  • Complete Delivery Management

  • Control at the end of the hose

  • Sophisticated logic with multi-meter, compartment & product control

  • Fleet fuelling

  • MEC Smart Interlock status indicators

MEC Smart Interlock Integration

The BASE ProControl 3 universal remote is now compatible with all MEC Smart Interlock devices for increased safety and efficiency of LPG trucks.

  • MEC Interlocks prevent delivery trucks from operating under unsafe conditions by responding to the presence or absence of other devices, such as a door being latched or a hose nozzle being seated in its storage housing.

  • The PC3 receiver reads the interlock sensor signal and transmits them to the handheld for display. The user simply enters the MAIN MENU and selects the INTERLOCK STATUS icon to view a list of the interlocks and their state.

  • This upgrade allows for the connection of up to 5 smart interlocks to be integrated with the PC3 handheld for fast & easy visual indication of truck interlock status.

  • Not only does this function add a layer of safety, but it also increases reliability by allowing for rapid and accurate real-time troubleshooting of interlocks while the truck is on route.

ProControl 3 Barcode Scanner

Coupled with the ProControl 3 RFID reader is the new Barcode Scanning feature. This option allows the fleet manager the flexibility of choosing between our rugged RFID tags or inexpensive universal barcode for asset identification.

Whether a residential, commercial, or fleet fueling delivery; with the push of a button, the scanner on the PC3 illuminates and reads the barcode for identification of each vehicle or piece of equipment. With an OBC storing the customer asset data, the ProControl 3 begins the delivery process from the end of the hose, capturing the volume delivered for each piece of equipment . Eliminating the need to return to the cab of the truck for manual data entry or delivery ticket manipulation, streamlining your process.

MEC Excela-Wynd Hose Reel Control

Fully integrated with Excela-Wynd hose reel and Variable Speed controller. One touch of the reel-out button releases the electronic motor, activating the auto-push feature to take the starting hose pull effort off the driver. The reel-in function can be activated by holding the reel-in button, which engages the auto-wind feature.

The new ME9000 Series Excela-Wynd Hose Reel increases delivery efficiency and safety while reducing downtime, comp claim injuries and driver fatigue. Adjustable speed control allows the driver to set their preferred walking speed with the touch of a button.

Enhanced Point of Sale

When connected to an LCR register with pricing enabled*, the PC3 allows for full point-of-sale functionality: pricing, tax, discounts, miscellaneous charges, and more. This information is extended wirelessly to the delivery ticket - straight from the palm of your hand!

The intuitive, simple to use menu lets the operator press the delivery setup button on the handheld to display the delivery setup menu. The operator is then presented with the available delivery options to customize, as predefined per delivery. Once the desired parameter to be adjusted is selected, the PC3 moves through the subsequent screen flows, customizing only those delivery parameters required.

  • An easy-to-use delivery setup menu controls all available delivery pricing parameters including the pricing and preset by dollar amount on compatible registers*, tax percentages, & miscellaneous charges, all extending to the ticket creating a customer invoice at the time of delivery.

    *Preset dollar and volume amounts are supported by LCIQ and LC-600 registers. LCR-II registers support preset by volume only.

  • The PC3 Point of Sale improves delivery system security with administrative-level settings that are password protected. Managers can access register setup, product codes /details, and register diagnostics; enabling and disabling delivery parameters. Operators have access to the appropriate delivery functions, preventing costly mistakes.

  • The sophisticated logic of the PC3 allows for the inter-linking of product, compartment, meter, pump and hose reel functionality. While interlock display provides real-time status of your vehicles interlocks.

Taking a step beyond the capabilities of a standalone ProControl 3 system, the center of BASE’s Automation platform, the BASEStation HUB, does the heavy lifting for the fully automated truck.

The HUB communicates with the ProControl 3, the chassis, tank, pumps, valves, and the engine to thoroughly understand what’s happening on the truck.

All data collected and stored in the HUB can be transmitted in real-time to the back office through cellular, Wi-Fi, and USB sticks.

RFID & Barcode Scanning

Making deliveries faster and more accurate.

  • Rugged RFID tags or inexpensive barcodes are affixed to each vehicle or piece of equipment. The fuel truck operator reads the ID with a simple button push on the BASE handheld which records the vehicle ID and identifies the appropriate product. The operator then uses the same remote control to start the pump, increase the flow if needed, monitor the volume of fuel delivered, and shut down the pumping operation in the event of an emergency. The handheld captures the exact volume delivered to each piece of equipment without the need to return to the truck for manual data entry.

  • Prevents unintended tank filling. When the fuel truck operator scans either the RFID tag or barcode on his ProControl 3, the ID information and product for this specific tank is transmitted back to the BASEStation Hub on the truck. If the tank ID corresponds to an authorized customer delivery, the system automatically authorizes the correct meter. Pushing the “PTO” or “Pump” button on the remote will start the delivery process. If no signal is received the pump will not operate. Unauthorized, accidental, or incompatible product deliveries cannot be made without the deliberate multi-step bypass sequence, which will be “red-flagged to management”.

  • Tank location is confirmed with each delivery and fed daily to the back-office database. A report displays the location of all “active” tanks and the last known location of all “inactive” tanks.

    Tanks that are exchanged in the field will show the new ID, date, and location of subsequent fills. Tanks that are taken out of service for repair/testing will be logged as such when the new ID is assigned. This helps to manage tank inventory and track asset location.

    *RFID and barcode option requires an interface to an on-board computer database.
