 3.

With the 3700 series electronic dispenser, mechanical calibration is optional. The standard 3700 is
calibrated electronically. That means that the meter in the dispenser that you have may not be able to
be calibrated mechanically (it will not have a mechanical calibration wheel). If the meter on the dispenser
that you have does not have the mechanical calibration wheel on it, you have the electronic calibration
option. Go to the next section in this manual that explains how to perform an electronic calibration.
Follow these steps to electronically calibrate the meter: Fig. 1 - Open the upper door.
Step 1 - Pump 5 gallons as displayed on the dispenser display into your
test can. Make sure to stop pumping at exactly 5.000 gallons.
Step 3 - Unlock and open the electronics door on the side with the
meter that you want to calibrate (See Figure 1). IMPORTANT - Make
sure you are calibrating the correct meter! To make sure, locate the
meter you are working on and the valve that is connected to it. Follow
those valve wires to the correct CPU/Control Board to ensure you are Fig. 2 - Pump your sample into

110 volts A.C. OR 230 Volts A.C. single phase from the main service panel connects to the main power
connector on TS2 of the CPU/Display/Power Supply Board (from this point on to be referred to as the
CPU board). L1 comes in on terminal 2 of TS2 and L2 (230 volt system ) or Neutral (120 volt system)
comes in on terminal 1. The other terminals on this terminal strip will be discussed later. There are no
jumpers or switches that need to be set for different input power. Incoming power can range from 270
volts A.C. to 85 volts A.C.
The power signal then passes through fuse F1 which is a replaceable 3 amp slow blow fuse on the
CPU. The A.C. power is then routed through a filter section to eliminate noise spikes and to change the
AC voltage over to various D.C. voltages. The DC voltages created are +24, +12 and +5 volts DC. The
voltages are used for the following within the dispenser:
There are no test points or adjustments for these voltages. The only voltage you can measure is the
incoming voltage on TS2. The incoming voltage range can be anywhere from 85 - 270 Volts AC.
Programming the Dispenser - Programming of the dispenser is done through the use of the Manager
Keypad or Local Preset keypad (if you have that option) that is shipped with each dispenser. This
keypad is normally disconnected and stored in the head of the dispenser when not being used. When
using the Manager keypad, connect the ribbon cable that comes with it to the Manager Keypad and plug
the other end into J3 of the CPU board. Make sure that the handle is hung up and the dispenser power
is on. Refer to the Operator section of this manual to see how to program the dispenser.
Main CPU Board - The CPU board is mounted to the upper electronic door. There is one CPU per
hose. The dispenser can have 1, 2 or up to 4 hoses. This means there could be 1, 2 or up to 4 CPUs
installed. This series of dispenser does not support multiple products or hoses per CPU. There is only
one CPU per hose. This series of dispenser does not offer blending or credit card readers / printers. The
Main CPU board performs the following functions:
There is also a jumper on the Satellite board to select either exclusive or simultaneous fueling operation.
Also, the CPU provides power to the satellite through connector J5.
Intrinsically Safe Barrier Modules - The Intrinsically safe barrier modules provide protection to the
handle and pulser circuits located in the lower half of the dispenser in the hydraulic area. These circuits
are designed with fuses and zener diodes to prevent any potential energy from entering the hydraulic
area so that under no condition will there be enough energy to create an electrical “spark”. This way,
there can be no explosion if there are vapors. There is one ISB for each CPU. If there are 2 CPU’s or
more, these ISB modules are identical and can be interchanged with one another for troubleshooting
purposes. The boards are identical. The fuses on these boards cannot be replaced in the field as a UL
requirement. These boards are covered with a metal cover to protect the circuits from an inadvertent
short and the covers must always be in place when the dispenser is in operation.
Dual Phase Pulsers (Standard Flow) - 3000 series pulsers are dual phase electronics pulsers that
pulse at a rate of 1024 pulses per gallon. These pulsers are physically mounted to the output shaft of the
Bennett SB-100 meter. As fuel flows through the meter, the output shaft rotates and turns the pulser.
Approximately 8 rotations of the meter represents 1 gallon of fuel. The pulser is an optically coupled
device and outputs 2 separate phases of square wave pulses through a ribbon cable connection, where
it connects through the “flame deck” to the ISB for that side. The pulsers operate off a regulated +5volt
dc signal that was created from a +12volt supply. When the valves are closed and there is no fuel flow,
there should be no pulses output from the pulser. The pulser only generates pulses as it is turning. As it
turns and generates pulses, it sends these pulses to the CPU board through the ISB for that hose. The
CPU counts the pulses and performs the mathematical computations to covert this information to a
display readout that shows the volume and it’s computed currency value on the main display. The CPU
and the pulser works in conjunction with one and another. For example, when the CPU receives it’s first
9 pulses, it opens up the slow flow portion of the 2 stage valve. At this point the CPU is making sure that
both phases of the pulser are working. If one of the phases of the pulser is not working, the dispenser
will never come out of slow flow and will go into an error condition. After 9 good pulses are received, the
system opens up the high flow portion of the 2 stage valve. Generally, a retail dispenser in fast flow puts
out a maximum of 10-12 gallons per minute maximum due to state and federal regulations. There is one
pulser for every meter.
Error checking - The dual phase pulsers allow for error checking. One phase is used to check the
other. For example, after pumping 1 gallon of fuel the CPU should see approximately 1024 pulses from
each phase. There is a built in diagnostic where if the CPU sees more than 15 consecutive missing
pulses from one or the other of the phases it will stop the sale and post an error message on the display
of the side of the dispenser with the error. Errors are stored in a diagnostic history file and any error
that occurs can be cleared by removing and replacing the hose from the nozzle boot.
SB-100 Meter - The standard flow Bennett meter which uses 4 piston, cam and diaphragm. This device
