OTR (Over the Road):

OTR is a software/firmware option used by trucking fleets. Its primary use
is to provide for one Prokee or Smartcard to record transactions for refrigeration (reefer) units in
®
addition to the parent truck.

Proximity Card Reader

: a Proximity Card Reader is available for installation in an FMU for
reading 26 or 34 bit proximity cards. The Proximity Card Reader reads proximity cards in lieu of
User ID entries in VMN or Keyless systems (to include FMU-3500 AIM2™ FMUs).

Pulsers

:
pulsers output electronic pulses in a ratio proportionate to the quantity of product
pumped. A 10:1 pulser, for example, will output 10 pulses for every gallon of product pumped. The
more pulses, the greater the accuracy. FMUs can interpret pulses sent from a wide variety of
accessory pulsers and flowmeters as well as most factory pulse output boards installed in electronic
dispensing equipment. Syn-Tech carries the full line of Integrated Control Systems (ICS) pulsers.
There are pulsers for all applications which may be added to any new order, or purchased
separately as an add-on or replacement part.

Pulse Delay Circuits

:
small airport and marina applications use long fueling hoses with high
pressure fuel pumps. When the pump is turned on quantity may register on the dispenser quantity
indicator before any fuel is delivered to the customer. Weights and Measures inspectors will not
allow this to occur at retail self-service fueling sites. Pulse Delay Circuits were designed to delay
counting the quantity pulses until the hose is fully pressurized. The delay is adjustable to fit differing
applications.

Quick Stop Button

:
fixed FMUs may be equipped with a resettable external quick stop button to
quickly remove or restore power for the FMU. If wired into a controlling contact starter, the Quick
Stop Button may also be used to remove power from the entire service island.

Receipt Printer:

two Receipt Printer options are available: FMU pedestal mount or indoor. Both
Receipt Printer options print a receipt for automated transactions. The receipts print system owner
name, date, time, User ID, Vehicle ID, hose, product, and quantity. Additional custom information
may be programmed for receipt printing.
The pedestal receipt printer cuts off receipts after printing and deposits them in a chute with a clear
plastic access door. The door is manually lifted to remove the printed receipt. The pedestal receipt
printer utilizes a thermal printer, and contains a thermostatically controlled heater to keep its
electronics warm and the printer paper dry.

Retail Applications:

considerable research and field testing has been completed to ensure
compliance with Weights and Measures requirements. Filling long fueling hoses at small airports
and marinas can result in quantity differences between what the dispensing device displays and the
amount of fuel actually delivered to the customer. Delay devices have been developed to delay the
counting of pulses until the dispensing hose is fully pressurized. Large remote displays with four
inch quantity figures programmable to match the divide rate of the pulsers have been developed for
use at small airports and marinas. Firmware and software modifications have been made to comply
with Weights and Measures, and provide an export interface to FBO Manager. See Appendix E for
more details.
