Section 1 – MID:COM 8000 Installation Installation Overview These instructions describe the procedures to install a standard MID:COM 8000 computer register on a fuel delivery truck. Instructions for installing and using optional or additional accessories are included with those accessories. Attention to detail will insure long-term reliability. Mounting the Computer/Printer The MID:COM 8000 is supplied with an aluminum pedestal for mounting in the cab of the truck.
Power Hookup (continued) Make sure the negative terminal of the truck battery is grounded directly to the frame of the truck with a heavy conductor. The truck frame will be the connection point for all grounds. Locate the closest connection point to the positive terminal of the battery. Usually the heavy conductor attached to the battery post terminates to a junction block close by. This is where the 12-volt power will be picked up.
Power Hookup (continued) Terminate the shield and connect it to a nearby screw that is grounded. Use an Ohmmeter or test light to make sure the screw is grounded. A length of wire is supplied to create a ground cable from the underside of the pedestal top to the truck frame (use a 10GA single conductor cable and ring terminal and attach it to the underside of the pedestal top). Run the cable down to the top of the pedestal base and terminate again.
Truck Electrical System Checkout Procedure With the truck not running and all accessories off, measure the no-load voltage directly across the battery terminals. This voltage should be between 12.0 and 12.6 volts. A voltage reading less than 12.0 indicates a faulty battery. Replace the battery with a properly rated battery. This will insure proper operation under increasing load. With the truck running, the voltage should read between 13.5 and 14.0 volts.
Cable Routing Route the register cable from proximity of the register, down along the inside of the truck frame or along piping, and then into the cab. Keep away from other wiring as much as possible. Use the cable-ties supplied to secure the cable from movement and possible chaffing, and stay clear of moving parts. Where the cable must pass through a hole in sheet metal, use grommets to line the edge of the hole. The cable may run in a split loom or tubing to further protect it from weather and abrasion.
Figure 1. 8000 Back Panel Cable Connections Figure 2.
Computer Installation Checklist 1. Is the computer display clearly viewed from driver’s position? If not see “Contrast Adjustment” 2. Are cables routed away from moving parts? 3. Are computer and its cables free from rubbing on items in the cab? Check seat, dash, etc. 4. Is computer securely fastened to pedestal? 5. Is pedestal securely fastened to floor of cab? 6. Are grommets in place where cables pass through sheet metal? 7. Is register head sitting squarely on meter base? 8.
Installing the SRG00X-X Electronic Register and Accessories Spike Suppressor Installation All MID:COM 8000’s are shipped complete with one spike suppressor per register head, these are included in the installation kit. The spike suppressor must be installed across each hose reel solenoid – refer to the Solenoid Spike Suppressor Wiring Diagram on the next page.

SV101 Solenoid Security/Preset Valve For Models 6501, 8000, SmartLink, and E:Count PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION Valve: 706-0006 Security valve for use with the 6501 register head, equipped with a short cable and a 2 pin nylon connector. 706-0004 Security valve for use with the 6501 computer’s ticket interlock feature, equipped with a long cable and ¼ inch “microphone” plug. 706-0015 Security/Preset valve for use with the 8000 computer, equipped with a long cable and 4 position circular plastic connector.
PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION Wiring: 706-0006 The valve comes pre-wired to the register head if it was ordered with the 6501 system or register head. For field installation, a ½ inch N.P.T. opening must be made in the register cover to accommodate the cable’s compression fitting. Route the cable through the register cover and plug the 2 pin connector onto the mating header on the right side of the headboard, just above the register cable plug. Install the compression fitting and replace the cover.
PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION Plumbing: MID:COM has supplied valves manufactured by two different companies: Asco and Parker-Skinner. Although they are functionally the same, they are constructed differently and their ports are numbered differently. Valves No Longer Available: ASCO P/N 832058 Green solenoid housing with three ports on main valve body. 1 Parker-Skinner P/N X54LB2XXX Gold solenoid housing with two ports on main valve body, and one port out the solenoid cover.
Security Valve Installation 1. Make sure the meter is blown down and safe to break pipe connections. 2. Remove the vapor line going to the differential valve. 3. Referring to the port designations below, connect the “common” port to the differential valve with a pipe nipple. NOTE: Fittings and hoses are user supplied. 4. Connect the vapor line to the “vapor” port. 5. Connect the “pressure” port to any source of liquid pressure upstream of the differential valve.
Mounting the Register Head The MID:COM 8000 mounts directly onto a Neptune 1-1/4” or larger meter with no adapters. All other meters use a Veeder-Root style mounting and therefore an adapter is necessary to convert from the Veeder-Root style to a Neptune configuration. MID:COM supplies three adapters for this purpose as listed below plus a fourth adapter for Neptune compensators. MODEL VR-1 This adapter is used in the majority of conversions.
VR-1 Adapter The gear plate from the Veeder Root register must be used with this VR-1 Adapter. Modify the gear plate by removing and discarding the bevel tooth gear. Also remove the 25-tooth brass gear and replace with the 39-tooth gear that is attached to the adapter. Secure gear screws. Figure 7.