measures the fuel and has the dual phase pulser physically attached to the output shaft. As the fuel
flows through the meter the shaft turns in relation to the amount of fuel passing through it. This meter
can be ordered with mechanical calibration or without it. If it is ordered without it, electronic calibration
must be used.
Handle Switch - The handle switch allow the system to know when the customer wants to dispense
and signals the CPU to turn on the pump motor. The handle switch uses a “reed” style proximity switch
and magnet to signal when the nozzle has been removed from the boot. In the nozzle boot there is a lift
lever . Attached to this is a magnetic pickup. When the lift lever is raised, the magnet moves in proximity
to a reed switch on the handle circuit board. When this happens, the reed switch is pulled in completing
the circuit. This circuit is electrically “Open” when the nozzle is in the boot, and it is electrically “Closed”
when the lever is lifted. The CPU knows that the handle has been lifted when it sees it go from open to
closed. The CPU then sends a +12 volt dc signal to a relay to turn on the motor. When the handle is
returned to the nozzle boot the CPU turns off the pump motor and signals that the sale is complete and
the CPU sends this information to the Point of Sale device (or Fleet system if there is one).
Valve control - The dispenser may or may not have a valve/s, depending on which model has been
ordered. If there is, the CPU also controls the valve. The hose will have a “2” stage valve. The valve is
there to control product flowing through a hose. It prevents the unauthorized dispensing from a hose that
isn’t authorized. It is also used to slow down the flow towards the end of a pre-pay or preset sale. The 2
stage valve operates off +24 volts dc. If the system uses a valve, there is one valve on the output of
every meter.
Note - For the Satellite unit in a Master / Satellite high flow system, the valve in the satellite operates off
of 120 volts A.C.. However, the valve in the Master unit operates off of +24 volts D.C.
2 Stage Valve Control (Theory) - On a two stage valve, there are 2 “stages”, slow flow and fast flow.
When the handle is lifted the CPU should turn on the motor and turn on the valve. At the beginning of
the fuel transaction, as previously mentioned, the slow flow portion of the valve opens first for the
product and the CPU starts counting pulses. It only opens the slow flow portion of the valve at first after
the handle is lifted and the dispenser is authorized. After 9 good pulses are received from each phase of
the pulser it will open up the valve to the “fast” flow. The CPU does this by controlling the coils of the
solenoid of the 2 stage valve. It does this by providing the coils with a path to ground through a field
effect transistor (FET) on the CPU. The valve has 3 wires coming out of it, red, yellow and black. The
red is +24 volts, the yellow controls the slow flow coil and the black controls the fast flow coil.
System memory - A +3.3 volt dc on board battery is provided on the CPU board for maintaining system
programming in the Random Access Memory (RAM) during a power outage or anytime the system is
turned off. This battery is not replaceable.
System software - The CPU “operating program” is provided by use of an EPROM (Erase-able
programmable read only memory). This EPROM determines the functions that are available on the
dispenser.
The Main Display - The main display is used for the customer to view the currency and volume amount
of the sale as well as display current fuel prices. It is also used to house the electromechanical
totalizers. The display gets its information from the CPU.
Main Display Backlighting Board - The CPU does not use lights or ballasts. To light the display it
uses a backlight board using a series of 1.5 volt Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s). By using this type of
lighting it eliminates the need to replace burnt out light bulbs and ballasts. These LED’s are powered
from +24 volts it receives from the CPU.
Pulse Output Board (Optional) - A pulse output board is used to tie the electronic dispenser to a Fleet
Management system. It can also be tied to a Tank Gauge. The pulse output board is also tied to the
CPU board using RS485 communication. The pulse output board is used to route a handle signal to tell
the Fleet System that the hose is “in use”, and the pulse output board also sends D.C. pulse information
to the Fleet System so that it can count the volume being dispensed. The pulse output board also is
used to receive “authorization” signals from the Fleet System. Without this “Authorization” the hose CPU
will not reset and will not pump. The “authorization” is in the form of 120 Volts A.C. to the terminal strip
on the pulse output board.
The output pulse ratios available are 1000:1, 100:1, 10:1 and 1:1. This can be set with jumpers on the
Pulse Output board. Also, the pulse width is selectable from .5 milliseconds to 64 milliseconds.
Satellite Board (Optional) - With Master / Satellite truck stop applications (high flow), a satellite board
is used to control the valve in the satellite unit and to receive handle signal from the satellite unit. This
board is located in the Master unit and the field wires to the valve and handle from the satellite connect
here. Also, an “in use” light option may be ordered so that when the satellite handle is raised, the light
on the outside of the upper electronics on the Master will light (a requirement in some states).
Locate the breaker panel that serves the dispenser that you want to turn on.
Move the breaker to the “On” position. You should see the display displaying the last sale on each CPU
and auxiliary display. See figure 1. If there has been no sales, all 000’s will be displayed. See figure 2.
2. The customer removes the nozzle and lifts the lever. See Figure 2.
3. If the dispenser is under the control of a console or a Fleet system it waits for authorization. Once
the authorization signal is received, the dispenser resets. See Figure 4.
6. After the reset ( all 888’s on the display for 1 second - See Figure 4), the display (money / volume)
starts at all 000’s (See Figure 5) and as soon as fuel flows, the display begins counting.
7. If the dispenser has a preset amount set either at the dispenser local preset, or a preset was set at
the console, or the Fleet System card used had a maximum amount, the customer can pump until
that amount is reached. Or, he can stop when he is done fueling. The total amount is shown in the
display. See Figure 6.
8. Otherwise, when the customer is done, he removes the nozzle from the vehicle and lowers the hose
handle. This marks the end of that transaction and the sale stops and comes “due” for collection.

