Section 3 Configuration
A Hand Held Programmer (HHP) is used to interface to the Scufly Automated Fueling
System (SAFS"‘). The HHP this three operating modes:
Programmer - At the time of VDC installation, the HHP programs the VDC with the
desired information to identify the vehicle and keep track of important vehicle
parameters.
Calculate Pulse Factor - This is used initially to automatically calculate the
odometer ratio also referred to as Pulse Factor. This may also be used periodically
to adjust for slight variation between the dashboard odometer and the VDC
odometer readings.
Manual Authorizer - Manually Authorizes the pump for a single transaction on
equipment which may not be registered as part of the fleet, and does not have 3.
VDC installed. '
fig Important
It is strongly recommended that users of the HHP be limited to
the administrative service attendants and installation technicians.

Do not program 3 VDC when the vehicle's engine is running.
Make sure the vehicle is shut off during programming.
VDC Program Data Sheet
As you will see, there are many fields that may be programmed into 51 VDC. It is helpful
to write all of the data into a. chart as you program a VDC. At the end of this manual,
there is a sample chart that you can use to tailor your system.
Following is the information recorded in the VDC:
Vehicle [D
Twelve characters alphanumeric string identifying the specific vehicle.
[@ Important
Every VDC must have a unique Vehicle ID because SAFS’" uses
Vehicle lD as well as Fleet ID to monitor on-going transactions to
tell if the male is still inserted into the same vehicle/equipment.
Fleet ID
A maximum five digit numeric string (1 to 65534) will identify the fleet or department
the vehicle is assigned to.
[@ Important
Every VDC must have a Fleet ID because SAFS’" uses Vehicle ID as
well as Fleet lD to monitor on-going transactions to tell if the nozzle
is still inserted into the same vehicle/equipment.
Engine Hours
This field is 7 whole digits and 2 decimal places indicating the amount of time the
vehicle’s engine has been running. For vehicle's equipped with an hour meter, use the
meter reading for Engne Hours, otherwise select a default value. The VDC counts time
in increments of approximately 4 seconds once this signal is at +12 or +24 volts.
Odometer
This field is 7 whole digits and 2 decimal places indicating the current vehicle mileage.
Use the reading from the vehicles dashboard odometer with any rollover factored il'L
The VDC receives odometer data as a series of pulses and counts in 1/100 of a. mile.
Pulse Factor
The Conversion factor to interpret the number of pulses from the odometer to the
number of rnjles traveled The maximum value of the Pulse Factor is 131070. If the
vehicle specification is not known, use CALC PUISE FACTOR feature to narrow
down to the correct Pulse Factor.

