GENERAL
The RF meter is designed specifically to be used with the
LFC 2000 wireless Fluid Inventory Control and Management
System. The RF Meter will dispense bulk fluids for servicing
automobiles, trucks, buses, construction equipment, and
similar applications. The meter is lightweight, rugged and
has a comfortable grip. The meter is designed specifically to
dispense motor oils (S.A.E. 5-50), gear oils (S.A.E. 80-240),
automatic transmission fluid, antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol)
solution, and hydraulic fluid.
A rugged, shock-resistant plastic cover similar to that used
for power tools protects the meter.
METER IS NOT FOR RESALE MEASUREMENT OF FLUID.
OPERATION
The meter is programmed by the user to dispense in quarts,
liters, pints, and gallons. You can program any unit of mea-
sure in a matter of seconds. A 5-digit liquid crystal display,
accurate to the second decimal point, shows the exact
amount of fluid dispensed.
The RF meter uses 4 replaceable AA batteries and is
calibrated at the factory. The meter can also be recalibrated
easily in the field.
LINCOLN’S FLUID INVENTORY CONTROL
AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Lincoln’s Fluid Inventory Control and Management System,
LFC 2000 consists of a keypad (Part Number 282900) with
an integrated ticket printer and up to 48 RF equipped meters.
The product has been designed to offer greater control over
the dispensing of fluids with significant reductions in installa-
tion costs and the associated hardware common to most
hard-wired systems today. Dispensing information and
authority is communicated from the keypad to the meter with
actual dispensing information being communicated back to
the keypad utilizing 902-928 Mhz frequency hopping spread
spectrum radio communications.
Tracking of all dispenses, by PIN number, Work Order
number, fluid type, Meter/Hose number allows the software
to compute the remaining balances of up to 8 different tanks/
fluids.