Fig. 2 Fig. 5
Fig. 3 Fig. 6
CPU Jumpers: There are not many jumpers that have to set / checked on the CPU, but, here they are:
Note - Jumpers JP2, JP3, JP4 and JP5 should have jumpers across the top pins (as shown) if
connected to a “current loop” console. If connected to a RS485 console, jumper across bottom
pins on JP2, JP3, JP4 and JP5.
There are no test points or adjustments for these voltages. The only
voltage you can measure is the incoming voltage on TS2. The incoming
voltage range can be anywhere from 85 - 270 Volts AC.
Testing the System Fuse - The system fuse on the CPU board is
located right behind input power terminal strip TS2. Turn off power to
the dispenser. Set your multimeter for “Ohms”. Leave the fuse in place.
Put the black lead on one side of the fuse and the red lead on the other
side of the fuse. If the fuse is good, it should read as a “short circuit”.
This indicates “continuity”. Your meter may “beep”. If the fuse reading
is anything other than 0 Ohms, replace the fuse with a known
good 3 amp slow blow fuse. See Figure 5.
Fig. 5 - Testing a Fuse
If the system that you are working on has a CPU with a fault that will not
allow you to get into Manager Mode, you will not be able to perform a Fig. 3 - Menu Code 83
RAM clear.
Connect the Manager Keypad to J3 of the CPU. Press and hold both
the “Clear” and “Enter” button simultaneously for 3 seconds until you
see “Code 00”.
Go to mode 3 to enter the security code by pressing the “3” and then
the “Mode” button. Enter the security code and then press “clear”. Fig. 4 - When you see this
press “1” to RAM clear.
To clear the RAM go to mode 83 by pressing the “8”, “3” and then
“Mode” button. Press “1”. You will see what is in Figure 4. Press
“Enter” and the system clears the RAM and reboots. During the reboot
process, the software ID shows up in the display. See Figure 5. After
the reboot, the system automatically returns to the normal operating
mode. You will need to return to Manager Mode to check your settings
and make any changes that are necessary. For example, after a “RAM
Clear”, it will be necessary to reprogram prices in mode 4 (or prices
could be sent from the control console). Fig. 5 - Software ID
Most modes do get reset back to the factory defaults after a RAM clear. The only modes that do not get
reset are the electronic calibration values and the electronic totals. The system defaults to the following
settings after a RAM clear.
A RAM Clear should be performed any time the system appears to be operating inconsistently. Here are
some examples:
These are just a few examples. A RAM Clear is not covered under the Bennett warranty policy. Do not
plan a trip to a station just to perform a RAM clear. This will not be covered under warranty without
express approval by Bennett technical Support.

The dispenser has a variety of Menu Codes that are accessed by using the manager’s keypad. Menu
Codes 0 and 1 are accessed by the attendant or the manager to read diagnostic error codes or totals.
The remaining Menu Codes are used by first entering an access code in Menu Code 3. Without the
correct access code, the remaining Menu Codes are hidden. A description of each Menu Code is given
below:

Dispenser
Current Loop communication uses the standard Bennett Protocol using 2
wires per CPU. This is the most common console interface to date. With this
choice, the dispenser should be set for “Current Loop” in mode 21 and a
Bennett model 515 interface box would be used.
RS 485 Communication -
RS485 communication is for consoles that write the simple Bennett 485
command set. There would be no interface box necessary and mode 21 at the
dispenser would be set for RS485. RS485 communications is also used when
you have a Pulse Output Board connected to the CPU.
CPU Jumpers
Connector TS1 on the CPU is where the field wiring be-
tween the dispenser and the console would connect. This
dispenser can communicate two different ways, either Cur-
rent Loop OR RS485. Refer to the installation drawings for
the two styles in the back of this manual. Also, see the
drawings above for a quick understanding.
Also note that jumpers JP2, JP3, JP4 and JP5 have their
jumpers set across their top two pins for “current loop” com-
munications and across the bottom two pins for “RS485”
style communications. Set these jumpers across the bottom
pins also when using a Pulse Output Board (since the CPU
communicates with the Pulse Output Board using RS485
communications.)
Pulse Output Board (Optional) - This board connects to the CPU on connector J8 of the CPU. The
pulse output board is used to communicate with the third party Fleet System. See Figure 1. This board
can communicate with up to two dispenser CPU’s. The pulse output board is mounted on top of the
Intrinsically Safe barrier board cover inside the electronics enclosure, on the flame deck. See Figure 2.
The purpose of the Pulse Output Board is to communicate with the Fleet System and to transmit pulse
data and handle signal and to receive from the Fleet system the authorization signal. See Figure 3.

Step 1 - Remove the field wires from the terminal strip and mark them
so that you will put them back on the same terminals when you are
finished. See Figure 2.
Step 2 - With the fueling point handle in the “OFF” position, use your
multi meter and measure the “resistance” across the handle channel Fig. 1
you are testing on TS2. This example shows side 2 handle being
tested. With the handle “OFF” the LED above the relay should be
“OFF” and the resistance reading should be “Open” (O.L. means Open
Loop) See Figure 3.
Step 3 - Lift the handle that you want to test. The LED above the relay
should come on. See Figure 4. The resistance shown on your meter
should show 0 ohms (dead short). This means that the relay is closed.
See Figure 5.
Step 4 - De-activate the handle and make sure that the LED turns off Fig. 2
and that the relay opens. See Figure 3.
This test should be run if the Fleet System is not receiving the handle
signal. If this test passes but the Fleet System does not signal “in use”,
contact either Bennett Technical Support or the Fleet System
manufacturer for assistance.

As long as both dispensers are on the same phase L1 (both) OR L2 (both) you do not have a cross
phasing situation. But, if you have dispenser 1 on phase 1 (L1) and dispenser 2 on phase 2 (L2), and
both these signals are sent to the same point in the relay box, then the result is 120 volts + 120 volts =
240 volts being fed back on those same wires being fed back to the dispenser which could damage the
dispenser electronics. In most cases, it blows the 3 amp fuse on the CPU.
In the last few years, relay boxes have been designed to eliminate this cross phasing problem so this
problem is not as prevalent as it used to be.
Step 3 - Using your volt meter on the AC voltage scale (you may see
voltage as high as 250 volts), put the red lead on the power wire
feeding one dispenser and put the black meter lead on another
dispenser power circuit. See Figure 1.
If you determine that the dispensers are cross phased you should
contact the installer to have him fix the problem. When the dispenser is
cross phased it will blow the fuse on the CPU. This is a 3 amp slow
blow fuse. Do not bother replacing the fuse until the problem has been
resolved or else it will just blow another fuse.
The 3000 series can accommodate truck stop applications where you
have a “Master” dispenser along with “Satellite” dispensers.
Truck stops use this to fill up tanks on both sides of the vehicle (see
Figure 2). Also, truck stops normally offer faster flow rates since the
vehicles tend to be much larger. A typical truck stop dispenser can dis-
penser between 40 and 60 gallons per minute depending on whether
only one side is fueling or both sides are fueling.

