7 ALTERNATIVES 7.1 Connection of OutTrak iMeter, data monitoring device The OutTrak iMeter box (Figure 4) may be connected between the electronic register and the printer. The OutTrak iMeter System is designed to obtain transaction data generated by the electronic register which then passes onto an onboard computer for invoicing purposes. The legal data is not affected and passes through the iMeter box to the printer and prints receipts as described in the certificate, the extra invoicing data is printed on the end of the legal receipt. Further invoice information generated by the on board computer can be printed on the onboard printer via Port 2. Note: This invoice information is not intended to replace the legal printed transaction data. There are three serial ports on the iMeter box: - Port 0 is the input port from the meter, this requires the purple cable. - Port 1 is the output port from the box to the printer, use the white cable for this. - Port 2 is the control port, this can either be connected directly to the on-board computer or to a Bluetooth adapter. The software version loaded on to the iMeter box can be checked by a switch located in a small opening on the side of the box. Turn ON switch 3 and power up the iMeter, a message will then be sent to the printer with the version details. Once the information is printed , switch 3 is switched off and the imeter box can be reset ready for use. A message similar to the following will print on the meter printer

OutTrak Software Services Ltd. RS232 MultiPlexer 3-Port Electronic Meter Interface Module Build Version 1.2.0 Operating Mode: A

The unit is sealed with tamper evident seals on two sides of the box and should be removed from the system if found to be damaged. 7.2 Twin Wetline System - Dual Flow (O Systems) 7.2.1 The system is a wet line system with an additional metered line for a different flowrate and minimum delivery. The additional line, Option I, is activated by valve R3 (Figure 1). The lines are interlocked to prevent simultaneous delivery. Switching between delivery outlet will terminate the delivery forcing a ticket to print before a new delivery commences. 7.2.2 An additional dataplate is required to cover the additional wet line. 8 RECOMMENDED TESTS

8.1 Perform an out of stock test by emptying a compartment or by shifting to an empty compartment in manifold configuration. Check for absence of air in sight glass downstream of the meter. 8.2 Perform an accuracy test with pre-setting device.

10/13

8.3 The meter measuring system shall be tested at a minimum of two substantially different rates of flow between the specified maximum and minimum rates of flow. 8.4 Check that compartments are prevented from communicating their contents simultaneously. 8.5 Check that for a Product Return operation the printer prints a ticket with Product Return on it. 8.6 Check that if more than one receipt per transaction is printed the second and subsequent ones are marked as Duplicates. 8.7 Check that if the vehicle battery is isolated the litre counter/control box display retains transaction data. 8.8 Open guard-bar method - Check that the product transfer guard bar cannot be closed and locked with the hose attached to the product transfer connector. 8.9 Closed guard-bar method – Check that the product transfer guard bar cannot be opened and the hose removed from the product transfer connector.
