1. FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The E4000 electronic register system automates delivery and invoicing operations for deliveries
of LPG, distillate fuels and other commercially distributed liquids from owmeters on bulk delivery
trucks.
The electronic register displays the delivered volume on the owmeter at the rear of the truck as
is traditional with mechanical registers in this application. Electronic temperature compensation
allows deliveries to be made in gross or net volumes according to local practice. A printer in the
cab provides a simple volume delivery ticket or, using the E4000’s pricing capability, a complete
priced invoice as a record of the transaction. Tickets are time and date stamped for security. An
end of shift report can be conveniently generated to totalize the day’s deliveries by product. This
allows administrative staff to reconcile individual tickets with the shift as a whole. Delivery data is
held for up to 100 deliveries in battery-backed memory. (Battery life is approximately 10 years.)
The driver controls the E4000 from a push button panel on the front of the register. This allows
yes/no type decisions to be made and numerical values to be entered that are associated with
delivery functions. The buttons are used to navigate menus that appear on the display screen,
guiding the user to perform the required function. This interactive approach makes the register
easy to operate by inexperienced personnel.
The E4000 can control a security valve to prevent fraudulent LPG deliveries being made without
the register recording them. The solenoid valve is used with the LPG meter’s existing differential
valve to prevent ow. For both LPG and petroleum liquids, an optional driver-programmable
2-stage preset valve allows the delivered amount to be set at a predetermined volume or
monetary amount, subject to volume measurement resolution.
The E4000 adapts mechanically to Neptune and other manufacturers’ tank truck owmeters.
Temperature compensation is achieved via an RTD probe installed in the owmeter that directly
contacts the delivered product and measures its temperature. The ability to accept an electrical
pulse input allows the E4000 to work with today’s advanced owmeter technologies.
The E4000 is designed to interface with the latest mobile computing products. Mobile computers
bring customer database and delivery information from the ofce onto the truck. The register
updates the customer record as deliveries are made during the shift. Formatted tickets can be
printed that include customer information that has been downloaded from the computer. At the
end of the shift, captured delivery information is carried back to the ofce in the computer to be
downloaded to the main customer accounts database.
The E4000 features a calibrated pulse output which can be used to interface with remote meter
displays and/or remote control truck delivery systems.

3. SYSTEM COMPONENTS
3.1 E4000 Register Head
The E4000 electronic register is designed and eld proven
to withstand the harsh environment on tank trucks. The
enclosure is plastic with a NEMA 3 rating.
The E4000 can be mounted directly on the positive
displacement owmeter so that the mechanical drive
of the meter rotates an optical pulse encoder mounted
in the register. Alternately, the register can be mounted
wherever required when receiving a pulse output from a
meter. Counting the pulses indicates the amount of product
measured by the owmeter during a delivery. An optional
temperature compensation kit can be added to the base unit.
An operator communicates with the register via an LCD screen and a 4 button control panel. Internally
mounted relays operate electrical solenoid valves to control the ow of product. Delivery ticket information
is transmitted through the power/data cable from the rear of the register to a cab mounted junction
box, then to the ticket printer or hand-held computer.
Power and data connections are made to terminal strips inside the register and junction box.
Conguration parameters are programmed into the register manually by the buttons or from an
external computer using the E4000 conguration program.
An internal calibration switch is positioned inside the register to allow access to the Weights and
Measures conguration menu, and is mechanically sealed on the outside of the register.
3.2 Display
The 2x20 character LCD display is primarily intended to show the volume of product being deliv-
ered. The two-line display conguration also allows two
parameters to be shown simultaneously, such as deliv-
ered volume and price during delivery or net and gross
volume during calibration. The display is also the method
by which the E4000 communicates instructions to opera-
tors as they navigate through the software menus.

3.3 Keypad
The 4 button keypad is the method used to enter conguration data and select function options
for the E4000 register.
START/ENTER Conrms/accepts selected option on display
^ Increments the displayed character through the available character set
> Moves cursor to the right .
STOP/CANCEL Terminates delivery or exits current selection.
Pressing the up arrow on the control panel will scroll the selected character through a complete
ASCI character set (upper and lower case letters, all numerals and symbols). A space character
is also included in the character set. It is the fth character after the lowercase z and is located
between the right facing arrow and the exclamation point:
→, [space], !
Access the Weights and Measures functions by depressing the internal switch beneath the seal
screw on the side of the register and pressing the > button simultaneously.
3.4 Electronic Temperature Compensation (Optional)
A temperature probe is available as an option for electronic temperature correction of the
delivered volume of product. This correction is mandatory for some products under Weights and
Measures legislation in certain states and countries. The probe is a 100 ohm RTD. The E4000
measures the product temperature during delivery and uses the approved API volume correction
table for the product at that temperature. The resulting calculation when applied to the gross
volume gives a net volume corrected to 60 OF or 15 OC depending on the chosen units.
The use of electronic temperature correction has been shown to reduce the amount of
unmeasured product by approximately 1% versus mechanical ATC. For uids without a
recognized correction table, approved formulas or expansion factors are used to calculate net
volume. The RTD probe can be installed in a Neptune meter, replacing the mechanical ATC
bellows, or in the strainer cover.