Auxiliary Display - On certain models of two sided dispensers, the display/ CPU board mounted on the
upper doors may not be a CPU board. It may be just an Auxiliary display board. An Auxiliary display
board connects to the CPU on the other side of the dispenser with a ribbon cable between the two
boards. On the CPU, the Auxiliary Display board connects to J1.
The function of the Auxiliary Display board is to show the customer the sales information on the other
side of the dispenser on dispensers with side mounted hoses. This way, the sales information can be
viewed on either side for that hose. All displays have backlighting. The Aux board does not have any
software or the ecal switch or many of the other functions that the CPU has. See Figures 2 and 3 below
to learn how to quickly identify an Auxiliary Display from a CPU.

Meter
Theory of Operation - Dual Phase Pulsers - The 3000 series pulsers are dual phase electronics
pulsers that pulse at a rate of 1024 pulses per gallon. The “Dual Phase” design is to prevent tampering.
These pulsers are physically mounted to the output shaft of the meter. The new design also uses a dust
cover to keep dirt and such off of the pulser. As fuel flows through the meter, the output shaft rotates
and turns the pulser. Eight rotations of the meter represents one gallon of fuel.
The pulser is an optically coupled device with a spinning disk with two infrared beams and outputs 2
separate phases of square wave pulses 90 degrees out of phase with each other. We call these two
phases phase 1 and phase 2 or “Leading” and “Lagging” phases. These signals are routed through a
ribbon cable connection, in a daisy chain fashion where it connects through the “flame deck” to the bar-
rier board for that side. There it connects to the CPU board for processing. The pulsers operate off a
regulated +5volt dc signal that was created from a +12volt supply. When the valves are closed and there
is no fuel flow, there should be no pulses output from the pulser. The pulser only generates pulses as it
is turning. As it is turned by the output meter shaft it generates pulses, and sends these pulses to the
CPU board through the Barrier Circuit for that hose. The CPU counts the pulses and performs the
mathematical computations to covert this information to a display readout that shows the volume and it’s
corresponding computed currency value on the main display. The CPU and the pulser works in conjunc-
tion with one and another. For example, the CPU first opens the slow flow portion of the 2 stage valve.
At this point the CPU is making sure that both phases are working. If one of the phases of the pulser is
not working, the dispenser will never come out of slow flow. After 9 good pulses are received from both
phases, the system opens up the high flow portion of the 2 stage valve and full flow is achieved. Gener-
ally, a retail dispenser in fast flow puts out a maximum of 10-12 gallons per minute maximum due to
state and federal regulations.
Error checking - The dual phase pulsers allow for error checking. One phase is used to check the
other. For example, after pumping 1 gallon of fuel the CPU should see approximately 1024 pulses from
each phase. There is a built in diagnostic where if the CPU sees more than 15 consecutive missing
pulses from one or the other of the phases it will stop the sale and post an error message on the display
of the side of the dispenser with the error. Errors are stored in a diagnostic history file and any error that
occurs can be cleared by removing and replacing the hose from the nozzle boot. Also, if the pulser is
disconnected, an error will result.
Refer to the section on “Error Codes” later in this manual to learn about
Error Codes related to the Pulser.
When the nozzle is removed from the nozzle boot the spring loaded
flapper moves bringing the magnet in proximity to a reed switch on the
handle circuit board. When this happens, the reed switch is pulled in Fig. 2 - This is an example of
completing a circuit. When the CPU sees the circuit go from “Open” to the “Lift Lever”.
“Closed” it knows the handle has been turned on. Then the CPU sends
the +12 volt dc signal to the relay to turn on the motor. When the Fig 3 - Reed switch S1 is

should close immediately (less than 1/2 second) after the handle is
hung up. The sale cannot be collected unless the handle switch is off.
There are also diagnostics for the handle switch. These topics will be
covered later in this section and in Diagnostics.
Current Style Handle Board - This
newer style board utilizes barrel
connectors and a solid state type
magnetic switch rather than the
original style board, which used a
“shunt jumper” style and a glass
magnetic switch.
The general rule is that the red wire go to the “odd” numbered terminal
and the black wires go to the “even” numbered terminal. There are 4
terminals on this board marked T1-T4. If you look at the board with the
“Reed” switch facing down, then the bottom right terminal is T1 and T2 Fig. 1 - Pulser ribbon cable

Current Style Handle Board - This newer style board utilizes barrel
connectors and a solid state type magnetic switch rather than the
original style board, which used a “shunt jumper” style and a glass
magnetic switch.
Both style boards operate identically and have the same part
number.
Also, the other use of the two stage valve is in a preset or prepay application to slow the flow of fuel at
the end of the transaction. As an example, on a pre-pay sale (where the sale amount is collected before
fueling), the pump is “preset” by the P.O.S. In this example we will say that the customer preset the
pump for $5.00. When the customer pumps fuel it is in fast flow all the way up to the slow flow offset
that is programmed in the pump. Let’s say that that was set to .2 gallons. So, at about two tenths of a
gallon until the end of the sale the pump goes into slow flow and at $5.00 the valve closes all the way
and the pump stops.
So, a retail dispenser may have only one or up to four 2 stage valves. There is one valve per meter and
the valve is mounted on the outlet of the meter.
+24 volts DC is present on the red wire of the valve all the
times ( or at least it should be). When the CPU wants to
energize a coil it grounds the black or yellow wire for that
coil which allows current to flow. The CPU controls all the
solenoids of all the valves this way.

