Samson RFX Keypad 2190 Operating manual

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 sending 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 high-
cost 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 from.
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 actual 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.
