INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to explain the setup and operation of DMS i1000 FleetConnect.
DMS i1000 Overview
The DMS i1000 is an in-cab computer with a heavy-duty lap pad interface. The DMS i1000 connects directly
to a LectroCount electronic register that is connected to a ow meter. The DMS i1000 runs application specic
software programs, such as FleetConnent, designed for specic types of fuel delivery companies. These programs
combine metrological data—received from a LectroCount register during fuel deliveries—with pricing, customer, and
operational data to provide detailed accounts of all fueling and shift activity. The collected data can be transferred
from the DMS i1000 to an ofce PC via a USB device, RF communication, or cellular transmission. Every DMS
i1000 comes equipped with two support software programs, LCP File Server and LCR Host. LCP File Server is a le
manager program used to maintain and manage les. LCR Host is used to set up LectroCount register networks and
calibrate the metering system.
DMS i1000 and Lap Pad
DMS i1000 FleetConnect Overview
DMS i1000 FleetConnect is a software application program for the DMS i1000. It is designed for companies that
fuel customers with large eets of vehicles and equipment or for companies that own a large eet of vehicles and
equipment. FleetConnect automatically captures fueling data and records all aspects of each fuel delivery. The
delivery records are organized and saved into a database from where the data can be easily transferred into the
accounting software in your ofces. DMS i1000 FleetConnect has a number of capabilities and features including:
fueler security settings, vehicle identication, delivery start and stop, recording and tracking deliveries, shift reports,
and data transmission to FleetConnect Ofce via USB memory device, RF transmission, or cellular modem.

FleetConnect System Components
METERING SYSTEM
Typically mounted to the back or side of a delivery
vehicle, the metering system accurately measures,
controls the ow, and preserves the purity of the product.
A Liquid Controls metering system can include the meter,
LectroCount electronic register, strainer, ETVC probe
(temperature compensation), air eliminator, and control
valve. In FleetConnect systems, in order to safeguard
against misfuelings, the control valve is opened only
when vehicles are identied by the EZConnect button
reader.
LECTROCOUNT REGISTER
LectroCount registers can be Weights & Measures
approved and mounted onto the meter. LectroCount
registers provide metrological data during custody
transfers for the DMS i1000 FleetConnect.
LectroCount Registers
Epson Roll Printer
EZConnect Button Reader
with Button and FleetConnect
Antenna
PRINTER
The printer prints out a record (ticket) of the delivery.
The Epson Roll Printer is ideal for the long tickets
FleetConnect prints at the end of fueler shifts.
EZCONNECT BUTTON READER AND RFID BUTTONS
The EZConnect button reader is a handheld device that
reads the ID number of uniquely-numbered stainless
steel buttons called RFID buttons. During setup, a
vehicle record is created for every fuelable vehicle or
piece of equipment that you fuel. Then, each vehicle
record is then programmed with a RFID button number.
Finally, the RFID buttons are physically attached to the
vehicle they represent in the FleetConnect database.
Before fuel deliveries, fuelers attach the EZConnect
to a vehicle’s RFID button. A RF transceiver inside the
EZConnect transmits the ID number to the DMS i1000.
DMS i1000 FleetConnect pulls the vehicle le with the
RFID button number and records the delivery information
together according to vehicle data.

INTRODUCTION
FleetConnect System Components
FLEETCONNECT OFFICE
The FleetConnect Ofce contains four executable
programs FCRead.exe, FCEdit.exe, FCLoad.exe and an
installation program for the USB button reader.
FCEdit is a graphical user interface for ofce computers
where users can manage operational data, validate any
changes made in the eld (for example adding a new
customer), congure print tickets, and change system
settings. FCEdit also plays a large role in the setup of a
FleetConnect System by helping map RFID buttons and
populating the FleetConnect database. The USB button
reader plugs into any ofce computer USB port and
reads the ID number of the RFID buttons for FCEdit to
map the RFID buttons.
FleetConnect Ofce
FCRead converts transaction les, created by DMS
i1000s in the eld, into ASCII text les for use in FCEdit
and third party software.
DB MANAGER
DB Manager is used to setup and manage wireless
communication between DMS i1000s in the trucks and
personal computers in your ofce. DB Manager contains
two programs LCPSetup.exe and DBManager.exe. The
rst program, LCPSetup.exe, aligns communication
parameters and conducts testing to conrm wireless
communication between the ofce PC and the DMS
i1000. The second, DBManager.exe, species the DMS
i1000s in the eld, sets the le paths to the ofce PC,
sets a schedule to check for modied FleetConnect
database les and sends those les to the DMS i1000s
in the eld.
CELL MODEM
Cell modems enable long distance wireless data
transmissions between DMS i1000s in the eld and
ofce PCs. Cell modems and service contracts are
purchased separately from a cellular service provider.

