match, enter the Weights & Measures reading in the eld
edit window for Temperature. This value will overwrite the previous value and the Offset eld will be recalculated by the LectroCount.
Offset adjustments are limited to ±0.3°C (±0.54°F). Adjustments greater than these offset values require replacement of the RTD Probe.
Offset represents the difference between the ofcial Weights & Measures temperature reading and the LectroCount probe’s temperature reading. The offset
is automatically calculated if an entry is made in the
Temperature eld. If a temperature probe is not present, this eld will show dashes.
If a Weights & Measures temperature reading was not entered in Temperature, subtract Temperature value from Weights & Measures temperature reading. Enter this value in the eld edit window for Offset. If the difference is a negative number, enter “-” before the value.
Offset adjustments are limited to ±0.3°C (±0.54°F). Adjustments greater than these offset values require replacement of the RTD Probe.
Temperature Unit is used to dene the temperature
unit to be used for the application. The two options for Temperature Unit are Deg. C (degrees Celsius) and Deg.
F (degrees Fahrenheit). Move pointer to desired option and press ENTER to accept.
RTD Slope and RTD Offset are used for factory calibration
of the LectroCount and are not editable.
RTD Slope indicates slope used to calculate the raw temperature value from the raw ADC value.

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 specic 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 is based on existing value for Pulses/Unit.

Once Single Point Calibration is completed, Multi-point
Calibration may be performed on the system. Multi-Point
Calibration calculates percent deviation at specic points
along the calibration curve. This increases overall meter
1
accuracy across full ow range.
After determining percent deviation of the meter at a
variety of ow rates and entering the information into LectroCount’s multi-point calibration table, accuracy
corrections are continuously made by the LectroCount
based on the measured ow rate.
There are two ways to obtain multi-point information for
a ow meter:
1. Manufacturer’s data supplied with the meter can be
entered directly.
2. Meter can be eld calibrated by proving at various ow rates.
NOTE: It is not required to enter ow rates in any specic
order. The LectroCount sorts values internally when it uses the data.

Preset and Delivery
Screen 19a: Preset and Delivery (1/7)
When power is applied to the LectroCount DMS i1000, the
system runs diagnostics internally. If the system detects
the LCRConfg.slf le does not exist, Screen 1 on page 19 will be displayed. If the LCRConfg.slf le does exist, the display will advance to the rst of the Preset and Delivery
screens as shown to the right.
The rst line displays the active Product # and its unit of measure. The unit of measure was dened in System
Calibration and cannot be changed from this screen. The
Product # can be changed by positioning the pointer on Product # and pressing the ENTER key. This opens a
list box window which will contain the product numbers of 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,
use Gross for the preset delivery.

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 reect 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 reect the name associated with the product number.
Price/Unit is used to set the price per unit volume as dened 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 dened 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

4800 9600 19200 57600 115200
Select the desired baud rate and press ENTER.
Tx Enable Bit is the transfer enable bit used with the LCP
File Server is used in an RS-485 network.
The LCP File Server allows a network of computers to
be accessed by one ofce 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 ofce
computer before it decides that no response is coming. At
this time, it determines the ofce computer to be off-line. The default value for this eld is 100 ms. Press ENTER to open a eld edit window and enter a value between
100 and 9999.
NOTE: All of these elds are associated with communication
through a wireless transmitter. These elds can be ignored
when using a wired connection.
Press Exit (F5) to return to Screen 2a on page 66.
Press Srvr (F5) to advance to Screen 5 on page 69.
Press ENTER to open a list box window with the following options:
!DTR !RTS !RTS!DTR DTR None RTS RTSDTR
If using an RS-232 link to the ofce computer, this eld should be set to “None” Otherwise, set this eld to the value used by the RS-485 device that is connected to the
DMS i1000 computer. The literature that came with the
RS-485 device should provide this information.

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.
File Server Commands is accessed by pressing Cmds
(F3). This opens a list box window with all available commands.

File Server Command List
B: Copy SLF Files by Record - This command copies
all SLF format les by record. Once each record is copied, it is deleted from the source le. File format
designation appears on page 70.
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.
R: Rename Selected File - This command sets the active
directory. For example: C:\DMS i1000.
S: Show All Tagged Files - This command is used to
display all tagged les.

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, conguration les, ticket conguration les, application information, and others. These “.SLF” les are typically created by the ofce 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 congured by the ofce 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.