Fast Flow - wire to wire N/A Yellow to Red = Black to Red =

Wire to wire - Using a digital voltmeter , set the scale for dc voltage.
Highest expected voltage is 24 volts dc. You can either push the
multimeter probes into the harness connector for that valve or you can
use paper clips like you see in the figure. See figure 9.
But what if you are not getting normal flow? Another way to test to
see if the valve is opening is by placing your hand on the solenoid
portion of the valve and pumping fuel. If the solenoids are working
properly you should feel two distinct “clicks” as the solenoids are
energized. One “click” for the slow flow and one “click” for the fast flow

pulses) See figure 2. Make sure that the small hole (this hole is in the
center of the fast flow plunger. The plunger must be removed from the
body of the coil section of the valve for inspection). in the fast flow valve
is not restricted. You can do this with by a visual inspection.
You can remove both the fast flow and the slow flow plungers from the
solenoid by unscrewing the solenoid from the valve casting and the two
plungers should slide out. Make sure the fast flow (grooves along the
sides) is the first one that comes out and that the slow flow is after that.
Be careful not to loose the spring in the slow flow plunger. See figure 3.
You can also open the valve body and check the diaphragm to make Fig 2 - Feeling the solenoid
sure that there are no loose or foreign objects, any tears in the “clicks”
diaphragm and to make sure that the spring is in place properly. See
figure 4. Always carry extra O-rings because if you open a valve that
has had fuel pass through it the O-ring will “swell” and you will not be
able to get it back in its groove.

DUKPT vs. Master Session - When debit cards are used, whether at
the dispenser or inside the store, an encryption system must be in
place. The encryption system is in place to “encode” the personal
identification numbers (PIN) that the customers input at the card
readers. The reason why the pin numbers must be protected is so that
if the card is stolen or lost, it is useless without the pin and this protects
lost or stolen cards from being used. The two methods that the banking
system uses for this is called Master/Session and DUKPT encryption.

Master/Session - Encryption system where the encryption key is and fuel com connects to com
changed after each “session” or shift. 6
DUKPT - Derived Unique Key Per Transaction. Each time a debit card
is used a new encryption key is used. This is the most secure method
and is the one the industry is moving towards for all debit transactions.
The thermal printer is also connected to the VIB through a 50 pin ribbon
cable. This cable is also for data and power.
The middle row of this cable has another three wires. They are the
RS485 communication wires that connect the card reader com to the
DCT terminal strip on the Power Distribution board which then connects
to the field wires for the DCTs. These wires are white, brown and
orange:
White - RS 485(-). Connects to TS4 terminal 22
Brown - RS 485 (Common). Connects to TS4 terminal 21 Pink wire always plugs into pin 1
Orange– RS 485 (+). Connects to TS4 terminal 20.
A cash transaction is a “post pay” where the customer drives up, pumps
fuel and then pays inside the store.
The customer presses the “pay inside” button. This signals the Ruby
that the customer is requesting authorization to pump. The pump
cannot pump fuel without the authorization from the console if the pump
is in console mode.
At the Ruby this “call in” signal is represented by the flashing car icon. A
steady “Beep” is heard.
After receiving the authorization from the console the card reader says
something like “lift lever or select grade” (depending on whether this is
a lift lever or push to start pump). In this case we’ll say it’s a lift lever.
The customer lifts the lever…..
And selects the grade. Once the start button is pressed (or the lever is
lifted), since the pump has received authorization then the pump goes
through the segment check (all 8888’s) and then zeros the display and
displays the selected price in the price window.
The Ruby displays the fueling message represented by the little “Fuel
Nozzle Drop” icon. This picture also shows a “stacked” sale. ($)
At the end of the sale the nozzle is hung up which ends that sale. The
handle switch, whether it’s a lift lever or a nozzle boot switch is the
official end of the sale as far as the POS is concerned.
At the Ruby the sale “comes due” and must be cashed out. This is
represented by the $ sign for that fueling point.
At the Ruby, the total for that fueling point should also say $20.00.
After all the equipment has been ordered, installed and setup properly
and if the network has the site setup for credit, here’s what happens
when a customer runs a credit card.
The “idle” message at the card reader may vary but will say something
like “press payment key or swipe card”. After pressing the “credit here”
button it will say something like “insert card”.
The card is swiped with the magnetic stripe oriented properly in the
track of the reader. When the card is swiped, the data (card number,
name and expiration date) is sent to the Ruby and then on to the
network (via phone line modem, leased line or VSAT) to check the card
for authorization (making sure the card has not reached it’s credit limit)
and the ruby sends a message to the card reader that says “one
moment please” or “processing card” while the card is being checked.
Note - Ever wonder where the “Idle Prompt” and the “Start Fueling
Prompts” come from? For a list of these prompts and how to set them,
reference Table 3 later in this section.
On the Ruby the icon that shows the credit card is being used is the
little “car” symbol (not flashing). This tells the cashier that a credit card
is being used at that fueling point. The cashier does not usually have to
release the pump on a credit card sale.
The customer removes the hose and lifts the lever (on a lift lever pump)
At the end of the sale the nozzle is hung up which ends that sale. The
handle switch, whether it’s a lift lever or a nozzle boot switch is the
official end of the sale as far as the POS is concerned.
The customer cannot remove the nozzle and continue to pump until the
whole authorization process begins again. At this point the message
sent down from the Ruby might say “would you like a receipt” and the
customer would press “yes” or “no” on the card reader.
If he presses yes, the receipt would print and the customer would
remove it. Duplicate receipts cannot be printed at the card reader, only
at the POS.

Card Transactions -
Debit Transactions -
The debit transaction works much the same way as any other credit
card transaction with one exception. When the debit card user swipes
their card at the dispenser, the Ruby sees it as a debit type card and
sends down a prompt message to “Enter Pin”.
Injection of the Card Readers -The keypad injection encodes the pin
number information before it is sent to the POS. The POS forwards this
encoded pin number to the bank where it is decoded and verified. If it is
a good pin then the bank authorizes the card and the Ruby releases the
pump. All other parts of a debit transaction are the same. A debit card transaction
requires the customer to enter
The card reader itself is also a little different from a standard credit card his Personal Identification
reader in that it has been specially “injected” (from Bennett) with the Number
proper encryption code for this network. This will be covered later in this
section.
How do you check to see if you have the right card reader? You can
find a sticker on the card reader unit that says what type it is. If you
can’t find the sticker contact Technical Support.
Card readers have a sticker
that describes the oil company/
network and DUKPT or M/S
Make sure the dispenser is powered on and that the card reader display
is on. It will probably say “out of service”.
Service Tip! When programming the card readers at the site for the
first time, it is likely that they all have the same address of “1”. For this
reason it may be a good idea to disconnect the card reader field wires
from terminal strip on the deck so that all the card readers with the
same address do not lock up the system. After the dispenser has been
properly addressed you can re-connect the field wires.

