F-RAMS® Specifications

Operating Temperature: -40oF to +180oF (-40oC to +85oC).

Certified Intrinsically safe for hazardous (classified) locations by Factory Mutual Research Corporation for Class I, Division I, Group C and D for Class T3=200oC with Tamb=75oC.

Short circuit and reverse polarity protection prevents damage during truck "jump starts".

Low Dropout Voltage Regulators used throughout for stable operation during truck voltage surges and transients due to cold weather starting and operation of PTO's.

Individual Component Specifications
 
Master Control Unit (MCU)

Input Voltage Range: 6.9 to 25 VDC - reliable operation with truck voltage variations.

NEC 70820 Processor handles multiple functions simultaneously.

Data transfer to/from REMOTE DISPLAY UNIT via fiber-optic cable for safely and freedom from radio transmitters and truck electrical systems interference.

Open System Architecture for easy customization to user needs:

"PC" Operating System

Industry standard high speed data I/O ports (RS232, LPT1, etc.).

Software customization/upgrades via serial port without opening the enclosure.

Software written in "C" language.

Prover software allows accurate calibration without need for mechanical adjuster.

MCU Options

High Speed Serial RS232, RS422, RS485 connectors for custom applications.

24V Internal power supply for printers.

Parallel port for printer or data transfer.

Connector for magnetic stripe and "Smart Card" readers.

Internal PCMCIA card reader.

Single MCU for dual meter operation.

 

Rear Display Unit

10 Digit LCD display with annunciators provides clear view of delivery, totalizer, presets, etc. on a single panel.

Intel 80C196 High Speed CMOS processor.

Direct-fit, internal pulser. Bolt-on replacement for Veeder-Root mechanical counters for quick installation.

Temperature Volume Compensation A to D converters are software calibrated - eliminating the numerous adjustable "pots" required on other systems.

Data transfer to/from VALVE CONTROL UNIT via fiber-optic cable for safety and freedom from radio transmitters and truck electrical systems interference.

Input Voltage: Supplied by POWER SUPPLY UNIT/INTRINSIC SAFETY BARRIER.

 

Power Supply Unit/Intrinsic Safety Barrier

Supplies intrinsically safe power to REAR DISPLAY UNIT

Input Voltage Range: 6.9 to 25 VDC (reliable operation with wide range of truck voltage variations)

 

Emergency Shut-Off Switch

Allows "fail safe" emergency shut-off of valve solenoid power.

Enclosed in approved explosion-proof housing for safety.

Valve Control Unit

Intel 87C51 processor.

Enclosed in approved explosion proof housing for safety.

Controls single or two-stage solenoid valves.
