and trouble diagnostics are built-in, to speed
analysis and repair if something is wrong. Electronics
components are robust and resistant to the effects
of shop electrical noise, temperature and humidity
variation, oil and dust.
Effective Information Handling...
The Spectrum
TM
system features an optional job ticket
printer which records dispense data as each job is
completed. Alternately, the system may be used with
an optional computer interface to off-load data to a
host PC, for analysis in an Access
TM
database
Intended use...
For successful installation and operation of Spec-
trum
TM
systems, observe the following limits of
intended use:
System installation distance limits: 1100 ft. from
console to most distant solenoid valve
.
Dispense from centralized fluid reservoirs to a
network of dispense points, rather than having one
reservoir and pump for each dispense location.
Use Spectrum
TM
air solenoid valves to operate the
air supply to each pump. The system is not designed
to operate without these valves.
Do not substitute valves, cable or other devices in
place of Spectrum
TM
components. Substitution may
cause malfunction, or loss of eligibility for Balcrank’s
warranty.
This equipment is designed for indoor use only.
Spectrum
TM
systems are for use with specified
automotive service fl uids only.
Do not attempt to exceed dispense point or station
capacity limits using unusual wiring schemes.
Be sure to provide electric power from sources
with surge protection and ground fault interrupt
protection.
To secure fl uid inventory against theft or misuse,
use the PIN code protection system provided in
Spectrum
TM
software.
Specifi cations:
Overview
The Spectrum
TM
System...
Is a fluid inventory control system designed to
operate, measure and control fluid distribution
from centralized reservoirs to multiple dispense
points.
True Control of Fluid Inventory...
The system features precise measurement of
dispensed fl uids in convenient units of measure.
It provides comprehensive security to prevent oil
theft, tailored through software options to provide
levels of control and operator records to match
the level of detail desired by the user. Records
of each dispense job are created and stored in
console memory.
Dispensing Ease...
Spectrum
TM
allows simultaneous dispensing of
unlike products. It also features a unique automated
job control system which allows the user to set up
dispense jobs in an authorization queue. Console
operating process steps are easily edited and
verifi ed. Units of measure are programmable.
Made for Performance-Oriented Facilities...
Spectrum 100
TM
has control capacity for moderate-
size facilities: up to 16-station control for 3 or 4 fl uids,
32 station control for 2 fl uids or 64 station control
for a single fl uid. Components are compatible with
automotive service fl uids: petroleum and synthetic
motor oils, gear oils, ATF, anti-freeze mixes (not
windshield washer fl uid). The wiring and control
architecture is built around a simple power and
communications network, with Smart Controller
TM
nodes near the dispense stations. Self test routines