the left arrow and the center key is the Accept key. Press the Accept
key (top center). It should say “Type”.
Step 4 - Press “CLEAR” to get back to the main menu. Then, right
arrow until it says “Key Type”. You do not have to program this because
we are not running debit so we don’t need an encryption “Key”. Press
the right arrow until it says “Poll” and press “Accept”. Here is where we
have to give the card reader an address so that the Ruby knows which
one it is talking to. The choice here is either “MSM” or “CAT”. We are
not concerned with the MSM address here because we are not running
debit , but we do need to set the CAT address. Right arrow until it says
“CAT” and press “Accept”. Enter the correct fueling point address and
press “ENTER”. Press the “CLEAR” button 3 times to exit out. You are
done programming this side of the dispenser credit only. Go to the next
card reader to program it.
Make sure the dispenser is powered on and that the card reader display
is on. It will probably say “out of service”.
Service Tip! When programming the card readers at the site for the
first time, it is likely that they all have the same address of “1”. For this
reason it may be a good idea to disconnect the card reader field wires
from the terminal strip on the deck so that all the card readers with the
same address do not lock up the system. After the dispenser has been
properly addressed you can re-connect the field wires.
Step 2 - The top right hand key is the right arrow and the left top key is
the left arrow and the center key is the Accept key. Press the Accept
key (top center). It should say “Type”.
Step 4 - Press “CLEAR” to get back to the main menu. Then, right
arrow until it says “Key Type”. You will have to program this because
we are running debit so we need an encryption “Key”. Press “Accept”.
The choices here are DUKPT and MASTER. Select DUKPT and press
“ENTER”. It should say “DUKPT KEY SET”. If the card reader is not
encrypted with DUKPT it will also say “NO DUKPT KEY”. See figure.
(For the purposes of this example we will assume that we didn’t get the
no dukpt key message.). Press the “CLEAR” button to return to the
main menu.
Step 5 - Press the right arrow until it says “Poll” and press “Accept”.
Here is where we have to give the card reader an address so that the

or “CAT”. We are concerned with the MSM address here because we
are running Master/Session debit , and we do need to set the CAT
address. You should see “MSM”. Press “ACCEPT”. It should read
“MSM poll address 30”. The MSM, which is located in the IC BOX in the
store is always address 30. The card readers need to know this
address to talk to it.
Right arrow until it says “CAT” and press “Accept”. Enter the correct
fueling point address and press “ENTER”. Press the “CLEAR” button 3
times to exit out. You are done programming this side of the dispenser
for Master/Session debit. Go to the next card reader to program it.
At the IC box you will follow the same programming as the Master/
Session with 2 exceptions:
1)The “TYPE” will be MSM - Not Debit
2)The “Key Type” is set for Master
3)The “CAT” address will always be 00 for Master/Session at the MSM
module in the IC Box.
4)MSM Poll address is 30.
This addressing is important. The card readers look for the MSM at
The MSM module in the IC
address 30 and the Ruby looks for the MSM at address 00. In normal box CAT address id always
operation the message on the MSM module will say “MSM Running”. 00. This is the address the
RUBY expects to find the
MSM.
The technician will be responsible for checking out both ends of the
system all the way from the Bennett pumps to the VeriFone Ruby
system. It is highly recommended that the technician attend Bennett
Dispenser Training as well as VeriFone Ruby Training. This manual
attempts to assist the Technician in understanding how the Ruby works
with the Bennett pumps. However, as the Ruby software changes it
may make some of the material in this manual obsolete.
Step 1 - Make sure you have the files you need on the laptop. Check Use the rs232 cable with the
with Bennett Technical Support to see if the version of the “PAK” that null adapter for the com port
you want to load on the Ruby meets the minimum requirements to work on your laptop
with the Everest Card Readers for the network you are on and the Oil
Company that it is for.
Step 2 - Connect the rs232 cable to your com port on the laptop with
the proper null adapter. With the power off to the Ruby plug the other
end into com port 1 of the Ruby. Turn the Ruby power back on.
Step 3 - Put the Ruby in ‘Boot-up Monitor” by using a paper clip and
pushing it in the pin hole closest to the front of the Ruby on the right
hand side. This must be done for the Ruby to accept the loading of an
operating system. You will hear the system make an audible tone and
after a moment a message comes on the Ruby that says “ Select a Yes
key No double wide keys”. Leave the ruby alone, don’t hit any keys. It
will stay this way until you have downloaded the new operating system.
Step 4 - Run Gemstall on your laptop. Gemstall is VeriFone's menu Putting the Ruby in Boot Up
drive utility that you use to load the operating system. It guides you monitor
through the installation process.
Step 5 - When Gemstall opens up you will have a menu. (At this point
this manual will not cover every step to load a Ruby, only the ones
pertaining to the Bennett Fuel protocol and the Bennett Card Reader
protocol) Select the “PAK” you want to load. .
Step 6 - Select the fuel type protocol. Use Bennett for your fuel
selection. Make sure it is on the correct port (usually defaults to com
port 6).
Make sure you check your settings for the fuel protocol. It should be
Bennett on com 6.
Use the default settings on com port 9 for the card readers. If this com
port is taken or bad you can use another com port on the Ruby, just
make sure you connect the rs232 cable coming from the IC Box to the
right port on the Ruby.
Step 8 - Selecting Wayne Keypad - The keypad file you select for
Wayne is important. If you don’t select the right keypad, then the keys
on the card reader won’t work properly. See Table 1 quick reference list
of the proper keypad files for the different overlays that are available on
the card readers.
Here is one type of overlay that matches the W1032 keypad file. There
may be several overlays that match the keypad file.
Step 8 - Selecting the Wayne Prompt - This is the prompt that the
customer sees first on the Card Reader Display.

