Introduction

 

The TCS 3000 register is a fully integrated custody transfer flow computer that will control all vehicle delivery operations.  
The Open Software Architecture provides the option of a simple “

Pump & Print” 

delivery or a custom measurement solu-

tion.  The TCS 3000 features a 4.5”x 3.5” full color VGA display screen, multiple delivery screens and a flexible mounting 
with backlit alpha-numeric keypad for the user interface. Available in flexible mounting configurations of 75 or 90 degree 
displays for meter mounting, and a remote mounting.  

As an flow computer with open software architecture, there will always be a need to add features to the register as the 
industry applications evolve.  Therefore please be reminded to contact the factory for periodic updates.  

 

The TCS 3000 electronic register is a fully integrated flow computer that will control all delivery operations.  The modular 
design and open software architecture provide you with a tailored system that is expandable for future needs.  The TCS 
3000 features a large easy view VGA screen, alpha-numeric keypad and open printer interface for simple “Pump and 
Print” deliveries.  Software features offer complete flexibility of delivery screen information and view, preset, price/tax, 
ticket format and password protection.  

 

Optional GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Cellular capability enables the TCS 3000 to improve your product security and ease 
access to your delivery data to reduce your operation costs.  Many additional features are available (multiple product 
delivery, additive injection, density/temperature correction, multiple valve & pump control, etc.) to enhance your measure-
ment solution.
