DMS, Lap Pad, and Printer on
Mounting Brackets
General Information
The DMS is a data management system designed for
fuel delivery vehicles. The DMS is a computer with a
lap pad interface that mounts in the cab of a delivery
vehicle. It interfaces with the LectroCount ® LCR ® , LCR-
II ® , and LCR 600 ® electronic registers on single, dual,
or triple meter systems. The DMS gathers data from
the electronic registers, combines it with your unique
customer and transaction data, and transfers it to your
office PC and your accounting system.
The in-cab DMS CPU is enclosed in a rugged, metal
housing and features an internal, compact flash memory
card with plenty of memory for any customer database.
The DMS lap pad is a large, hand held, 30-key keypad.
The display is 8 lines by 30 characters and backlit
for easy viewing. The keypad case is sealed against
moisture, operates in temperatures as low as -22°F, and
is rubberized to resist petroleum products. Two spare
serial ports are also available for accessories such as
cell modems, RF transceivers, GPS tracking, and card
readers.
software
DMS computers are preinstalled with two support software programs, LCR Host and LCP File Server, and one or
more DMS application software programs. LCR Host is used to setup LCR networks and calibrate the metering
system. LCP File Server is a file manager program where operators can maintain and manage files. DMS computers
also include one or more DMS application software program. DMS application software programs combine the
metrological data from the LCR-II with your company’s operational data to produce a complete record of delivery
activity. Each application software program is tailored to the intricacies of a specific fueling application such as fleet
fueling, aviation, or fuel delivery. Each DMS application software program has a companion software program for the
office PC. These office PC software programs make up the DMS Office Middleware suite.
DMS Office Middleware programs are data capture programs for office PCs that convert and manage operational
data between the DMSs and third party accounting software. DMS Office Middleware’s user-friendly, Windows ® based
interfaces make it easy to build and manage a database tailored to your operations. DMS Office Middleware controls
a number of different DMS system features such as security and safety options, route reports, tax categories and
calculations, discount calculations, and ticket storage for future reprints. DMS Office Middleware is compatible with
Windows ® 95, 98, 2000, NT, XP, and Vista operating systems.
