1 General Information

1.1 Controller Type

For the purpose of this document Allied Controller refers to NeXGen, NeXGen Prime, and Aegis.
Refer to the controller specific User Manual for connection, firmware download, and configuration
requirements.

1.2 Wiring
Field Wiring
All field wiring (that is, all wiring connected directly to dispensing devices) should be oil
and gas resistant, as required by Paragraph 501-13 of the NEC, and should be sealed
in accordance with Article 500 of the NEC.

Internal Wiring

1.2.2.1 Introduction
a. The purpose of this section is to provide a list of installation practices that we feel are crucial
to ensure error-free communications.
b. All cabling must comply with Local, State, and Federal building codes.
c. Data connections between the Forecourt Controller are to be made with CAT-5 Cable
compliant with TIA/EIA-568-B or better.
d. Proper cable installation techniques go a long way to preventing data loss.

1.2.2.2 Planning
a. Pull cables in continuous runs.
b. Do not splice any communications cables.
c. Separate all cables from fluorescent lighting ballasts and neon sign transformers by at least 4
feet.
d. Separate all cables from electrical supply conductors by at least 2 feet.
e. Provide extra wire for service loops at the termination points but do not leave more than is
required.

Page 4 of 39
Allied Controllers
 1.2.2.3 Execution

a. Maintain the natural twist of the cable.

i. The cables have four pairs of twisted wires that can very easily lose their ability to reject
electromagnetic interference when unraveled.
ii. Pay-out cable from spools so that the spool rotates.

b. Avoid kinking and over-stressing the cable.

i. Kinks not only pick up interference, but can cause the jacket to chafe and internal
conductors to break.
ii. Never exert more than 25 pounds of tension when pulling a communications cable.

c. Provide a generous bend radius whenever the cable turns a corner.

i. Never bend the cable more than 90 degrees.
ii. Limit the bend to a 3 inch radius.
iii. Use a 1 pound coffee can as a guide.
d. Support all cabling in both horizontal and vertical planes.
i. Unsupported horizontal cable runs, especially above drop ceilings, are problematic.
ii. In the event that cable trays are not available, the cabling can be secured with zip-ties,
hook clips, J-hooks, or plastic coated staples provided they are spaced no greater than
2’ apart.
iii. Do not use utility piping or drop ceiling grid-work to secure or support communications
cables.

e. Protect the cable from mechanical damage and install appropriate fire blocking whenever
cables pass through floors or walls.
f. Install carefully all zip-ties ensuring that they do not bite into the cable through excessive force.
g. Label both ends of all cables.
h. Use the proper punch down tool and ensure it is set properly.
i. Remove as little of the jacket as possible.
ii. Untwist the conductors as little as possible.

1.2.2.4 Testing
a. Inspect thoroughly all cables for damage after they are pulled and before they are bundled or
otherwise secured.
b. Perform a continuity test of all pairs.

2 Installation Information
2.1 Procedures
Hardware Installation- Aegis & NeXGen Prime
For the purpose of this section the below images are samples from an Aegis Controller.
Installation procedures are the same for Aegis, NeXGen, and NeXGen Prime.

a. Attach the two mounting brackets to the Allied controller as shown in figure 2.
b. Mount the Allied controller unit to the mounting area using the mounting holes as shown in figure
2. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requires that the Allied Controller be mounted horizontally to
the floor on a shelf perpendicular to the wall. The bottom of the unit should lay flat on the
mounting surface. The mounting brackets secure the Allied Controller to the mounting surface.
c. Route and connect all communication cables as labeled. Refer to “Configuration Diagrams”
section (see figure 3).
d. Apply AC power to unit by turning the power switch to the ON position (see figure 4).

Allied Controllers
3 Startup
Take note that the term ANDI refers to the Allied Network Dispenser Interface – which is the
protocol on which the embedded forecourt controller application is based.

After power is applied the INtime RTOS will start up and run the ANDI application.
The Allied controller will beep indicating the events listed in section 3.1 were successful.

