INTRODUCTION

The Badger Meter® Fluid Management System has been designed to control and monitor the consumption and inventory balances of automotive fluid products with minimal installation and programming costs. Badger Meter has used its years of expertise in the automated meter reading market to develop a modular control system using RF communications.

The high end system hardware consists of one Master Keypad and at least one Dispense Keypad as well as at least one radio frequency (RF) electronic preset meter. The Master Keypad handles serial communication between the PC or a host server (ERP system) and RF communication to the Dispense Keypads in the system. The system verifies the operator’s pin number and validates the work order number, fluid quantities and the valid hose/meter.

The Master Keypad can communicate with up to 36 Dispense Keypads that can be positioned to support the workflow of the facility the best way. Each Dispense Keypad can control up to 24 meters, for a total of 250 meters. The system supports up to 16 tanks and 16 fluids as a part of the system configuration. The system supports 250 unique operator IDs and pin numbers.

The system uses direct sequence spread spectrum RF technology to prevent communication problems with other equipment in the facility. The RF system will look for a clear channel for transmission to insure that there is reliable communications at all times. Communication distances are typically up to 100 meters, but can go up to 300 meters with unobstructed line-of-sight. A remote antenna is available for situations where multiple buildings are involved in the installation.

The PC is used to configure the system, maintain system data and enter work orders. The service desk would use the PC to enter a work order selecting the fluid and quantity required. The PC can stack as many work orders as required, limited only by the disk storage space of the PC. There is no need to predetermine where the work is going to occur. This allows the flexibility to service a vehicle at any open bay and select a meter when the work is going to be performed. When the work order is going to be performed, the service personnel simply enters their pin number, work order and hose that is going to be used at the Dispense Keypad.

There are a number of system utilization reports by user; fluid type, tank or meters available for the system’s management.

Optionally, the system can be connected with an ERP or DMS system via its RS232 interface. The real-time communication is based on an open interface protocol (ASCII-code) and can be easily adapted to local conditions.

A unique, patented feature of the system is that the RF meter’s dispense trigger is locked until an authorization from the keypad is received. After the dispense batch is completed, the user can top off if more fluid is required, the actual dispensed amount is sent back to the keypad and the meter returns to the locked status. Additionally, the meter can be installed on portable dolly systems offering control and monitoring of high-cost lubrication products.

Certication

• Contains FCC ID: S4GEM35XB

• Contains IC: 8735A-EM35XB

• FCC CERTIFIED, PART 15, SUB-PART C

• CE0681 EC-R&TTE Certified

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

TO SATISFY FCC RF EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR MOBILE TRANSMITTING DEVICES, A SEPARATION DISTANCE OF 20 CM OR MORE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE ANTENNA OF THIS DEVICE AND PERSONS DURING OPERATION. TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE, OPERATIONS AT CLOSER DISTANCES THAN THIS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.

WALLMOUNTING THE KEYPAD

The keypad should be mounted upright with the antenna pointing upward, near a 120V AC electrical socket, to a structurally sound wall through the two holes on the top of the keypad casing. Height on the wall should be at eye level. Care should be taken to avoid mounting behind any steel objects (tool storage cabinets and metal chain linked fences) that may block the RF communication signal. Care should also be taken to avoid direct, significant heat sources.

Operation Modes

The configuration of the system is generally done by using the PC-based FMS Software. Only some special functions like the operation modes are set at the Master Keypad.

RF System with PC Operation Mode

In this mode the PC is used to configure the system entities and install the network. The PC will be used to enter work orders for processing and provide the queuing for future processing. When an operator processes a work order the PC will validate the work order number and provide the fluid and amount to be dispensed. The results of the dispense will then be stored on the PC.

RF System with Host Operation Mode

In this mode the PC is used to configure the system entities and install the network.

The host will be used to enter work orders for processing and provide the queuing for future processing. It will also store the dispense results that have been completed. Dispense results can be additionally stored on the PC. When an operator processes a work order the host will validate the work order number and provide the fluid and amount to be dispensed.

Standalone Mode

Work orders will not be validated; each entered work order will be accepted by the system. Data will be stored in the Master Keypad’s memory.

OTE:N Each meter can only be associated to one Dispense Keypad. Only dispense and keypad supervisors can access each

of the Dispense Keypads.

MASTER KEYPAD

The Master Keypad acts as the communications director for the RF communications. It handles all communications between the Dispense Keypads and the PC or Host. There are no operator menus associated with the Master Keypad—only supervisor menus for setting up the system or creating reports.

The remainder of this document shows only the actual display, not the entire keypad.

To gain access to the supervisor menus, the supervisor PIN has to be entered. The default PIN is 0001 at initial power-up.
