If Comp Type selection is either Linear C, or Linear F,
then Base Temp is used to set the base temperature for
temperature compensated deliveries.
If Linear C is selected for Comp Type, the Base Temp
value will default to 15.0 (for 15 °C). If Comp Type is
set to Linear F, the Base Temp default value is 60.0 (for
60°F).
When the S1 Close value is reached, Solenoid 1 is
deactivated and Solenoid 2 is activated.
For example: If value entered is 10 and the preset delivery
is set to 100, then S1 will close and S2 will open when the
register reaches 90. This reduces the delivery ow rate,
slowing down the ow of product through the meter.

Single-Point Calibration
Single-Point Calibration (Initial Calibration) must be
performed before Multi-Point Calibration. Single-Point
Calibration sets the calibration curve for the meter. MultiPoint Calibration sets the percentage deviation from the
curve at specic points along the curve.
Performing Single-Point Calibration requires use of a
volumetric prover or other calibrated device to compare
the meter delivery quantity against a standard.
As describe on page 40, Pulses/Unit represents the
number of pulse edges counted by the LectroCount
per unit of measure. Since the unit may not have been
previously calibrated, leave the value set to the default
value of 0.00000000, or enter the nominal value of pulses/
unit for that meter size. For example, a Liquid Controls M7
owmeter with a 1:1 packing gland will produce a nominal
2,200 pulses per unit.
1. Ensure the LectroCount is in Calibration mode. This
is accomplished by removing the switch plate and
rotating the red selector switch counterclockwise to
6 o’clock position.
2. Press START Key on keypad.
3. Fill a reliable Volumetric Prover at a typical ow rate
for the system. Prover Quantity will increment as
the product is dispensed into the prover. This reading

all calibrated products. Select desired product number to
be delivered and press ENTER.
The next three items are preset values. A preset
delivery can be made based on Price, Net volume, or
Gross volume. The column under Delivery displays last
delivered values for each.
Price is used to set a preset delivery based on total
price. Move pointer to Price and press ENTER to open
a eld edit window. Enter a value representing the total
price for the delivery, for example, 200.00 dollars. The
delivery will automatically end when this value, or a value
near this (without exceeding it), is reached. The value
may not be exactly 200.00 as the volume delivered may
not translate exactly to 200.00. For instance, a preset of
200.00 is entered and the price per unit volume is 1.27.
This would result in a Gross volume delivery of $200.00
÷ $1.27 = 157.48031. If the decimal setting is whole, this
will show up as 157. This then results in a delivery of 157
x $1.27 = $199.39.
Net and Gross are both preset deliveries based on
volume (as apposed to price). If the preset delivery is a
temperature compensated delivery, use Net for the preset
delivery. If the delivery is not temperature compensated,
Clear: This option clears the preset value after a delivery.
This requires the operator to enter a preset amount
prior to each delivery where a preset delivery is
desired.
Multiple: This option pauses the delivery when the preset
value is reached. The delivery can then be continued
by the same preset amount when it will pause again.
When the delivery is completed, the preset amount will
clear. If the No-Flow Timer times out during a pause,
the delivery will end and a ticket will print out.
Inventory: This option is similar to the Multiple option with
the exception that the preset value is not reset to the
original value when the pause occurs. This option is
typically used to monitor the inventory on the delivery
vehicle. The delivery can then be ended by pushing
the PRINT/END key on the DMS i1000 Lap Pad.
Retain: This option is similar to Clear. The delivery
ends when the preset value is reached, however,
the preset value is not cleared. For instance, if a
Gross preset is set to 100 gallons, it will reset to 100
gallons at the end of each delivery, until it is changed
by the operator. The retain value will reect the last
programmed preset value.
Press Next (F1) to advance to Screen 19b on page 55.
Move pointer to either Net or Gross and press ENTER to

changed again in this screen.
Product Code will display the current product code
associated with the product number as set up in the
calibration screens. Name will also reect the name
associated with the product number.
Price/Unit is used to set the price per unit volume as
dened by Units. For instance, if Units is Gallons then
this represents price per gallon. If Units is changed to
Litres then the price represents price per litre. Move the
pointer to Price/Unit and press ENTER to open a eld
edit window. Enter a value in the range -9999.9999 to
9999.9999.
Tax/Unit is used to set the tax per unit volume as dened by Units. Move the pointer to Tax/Unit and press ENTER
to open a eld edit window. Enter a value in the range
-9999.9999 to 9999.9999. For instance, if the Tax/Unit
is .034 and the total delivery volume is 300 units, then
the total Tax/Unit is $.034 x 300 = $10.20. This is added
to the sale.
Percent Tax is used to set the percent tax rate. Move
the pointer to Percent Tax and press ENTER to open a
eld edit window. Enter a value in the range -1000.0000
to 1000.000. This value is determined by the sale price
multiplied by a percentage. For instance, if the delivery
results in a charge of $200.00, and the Percent Tax
entered is 6.5, then percent tax charged is 200.00 x .065 =
13.00. This value will be added to $200.00 to get $213.00.
The total sale for the delivery is then calculated as:
Price/Unit total
+ Tax/Unit total
+ Percent Tax X Price/Unit total
$Total Sale
So, if Price/Unit = 1.10, Tax/Unit = 0.25, and Percent
Tax = 6.5 and 100 units was delivered, the total charge
for the delivery would be:
$1.10 x 100 = $110.00
$0.25 x 100 = $ 25.00
0.065 x $110 = $ 7.15
Total $142.15