3.1 Audible feedback

a. BIOS boot: one or several short beeps, shortly after power is applied.
b. ANDI application startup: two beeps.
c. ANDI has acquired an IP address: three beeps.

3.2 Shutdown
The entire system may be safely shut down by pressing the power key.

If a shutdown is initiated, it is critical to wait for the shutdown to complete before removing the
power cord. Shutdown is complete when the power and disk LEDs go out and the fan stops
spinning.

4 Programming
4.1 Tokheim Addressing
Tokheim Model #67 Interface boxes
Tokheim manufactures two model #67 interface boxes, model #67A and #67B. The 67B
interface box must be “downgraded” to be a #67A in order for it to communicate to an
Allied Controller. The 67B interface box will not operate with any Allied interface systems.

The downgrade consists of the following changes:

1. Disconnect J6 and J8 from the interface motherboard (Part# 316386-1).

2. Disconnect J3 from the interface power supply board (Part# 421483-1). This board
is only in the 67B interface box.

3. J3, J6 and J8 make up a complete cable assembly. Discard the entire assembly.

4. Disconnect J4 from the power supply board and connect it into J6 on the
motherboard.

Note: Once this “downgrade” is completed, the 67 box will communicate with the Allied
interface.

Allied Controllers
 Tokheim Dispensers and DPTs
Two Channels (5 and 6) have been designated to communicate with the Tokheim dispensers.
Each Channel can accommodate up to 16 fueling positions. The address of the first fueling position
on Channel 5 will be set to address “1”, the second to address “2” etc. If Channel 6 is used, the
address of the first fueling position connected on this Channel will also be set to address “1”, the
second to address “2” etc. See example.

Two Channel (7) has been designated to communicate with the Tokheim DPTs. The DPT device
address must be the same as the fueling position number.

The Allied Controller uses channel 8 to communicate with the OPW OPT. Up to 16 OPT’s can be supported and
software Version 18.01A, or newer, must be installed. The OPT uses decimal address 32 – 47.

 Dispenser Programming

Mode 26 of the dispenser programming must be configured correctly for the blend ratios.
The programming screen for the dispenser is shown below, for variable blenders.

Ratios for left

piped product Total Sale
F 26 02

product 0 piped product

1) In mode 26 on the right side of the gallon display window a 0 ,1 or 2 may be showing in the
gallon window. This option sets the Blender type.

0 = Blender used without ratio verification*

1 = Blender used with ratio verification*
2 = Blender used with a controller that does not support blenders

* ratio verification - The POS ratios must match the dispenser ratios. If the ratios do not
match, an error message, “ Blend Ratio Error”, will be displayed on the dispenser card
reader, if present, when the customer attempts to reset and begin fueling the blended product.

2) Set the blender ratios. Each product has two ratios which are displayed in the PPG
windows:

Top line = ratio of the left piped product

Bottom line = ratio of the right piped product

As shown in the figure above, the left piped product has 100 % of the high grade and 0 % of
the low grade. The right piped product has 0 % of the high grade and 100 % of the low grade.

The blend product allows the left (top) grade to be set, and automatically adjusts the bottom
grade ratio so the sum of the ratios equals 100. The Blended Fuels Ratios settings in the
POS must match the dispenser setting.

 Product to Position Mapping

Tokheim dispensers do not require special product to position mapping in the POS Fueling
Point Configuration menu. The products are set to positions 1 through 3 for a 3 product
dispenser, positions 1 through 4 for a 4 product dispenser and positions 1 through 5 for a 5
product dispenser. The table below lists the proper product to position assignment for a 4
product dispenser.

The blender type setting for each fueling point must be set properly to one of the values listed
below.

2 = Fixed blender
3 = Variable blender or Variable + 1 with the non blended products set as “non” in Mode 26
4 = Variable blender with the non blended product set as a ratio
5 = Variable blender + 1 with the non blended product set as a ratio

Position Product
1 Low grade
2 Blended product
3 High grade
4 Diesel
5 Not assigned
6 Not assigned
7 Not assigned
8 Not assigned

* The low grade and the high grade products may be switched depending on the position of
the dispenser and the installation of the product lines.

