Section 2 System Overview
2.1. General
This section provides a detailed description of the Site PRIME system, as well as
the available configurations, system specifications, and communication
standards.
2.2. System Description
Site PRIME is an innovative product that enables refueling in homebase gas
stations for a fleets’ authorized vehicles or drivers. Site PRIME electronically
locks all dispensers and pumps, ensuring that only appropriately authorized
vehicles and plants receive the required fuel. The system also ensures accurate
recording of each transaction.
The heart of the homebase station solution is the SiteOmat automation
software. SiteOmat runs on an embedded operating system on the controller
unit (nOrCU). The controller is an embedded hardware platform designed to
survive the harsh gas station environment. It uses a solid-state flash disk and
Site PRIME Installation Manual 5
RTC (Real Time Clock) with backup, along with surge suppressors for transient
and noise immunity. The system also includes power fail recovery
mechanisms.
2.2.1. Automatic Vehicle Identification
Vehicle Identification is an important option for maximal control and savings
on fuel expenditure. The dispenser is authorized to refuel after a positive
identification of the vehicle and only while the nozzle is inside the fuel inlet of
the identified vehicle. All transaction information is automatically recorded. A
combination of vehicle and driver identification is also possible for tight
tracking.
2.2.2. Remote Web Access
Remote Web-based capabilities for monitoring, management, and
maintenance are available. A standard PC with an internet browser (Google
Chrome / Microsoft Edge) is used for management of the site either locally or
remotely (secured). There is no need for special management software thanks
to the built-in Web server technology integrated into the station controller and
the large variety of communication links supported – both wired and wireless.
2.2.3. Fleet Head Office
Centralized management is provided by the optional Fleet Head Office server.
The Fleet Head Office consolidates the data from multiple sites and generates
reports, including exception reports. It also enables control of the limits and
restrictions placed on the various fleet vehicles. Furthermore, authorized fleet
personnel are able to log-in remotely and have full control over the forecourt.
2.2.4. Restrictions and Limits
Control of a fleet’s fuel expenses can be controlled by defining limits (day,
week, month), maximum number of refueling (per day, week, month), and
setting restrictions (days of the week, fuel type, stations, time intervals). In case
of system configuration for multiple sites, the centralized Fleet Head Office
needs to synchronize the data between all sites so that the limits can be
applied to a whole system rather than to an individual site. In case of
communication failure, the specific site will be able to refuel for a predefined
grace period using the most recent limits stored in its database.
6 Site PRIME Installation Manual
2.2.5. Site PRIME Capabilities for Forecourt Management
Site PRIME provides the following operational features for a comprehensive
forecourt management:
Supports over 50 different types of dispensers used around the world.
This product has only been evaluated for use with UL Listed Dispensers.
Advanced electronic support of mechanical dispensers, enabling pumps
with totalizer, preset, and price update
Tank Level Gauging System (TLG) available for several brands. This
product has only been evaluated for use with UL Listed TLGs
Support of a wide variety of communication links: cellular, VPN, satellite,
ADSL and more.
2.2.6. System Workflows
The following are examples of operational workflows for self-service at the
homebase station.
Site PRIME Installation Manual 7
2.2.6.1. Refueling Scenario with VIU
A driver stops for fuel at the station. Their authorization device for the fueling
transaction is a Vehicle Identification Unit (VIU) mounted in the vehicle. The
driver lifts the nozzle and inserts it in the car fuel inlet.
The VIU information is automatically read and sent to the site controller (Site
PRIME) for authentication and approval. Upon approval, the fueling transaction
starts. Once the refueling is completed, the driver replaces the nozzle back to
the pump. At the end of the transaction, the data is kept internally and
transferred to the Fleet Head Office (FHO) for future billing.
2.2.6.2. Refueling Scenario with Magnetic Cards
A driver stops for fuel at the station. His authorization device for the fueling
transaction is a magnetic card. The client swipes the card through the
magnetic card reader on the payment panel.
The magnetic card information is read and sent to the site controller (Site
PRIME) for authentication and approval. The client lifts the nozzle and inserts it
in the car inlet. On approval, the fueling transaction starts, at the end of which
the transaction data is kept internally. The data is transferred to the Fleet Head
Office (FHO) for future billing.
The client may add more data to the transaction, by manually entering the
information using the payment panel keyboard. After the refueling is
completed, the driver replaces the nozzle to pump.
2.2.7. Main Components
The following provides a description of Site PRIME main sub units.
2.2.7.1. Orpak Controller Unit (nOrCU)
Orpak Controller Unit (nOrCU) is a complete forecourt controller with its own
embedded operating system. The unit consists of an embedded hardware
platform with a solid state flash storage, Real Time Clock (RTC) with a back up.
nOrCU features two separate and isolated networks (TCP/IP over Ethernet).
One network links the OrIC Prime system components. The second network is
intended for external remote communication (Head Office, 3rd party systems).
This network is protected by SSL security. nOrCU includes a built in server for
Web access through an internet browser. (see Figure 2-1).

Check the PDB wiring and ensure a separate Mains Circuit Breaker
(MCB) for each socket/device that requires power.
Wire one 0.4" (10mm) ground cable from the mains ground
connection to the PDB.
Note: If there is any doubt concerning grounding, ask for a ground
test, which must be performed by a qualified electrician.
3.5.3. Grounding
Proper system grounding is an extremely important part of the system
installation.
As with the AC power, the grounds for all system components should return to
the same circuit breaker panel. This assures a common ground throughout the
system, necessary for protection of the RS-485 data loop circuitry.
Ground for all system devices should be wired to the breaker panel ground
bus bar, which in turn should be grounded to a ground rod. A conduit ground
does not provide sufficient grounding. It is recommended that the neutral and
ground bus bars be bonded together when it is not prohibited by local codes.
Note: If the Site PRIME is being installed on a pole, all cables and
conduits must be run to the bottom of the pole (entering the pole
from the base). The cables have to be long enough to run through
the pole to the Site PRIME.
