Diesel dispenser

This product was designed to provide control and logging of diesel issuing on the farm. It works by requiring a properly authorised driver and a properly identified vehicle before it will allow diesel to be pumped. In addition, it may be set to require a properly identified cost centre as well.

Similarly to our clocking systems, it makes use of Dallas i-buttons to identify drivers, vehicles and cost centres. We generally use yellow tags for drivers, blue for vehicles and green for cost centres.

The heart of the system is an electronic control box, which is used to record data and open a valve or switch on a pump, allowing diesel to be issued.

The control box contains a memory module with data on employees, vehicles and cost centres, and also used for recording of diesel transactions. This memory module can store 1700 transactions, at which point (or preferably before!) the memory stick must be downloaded into your computer, by means of a docking station.

Once downloaded, you may decide to edit the data by adding extra fields such as field number, process or cost centre group/class. You may add or delete any records as well.

Stock control of diesel is also possible, by recording diesel purchases and entering stock level adjustments when needed.
