Description
Jigsaw Eclipse Fuel Management System
The Jigsaw Eclipse has been designed to be the first of a new generation of real time, web based fuel management systems. The Eclipse does not rely on being polled, as with older systems, but automatically connects to a central server in real time. Stock figures are always current and you can see fuellings on the web site as they occur.
Calling on many years experience designing fuel management systems, weaknesses have been designed out, and reliability designed in, resulting in a system which will give a lifetime of dependable service.
The Eclipse uses the mobile Phone Data Network to communicate with a Central web Service in real time removing the requirement for a dedicated phone line or any need for a connection to your internal computer or Wi Fi networks.
Features
- Self Contained Communications, no telephone line required
- Real Time Authorisation to Central Web Server
- Real Time Fuelling Transaction Forwarding
- Switch Mode Power Supply accepts wide voltage range and protects against mains fluctuations
- 12/24 Volt DC Variant available
- Battery Back Up - System Operates even if Mains Fail
- Manages up to 4 Pumps Simultaneously
- Mechanical or Serial Pump Interfaces available
- Reliable (Non-Membrane) Alphanumeric Keypad
- 4 Line x 20, Large Character, Backlit, LCD Display
- Widest Range of ID Options available
- Interfaces to most Electronic Tank Gauging Systems
- Integrated Local Management Functions
Additional Information
Modular Design
The Eclipse has been designed to be easy to Install, service and maintain. Often not considered in the design of a terminal, the ability to test, maintain and change components easily makes for a well managed system with long term reliability.
Reliable Electronics and Software
The Eclipse IS NOT designed around a PC, and DOES NOT use a third party operating system such as Windows – both things wholly unsuited to use on a fuel island. The Eclipse is based around the ultra reliable ARM CORTEX RISC Microprocessor and ALL the internal software has been written and is supported by Jigsaw. This avoids exposure to computer viruses and hackers, means that there are no third party updates to manage and ensures that your system will give many years of reliable service.
Opto Isolated Interfaces
To ensure maximum accuracy of the pump interface, it is imperative that there can be no interference from voltage differences, spikes and earthing problems so the Eclipse uses an Opto isolated interface between the pump and Fuel terminal.
Heavy Duty Power Switching
The Eclipse has a modular power box which contains the power supply, motor power relays and override switches. Because of the high instantaneous switching currents on pump motors, our relays are rated at 30 Amps peak with a 10 Amp load. Each relay is fitted with a snubber network to protect the relay contacts from damage over time from electrical arcs – another detail ensuring long term system reliability.
Forgiving Power Supply
However good the rest of the system, if the power supply cant give reliable, stable, spike free power, then nothing else matters. The eclipse has a wide input range (90 to 250 Volts) switch mode power supply so that whatever fluctuations there are on the mains supply, or fed back from pump motors, the system will be able to rely on a a constant supply voltage. The 12/24 volt option for mobile bowser installations has the ability to filter out the dips and spikes typical in vehicle systems.
