Descriptio

Descripción/ Descriptio

The Samson RFX is designed to control and monitor the consumption and inventory balances of automotive fluid products with minimal installation and programming costs. The wall mounted keypad module consists of a 12-button keypad, LCD display and integral ticket printer. The RFX keypad can control up to 48 meters and track 8 different fluids and tanks. It is capable of send ing and receiving data typically up to 300 feet in a service facility installation. A unique, patented feature of the control system is that the dispense trigger of the RFX Meter is locked until authorization from the keypad is received. After the dispense is completed, the user can top off the dispense and the actual amount used is sent back to the keypad and this meter returns to the locked status. Additionally, the meter can be installed on portable dolly systems offering control and monitoring of often highcost lubrication products. Up to 50 operators can be defined with their own unique PIN number for accessing the system. The system provides dispense reports by operator, fluid type, meter or tank. This allows for flexibility in reviewing system activity.

The operator enters his PIN number and selects the hose that the fluid is to be dispensed fro m. The operator then enters the required quantity and presses ENTER to confirm. The meter is then authorized to automatically dispense and shut off when the authorized amount of fluid is dispensed. The operator may then top off the vehicle for the proper fill, if necessary. The operator may allow the meter to “time out” or may depress “Reset” which sends all actua l dispense data back to the keypad and puts the meter into a secure “Locked” status until the next authorized dispense work order is received from the keypad. After each dispense, a transaction ticket is printed showing the fluid and quantity dispensed along with the operator's name.

Mount the keypad to the wall either inside the shop on a wall facing the shop. In either case mount the included remote antenna INSIDE the shop up high on the wall with line of sight to all the meters.

Range is 300 feet unobstructed, be sure to test the keypad/antenna mounting position with a 2188 meter at all positions in the shop, and try to simulate a ‘worst case scenario’ with vehicle obstructions during testing. Performing this important step will ensure trouble-free service for the End User and no callbacks for the Installer.