The Ruby system must be programmed to work with the card readers.
There are numerous settings that, if not programmed correctly, will
cause the Ruby to not communicate with the card readers. Not all of the
Ruby parameters will be covered here, only the ones that affect the
operation of the fuel and card system. If the parameter you are looking
for is not mentioned in this section then the default setting is probably
alright to use.
After setting up your first fueling point, copy the remaining fueling points
to set them up the same.
2) Hose Assignments - Set fuel products from lowest grade to the left
to highest grade to the right. Exception: On a 3+1 dispenser, the diesel
product will be the first hose. If this setting is wrong, the prices for the
products will appear in the wrong windows.
Fuel Prices - You must have prices for the fuel to be able to run a sale
on a Bennett pump. Either the prices can come down from the Ruby or
can be set manually at the pump.
1) DCR Attributes:
Select DCR Number
DCR in Dispenser - Yes. The pump has a card reader or “No” the
pump doesn’t have a card reader. Must be set to Yes.
DCR out of service - No. Normal setting when the DCR is running with
the Ruby or “Yes” if the card reader is malfunctioning and needs to be
taken off line. When this is set to yes, a message appears on the DCR
telling the customer to pay inside. The card reader and the receipt
printer are disabled.
Pay at the Pump - Yes. The pump has a card reader and is available
for use by the customer. If this is set to “No” then the customer cannot
pay for fuel at the dispenser. This is different from the DCR in
Dispenser attribute in that this setting when turned to “No” will still allow
the card reader to display messages whereas the DCR in dispenser
when turned to “No” will say “Out of Service”
Push to Start - Set to “No” if the pump has a lever that must be raised
to begin fueling. This setting ensures that the correct instructions are
being displayed ON THE DCR. All 3000 series dispensers have “lift to
start” levers.
Grade Select Button - The 3000 series does not have grade select
buttons. The lift lever is used to initiate the sale.
Lever on Pump - Yes - The DCR prompts will accurately reflect instructions for starting to fuel for
dispensers with a lift lever.
Handle Up Calling - This setting determines when the DCR calls the cashier for approval to dispense
fuel. This setting is also dependent on the value of “Ignore MOP Conflict” under fuel site parameters.
The pumps calls for approval when the customer lifts the pump handle. There must be no difference in
the cash and credit prices.
Fueling Promotional Message - Defines the message that should be scrolling on the DCR screen
while the customer is fueling.
DCR Enable/Disable - Enables or Disables a DCR that is or was down for service. The customer must
pay for the fuel inside. You can do this for one DCR or all DCR’s.
Site Parameters -
There are only a couple of settings under Site Parameters that need to be checked. They are located
under DCR Site Parameters. They are:
Type of Debit - Master/Session or DUKPT. Must be set for the type of debit the site is running. Not
available on all “PAKS”. For example, BUYPAK does not have this setting. When you select “Outside
Debit Enabled” the network only works with Master/Session.
Technical Support - Whenever you call Bennett technical Support, make sure you have the following
information available:
All software should match on all the card readers or you could have
problems at the site.
To load the software onto the card readers you will need the following:
1)Software Files (version) Kit contains software and
2)Cable for laptop to VIB cable. You provide the
3)Laptop laptop. Kit P/N #107099
To load the software onto the card readers, follow these steps:
You need to reload the files if you ever see the message “Download
Needed”. This means that the files have been lost. See figure for
example.
Step 1 - Reboot the dispenser and view what the current software
version level is. There are currently 3 versions in the field
A)Version 1.01.02
B)Version 1.02.02
C)Version 1.02.03 (latest as of this printing)
Make sure that the version you are going to load is a later version than
what is currently at the site.
Step 2 - Power down the dispenser, override the battery open the upper
door (electronics) and then connect one end of the cable to the
VeriFone Interface Board.
Step 5 - Disconnect the DCT field wires from the field wire terminal strip
on the deck. This will keep all the other dispensers from locking up if
the card reader you are working on gets an address that is already
programmed on another card reader.
Step 6 - At the card reader, with the card reader powered up, press the
“7” and “ENTER” button simultaneously to get in the “Backdoor”.
Step 7 - The card reader should say “PSWD”. Enter the password 1 6 6
8 3 1. Press the “ENTER” button. Press the “ACCEPT” button.
Step 10 - You should see the card reader accepting the download. The
display will show Beneve.Out and the status line will show the progress.
There are approximately 60 packets that get sent.
Step 11 - You can also view the computer screen. It should open Com
1 and show 100% Beneve.out and sending closing packet. This means
the download was successful.
At this point you are done with this card reader. You can disconnect
your cable from the card reader. You will need to re-program the card
reader for the address and type and key type as covered previously in
this chapter. Before you finish this dispenser make sure that you
reconnect the field wires to the terminal strip that you disconnected in
step 5.
When the paper runs out or runs low, follow this procedure for replacing
the paper:
Pull out on the securing nut to release the paper roll swing bar.
Swing the paper roll swing bar to the fully extended position.
The head release lever is located on the other side of the printer and
should be in this position when the printer is “on line”. You will need to
lower (release) the lever to release the paper from the head
mechanism.
Lowering the head release mechanism. Move the lever to the left
approximately 90 degrees.
Make sure you push the head release lever back to the normal position.
Feed the new paper roll so it is feeding off the roll from the top. When
you feed the paper into the paper advance slot the motor will sense the
paper and automatically advance and straighten it.
Move the paper roll back to it’s normal position and make sure it locks
in. Run the paper test procedure to ensure you are using the proper
paper. See the next section.
To enter Diagnostics or read totals, press and hold the CANCEL and ENTER buttons on the Manager
Keypad at the same time until the displays read “Enter Code.00”, this takes 6 seconds. Make sure the
pump handle is in the OFF position.
Diagnostic tests have been programmed into the dispenser software to help the operator and service
technician troubleshoot failures of the dispenser. The dispenser can run several levels of self-diagnostic
tests to determine where the failure has occurred. The levels that will be discussed here are:
Diagnostics Code Description
0 Software I.D. Number
1 Display Segment Test/Keypad Test
2 Fault History
5 Pump Handle Test
6 .0 - P-FAIL (Power Failures Counter)
.1 - C-FAIL (Communication Failures Counter)
.2 – ECAL 1 (Electronic Calibration Counter)
.4 - Unit CH (Unit Changes Counter)
.5 - ColdSt (Cold Starts Counter)
.6 - FActrY (Reset to Factory Defaults Counter)
.7 - Er Ct - (Number of Errors Counter)
.8 - Pr Ch - (Price Changes Counter)
By performing a diagnostic test, the operator or manager can inform the service technician of the
problem before coming to the site. The service technician can then anticipate which repair parts to bring
to the site.
NOTE: When a valid failure has occurred, the name of the failure appears in the main display.
Press the 0 button and then the MODE button on the keypad. The main display appears as in Figure
36.
From this point, any test can be entered by pressing the number of the diagnostic test and the ENTER
button. To exit a diagnostic test, press the CANCEL button.
To enter this test, enter diagnostics and press the 2 button on the keypad and the ENTER button.
If there are errors recorded, press enter and the displays read as in Figure 4. The first two digits
represent how many times the error occurred, the two digits after the “E” represent the error code
number.
00 Initialization - This display is loaded briefly at power up. If it remains for more
than one second, it indicates that there is an unexpected error
that is preventing the dispenser from completing initialization.
Possibly micro failure. **
03 Failed pulser - It is displayed when the signal lines from the pulser show invalid
transitions over a period of time. **
05 Reverse flow fault - This indicates excessive backward pulser activity. If constant at
installation, every sale, it may be caused by reversed wires from
the pulser. May also indicate bad check valves.**
CA Corrupted calibration - This indicates that the calibration value stored in the EEPROM
is either invalid or corrupted. The unit will not operate until a
valid calibration function has been performed. ww
EE EEPROM failure - This indicates that the EEPROM has failed. Could be caused by
a software version that is not compatible with the current
software, or has never been programmed. ww
FF Failure of unknown type - This display indicates that there is a continued failure of
unknown type. This display will most often occur when leaving
managers mode while the dispenser still has an active error.
** These error messages can be cleared by activating and deactivating the on/off
mechanism.
ww These error messages will not allow the dispenser to function until the unit is restarted.
Refer to Menu Code 83 for Cold Start.

