How AVS Displays Connect to Your Forecourt Controller
AVS Price Change Units link to your forecourt controller or POS over IFSF, so a price entered once in the shop reaches the pump and the pole at the same time.
When the pole and the pump disagree, the customer trusts neither
On a busy forecourt, fuel prices can move daily. If your monolith still shows yesterday's number while the pump charges today's, drivers feel short-changed, cashiers field complaints, and dealers risk Weights & Measures scrutiny. The usual fix — sending someone up a ladder to swap digits by hand — is slow, error-prone and unsafe.
AVS closes that gap. Our Price Change Units (PCUs) connect directly to your forecourt controller or POS, so a single price change in the shop pushes to the monolith automatically. The same number reaches the pump and the pole at the same time — no climbing, no transcription mistakes, no mismatch.
From a keypress in the shop to the price on the pole
One integrated path links your point of sale to every digit on the monolith.
1. Key prices in the shop
Staff enter the new fuel prices on the Price Sign Terminal — a 16-key LCD unit on the counter. No one leaves the building.
2. Terminal links to the controller
The terminal connects to your forecourt controller or POS, so the price entry rides on the same system that drives the pumps.
3. Serial comms, IFSF protocol
Data travels over serial RS232–RS485 using the IFSF forecourt protocol — the standard your controller already speaks.
4. Prices push to the monolith
The new prices update on the PCU — wirelessly or wired over runs of up to 100 m — so pole and pump match instantly.
Three ways to drive your AVS price displays
From a handheld remote to a fully integrated POS link — match the method to your site.
Remote control
A 5-button handheld remote on 433 MHz updates prices at the monolith from up to 100 m away — ideal for quick changes on smaller sites.
Price Sign Terminal
A counter-mounted 16-key LCD terminal lets shop staff set prices indoors and send them straight to the PCU — no ladders, no field trips.
Full POS / IFSF link
Tie the PCUs into your POS over RS232–RS485 with IFSF protocol so a price set once in the system flows automatically to pump and pole.
Accurate, automatic, audit-ready forecourt pricing
Replacing manual digit-swapping with an IFSF link keeps every price point in step and frees your team for the work that matters.
- No manual climbing — staff never go up the monolith to change a single digit.
- Instant updates — one entry in the shop reaches the pole and the pump at the same moment.
- Fewer errors — prices are typed once into the POS, removing transcription mistakes between systems.
- IFSF-compatible — AVS PCUs work with common IFSF-based forecourt controllers, so pricing data flows in the format your controller already expects. View our certifications.
- Backed for the long run — standard 3-year warranty, extendable to 5, and over 9 years of on-site experience at Petronas and BHP stations.
