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.
E
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.
E
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.
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

simply switched from liters to gallons (no conversion from the previous
quantity unit to the new quantity unit)
The tank screens are used to set up the tanks in the system. Each tank is
assigned a number and a starting quantity level in the desired unit of
measure. The following is the process for installing a tank:
• Maximum of 8 Tanks
• Tank ID’s are numbered 1 thru 8
• Tank unit of measure can be quarts, liters, pints or gallons
• By default, the unit of measure is liters
• Set the dispensing unit of measure to the proper value
• The tank stock level setting is updated after each dispense from the
associated tank.
• The tank stock level quantity setting Format is 5.3 digits
(99999.999)
• The remaining tank stock level quantity will be printed out to the
nearest whole number after each dispense on the ticket.
• The Supervisor may update the tank stock level quantity setting at
any time by entering these screens to change stock levels

X.XXX.XXX.XXX
• RF Meters can be added and deleted
• Maximum of 48 RF Meters
• A given keypad can exchange data only with RF Meters whose
identification number is in this list.
• All RF Meters addresses and ids are unique
• The relationship between tank and RF Meter will be 1:n (one tank
assigned to n RF Meters). Since there will be a relationship
between tank and fluid type, the RF Meter will be assigned to one
fluid type.
• Initially the RF Meter address list is empty

RF Meters do not exist, then check to see if this RF Meter has already been
created in the system.
It is displayed for 3 seconds and it comes back to create hose screen.
The relationship between tank and RF Meter will be 1:n (one tank
assigned to n meters). Since there will be a relationship between tank and
fluid type, the RF Meter will be assigned to one fluid type. Assign the RF
Meter to the tank in which it is connected.

for the meter by the operator.
The supervisor has the option to delete a hose/RF Meter through
this screen. This is necessary when there is a change to the
system; whereby, a RF Meter needs replacement for any reason.
The supervisor should delete from the keypad the removed RF
Meter prior to creating the new RF Meter. This will put the new
RF Meter in the same logical position with the keypad and the
dispense order process will remain the same.