3.5 Valve control
Red Seal Measurement provides an optional single stage solenoid valve (gure 3-4) to control
the opening and closing of the differential valve on LPG meters. The valve is opened only when
the E4000 is powered and the start button has been pressed to commence a delivery. The valve
will close whenever the stop button is pressed during a delivery or power is lost to the register.
Dual stage valves are also available for making preset deliveries of LPG or petroleum (gures 3-5
& 3-6). The E4000 has 2 relays which control the two-stage shut off either by volume or monetary
amount. The rst stage reduces ow by 90% to slowly bring delivered volume up to the preset
amount. The second stage shuts off ow when the preset amount is reached without hydraulic
shock to the delivery system.
Figure 3-4. Single Stage LPG Valve Figure 3-5. Dual Stage LPG Valve
Figure 3-6. Dual Stage Petroleum Valve
Caution: All valves supplied with
the E4000 (security valves and dual-
stage preset) are wired with an in-line
TVS (transient voltage suppressor) to
protect the E4000 from harmful volt-
age spikes. If an E4000 is installed on
another manufacturer’s meter with a
different solenoid valve (or a Neptune
meter using another manufacturer’s
valve), an appropriate TVS must be
installed. Contact customer service
for details.

12
3.6 Junction Box
The junction box, located in the vehicle cab, houses a
PC board and serves as the connection point for the
E4000 peripherals mounted in the cab. The power to
the E4000 and printer is distributed from here. Data
passes through the junction box on its way to the printer.
The RS232 data link from the E4000 to any peripheral-
computing device such as a Hand held or Laptop is
made here. The same RS232 connector is used for
downloading the E4000 conguration parameters from a
laptop using the E4000 Conguration Program.
3.7. Printer
The E4000 printer is an Epson TM-U295 single feed style dot-
matrix printer which uses a standard 4-1/8” wide truck meter
delivery ticket , Neptune or Veeder Root. The printer is intended
for internal use only and should be mounted in the cab of the truck.
A data cable is supplied with the printer kit. The printer power cable
comes with the Junction Box. The junction box steps up truck
voltage from 12V to 24V to power the printer. The E4000 can also
be used with a Blaster printer or an EPSON TM-U220D roll printer.
3.8 Mobile Computer
The E4000 has been specically designed to operate with a mobile
computer such as a laptop, hand-held or PDA. The computer plugs directly into the 9-pin RS-232
serial connector on the junction box that is not occupied by the printer.
There are two modes of operation with an external computer:
1. The computer is running the E4000 Conguration Program and is temporarily connected to the
junction box to change non metrological parameters and update stand alone pricing.
2. The computer has fuel delivery application software running and carries customer account
information required by the driver during a shift. The computer interacts digitally with the E4000,
extracts volume data and uses this to calculate the customer invoice and update the account
records. The mobile computer updates the company database when returned to the ofce at the
end of the shift.

The junction box dimensions are 10.5” x
7”. Select a suitable location, orient the box, and mark and drill the bolt holes in the mounting
surface. The mounting holes are accessible from inside the box. Route the power and data
cables to the junction box. Secure excess cable to prevent damage.
4.13 Wiring the E4000 Register Head
The supplied 40 ft. power/data cable connects the E4000 and the cab mounted junction box.
Run the power/data cable the length of the truck from the owmeter to the cab and into the area
selected for the junction box. Automotive conduit is recommended to protect the cable from the
environment. Secure the cable to the truck frame or existing truck wiring using cable ties.
Some drilling may be required to pass through plating at the back of the truck and through
bulkheads into the cab. Placing grommets on any holes to prevent cable damage is
recommended.
The power/data cable should pass through the right side port of the E4000 register as viewed
from the rear (gure 4-16).
Make the connections as shown in the wiring diagrams for the E4000 register (gure 4-13, single-
stage valve or gure 4-14, dual-stage valve). The colors of the wires are shown in the diagram for
identication purposes. The numbers correspond to the E4000 terminal strip position to which the
wire is connected. See gure 4-15 for an example of proper wire routing and connection.
Caution: The drain (shield) wire should be cut off on the register end to prevent interference with
power or data lines. The drain wire is connected at the junction box end only.
Caution: Factory supplied plastic cable glands and metal liquid tight connectors prevent
