National Day travel "refueling" does not add congestion, VIA helps new fuel dispensers to go on the market

**National Day Travel "Refueling" Without the Hassle, VIA Helps Launch New Fuel Dispensers** Throughout history, humans have dreamed of traveling far and wide. From Columbus's long voyage to discover the New World to modern-day journeys, people have always been driven by a desire for exploration and innovation. The invention of the car made travel more accessible; the creation of ships brought the idea of adventure to life; and the development of aircraft took humanity to new heights, driving global economic growth and connecting cities around the world. Before the rise of disruptive technologies, vehicles relied on fuel. In China, nearly 100,000 gas stations support the growing number of vehicles, with this number increasing every year. Traditional gas stations often require drivers to wait in long lines for manual refueling, which depends heavily on the operator’s skill and efficiency. With the upcoming eight-day National Day holiday, driving out can bring many challenges: long queues even when there's no 92-octane gasoline, poorly designed gas station layouts, and one staff member serving multiple vehicles at once. These issues create frustration for drivers and slow down traffic flow. However, with the rapid development of the Internet of Vehicles and the increasing number of cars on the road, car owners are now seeking a better "refueling" experience. This has led to the emergence of the next generation of domestic fuel dispensers, designed to meet the needs of modern travelers. Unlike traditional refueling equipment, the new fuel dispensers offer three key improvements: **1. Fully Automated Refueling Process** The entire refueling process—from selecting the type of fuel, determining the amount, to making the payment—is now handled directly by the driver. This self-service model is expected to reduce traffic congestion at gas stations. With the popularity of mobile payments like WeChat and Alipay, drivers can simply use their phones to complete the transaction and drive away without waiting. **2. Enhanced Safety Measures** Fuel dispensers operate in environments with explosion risks, so safety is critical. With fewer operators involved in self-service models, the new dispensers feature advanced safety measures, including explosion-proof electrical systems, lightning protection, anti-theft mechanisms, and anti-poisoning features. However, drivers must still follow safety rules—such as not smoking or using open flames while refueling. **3. Integration of Multimedia Technology** Modern fuel dispensers are no longer just simple digital screens displaying fuel amounts. They now come with large interactive displays that provide additional services such as information queries, advertisements, and voice prompts. This upgrade enhances the user experience and offers more convenience during the refueling process. Imagine being able to check the number of available refueling stations, receive promotional offers, or even play a quick game while you wait. These features make the refueling process more engaging and efficient. Today, the integration of new technologies at gas stations is transforming how the oil retail industry operates. It has become a key factor in improving the competitiveness of gas stations. As a leader in the IoT industry, VIA brings its expertise in embedded platforms and system solutions to the automotive networking, intelligent transportation, and logistics sectors. Whether you're looking for a self-service fuel dispenser to serve as an advertising screen, an information kiosk, or an interactive display, VIA can help tailor a solution that meets your needs. With the introduction of these new fuel dispensers, the future of refueling is smarter, safer, and more convenient. So, as you hit the road this National Day, say goodbye to long queues and hello to a smoother, more enjoyable driving experience.

Photocell Timer Switch Socket

24HR Electronic timer socket with photocell.

â‘  Light intensity setting

â‘¡ Light intensity detection

â‘¢ Countdown Timer ON & OFF

â‘£ 4 MODES:

Set > Detected: When the light intensity detection value is less than the set value, switch ON or OFF.

Detected > Set: When the light intensity detection value is greater than the set value, switch ON or OFF

ON : Always ON

OFF : Always OFF

NOTED:

1. The light intensity displayed by this machine is not the standard light intensity value (Lux), only the relative light intensity value.

2. The light intensity value is affected by the placement position and direction. Please determine the position first and then set it according to the actual light intensity detected. If you change the position or change the orientation, you need to reset the light intensity setting value suitable for the new position.

3. This product has built-in rechargeable battery. If it is not connected to AC for a long time, you need to connect the power supply to charge until the LCD can display normally.

MANUAL OPERATION

1. Press [UP" or [DOWN" to set the LUX value.

2. Press the [SET" key to start setting, and the P1 settable items will be flashed.

3. Press [UP" or [DOWN" to adjust the value.

4. Press [SET" key again to exit setting or enter next setting for countdown timer.

5. Repeat the [SET" key to start setting, and the P2 & P3 settable items will be flashed.

6. Press the [FUN" key to switch the working state in the following:

Set > Detected -> Detected > Set -> ON -> OFF

Set > Detected: Automatically switches when the detected ambient light intensity is darker than the set value

Detected >Set: Automatically switch when the detected ambient light intensity is brighter than the set value

When the brightness meets the setting conditions, the countdown starts as below:

Note:when the countdown is ON, the detected value is not displayed.

When the brightness does not meet the setting conditions, the countdown stops and waits:

After the countdown ON is reduced to 0, the countdown OFF starts immediately and the power is OFF.

After the countdown OFF is reduced to 0:

A. If the light intensity meets the set conditions, a new round of countdown will be started;

B. If the light intensity does not meet the set conditions, keep the power off and wait for the light to meet the conditions before turning on automatically.

NOTE:

1. If the power is cut off while the countdown is running, the countdown will be terminated immediately and the relay output will be off. After the power is turned on again, a new round of brightness detection will start.

2. Modifying the brightness value in the countdown operation will not affect the current countdown operation. After the off time of the current countdown, the new brightness setting value will take effect.

3. In the countdown on operation, change the setting value of the countdown on, this countdown will still be timed according to the original setting value; the new setting value will take effect when the next countdown on starts.

4. In the countdown off operation, change the setting value of countdown off, this countdown will still be timed according to the original setting value; the new setting value will take effect when the next countdown off is started.

NOTE: the brightness setting value, countdown ON or countdown OFF, any one of which is equal to 0, cannot be switched ON or OFF automatically.

Manual Control

When ON or OFF is displayed, it means that the power supply remains ON or OFF, as shown in the figure below:

Power Detection and Standby Mode

With AC power supply, the icon lights up and works normally.

When there is no AC power supply, the icon goes out, the brightness is not detected at this time, and the system enters the standby mode.