INTRODUCTION
FleetConnect Fueling System Overview
FleetConnect is an in-cab fuel delivery and data collection application for the DMS i1000 that spans from the point of
delivery to the ofce PC. FleetConnect is specially designed for businesses who have or fuel customers with large
eets of vehicles and equipment or fuel their own eet. Like other Liquid Control’s data management applications,
FleetConnect runs in conjunction with owmeters equipped with the LectroCount electronic registers.
The main functions of a FleetConnect System include:
• Account management
• Operational data management
• Delivery data tracking
• Data entry interface
• File conversions
• Security settings for fueling access and system conguration
• Print ticket conguration
• Customer equipment identication
• Delivery start and stop
COMPONENTS
There are ve main components unique to a FleetConnect System: DMS i1000 FleetConnect (DMS i1000 software),
FleetConnect Ofce (ofce PC software), the EZConnect button reader, the USB RFID button reader and the RFID
buttons (stainless steel buttons with a unique identication number that can be read by a button reader).
SETUP
During setup, each vehicle (or piece of equipment) to be fueled is assigned a RFID button number. The vehicle
information (name, fuel type, etc.) and the RFID button number are saved together in the FleetConnect database
(in this manual this is referred to as mapping). The RFID buttons are then taken into the eld and fastened to their
respective vehicles. DMS i1000 FleetConnect uses the RFID button numbers to identify vehicles before making a
delivery.
DELIVERIES
To make deliveries, fuelers simply push the EZConnect button reader over the RFID button of the vehicle. The
EZConnect button reader transmits the RFID button number to the DMS i1000. DMS i1000 FleetConnect receives the
transmission from the EZConnect button reader and pulls the vehicle data programmed to the RFID button number.
After FleetConnect conrms the identity of the vehicle, it opens the control valve on the appropriate meter system
allowing the fueler to make the delivery. FleetConnect records the metrological data of the delivery and saves it in a
record with the vehicle data. DMS i1000 FleetConnect transmits all of the transaction data compiled throughout the
shift to the ofce PC via cell modem, RF transmission, or USB memory device.
OFFICE
In the ofce, FleetConnect Ofce converts the data received from each DMS i1000 into ASCII text les. ASCII text
les can be easily transferred to third-party software. The FleetConnect database consists of operational data, like
vehicle, customer, product and fueler data. FleetConnect ofce has a graphical user interface, FCEdit, for ofce
computers where users can manage operational data, congure print tickets, and change system settings. FCEdit
also allows users to verify or reject any changes made to the database by DMS i1000s in the eld—such as new
customers or vehicles—and send the changes, if veried, out to all other DMS i1000 units.

