The Samson RFX is designed to control and monitor the consumption 

and inventory balances of automotive fluid products with minimal 

installation and programming costs. The wall mounted keypad module 

consists of a 12-button keypad, LCD display and integral ticket printer. 

The RFX keypad can control up to 48 meters and track 8 different 
fluids and tanks. It is capable of sending and receiving data typically 

up to 300 feet in a service facility installation. A unique, patented 

feature of the control system is that the dispense trigger of the RFX 

Meter is locked until authorization from the keypad is received. After 

the dispense is completed, the user can top off the dispense and the 
actual amount used is sent back to the keypad and this meter returns 
to the locked status. Additionally, the meter can be installed on 

portable dolly systems offering control and monitoring of often high-

cost lubrication products. Up to 50 operators can be defined with their 

own unique PIN number for accessing the system. The system 

provides dispense reports by operator, fluid type, meter or tank. This 

allows for flexibility in reviewing system activity. 
 

 

 
 

 

 
 

 

The operator enters his PIN number and selects the hose that the fluid is to be dispensed from. 

The operator then enters the required quantity and presses ENTER to confirm. The meter is then 

authorized to automatically dispense and shut off when the authorized amount of fluid is 

dispensed. The operator may then top off the vehicle for the proper fill, if necessary. The operator 
may allow the meter to “time out” or may depress “Reset” which sends all actual dispense data 

back to the keypad and puts the meter into a secure “Locked” status until the next authorized 
dispense work order is received from the keypad. After each dispense, a transaction ticket is 

printed showing the fluid and quantity dispensed along with the operator's name. 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

Mount the keypad to the wall either inside the shop on a wall facing the shop. In either case 

mount the included remote antenna INSIDE the shop up high on the wall with line of sight to all 

the meters. 

 

Range is 300 feet unobstructed, be sure to test the keypad/antenna mounting position with a 2188 

meter at all positions in the shop, and try to simulate a ‘worst case scenario’ with vehicle 
obstructions during testing. Performing this important step will ensure trouble-free service for the 

End User and no callbacks for the Installer.