Install Odometer
This field is 7 whole digits and 2 decimal places indicating the vehicle mileage at the
time of VDC initial installation. Enter the reading from the vehicles dashboard odome-
ter with any rollover factored in.
TX Interval
VCOMM broadcast cutoff time after the engine is turned off is TX Interval. This feature
reduces VDC's vehicle battery consumption from 40 milli amp during normal operation
to 20 milli amp during NO VCOMM (also referred as sleep mode). The default time
for this post eng'ne shutdown sleep time is 256 minutes (approximately 4 hours);
maximum interval time is 45 days. TX interval is reset every time Eng'ne Hour signal
is set to +12 volt or +24 volt OR when Odometer pulses are received.
[@ Important
If there is no Engine Hour signal or no Odometer pulses, the VDC
will remain in NO VCOMM (sleep) and fueling is not permitted
TX With Engine On (YIN)
Allows VDC VCOMM broadcast with engine ON. Default is N (no), fueling permitted
only when engine is off. If it is desired to fuel while the eng‘ne is numing, this field
should be set to Y (yes).
After completion of programming you will be prompted with the following three
screens before going back to the main menu. Verify the data shown is correct;
otherwise go back to the PROGRAMMJNG mode and change the data from main menu.
Odometer Pulse Factor
The VDC receives odometer data as a series of pulses. These pulses may come from
sensors mounted to the transmission, transmde, transaxle, or drive shaft The number
of pulses of the odometer transducer required to register one mile is called Pulse
Factor. The Pulse Factor is affected by several factors such as, fire size, axle ratio,
and transmission specifications.
3.4.1 Mechanical Odometer Cable
Older vehicles use a mechanical cable to deliver odometer pulses to the dashboard.
To allow the VDC to record these pulses, a transducer should have been purchased
and installed according to the VDC Installation section The formula for mechanical
odometer Pulse Factor is:
Cable revaluations per mile multiplied by sensor pulses per revolution
Cable revaluations per mile is the number of revolutions the mechanical cable tums
for each mile. This can be found in the transmission specification For domestic
vehicles the typical value is 1000 revs/mile and for foreigi vehicles is 900 revs/mile.
scu\l7\/\ 18
Section 3 ...... __.._ Programming and System Checkout
Sensor pulses per revolution is the number of electronic pulses generated for each
revolution of the sensor input. This is determined by the sensor manufacturer and may
be stamped on the sensor. A typical value is 8 pulses per revolution. Therefore, the
typical Pulse Factor for a domestic vehicle is 8000 and for a foreign vehicle it is 7200.
3.4.2 Electronic Odometer
On newer vehicles, the odometer signal to the VDC is tapped off an existing sensor.
There are several ways to determine the electronic odometer Pulse Factor.
Match Working Vehicle. If a previously equipped vehicle is keeping accurate
odometer data in the VDC, use that same Pulse Factor for all other similar vehicles
in the fleet.
Use Erig'ne Computer Ratio. Over~theroad trucks have smart engines allowing you
to view many parameters through the diagnostic port It the VDC odometer input is
tapped off of the same signal source as the dashboard speedometer, you can use the
speedometer ratio stored in the engine computer for the VDC Pulse Factor.
Calculate From Vehicle Specs. Ii’the VDC odometer input is directly from the
speedometer sensor mounted in the transmission, you may be able to calculate the
correct ratio using specs from the vehicle manufacturer. Although there are variations
among manufacturers and vehicle types, a typical speedometer system on a rear-
driveaxle vehicle is described here. There is a gear, usually called the speedometer
signal gear, mounted to the output shaft of the transmission. The speedometer sensor
is mounted to the transmission so that its tip is in close proximity to the signal gear-”s
teeth. A permanent magnet located in the speedometer sensor establishes a magnetic
field at the tip. The magnetic field is repeatedly cut by the teeth on the signal gear,
creating alternating current voltage impulses that are transmitted to the speedometer.
The frequency and amplitude of the signal is directly proportional to the speed of
the signal gear. The speed of the signal gear is determined by the rotation of the
drive shaft, which is determined by the drive axle ratio and tire size. Therefore,
the number of pulses-per-mile from the speedometer sensor is calculated from the
following formula.-
Number of teeth on signal gear multiplied by Lire revolution per mile multiplied
by drive axle ratio
Number of teeth on signal gearis found in the transmission specifications.
A typical number of teeth is 16.
Tire molution per mile can be found in the tire manufacturer's spec sheet.
These figures are standard throughout the tire industry. For example, a new Michelin“
275/80R22.5 tire turns 514 revolutions per mile.
Drive axle ratio can be found in the manufacturer’s line setting tickets, and also
on a tag attached to the differential assembly on rear wheel drive vehicles.
If you do not know the vehicle specification, CALC PULSE FACTOR will help you
to determine the Pulse Factor. This feature is also used when you are required to
narrow down or recalibrate to the correct Pulse Factor after a. vehicle has traveled
for a few weeks.

3.5 CALC Pulse Factor
At the time of initial VDC programming, enter 4000 as default Pulse Factor and drive
the vehicle for a minimum of 10 miles. Make a note of the vehicle odometer reading
turn the vehicle HHP on and:
- Select CALC PULSE FACTOR mode and hold HHP coil near the vehicle transmitter
coil to establish and maintain conununication during calculation process.
- Press ENTER key and enter the data as prompted on the HHP display.
- HHP automatically calculates the new Pulse Factor and updates both VDC
Odometer and Install Odometer based on the data entered.
3.6 Testing the Programmed VDC
The HHP VERIFY function reads and displays data from a programmed VDC. It is the
easiest way to confirm that the VDC is transmitting information, To test, turn on the
HHP and hold its ring over a VDC T-Ring. Press the VERIFY key and immediately the
display fills with data. Check that parameters are correct. If there is no display, replace
programmer battery and check programmer operation on another VDC:
0 Compare displayed vehicle identity to its nameplate.
- Check displayed fleet identification against prescribed parameters.
° When the odometer monitoring option is used, check displayed value against
vehicle mileage.
0 When the odometer monitoring option is used, compare displayed Pulse Facwr
value with prescribed parameter.
0 When the engine ON monitoring option is used, compare displayed value against
vehicle’s hour meter, If the vehicle is not equipped with hour meter, compare with
prescribed parameters.
0 For vehicles with two T—Rings, repeat the above. Parameters should be identical to
those of the first T—Ring.
3.7 Manual Authorizer
The Manual Authorizer mode is used to authorize (turn on) a pump for one
transaction. This allows vehicles or other non—VDC equipped vessels to receive fuel
and transmits important fleet management information to the System Controller,
which keeps track of refueling transactions.
To operate the Manual Authorizer.
- Place the pump nozzle into the fuel inlet of the vehicle.
Tum ON the HHP.
- Select mode 3. MANUAL AUTHORIZER.
- Enter the data as prompted on the HHP display
- Hold HHP Coil within a few inches of the pump’s Nozzle Ring (N-Ring) for 10 secs.

