2. Overview
2.1 Product description
A typical system will consist of one or more control modules called I/O units and one or more
user entry devices called keypads. An I/O unit provides control for the fluid. It controls a
number of solenoid valves to start and stop dispenses by using information from flow meters
in the fluid lines. Up to 16 such I/O’s may be networked together allowing control of 128
valves in total, all of which may be used simultaneously. The keypad is the users interface to
the system allowing not only data entry to allow fluid to be taken but also system set-up and
maintenance. Up to 100(1) keypads may be used on a single system. Each keypad and each
I/O unit has a connection for a serial printer to allow individual transaction tickets to be
printed as well as various transaction and configuration reports. Additionally, the keypad also
has the facility to read bar codes using an optional bar code scanner.
The complete system may also be linked to a PC running MDS2000 software for centralised
management(2).

Functional description page 4/42
LMS_MDS2000_BA_02_1203
3. Functional description
The basic function of the system is to control the amount of fluid being dispensed. The system
implements this function by considering various user parameters. Initially, a technician must log onto
the system by entering his assigned PIN. The technician is then prompted to enter various
parameters, which can include job number, registration number and odometer reading. A hose must
then be selected for dispense and the product from this hose is then displayed for the technician to
confirm. Depending on the system setup, the technician may then be prompted for the actual
quantity to be delivered. The keypad will then return to the PIN screen to allow other dispenses to be
started.
During dispensing of the fluid, the volume is continually measured. Upon completion, a ticket may be
issued, with details of the transaction. These details are also stored in the memory for later recall.
Example of a transaction ticket
The workshop supervisor has access to some additional functions and features. By entering the
supervisor PIN, the supervisor has access to a range of facilities including adding or removing
technicians as well as checking and setting inventories. A supervisor may also request transaction
reports, which are printed to an available printer connected to the system. The supervisor level is the
lowest level of security. Two further levels exist: The customer level and the system level, each
protected by their own PIN. These additional security levels contain the parameters that control the
set-up of the entire system.

4. The keypad interface
All operations are usually done using the keypad operator interface. Below is a diagram showing
the layout of a keypad.
The keypad is laid out similar to that of a mobile phone.
Numeric data can be directly entered. If you need to delete a
digit, then press the up arrow.
For text fields, both numbers and letters are available. You can
toggle from number mode to letter mode and back again by
pressing the alpha key. When you are in the letter mode, press
additional keys to get the next letter. For example, press the
‘ABC’ key once for A, again to get B and a third time to get C.
A fourth press will take you back to A.
By using the up and down arrow, you can also move the cursor
forwards and backwards.
When navigating menus, use the up and down arrow to move through the options and enter to
select the desired option.
INFO: A short beep signifies a valid key press and longer beep signifies an invalid key press.
5. Start-up
When a I/O unit is powered up, it runs a series of internal diagnostic checks. These diagnostic
checks include hardware checks as well as memory checks. The results of these diagnostic will be
sent to the report printer if one is set up or to the I/O serial printer connection, if not. This report can
sometimes be useful in diagnosing problems. A typical I/O startup diagnostic report is shown
below.

Start-up / Accessing the system page 6/42
LMS_MDS2000_BA_02_1203
When a keypad is powered on, the display shows the version number of the keypad firmware, the
date and the keypad network ID. Once the keypad has established the communication with its
controlling I/O, the screen is updating. The new screen will be the one that the keypad was last
displaying when the power was switched off. Under normal circumstances, this will be the default
“Enter PIN” screen as shown below. Whilst this “Enter PIN” screen is being shown, if left alone for
60 seconds, the keypad will briefly show the date and time details.
The keypad will always return to the default PIN screen whenever you enter data for a dispense or
you exit the supervisor menu. Additionally, the keypad has a security feature where if it is left idle
for more than 60 seconds at any point in any menu; it will briefly display date and time details
before reverting to the “Enter PIN” screen.
6. Accessing the system
A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is required to perform any action. This ensures secure use
of the system and allows users to be given different levels of authority.
There are 4 levels of access, each with its own menu:
Level 1: User Request dispenses.
Level 2: Supervisor Users maintenance, stock maintenance & report printing.
Level 3: Customer Site-specific setup: Tanks, product names, hose setup & language.
Level 4: System System setup: Pulse unit configuration, operational settings & options.
Level 1 is for standard users (e.g. workshop technicians/operators)
Level 2 is for a supervisor to perform periodic management functions.
Level 3 and 4 are for system setup only. Standard users should not have access to these
features.
Before technicians can use the MDS2000 system, they must be set-up on the system. For
traceability, every user should be given this own unique PIN code to identify himself whenever he
makes a dispense.
Note: For the factory default PIN codes, refer to chapter 17.3.
CAUTION: To avoid unintentional or malicious changes being made to system parameters, it is
recommended to change the default security PIN codes. These codes should not be
available to standard users.

