Requirements
What You Need
In order to realize the full potential of the SICOM Timing System, there are several items that you need:
• A functional, properly installed SL-Series system.
• A SICOM Management (BOH) Software version 1.61 or higher.
• A minimum of two vehicle loops with detectors installed.
• A SICOM Timer Display or a Kitchen Screen positioned in the vicinity of the Drive Thru.
SL-Series System
A functional, properly installed SL-Series system must be present at each facility.
SICOM Management (BOH) Software
The version number must be 1.61 or higher. This version number can be displayed by logging into the Man-
agement application directly at the Manager’s terminal or your PC computer and selecting Main Menu then
Maintenance then Software Release Information. You should see something similar to the following:
Figure 1. MGRNG Version Number.
You are looking for MGRNG Version: v01_61 (With Service Pack 3) or higher. If an update is required, contact
SICOM Technical Support at 800-54-SICOM (800-547-4266) or 215-489-2500 and ask for the 1.61 upgrade.
We will send an update CD or download (depending on your current version) to your restaurant along with
instructions and training materials.
Vehicle Loops and Detectors
You need a minimum of two vehicle loops with detectors installed. These should be located at the drive thru
menu board and at the pickup window.
Most restaurants already have a detection loop at the menu board for the wireless headset system. SICOM
requires that the loop detectors have a dual output relay. Generally loops are available from a local vendor that
installs the headset systems. Loops and detectors are also obtained and installed by Muzak. Contact your local
vendor or Muzak (800-331-3340) for more information.
SICOM Loop/Timer Display
The SICOM Loop/Timer Display is an optional piece of hardware used with the SL-Series system, and wor ks as
a loop sensing device (not a loop detector) and has a one or two sided display that shows the current dr ive-thru
timing. The SICOM Loop/Timer Display connects to the SL-Series’s local network over Ethernet to communicate
and transmit it’s loop senses to the server and other Kitchen Screens, as well as display timing information from
another properly configured Kitchen Screen. It can receive input from up to 8 different loop detectors.
