If you have configured delivery setup prompts including the preset field, press the Setup Delivery function key and follow the on screen prompts until you see Enter Preset. After entering the preset, press OK to accept the amount entered. Continue with any remaining setup delivery prompts, then start the delivery as normal and your system will stop at the entered preset amount.
If you have started a preset delivery and you need to add to the amount, or if you are using the multiple preset type option, it is possible to add to or append the preset amount. Simply press the Stop key, then press the Preset key and a prompt will be shown on the screen to enter a new preset volume. Once the new volume is entered, press OK to accept the change and then press the Resume button to continue fueling.
When selecting a preset type, it is important to know how the register will be used in the preset process. There are 3 options when selecting a preset type: Clear, Retain, and Multiple. The best way to describe each is by example.
If you are currently using a mechanical preset, the clear option will best match this functionality. A clear preset allows the user to set up a preset amount for a specific delivery. Using the Register keypad, enter the desired preset value by pressing the preset key or if using the delivery setup mode, enter a preset when prompted. Once the preset is entered and the delivery is started, the Register will deliver the set preset amount and complete the delivery once the amount is reached. With electronic registration this means that the end of delivery command will be generated and if applicable, the completed delivery ticket will be generated. This action will set the preset field back to zero (Clear) so the register is ready for the next delivery. If the next delivery also requires a preset, the user will need to enter a new preset amount following the same steps.
If you are planning to use the Register for batching, the retain preset is the best option for this process. Retain preset allows the user to set a preset amount on the register and retain that amount from delivery to delivery, each time issuing an end of delivery command and resetting the delivery amount back to zero but retaining the preset amount. The preset amount will be retained until an operator sets a new preset mount or sets the preset back to zero for no preset.
For applications in which you have an initial preset volume, but the final preset volume has not been determined, it is best to use the multiple preset option. Multiple preset allows the user to set a preset amount. However, once the preset is reached, the delivery is paused, not completed. This allows the user to either add more fuel on top of the preset amount or set another preset amount for the remaining amount. This process can be repeated over again until such time that a final amount is determined. Once the final amount is determined, the user issues the end of delivery command by pressing the End/Print key terminating the delivery. At this time, the preset amount is set back to zero and the user must set a new preset amount, if desired, for the next delivery.
