allows for simultaneous deliveries on single,

dual, and triple meter systems.

The in-cab DMS module is packaged in a

rugged, metal housing and conveniently

mounts to Liquid Controls supplied in-cab

brackets. The DMS module contains an

embedded computer board and compact

flash memory card for virtually unlimited

customer data base capacity and future

upgrades. The DMS module is equipped

with a USB port for transfer of delivery

information between the delivery vehicle and

the office. There is no special computer

interface required other than a USB port.

The operator interface is a rugged Lap Pad

with a display having 8 lines by 30

characters and backlit for easy viewing.

System operating software allows for a

virtually unlimited number of customers and

products, four calibrations per meter, driver

logon and logout capability, route reports,

numerous tax categories and calculations,

numerous discount categories and

calculations, ticket storage for future

reprints, and plenty more.

The DMS Office program is used as a data

coordination point for the company’s

customer data base. In addition to being

used for managing the customer data base

and delivery records, it can also be used for

configuring delivery tickets and customizing

the operator interface.

Liquid Controls produces among the most reliable and accurate metering systems

Metering SystemThe LectroCount DMS works with LectroCount LCR and LCR-II

Electronic registers and all Liquid Controls PD Flowmeters. No

special software is required for LectroCount registers. The

LectroCount DMS system can be ordered with a new system or

retrofit to existing systems. Once installed and configured, up to

three metering systems can be controlled with the LectroCount

DMS allowing for simultaneous delivery from all three meters.

DMS in-cab componentsThe LectroCount DMS consists of three major components; the

LectroCount DMS Module, DMS Lap Pad, and DMS operating

software. As its name suggests, LectroCount DMS is a system for

recording and managing data such as customer accounts, day-to-

day delivery transactions, shift information, route information, and

more.

Housed in a rugged enclosure, LectroCount DMS offers a high-

speed embedded computer and compact flash drive. The Lap Pad

provides an eight line by thirty character, backlit display with an

easy-to-use keyboard. This means a minimum of screens to

navigate and fewer keystrokes for operators.

The software structure has been streamlined to further reduce

navigation time and keystrokes. The software consists of four

functional segments; one for setting up communications, one for

product calibration, one for making deliveries, and a system menu

used to navigate between them. Once configured, the operator

makes deliveries from a single program.

At the end of a shift, the operator can send delivery transaction

records to the home office computer using an optional RF

transmitter, or download the transactions to a USB memory device

and bring that to the office computer for upload. Software and

data base upgrades can be effected using the same methods in

reverse.LectroCount DMS Lap Pad

GPS

PrintersLectroCount DMS interfaces with industry standard printers. Tickets are generated after

each delivery and delivery information is stored in the LectroCount DMS internal drive.

Tickets may be recalled at later dates and reprinted.

GPSAn optional GPS unit may be added to the system for tracking vehicle movement and

recording mileage. The GPS unit wires to the rear panel of the LectroCount DMS and

may be mounted inside or outside the vehicle cab. GPS signal information can be

imported to standard mapping software for continuous vehicle monitoring.

RF CommunicationAn RF Transceiver may be added for wireless communication with the office computer.

This provides a means of communicating with the office computer for downloading

delivery transactions, or uploading software and revised data base files. Both close-

proximity and LAN RF systems can be supported

USB Flash MemoryThe USB Flash Memory device plugs into the DMS Module. This device can be used for

downloading completed transactions for delivery to the in-house computer system, or it

can be used for upgrading the Data Module software and database.

Mounting BracketsRugged, steel, mounting brackets are supplied with the LectroCount DMS for ease of

installation in the cab of the vehicle.

Customization

Two auxiliary ports are available for customized accessories. One port may be

configured to operate as RS232 or RS485, the other port operates as RS232. These

ports can be used for card readers, bar code scanners, RF id tag readers, and many

other devices.

Three digital inputs and three digital outputs are available for output or input control.

These are general purpose I/O connections which can be used for additive injection,

initialization of indicator lights, and many other options.