FleetConnect Data Flow
INTRODUCTION
DMS i1000 APPLICATIONS TO FLEETCONNECT OFFICE
(Begins at the bottom of the chart on page 10—DMS
i1000 FleetConnect—and ends at the middle top of the
diagram—FleetConnect Ofce.)
DMS i1000
After each delivery, the DMS i1000 compiles the
metrological, transaction, customer, driver, and product
data into transaction les (.trn). The transaction les
are then sent to the ofce PC either wirelessly (RF or
cellular), or they are downloaded to a USB memory
device.
DATA TRANSMISSION (WIRELESS)
If the transaction les are sent wirelessly (RF or cellular)
using the Send Transactions to Ofce
command, DB Manager receives the transaction les
(.trn) and noties FleetConnect Ofce that the les have
been received. Transmissions can be setup to be sent
automatically to the ofce
DATA TRANSMISSION (USB MEMORY DEVICE)
If the transaction les are sent via USB memory
device, when a shift is nished, the fuelers download
the transaction les created during their shift using the
Send Transactions to Ofce command and
return the USB device to the ofce after their shift.
FLEETCONNECT OFFICE SOFTWARE
FCRead converts the transaction les (.trn) into ASCII
text or XML les. The les can then be absorbed into
third party software.
If the les are transferred via a USB memory device,
they must be copied from the USB device and pasted
into the C:/DMS folder. From there, FCRead can convert
them into text or XML les.
THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
Third-party software imports the ASCII text les
from FleetConnect Ofce for processing and report
generation. If any dispatch data is generated by the
third-party software, it can be converted into ASCII text
les and imported into the FleetConnect database.
FLEETCONNECT OFFICE TO DMS i1000 APPLICATIONS
(Begins at the middle top of the chart on page 10—
FleetConnect Ofce—and ends at the bottom of the
diagram—DMS i1000 FleetConnect.)
FLEETCONNECT OFFICE
FCEdit converts the text les (and any conguration
changes made in third-party software) into .502 and .slf
database les.
DATA TRANSMISSION (WIRELESS)
DB Manager sends modied transaction les to the
DMS i1000s wirelessly. By sending only modied “live”
les, cellular service costs and transmission times are
reduced. DBManager checks newly converted .502 and
.slf database les against a set of “live” les. “Live” les
are the most recent set of database les created by
FleetConnect Ofce. If a new database le is created
that differs from the “live” le, it means the le has been
modied since the last data transmission from the DMS
i1000s.
DATA TRANSMISSION (USB MEMORY DEVICE)
Transferring data via USB memory devices requires the
fuelers to bring the USB devices to the delivery truck
at the beginning of their shift, plug the USB device into
the DMS i1000, and load any new les onto the DMS
i1000 by using the Retrieve Database Updates
command. If the new .502 les have been copied to
the USB memory devices in the ofce, they will simply
rewrite the .502 les on the DMS i1000s when your
fuelers upload them.
DMS i1000
Modied .502 and .slf database les are loaded into
the LCP File Server of a DMS i1000. If a USB memory
device is being used, the Retrieve Database
Updates
les. RF and cellular transmissions can be setup to
automatically load database les every time the DMS
i1000 sends data (this applies to logging on, logging off,
completing a delivery, and editing the database). Any
changes made on the ofce PC and received by the
DMS i1000 are applied to all subsequent deliveries.
command must be used to load the database
11
INTRODUCTION
EZConnect Button Reader
The EZConnect button reader is a handheld device that
reads the ID number of uniquely-numbered stainless
steel buttons, called RFID buttons, and radios the
number of the button back to the DMS i1000. Before
delivery, the EZConnect button reader reads the button’s
ID number, and a RF transceiver in the button reader
radios the ID number to an antenna connected to the
DMS i1000. DMS i1000 FleetConnect pulls up the
vehicle data mapped to the RFID button number, records
the metrological data from the delivery, and saves
the vehicle data and delivery data together into the
FleetConnect database.
Time Between Deliveries
If the button reader is pulled from the button, a ten second
window exists in which the button reader must be reattached
to continue the delivery on the same transaction record. This
feature is active only in the By Vehicle setting of the New
LCR Delivery: eld. See FleetConnect Ofce EM200-15.