Tokheim Debit Keypad Modules

The Tokheim Debit Keypad Modules must be ordered from Tokheim for a specific

 4.4 Peripheral Devices
Tank Gauge Systems
The Allied Controller uses Channel 2 to interface to either the Veeder-Root tank gauge system
or compatible system. The controller is connected to the serial board on a device and it may be
connected to the DIM board on a TLS 350R.

When the controller is connected to the DIM board on a TLS 350R, it will send real-time fuel
transaction data (i.e. sale started, sale complete, volume dispensed, meter reading etc.). This is
accomplished by implementing the Veeder-Root Dispenser Interface Protocol (a proprietary
interface defined by Veeder-Root for the TLS 350R). This will allow the TLS to utilize the
AccuChart Automatic Tank Calibration feature for underground storage tank reconciliation.

Configure the TLS-250/350/350R or the Red Jacket communication parameters as follows:

Baud Rate - 9600, Parity - Odd, Stop Bits - 1, Data Bits - 7

Notes:

On a TLS-250, the communication parameters are set using a rotary switch and some DIP
switches, (please refer to the TLS 250 manual).

On a TLS-350/350R, the communication parameters are programmed via the TLS keyboard
(please refer to the TLS 350/350R manual).

No additional controller configuration is needed. The Allied Controller will automatically check if it
is connected to a DIM card. Otherwise, the controller will not send any Dispenser Interface
commands to the TLS. Communicating with other devices requires POS programming.

Allied Controllers
 Car Wash Controllers
The following requirements must be met in order for the Car Wash controllers to communicate
to the Allied Controller.

Car Wash controller Software Version

Ryko Code A Wash III “8B” or newer
Ryko Code A Wash IV “V” (1)
Unitec POS 4000 “6.50” or newer (2)
Unitec Portal Ti Any version
Unitec/Enterlink Any version
Unitec Smart terminal
Kesseltronics Any version
PDQ Any version

Notes:

1. The Ryko Code-A-Wash IV should communicate to the Allied Controller using any
version of software. However, Ryko recommends that the controller be upgraded to
the latest version.

2. The Unitec software must be able to support External POS 1, 2 or 3. This information
may be found either on the PROM label which is located inside the controller, or via
the configuration report printed from the controller. There will be a line on the report
indicating the “External POS” type.

a. The Unitec controller must be programmed to use the Ryko protocol. See section
6.2.10 in the External POS Menu of the Unitec manual. Set POS offset to “0”,
Down. Set External POS type to “2”. Set baud rate to 9600.

b. If the Unitec hardware version is 6.1, a (SA1606) 9 pin adapter (which can be
ordered from Unitec, if required) must be used to connect the serial port to the
communication cable. If the hardware version is 6.2 or higher, the communication
cable must be connected directly to the 9 pin serial port.

c. To distinguish the difference between 6.1 type hardware and 6.2 type hardware,
look at the label attached to the base of the unit. If the Model field has “POS4000”
then it unit is equipped with 6.1hardware. If it has “POS4000/2” (or /3 etc.) then it
is equipped with 6.2 or higher hardware. The 6.2 and higher cable pinouts are
standard for a 9-pin DTE serial port, which is not the case for 6.1units.

3. The Ryko Code A Wash II will not work with the Allied Controller. It can be upgraded
to a Code A Wash III.

 Fuel Price Signs
The Allied Controller supports the Future Media Display (FMD) protocol. The use of the FMD
electronic price sign is configurable and can be mapped to an available serial RS232 port via the
Allied Diagnostic (ANDI_DGS) utility.

The following signs communicate with the Allied Controller via the use of the ANDI protocol
message set. These devices physically connect to an available POS RS232 for communications.

• PWM
• Daktronics
• Skyline
• Sunshine

The controllers noted above may have specific software version requirements for the support of the
ANDI protocol interface. Please contact the respective manufacturer for specific details.

Other sign integrations are currently under development. Please contact Allied Electronics, Inc. for
up to date details regarding other possible signs that have integrated to the controller.
