Chapter 4 – General Configuration
Firmware Version 3/4.31.37
Min Time Change Secs: Before the beginning of each transaction, TMS will attempt to
synchronize the date and time of the MultiLoad II with the date and time of the TMS computer.
TMS will update the date and time of the MultiLoad II if the difference between the TMS
system time and MultiLoad II time is greater than the value of this parameter. Enter a value in
seconds. The date and time of MultiLoad II will not be updated unless the Weights and
Measures switch is activated.
When this parameter is enabled, the sum of all volumes delivered in a transaction will appear
at the bottom of the Load Screen. The text “Total Delivered” will be displayed immediately
below the last load arm listed on the load screen. This total will be reset to zero when the
transaction has been ended by pulling the card or pressing Exit at the Load Screen twice.
When this flag is enabled each configuration parameter will open a new screen which gives:
minimum, default, maximum and used value. Also a help description is available in the
language the unit is put. If the description is longer than the screen you can scroll over the text.
Enable this parameter to display a unit designation that will be visible on the Load Screen,
adjacent to each load arm. Unit designations are as follows: Gallons = g, Liters = L, Cubic
Meters = c, Tons = t, Kilograms = k, Grams = G, Pounds = p, Barrels = B.
Enable this parameter if it is desired to prevent the driver or operator from viewing the Status
screens. When this parameter is enabled, the driver will be able to view only two screens.
One is the Load Screen, which lists all of the load arms or presets. The other screen that will
be available is the Control Screen, which displays the preset quantity and the remaining
quantity of the selected load arm.
To aid troubleshooting, terminal personnel can temporarily deactivate this feature by enabling
the Program Key switch. This will allow technicians to view the status screens during loading,
without changing the parameter.
This parameter will return the user to the Load Screen after a period specified by this
parameter. Specify the time in seconds. The Load Screen is the primary screen that displays
all load arms or presets. To assist troubleshooting efforts, this feature is automatically disabled
while the Program Key is activated.
Preset Select Timeout. This parameter determines how long the highlight bar on the Group
screen will stay active. The black highlight bar indicates which load arm or preset on the
Group screen is selected. If this parameter is set to zero, the highlight bar will always be
present over one of the load arm selections. If it is set to some time period, specified in
seconds, the bar will disappear after the time has expired.
Enable this parameter if it is mandatory to perform a display test before each transaction.
When the test begins, each pixel is turned black for 0.75 seconds. Then, each pixel is blanked
for 0.75 seconds. Inoperable pixels will appear as tiny, contrasting dots. When the test ends,
the Load Screen is displayed.
When enabled, Meter Proving mode will be entered if in standalone mode delivering a single
product. Changes to W&M parameters will not be allowed unless the W&M switch is active.
This parameter will determine when we use Decimal (.) or Comma (,). It will affect all Screens
on the MultiLoad and also printing of documents.
If this parameter is enabled all preset totalizers will be displayed on the Preset Status Screen.
This value will be always used when on Bay Level the Start Transaction Input is used. If in
remote processing mode and card reader is disabled, auto authorize input only simulates
pressing of the next key.