0 The pump is now authorized for one transaction
fig Important
VEHICLE ID and FLEET ID data must be entered to authorize the
pump. It is strongly recommended to enter MILEAGE and ENGINE
HOURS data, however, they are not required to authorize the pump.
Section 4 Maintenance
4.1
The VDC requires no maintenance other than a recalibration of the mileage for tire
wear, tire change, or any change to the power train Before attempting to perform
recalibration, consider the tolerance of mileage discrepancy due to tire wear and
odometer accuracy During vehicle preventive maintenance inspection, check
and verify:
- That the VDC is securely insmlled to the mounting surface.
0 Inspect all connections for corrosion.
o Make sure all connectors are well mated.
- Harness routing and fastening.
- The T—Ring wiring has a minimum of 2 inches clearance from any other wiring.
- Wiring connections for correct wiring (according to wiring diagram).
- Make sure the VDC wiring and harness is not attached to the steering column,
brake cables, hydraulic or pneumatic conduits.
- When a transducer is included in the installation, make sure there is a tight
connection between the harness and transducer.
Troubleshooting
If the VDC fails to progam, using a voltmeter, check the red and black power lines
for 12 or 24 volts. The switched 12V or 24V input (yellow wire) for monitoring engine
hours must also be off (zero volts). Check these points with a voltmeter: If the voltage
is out of range, troubleshoot the vehicle's electrical installation. Check harness wires
for exposed conductors that could cause a short circuit Inspect the connector pin
of the harness for damage and possible short. Check wiring for loose connections.
21 sculIyAA
Section 4

4.4
.. Service and Maintenance
Measure the resistance for 2 to 4 ohms of the T—Ring and check the polarity of the
T—Ring wiring. Connect another good T~Ring or else replace the unit if the unit won’t
program. Once the VDC is programmed, it is ready to receive fuel. If the vehicle cannot
be refueled, check the following:
0 Incorrect programming of the vehicle identity (ID)
- Incorrect programming of the fleet identity (ID)
- Vehicle ID is not in the system’s computer authorized vehicle list
- Fleet ID is not in the system‘s computer authorized fleet list
If the VDC is faulty, it must be replaced. It can not be repaired.
Battery Life Conservation Setting (Sleep Mode)
The VDC unit typically draws 40 mA with one T—Ring operating and 60 m with two
T~Rings operating. A sleep mode feature has been incorporated into the VDC, which
when activated, reduces power draw on the vehicle’s battery when the vehicle is not
in operation While in sleep mode the draw on the battery is reduced to 20 mA. When
sleep mode is in effect the vehicle cannot communicate as an authorized vehicle to
receive fuel.
Vehicles such as police cars with constant power drawing accessories and vehicles not
used over a long period of time (example 2 weeks) should be programmed with a short
activating sleep mode to conserve battery draw.
The self—discharge rate for a typical automotive battery is 1096 per month, This is
equivalent to 8.3 mA constant draw. For a brand new battery with 425 CCA (cold
cranking amps) it would take approximately 10 weeks to self-discharge to 350 CCA,
a worst-case starter requirement.
T-Ring Maintenance
The T—Rings require no specific maintenance; however, for safety reasons no fuel
should be allowed to accumulate on the T—Rings. Any T—Ring whose outer case has
been damaged by impact or excessive wear should be replaced. The cause of such
wear should be addressed by repositioning the T—Ring for protection of its wires.
Odometer Transducer Maintenance
Some odometer transducers require periodic greasing. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions to avoid accelerated wear. The pulse factor to be programmed for
each vehicle is a function of the gearing, the tire size and the number of poles per
shaft rotation.