SETUP
FleetConnect DMS i1000 Setup Overview
There are four steps that must be completed before fuelers can begin fuel delivery with FleetConnect. The rst
step, Load FleetConnect Database onto the DMS i1000, entails moving data from the ofce PC to the DMS i1000.
The second step, Launch DMS i1000 FleetConnect, includes starting up the DMS i1000 FleetConnect application
software. The third step, Install the FleetConnect Antenna for the EZConnect Button Reader, comprises of installing
an antenna onto the roof of the truck cab and plugging it into the DMS i1000 antenna port. The fourth and nal step,
Set EZConnect Radio Address, requires setting the EZConnects to a unique address so they can transmit without
interference.
DMS I1000 FLEETCONNECT SETUP PREREQUISITES
This manual assumes that FleetConnect Ofce has been setup, the FleetConnect database is loaded onto the ofce
PC, the RFID buttons have been mapped into the database and attached to the vehicles near the fueling point, and
the DB Manager software is installed (if using cellular or RF data transmissions).
The following installation and setup must be completed prior to setup of the DMS i1000 FleetConnect:
1. Meter system installed
2. LectroCount Register(s) Installation (EM100-10 or EM150-10)
3. LectroCount Register(s) Setup (EM100-10 or EM150-11)
4. DMS i1000 Installation (EM200-10)
5. DMS i1000 Setup (EM200-11)
6. DB Manager (EM200-21) optional
7. FleetConnect Ofce Setup (EM200-14)
DMS I1000 FLEETCONNECT SETUP
After all of the setup prerequisites are fullled, only four steps are required before FleetConnect DMS i1000 is ready
for daily use.
STEP 1 Load the FleetConnect database onto the DMS i1000 (Retrieve Database from Ofce).
This step is also documented in the FleetConnect Ofce Setup (EM200-14)
STEP 2 Launch DMS i1000 FleetConnect.
STEP 3 Install the FleetConnect Antenna for the EZConnect Button Reader.
STEP 4 Set the EZConnect button readers radio addresses so that they are all unique.
This step is only required if more than one EZConnect button reader is operating in close proximity to another.
DMS i1000 FleetConnect Security
FleetConnect provides three sets of security checks: the fueler logon password, the database management password,
and the LCRHost and LCP File Server password. The fueler logon password protects access to FleetConnect’s
fuel delivery functions (see FleetConnect Ofce manual EM200-15). The database management password protects
access to the FleetConnect database. The LCRHost and LCP File Server password protects access to network setup,
calibration, and le management functions (see DMS Setup and Operation Manual EM200-12).
13
SETUP
#1 -Load FleetConnect Database
onto the DMS i1000
Liquid Controls recommends using a USB memory
device for the initial loading of the FleetConnect
database because of the large amount of data to be
uploaded. Transmitting a large amount of data wirelessly
can be time consuming and, for cellular transmissions,
costly.
To transfer the latest FleetConnect Ofce
database to the DMS i1000s via USB device:
1. Using the ofce PC, name a USB memory device DMS_
USB and create a folder named DMS in it. (USB memory
devices from Liquid Controls are precongured with
these settings.)
2. Copy the .502 and .slf les from the C:\DMS folder into
the D:\DMS_USB\DMS folder on the USB memory
device.
.502 and .slf les are created during FleetConnect
Ofce setup.
3. Remove the USB memory device from the ofce
computer and plug it into a DMS i1000.
4. On the DMS i1000 lap pad, push ALT and ESC
simultaneously to open the DMS Application
List.
5. Press F5 (Data) to open Database Management.
6. Press F3 (USB) to boot the USB Drive.
7. Move the pointer to Retrieve Entire Database
and push Enter.
8. Move the pointer to USB Memory Device as
the Receive Mechanism and press Enter. The
Retrieving Database screen will appear while the
database loads onto the DMS i1000.
Util (F1) opens System Utilities (1/3) See page 12 EM200-11

While the DMS i1000 displays the DMS Application List
screen, it is disabled from the LectroCount register(s).
When the DMS i1000 is disabled, deliveries can be made
with the register’s RUN and PRINT settings.
USB (F3) activates the USB memory device
Done (F5) opens Fueler Logon or Fill Vehicles screen, or DMS
Application List screen
9. Press Enter upon successful retrieval of the database
les.
10. Repeat steps 3-9 until all trucks equipped with DMS
i1000s are loaded with the FleetConnect database.
These instructions are also included in the
FleetConnect Ofce Setup (EM200-14) manual.
Every DMS i1000 is supplied with a USB Flash
Memory Device congured for immediate use.
14
Transfer Database Wirelessly
After initial setup, choose Retrieve Database Updates to
update only those les that have changed. Follow the same
procedure as above, but for step 8, select the Radio option,
instead of USB Memory Device, then press Enter.
The Retrieve Database Updates command inside
the DMS i1000 FleetConnect program will not
upload the whole database, only .502 and .slf les.