File Server is used in an RS-485 network.
The LCP File Server allows a network of computers to
be accessed by one ofce computer. To do this requires
the use of an RS-485 communications device. Because
an RS-485 device cannot transmit and receive data
simultaneously, there is a mechanism used by the device
that indicates whether it should be prepared to receive
data, or to transmit data. This mechanism is called the
Transmit Enable Bit.
Maximum Retries is the number of retries that will
automatically occur in the event that the host computer
does not respond to a request message. The default value
for this eld is 1, but it can increased if it is determined
that the communications cable is in an electrically noisy
environment. Press ENTER to open a eld edit window
and enter a value between 0 and 255.
Timeout is the amount of time, in milliseconds, that the
LCP File Server will wait for a response from the ofce
computer before it decides that no response is coming. At
this time, it determines the ofce computer to be off-line.
The default value for this eld is 100 ms. Press ENTER

Screen 4: File Management
This screen is used to manage the les located on the
DMS i1000 Module internal ash memory or the USB ash
memory. The quantity of les displayed depends on the
number of les actually on the DMS i1000 Module internal
ash memory or USB ash memory and the ltering set
up under the command menu.
The rst line displays the driver letter and node address,
the total disk space, and the amount of free or unused
memory on the drive. The second line displays the
active directory on the left and the current le mask on
the right.
Files with a diamond are “tagged” les. Files are tagged by
moving the pointer to the le and pressing the ENTER key.
If the le isn’t tagged, the diamond appears designating
that the le is tagged. Pressing ENTER a second time
toggles the diamond off and untags the le.

C: Copy Tagged Files - This command copies all tagged
les, but leaves the source les intact.
D: Delete Tagged Files - This command deletes all the
tagged les form the DMS i1000 Module internal
ash memory.
E: Set the Directory - This command is used to set the
directory.
I: Initialize LCPFS - This command is used to exit this
File Management screen and open Screen 2a on
page 66.
K: Set the Drive - This command is used to designate
the active disk drive. For example: C:\, D:\.
L: List All Files by Mask - This command lists all les
based on the current le mask.
M: Set the File Mask - This command sets the le mask.
The masks is a le lter. For example: if the le mask
is “*.trn”, then “L: List All Files by Mask” will show all
les (and only those les) with the extension “.trn”.
T: Tag All Files by Mask - This command tags all les
that match the current le mask set by “M: Set the
File Mask”.
U: Untag All Files - Untags all les.
ENTER: Tag/Untag File - The ENTER key is used to
toggle a le between tagged and untagged.
Each one of these commands can be accessed without
entering the Cmds (F3) list box. The DMS i1000 Lap Pad
has short cuts for each command. These short cuts are
accessed by holding the SHIFT key and then pressing
the letter associated with a command. For example,
pressing SHIFT and “T” will tag all les that match the
current mask. The only command that does not require
the SHIFT key is the ENTER: Tag/Untag File command.
When the pointer is next to a le, pressing ENTER will
toggle between tagging and untagging that le.
As there are more commands than lines available on the
display, use the function keys or arrow keys to access
commands lower in the list, or use the short cuts.

File Extension Designation
File extensions are used to indicate the type of le. The list
below provides a description of all types of le extensions
used by LectroCount DMS i1000. Care should be taken
not to delete any les that are critical to the LectroCount
DMS i1000 operation or for making deliveries.
For example, the “.SLF” les contain information such
as the customer data base, the logon data base,
conguration les, ticket conguration les, application
information, and others. These “.SLF” les are typically
created by the ofce software and can be reinstalled on
the DMS i1000 Module internal ash memory using the
USB ash memory device.
NOTE: Files with extensions “.BAT”, “.COM”, “.EXE”,
“.LNG”, and “.SYS” are critical to LectroCount DMS i1000
operation. Deletion of any les with these extensions
could lead to complete system failure. These les are
not created or congured by the ofce program, they are
resident on the DMS i1000 Module internal ash memory.
To create a backup of the LectroCount DMS i1000 Module
internal ash memory, follow the instructions for “Create
DMS i1000 Image” on page 15.