System principles page 7/42

7. System principles
7.1 Dispensing principles
The MDS2000 system controls the flow of fluid by opening and closing a valve in the fluid
line. The amount of fluid dispensed is measured by a flow meter. When the system is
dispensing, the MDS2000 opens the valve. It then monitors the activity of the flow meter and
measures the quantity of any fluid dispensed by counting pulses it produces. The valve is
then closed when either the fluid meter does not produce any pulses for a given period
called the inactive timeout and designated by tinac or a predetermined quantity is reached.
tinac is by default set to 60 seconds. However, it is user configurable to anywhere between 5
and 1000 seconds in 5 second intervals.
The predetermined quantity the technician can dispense is dependent on which dispensing
mode the MDS2000 is set to. These are:
•“Free dispense” mode: The quantity is the maximum dispense quantity for the outlet. This is
set-up as part of the configuration with each outlet having its own maximum dispense
quantity.
•“Preselect” mode: The technician enters the desired amount just prior to starting the
dispense. This value can be anything up to the maximum dispense quantity for the outlet.
The minimum dispense is 0.5 l.
The valve is never opened immediately after the dispense has started. There is an initial
delay whilst various parameters and systems are set up. This time is known as the initial
timeout (tinit). By default it is set to 6 seconds but is user definable and can be increased to
as much as 250 seconds. The minimum value for tinit is 5 seconds.
The MDS2000 calculates the quantity dispensed from the pulses received from the flow
meter. Each meter produces a set number of pulses per unit of fluid dispensed and each
outlet has its own pulses per unit setting.
7.2 Master valve / Air solenoid control
The MDS2000 not only provides control for the individual outlets, it can also be used to
provide control for the pumps that pressurise the fluid system. The “master valve” or “air
solenoid” output (O/P8) can be used to activate and deactivate an air valve connected to the
air line of the pump or pumps as and when dispensing starts and stops. The master valve
can be set as “individual” or “global”.
In individual mode, each I/O has its own independent master valve that is switched on and
off as the outlets on that I/O turn on and off. However, it is sometimes easier to use one
overall outlet to control all the pumps and you can achieve this by using the “global” setting.
In this way, the master valve on I/O 0 will be open if any valve on any I/O is opened. It will
remain open until 2 minutes (tmvto) after all the valves on the system are closed.
7.3 Free dispensing mode
The following diagram shows the sequence of events for a dispense in free dispense mode.
The order of events are as follows:
1. The MDS2000 activates the master valve (see notes above for more details).
2. After the initial time out (tinit), the valve opens.
3. As fluid flows, pulses are counted from the flow meter.
4. Dispensing of fluid can pause as long as the pause is not greater than the inactive
timeout period (tinac) otherwise, the valve will be closed and the dispense ends.
5. The master valve closes 2 minutes after the valve is turned off (tmvto).

System principles page 8/42
LMS_MDS2000_BA_02_1203
7.4 Preselect dispensing mode
The diagram below shows the sequence of events for a preselected dispense.
The order of events are as follows:
1) The pump air solenoid (or master valve)
turns on
2) After an initial timeout (tinit), the hose
solenoid opens. This timeout is
configurable by the user. The default time
is 6 seconds.
3) As fluid flows, pulses are counted from
the flow meter.
4) Once the required number of pulses have
been counted, the hose valve closes.
5) The dispense ends when there is a 2
second period where no pulses are
received (tpede).
6) The master valve then closes 2 minutes
after the valve is turned off (tmvto). The
master valve will remain open if another
dispense is started before the 2 minutes
are up.
7.5 Job verification
The job verification feature allows the fluid management system to verify that a job number
or job number/registration number combination exists on a third party database such as an
invoicing system. If successfully matched, fluid dispensing can take place. In addition, a
quantity and product can be predefined. If no match is found, an error message is given and
no dispensing can occur. This feature requires the use of the Fluid Management PC
software though the options for set-up are maybe visible on systems that do not use a PC
(see the PC software manual for more details).
7.6 Transaction memory & printing
The MDS2000 requires setting up for two types of printing: One for printing tickets for a
particular dispense and one for generating reports. In order to understand the printing
options, an understanding of where transactions are stored and a concept called “I/O
groups” is required.
Each I/O is responsible for the control of up to 16 keypads, presenting them with all the
screens the keypads show and storing all the data the keypads generate. The keypads that
are related to an I/O are determined by their ID. I/O 0 is responsible for keypads 0 to 15. I/O
1 is responsible for keypads 16 to 31. I/O 2 is responsible for keypads 32 to 47 and so on.
Note: An individual I/O and the set of keypads that are controlled by it form an I/O group.