Section 2 – MID:COM 8000 Operating Instructions 8000 General Rules and Operating Procedure The MID:COM 8000 uses a 22 key keyboard and 4 line alphanumeric display for operator control. Although the system is basically menu driven, prompting the operator for input, certain operations are particular to the 8000 and must be thoroughly understood for ease of operation. The operator is prompted through the various modes of operation by a series of “screens” on the display screen.
At times, the operator will have to input new prices, taxes, preset volumes, etc. The method of entry the 8000 uses is called S.E.A., which is an abbreviation for “select-enteraccept”. This is unique to the 8000 and must be understood completely. For example, to enter a new price, the operator presses the line key pointing to the price on the display. A blinking cursor will then appear over the first or leftmost digit of the price.
8000 Startup The following example illustrates the first three (3) screens that the operator encounters after starting the truck: [SCREEN 1] MID:COM 8000 SOFTWARE VER XXXX SELF TEST STAND BY [SCREEN 2] NO DATACARD INSERTED [SCREEN 3] MID:COM 8000 SOFTWARE VER XXXX SELF TEST OK [MAIN MENU]
8000 Function 1 - Printing Shift Totals When “Print Shift Totals” is selected, the operator will be prompted to insert a blank ticket. Once the ticket is inserted to its full depth, the 8000 will begin printing the current shift total information which includes the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Time and date of previous shift printout. Current time and date. Totalizer Truck number. Driver number. Plant number. Total gallons delivered since last print out.
8000 Function 3 – Load Truck When the “Load Truck” function is selected, the following screen will appear:
8000 Function 4 – Setup Selecting “Setup” places the operator in a set of screens used to configure the 8000 for how it will be used, set the clock, enable discounts, etc. Setup is required when the machine is installed and periodically when such things as daylight savings time may require the clock to be reset. The screens in “Setup” are shown and explained below. The operator may arrow-down through the screens, change what is necessary, and then press start/stop to return to the main menu.
ELAPSED TIME PRINT
Miles (or kilometers) shows the current mileage on the truck. A new number may be entered here to correspond with the actual mileage on the truck. The mileage figure is updated as the truck is driven. Because the sensor does not distinguish between forward and reverse, there is an inherent forward “creep” for this reading when compared to the actual odometer. “Abort” will leave this screen and return to the main menu or press start/stop.
Subtract the beginning odometer reading from the last and enter the difference in “miles (or kilometers) driven”. Be careful to note the position of the decimal point. When accepted, press “calibrate complete” to exit and return to the main screen. At this point, all setup has been complete. 8000 Function 5 – Loading the Tax Code Information Besides entering and using single tax rates explained in the following sections, the 8000 can accept and use multiple tax codes.
8000 Function 6 – Making a Delivery without a Datacard From the main menu, press the down-arrow key. If using the E:Count, the Product Code of the previous delivery must be valid or else “Invalid Product Code” displays. All four lines of the screen will show the values from the previous delivery. Therefore, if the information does not have to be changed, the operator simply presses the down-arrow key and he will be prompted to insert the delivery ticket and begin the delivery.
Short-cut Delivery Delivery with a Datacard 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Insert the customer Datacard in the slot marked DATACARD before starting the truck or while in main menu. Select ▼ from the main menu. Select either SCAN ACCOUNTS or ENTER ACCOUNT NUMBER with corresponding Line Key button. If SCAN ACCOUNTS, use ▼ to find the account on the card. If ENTER ACCOUNT NUMBER was selected, enter the account number using the number keys.
8000 Computer Register Ticket Specifications Model MCR-80 DOT Matrix Printer General Type: Snap set or continuous form, with or without an envelope Copies: Maximum of 5 copies or a total thickness of 0.017” Paper Type: Top copy – Carbonless self-contained Remaining copies – carbonless or carbon interleave Width: 4.0 to 5.0 inches - Printer side stops are field adjustable and factory set at 4.25 inches Length: Minimum 4.
Cautions: It is very important to have no discontinuities in form thickness in the print area. All parts of the form need to bound at the insertion edge. If the ticket uses an envelope, the edge of the envelope or a strip for the envelope cannot be present in the print area. Perforations on any parts of the form are also prohibited in the print area. Failure to observe these cautions may cause ticket tearing and printer problems, and void warranties.
Printer Model MCR-80 Adjustments The MCR-80 Printer is adjustable for ticket width, ticket depth, and vertical line spacing. Unless otherwise specified, the factory settings are for a 4-1/4 inch wide ticket, depth as described below, and line spacing of 6 lines per inches. To readjust the printer, refer to the instructions below and illustrations accompanying this document. Printer Ticket Width Adjustment is made by moving the right and left ticket guides in or out.
get hung up upon inserting a ticket. Also if the spacers are removed you must attach the switch to the switch plate with different screws (4-40 X ½ BDSLMS). If the switch tang is to be positioned near the shaft or the back of the tray, make sure the ticket will fully depress the tang until it bottoms on the switch housing. After tightening the screws, insure again the switch tang travels freely, does not bind on the edge of the slot in the ticket tray and it is fully depressed when the ticket is inserted.