#2 -Launch DMS i1000
FleetConnect
The DMS Application List is the launch point for DMS
i1000 FleetConnect software.
To open FleetConnect:
1. Press ALT+ESC.
2. Move the pointer to select FleetConnect and press
Enter.
#3 -Install the FleetConnect
Antenna for the EZConnect Button
Reader
When the EZConnect button reader is attached to a
RFID button, a RF transceiver inside the EZConnect
transmits the RFID button number to the DMS i1000.
In order to receive the RF signal, the DMS i1000 must
be equipped with the FleetConnect antenna. The
FleetConnect antenna plugs into the back of the DMS
i1000 and is easily afxed to the roof of the truck cab.
FleetConnect Antenna
DMS i1000 Antenna Port
To install the FleetConnect antenna:
1. There is a heavy magnet in the bottom of the
FleetConnect antenna. Find a high spot on the delivery
truck, preferably the top of the truck cab, and set the
antenna down so the magnet sticks securely to the
surface.
2. Find a pathway for the antenna cable into the inside
of the cab and the DMS i1000 antenna port. If a more
convenient option isn’t apparent, use the same hole as
the LCR-II cables.
3. Run the antenna cord tight to the truck. Secure it so there
is no slack along the pathway. Tie off any excess cord in
the cab next to the DMS i1000.
4. Screw the antenna cable into the DMS i1000 antenna
port.
Liquid Controls recommends using split loom for
the antenna wire. It protects the wire and is easier
to ziptie to the truck.
15
SETUP
#4 -Set EZConnect Radio Address
If you are running more than one DMS i1000
FleetConnect in close proximity to another, the
EZConnect button readers will not be able to transmit
data on the same radio address without interference.
The Set EZConnect Radio Address function
can set a unique address where the DMS i1000 unit and
the EZConnect can communicate without interference.
To change the radio address of an EZConnect
device:
1. Turn off all of the EZConnect devices except the one you
want to congure.

OPERATION
Data Transfer
FleetConnect systems transfer data between the
DMS i1000 and your ofce PC via a USB memory
device or wirelessly using a cell modem. FleetConnect
systems transferring data via USB devices require no
additional setup outside of DMS i1000 FleetConnect
and FleetConnect Ofce. Systems using cell modems
require additional conguration and Liquid Controls’ DB
Manager software. See DB Manager Installation and
Setup Manual EM200-21.
CELL MODEM
FleetConnect systems setup for cell modem
transmissions send and retrieve data each time a record
is created. Every time a fueler logs on, logs off, delivers
fuel, edits the database, or enters a load truck command
from the DMS i1000 lap pad, the DMS i1000 sends new
data to and checks for new data from the ofce PC.
USB MEMORY DEVICE
If you have a FleetConnect system that relies on USB
memory devices to transfer data, the USB devices
must be physically moved between the trucks’ DMS
i1000s and the ofce PC at the beginning and end of
each shift. In the ofce, the transaction data from the
DMS i1000s must be copied from each USB memory
device and pasted into the C:\DMS folder on the ofce
PC. Database updates for the DMS i1000s must be
copied from the C:\DMS folder and pasted onto the
USB memory stick. In the eld, fuelers can manually
retrieve data from and manually save data to the
USB memory device before or after logon using the
Retrieve Database Updates and the Send
Transactions to Ofce
commands.

OPERATION
Fill Vehicles (Fuel Delivery)
Fill Vehicles is the lap pad screen from which fuelers can
activate fuel deliveries. It appears on the lap pad display
immediately after logging on. When the EZConnect

in the eld.
The fueler will need a RFID button to map in the DMS
i1000 and then attach to the new vehicle. It’s a good
practice to carry a bag of RFID buttons in the delivery
truck so they are on hand. To attach a RFID button to a
vehicle, nd a convenient spot near the fueling point on
