PROCONTROL 2 REMOTE READOUT with RFID

Basic system includes Remote Meter Readout With Truck Controls as requested by Customer. Modular components allow for easy installation and field replacement.

Designed to allow complete control over fuel delivery operations.
Handheld LCD display shows the exact meter reading to 1/10th of a unit in real time.
Direct serial interface with meter register shows a mirror image volume identical to the truck mounted register
Preset option allows operator to program delivery to exact amount.
Handheld remote control unit with backlit LCD display will operate up to 500ft from truck.
Kits available for all types of electronic and mechanical registers, including dual metered double pumper trucks - reads in gallons or liters. Includes handheld remote display unit and truck mounted receiver/controller
Ideal for"will call" deliveries and monitoring delivery volume while pumping

Operator has simultaneous control of up to eight Custom truck operations in addition to remote meter display described above
Hose Reel remote control allows operator to unwind or rewind delivery hose saving wear and tear and possible injury
Tank Valves can be opened with automatic "delay" feature to engage PTO/Cargo Pumps. Allows piping to charge and prevents internal valve slugging with one button push. Saves pump wear by engaging pump only when product line is charged and nozzle is connected to tank
Engine RPM can be remotely controlled to increase or decrease pump volume
Emergency Stop feature closes all tank valves and stops truck engine
Available with 5-minute 'Query' automatic emergency shut-down feature
Compiles with all US, Canadian, and international DOT standards for fuel truck remote emergency shut-down.

Note : Emergency Stop requires manual system reset at truck - internal valves and pumps cannot be reactivated with the handheld following e-stop. Pressing the e-stop button repeatedly sends the same shut-down signal. Driver can be safely moving away from the truck and be assured of shut-down.

RFID Option allows Customer Tank Interlock, Fleet Refueling ID Capture, Product Manifold Interlock and Asset Tracking

Customer Tank Interlock prevents unintended tank filling. A small RFID tag is affixed to the customer’s storage tank or fill spout. When the fuel truck operator pushes the “Tank ID” button on his BASE handheld, the ID signal for this specific tank is transmitted back to the truck .If the tank ID corresponds to an authorized customer delivery then the system automatically opens the trucks product valve. Pushing the “PTO” or “Pump” button on the remote will start the delivery process. If no RFID signal is received the pump will not operate. Unauthorized or accidental deliveries cannot be made without a deliberate multi-step bypass sequence that is “red-flagged” to management.
Fleet Refueling Inexpensive RFID tags are affixed to each vehicle or piece of equipment. The fuel truck operator reads the ID with a simple button push on the BASE handheld which records the vehicle ID to the delivery ticket. Operator then uses the same remote control to start the pump, increase the flow if needed, monitor the volume of fuel delivered, and shut down the pumping operation in the event of an emergency. Captures exact volume delivered to each piece of equipment without returning to the truck for manual data entry.
Product Interlock RFID tags can be programmed to be product specific. The RFID signal is received back to the truck as outlined above but only a specified compartment will open depending on the product assigned to the RFID tag. Prevents accidental delivery of the wrong product.
Asset Tracking The hardened plastic RFID tag is permanently affixed to all customer tanks. Tank location is confirmed with each delivery and fed daily to the back office database. A report is generated showing the location of all “active” tanks and the last known location of all “inactive” tanks. Tanks that are exchanged in the field will show the new ID, date, and location of subsequent fills. Tanks that are taken out of service for repair/testing will be logged as such when the new tank ID is assigned. Helps to manage tank inventory and track asset location.
RFID Tag Low cost RFID tags are passive and require no battery or power connection. The RFID signal is generated by the BASE remote control handheld and transmitted up to 500ft back to the fuel truck mounted controller.