Section 3 – MID:COM SRGXXX-X Register Calibration Calibration of the MID:COM SRGXXX-X register is done in the register head using numerically encoded switches. See the accompanying section describing the register module and calibration procedures. The register leaves the factory with a calibrator setting of 1.000, which equates to a 1:1 ratio. When replacing an existing Veeder-Root register be sure to transfer any necessary gear plate from the register.

Section 5 – MID:COM E:Count Calibration E:Count Overview and Theory of Operation Meter Calibration and Temperature Compensation The MID:COM E:Count model MCR-05 is a general purpose electronic meter register for use with mechanical positive displacement meter with rotational output as well as other types of meters with electronic pulse outputs. In the case of a rotational output, the E:Count has an internal 100 pulse per revolution (ppr) quadrature encoder which converts the meter rotation to a pulse train.
E:Count Overview (continued) The second step in calibration, and only step after initial installation, is to determine the calibration factor with a prover or master meter. For initial installation a factor of 1.0000 should be used as a point of reference. Subsequently use the present factor. With a factor near unity, the meter error as expressed by PROVER VOLUME/REGISTER VOLUME results in a percentage in which the error can be added or subtracted to the current calibration factor as needed.
E:Count Overview (continued) Temperature Compensation Temperature compensation is done by table lookup only. The E:Count is loaded with the appropriate API or ASTM table for the following products: Comp Table # -----------00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 Description ----------UNCOMPENSATED PROPANE DIESEL/HEATING OIL GASOLINE LUBE OIL METHANOL ANHYDROUS AMMONIA JET-A FUEL JET-B FUEL ETHANOL The tables are interpolated and extrapolated as necessary to have 1024 entries ranging from -40 to +62.
E:Count Overview (continued) However, if the difference is large the following needs to be considered: 1. The displayed temperature will always correspond to the correct table value. 2. The resulting calculations using that value will also always be correct. 3. The table in the E:Count may not be the same as the one being used for the test. 4. The product being tested is not exactly the same as what the table is intended for.

Electronic Versus Mechanical Temperature Compensation Although difficult to quantify, our experience in the meter calibration business has shown that as much as a 1 percent gain in delivery product can be gained by the use of electronic compensation. In some cases more. There are a number of reasons: 1. Mechanical compensators use expanding bellows, which can only approximate the actual characteristics of the product. In the case of propane, it is a very poor match.