How to Clear an Error Message - If an error occurs it will shut down the sale in progress. The message
will be displayed on the display until it is cleared. To clear the error simply hang up the hose and then
remove the hose and lift the handle and then lower it again. This should clear the error.
Error Codes
It is difficult to foresee all problems, and in some cases, multiple problems exist that the technician has
to overcome. This is the challenge. This is where a technician with a good overall understanding of all
the equipment at the site is needed. Not only is it important to have a good fundamental understanding
of how the dispenser operates, but also, knowing the console, fleet system, leak detection equipment,
power system and general electronics and electrical wiring background are useful tools for the
technician.
This section is broken down in a table that lists “Symptoms”, “Possible Causes” and “corrective
Actions”. It is worded in such a way as the average technician can understand.
Note - The “Possible Causes” section of the table is not listed by what should be checked first or is most
common in all cases. But rather, a technician should try to locate their particular problem in the table and
then examine ALL of the possible problems and corrective actions and ask themselves “What makes the
most sense in this case”?
This manual is not intended to replace technical training. All Bennett technicians should be formally
trained. This manual is only used as a tool to help the technician after they have forgotten everything he
learned from the Home study course.
Only certified Bennett technicians should troubleshoot and service the 3000 series dispenser. Only
certified technicians should work on this equipment during the warranty period. Only certified technicians
will be helped by the Bennett Help Desk. For technical training information please contact the Technical
Services Department at 1-800-423-6638.
Finally, always remember - SAFETY FIRST! When you are working at a station, and you are most likely
working alone, watch your back! Be careful. Your safety is your own responsibility. You are working
around dangerous electrical voltages, explosive vapors and dangerous drivers. Once again, be careful!

Leak detector tripped Check your line leak detector. You may have a leak in the
line that has tripped the leak detector.
Nozzle or Breakaway Bad nozzle or breakaway. Replace as necessary.
Valve problem Is the valve properly connected to the CPU? If this is a
Master / Satellite site, has the valve connection been moved
to the Satellite board for the Master? If not, move the valve
from the CPU connection J4 and connect it on the satellite
board J2 (make sure power is off to the dispenser before you
do this!)
System does not “Reset” Handle Switch Check your handle switch. Is the jumper on the handle
switch in the proper position? Are the handle switch wires
connected properly (refer to the Handle Switch section of this
manual).
Programming Problem if using Pulse Make sure mode 21 is set for RS485 and that if there are 2
Output CPU’s or more, that mode 22 is set for the correct address.
The P.O.B. needs to talk to each CPU, so therefore, each
CPU should be addressed properly. Make sure product 1
CPU is set for address 1 and CPU 2 is set for address 2 (if
there is more than 1 CPU in the dispenser.
Intrinsically Safe Barrier It is possible the barrier circuit is bad. This is why the handle
isn’t being recognized. Move a known good barrier circuit to
this position and retest.
No Price in Price Window If the hose does not have a price the pump will not reset. Go
to mode 4 and set a price if all else fails.
No authorization from Console If the system is programmed for Current Loop or RS 485 in
mode 21 and no authorization is received the pump will not
reset. Check mode 21 to make sure it is programmed
correctly.
Wiring problem If the unit is in Current Loop OR RS485 mode, it is possible
that the polarity of the wiring is reversed. This would explain
why the authorization signal is not being received from the
console. Check the actual wiring against the installation
drawing in the back of this manual. It is also possible that
one or more of the wires has come loose from the terminal
strip. Check this as well.
RAM corrupted It is possible that the RAM needs to be cleared. Go to mode
83 and perform a RAM clear procedure and retest. Some
system programming will be needed to be rechecked after
the RAM clear.
CPU problem If all of the above has been checked, it is possible that the
CPU is the problem. Replace with a known good CPU and
retest.
