A option puts pump in full serve mode.
P1 assigns account number.
This is useful if you do not have a console and your island card reader is out of order, or you want to pump fuel without using a card.
To activate a pump from the terminal for one transaction, use the command ACTIVATE PUMP or AC PU. The transaction is recorded as a cash transaction. If the pump you select is available, the terminal will print PUMP IS READY. ACTIVATE PUMP uses the fallback price or the price level selected by the pump's cash/credit buttons, if available. You may use the C option with the command ACTIVATE PUMP. | ACTIVATE PUMP (AC PU) R* ACTIVATE PUMP Pump number? 2 Pump is ready. R* |
If the P1 option is used with ACTIVATE PUMP, the P1 data will be used as the account number, and the account type will be club. No verification or checks will be performed on the account data. You may include a D as a field separator, and follow it by discretionary data, such as the expiration date.If the island card reader, FPR, and console are out of service, you can put the pumps into full-serve mode so they may still be accessed.
Transactions generated in full-serve mode have Fulsrv instead of an authorization code in the transaction printout. They use the fallback price (unless they are paid at the console) or the price selected by the cash/credit buttons on the pump, if available. (The printouts for the PRINT DIAGNOSTICS and PRINT PUMP commands show Full srv for pumps that are in full-serve mode.)
Note: For full-serve mode to work, pumps must be wired for a console installation, even if there is no console.

Note that the PCU power must be on for this to work. ACTIVATE PUMP;A may cause transactions not to be recorded if the PCU hardware is damaged.
If this manual-override procedure does not work, chances are the power supply or the relays in the PCU are bad, and your only choice at this point is to replace them.
