1/1/2014 - Dip Switch Change
Systems manufactured after 1/1/2014 and starting with Serial #2322 Dip switch positions 9 & 10 have been eliminated on the Input Module. Position 9 was for the Test LED and it has also been eliminated.
2011 - The paragraph below has been modified in the NFPA 70, 2011 National Electrical Code to read as follows.
514.13 Provisions for Maintenance and Service of Dispensing Equipment. Each dispensing device shall be provided with a means to remove all external voltage sources, including power, communications, data and video circuits and including feedback, during periods of maintenance and service of the dispensing equipment. The location of this means shall be permitted to be other than inside or adjacent to the dispensing device. The means shall be capable of being locked in the open position.
1/6/2009 - Installation and/or Service Certification?
Installation and/or Service Training is not needed for our equipment. If a letter stating so is required click here.
5/6/2008 - Fuses changed.
All EDC's shipped after May 6, 2008 will have 5 Amp Fast Blow fuses installed on each output of the RPS board (output bd.). This will prevent the RPS board from being damaged due to mis-wiring. Since these fuses are not readily available each system will be shipped with 2 spare fuses.
The Slow Blow Fuses were still causing problems.
2008 - Paragraph 514.13 has NOT been modified in the NFPA 70, 2008 National Electrical Code.
2005 - The paragraph below has been modified in the NFPA 70, 2005 National Electrical Code to read as follows.

2/15/1998 - Fuses added.
All EDC's shipped after March 1, 1998 will have 5 Amp SB fuses installed on each output of the RPS board (output bd.). This will prevent the RPS board from being damaged due to mis-wiring. Since these fuses are not readily available each system will be shipped with 2 spare fuses.
3/25/1997 - Input & Selector Board, Matrix Switch Change.
Our input board switches have changed, the matrix switch that we used in the past is no longer available. To keep our system as simple as possible we have changed to a dip switch that will function the same as the old switch.
When setting these switches, do not set any input switch to turn on more than one output.
There is one exception to this. More than one switch can be set on applications where it is necessary to turn on two submersible pumps at one time using only one input. Caution, if any input is set to turn on only one of these submersible pumps, both pumps will always turn on.
