Lincoln LFC 2000 User manual

Keypad Overview
The keypad consists of an integral 40-column ticket printer,
antenna for RF communications and a 16-button keypad to
enter and authorize dispensing transactions. The keypad
also houses the electronics that maintain the computed
inventory levels via deliveries, dispenses and other manual
transactions.
The keypad is powered by 120VAC and should be installed
in a single building indoors as close to the RF meters (part
number 915) it will communicate with as possible (Max 300
feet) but yet secured from abuse and environment issues.
Reference the keypad installation instructions for a list of
materials that may significantly impact RF range. Software in
the keypad recognizes two levels of authority: Supervisor
and Operator. The Supervisors Personal Identification
Number (PIN) allows for system initialization, configuration,
communication diagnostics and report generation. The
operator pin authorizes and records all dispenses.
If RF Communications from the keypad to the RF meter are
unavailable (temporary obstruction, damage to the keypad,
power outage, etc) the meter may be programmed to
dispense in the manual mode by entering a code via the
buttons on the meter. In this mode, the meter will only
dispense after verifying that it is unable to communicate with
the keypad. All dispenses in this mode are recorded to
memory and, in total, are communicated to the keypad once
communications are reestablished. Inventory levels and
consumption data are updated when communications are
restored.
Keypad Installation
The keypad should be mounted upright with the antenna
pointing upwards, near a 120VAC electrical outlet, to a
structurally sound wall through the two holes on the top of
the keypad casing. Height on the wall should be 5’ to 6’.
Care should be taken to avoid mounting behind any steel
objects (tool storage cabinets and metal chain linked fences)
that may block the RF communication signal. Care should
also be taken to avoid direct, significant heat sources.
Menu Configuration
Software included in the RF keypad allows for tracking of all
fluids under its control. However all tanks need to be
defined and entered into the keypad detailing the size, type
of fluid, beginning balance, and any deliveries made by the
oil company supplier. Once established, the software
automatically tracks all dispenses and calculates the
balances. The system recognizes two levels of authority:
Supervisor initilizes, configures, communicates and report
generation and Operator dispenses fluids to work-orders.
