SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
I NO USER-SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS
The FuelMaker FM4 Modules (Control Module,
Compression Modnle, and Eledronics Module)
can only be field-replaced by FuelMaker personnel
or those specifically trained and authonzed by
FuelMaker CorporatIon.
Modules must not be dlsmant1ed ID lhe field To do so will VOId
all wammbes and could result m senous mJury
2. READ INSTRUcnONS CAREFULLY
Please read this manual carefully hefore operaUng the
FueIMaker Please contact FuelMaker Corporauon If you are
e'penencmg any ddficulbes or an: nnsure about any feature
3. LOCATION OF THE FUELMAKER
The FuelMaker .s to be IDstalled outdoors m non-hazardous
locatIOns as defined by the C22 I Canadian Electncal Code
(Canada) and the NFP A 70 NaUonal Electncal Code (USA)
Do not ,nstaII the FuelMaker under or near a wmdow or
dIrectly under potent131 gas accumulatmg overhangs Leaves,
snow dnd other debns should be kept clear of the atr mlet and
outlet of the FueIMaker The FueIMaker and the vehIcle
cylInders must be located SO they are both e~sed to the same
ambIent temperature donng refueling
CAUTION
4. FOR REFUELING NATURAL GAS VEHICLES
ONLY
Attempts to use the FuelMaker for any other purpose could
result 10 senous mJury or death Velucle cyhnders must be
certIfied for Natural Gas storage at 3000 p51g (207 bar g) or
hIgher The FueIMaker can be used for resldenttal and

FlCld Wlnng
The FuelMaker has been wlred at the factory and IS ready for
connection to the e1ectncal sen.ce The Juncllon bo, can be
accessed by opemng the service cover of the FuelMaker (See
Figure 4) Three No 16 gauge wues ha,e been pro"ded, Lme
I Lme 2, and a groundmg conductor The connecllons can be
made \\lth any apprm-ed wue splICIng devtces such as wue
nuts The Juncuon box m.......v..les 7/8" knock-outs to accept
,anous wmngmethods (e g annoured lIqUId-flex, BX portable
cable WIth stram relIef etc) The cable/condUIt IS passed
through one of the two cable passthrough openmgs located on
eIther sIde of the plpmg bulkhead (the left-hand passthrough
opemng IS most comement) and then routed up to the Juncllon
box A separate 2-poIe CIrcuIt breaker, or ume-deIay fused
d.scormectS\\1tch mustbe used All \\1nngmust bem accordance
\Hth local codes and an emergenC} dIsconnect sWltch should be
located 10 close pro~m1lyto the FuelMaker where reqUIred by
code
Low-voItage\\1nng IS reqUIred whenconnectmgan mterlockmg
(remote shutdo\\n) deVIce such as a IImer or natural gas
detector The low-voltage wmng can be routed mto the
FueIMaker adjacent to eIectncal supplv cable or condUIt, and
connected to the tennmal stnp on the eIectronocs board as
sho\\ n 10 FIgure 3 ( do not run low-\ oItage wIrIng and eIectncal

de\lce should be selected to proVIde a 12 VDC NonnalI)-On
signal Once the mterlociong dC\lce has been mstalled be sure
to program the FuelMaker to acknowledge the presence of the

Field Programmmg
A programmmg l!e\"ce IsavatlabIe from Fuel Maker Corporallon
to allow the Installer or servIce personnel to change the
follOWing parameters 10 the field
. recogmtlon of remote panel connected
. ma"mumtanhoIume 1400r 280 IItres (37 or74 US gal )
. recognIUon of remote shutdown dC\.ce (eg Natural Gas
Detector) connected
. pressure nse momtonng ON/OFF
Upon receIpt of a IIC\\ FueIMaker, the parameters have been
factory-set to remote panel not connected. 280 IIlres remote
shuldown dCVIce not connected, and pressure nse monotonng
ON The programmmg devIce IS connected to the electronics
madule VI3 the pon located underneath the electroniCS module
(See FIgure 4) Follow the mstructIons mcluded WIth the
programming devIce
IMPORTANT
After the Changing of any of the settings. the
unit must he powered down at the malO dectncal
switeh (NOT the STOP button onl,) for 1
minute and turned on ag3lD. If this procedure
IS nol followed, the settlDgs "ill not change.
The FuelMaker momtors the pressure nse at the fiI I hose dunng
refuelIng 10 order to check for poSSIble leaks A leak IS
presumed .fthe pressure does not nse at a suffiCIent rate Smce
the rate of pressure nse depends 00 the volume of the ,chtcle
C}lInder(s) some adJustment must be made to accommodate
the slower pressure nse 3SSOCJated WIth the larger cylInder(s)
The programmmg devtce prOVIdes such an adjustment. For the
greatest leak detectIon sensll1V1ty, the lowest C}IInder sellmg
should be used "here poSSIble In the rare case \\herethe tank
\oIume IS 10 e,cess of 280 IItres, the pressure nse momtonng
~S1em WIll have to be programmed to be shut off completely,
thIS sellmg should not be used unless absolutely necessary
and the User must be made aware that fill hose leakage WIll not
be momtored