System principles / Software configuration
LMS_MDS2000_BA_02_1203
Each keypad stores the dispense data it generates in the transaction memory of the I/O.
Which I/O stores the data is the one that belongs to the same I/O group the keypad used to
initiate the dispense. This is irrespective of the I/O that controls the hose that the dispense
will ultimately use; e.g. start a dispense using any of the keypads 0 to 15 and the data is
stored on I/O 0.
There is no mechanism to transfer data between I/O groups, so this limits not only where the
transaction tickets can be printed to, but can also limit the amount of data shown on a
transaction report as well. Only printers connected to units within the I/O units group that
holds the data can be used to print it. So when keypad 0 starts a dispense, the data is stored
on I/O 0. Consequently, any ticket must be printed from a printer connected to a unit in I/O's
0 I/O group. Similarly, only reports generated from within I/O group 0 will contain the
dispenses done on keypad 0.
It is important to remember the following when setting up the system:
•Printers can be connected to any keypad or I/O.
•There are 2 separate ticket print options allowing you to generate up to 2 separate tickets
for each dispense. These can be to the same printer of different printers or turned off
completely.
•Each keypad has its own ticket printing options and these must be set at each keypad
separately. You cannot set keypad 0's ticket print options from any other keypad than
keypad 0.
•The ticket print options of the keypad used to initiate the dispense determines the location
of any tickets printed.
•Each I/O group has its own report printer setting which can by modified by any keypad in
that group. Consequently, it only needs to be set once for each I/O group.
•Any transaction report generated will show data that was generated from keypads within
a single I/O group only. That I/O group is the one the keypad used to start the report
belongs to; e.g. if you use keypad 0 to initiate a transaction report, only transactions
stored on I/O 0 will be printed.
•If a system has more than 16 keypads, transaction data will be stored on 2 separate I/O's
and so 2 report printers will be needed to generate a complete report. We would normally
recommend using the MDS2000 PC interface and software on such a system to collate
the data into a single location.
8. Software configuration
Before a system can be fully used, it must be first set-up. The MDS2000 system does have some
default parameters that allow limited use, generally for testing purposes only. These should be
changed for settings that are appropriate to the installation. These parameters are spread
throughout the 3 levels of security: Supervisor, Customer and System.
The recommended sequence for setting up a MDS2000 is as follows:
1. Clear transactions.
2. Go to the system level and set-up all the system level parameters.
3. Exit from the system level and set-up all the customer level parameters.
4. Exit from the customer level and set-up all supervisor level parameters.
5. Add required technicians
6. Set-up ticket printers from each keypad individually.
Although the order you set-up the parameters is not important in itself, using the above sequence is
the best way to ensure that no parameters are missed out. For system of less than 16 keypads,
you may use the keypad for configuration. For systems with more than 16 keypads, it is highly
recommended to use the PC software instead. The configuration only has to be entered once on
the PC and sent to the MDS2000 system.
Note: Details for setting up the PC interface and using the PC software can be found in the PC
software manual.

The dispense will be refused for this tank.
Note: The Stop level must be lower than the Warn level for that tank. Message: “Invalid Qty”.

from a MDS2000 tank gauge unit.
-- This function is not active --

shut off after an ‘Inactive Timeout’ or after ‘Max Dispense’ quantity is
reached.
When this menu option is selected, the display shows whichever mode is currently set:
Use the up and down arrow to select “Pre-Select” or

timeout is 5 seconds.
