Precautions

DANGER:

The Compac OPT is NOT suitable for mounting in a hazardous area. Please

consult the site's zone drawings to find the exact positions of the hazardous areas for each

particular site.

For adequately ventilated fuel dispensing sites (not including CNG/NGV), in most cases the

following will apply:

▪ The unit is not designed to be constantly exposed to the elements. A shelter should

be installed to protect it.

▪ The card reader and PIN pad should face away from the prevailing wind especially

in dusty or wet areas.

▪ In areas experiencing extremes of weather (heat, cold, wind, rain, salt spray etc.)

consideration should be given to installing additional shelter.

▪ The OPT location or protection should be such as to minimise the possibility of

damage from vehicles, trailers, boats, or the like.

▪ On heavy vehicle sites, mounting the unit on a raised pad and/or installing bollards

to help protect from damage should be considered.

▪ If mounting on a post, the base needs to be attached to a smooth, level surface of

sufficient strength to securely hold the retaining bolts or fasteners.

▪ The OPT should be placed at least 8 metres from any above ground flammable

liquid storage or handling facility other than a dispenser.

▪ The OPT should be placed at least 0.5 metres from any flammable liquid fuel

dispensers and 1.5 metres from any LPG dispensers.

▪ The OPT should be mounted so that the base of the cabinet is at least 1.2 metres

above the ground. If mounted on the post supplied by Compac it will be 1.2 metres

high.

▪ Whenever running a cable through the post into the base of the cabinet always

ensure that the cable entry into the cabinet uses a vapour tight gland.

▪ If the OPT post is within 4 metres of a dispenser or within 1 metre of the end of any

fuel dispenser hose, then the entire interior of the post may be considered a

hazardous area. Any cables running through, or electrical equipment mounted in

the post should be suitable for that hazardous area (refer AS/NZS 2381).

▪ Generally the area below the OPT may be a hazardous area and therefore some

appropriate signage may be required e.g. no smoking.

▪ Lighting should be provided during the hours of operation. Lighting should be

sufficient to provide safe working conditions that include, but are not limited to,

clear visibility of all markings on packages, signs, instruments and other necessary

items.

NOTE: A minimum value of 50 lux is recommended.

These requirements do not apply to any specific site but are merely recommendations that

will apply in most cases. The owner/installer must ensure that the installation complies with

AS/NZS 3000, AS 1940, and any other applicable regulations.
