INTRINSICALLY SAFE DELIVERY SYSTEM
BASE Engineering’s newly engineered hand-held is the first and only all-in-one intrinsically safe handheld solution for the Oil and Gas industry.
Designed specifically for tank truck delivery by the company with over 90,000 systems installed around the world, this all-in-one controller can greatly improve delivery efficiency and reduce costly delivery mistakes.
This system is simple to retrofit or install on new equipment
Alpha/Numeric keypad for enhanced hose-end data entry and invoicing*
3.5” color screen for direct sunlight and nighttime reading
In-cab charging cradle alerts when the handheld is not in the vehicle
12 custom remote functions and custom delivery screens configured for your operations
Preset delivery volume to reduce waste and increase efficency
Designed to IP67 standards to handle most environments
On-screen indicators for radio signal strength and low battery
Tactile feedback with vibration and an audible buzzer
Seamless integration with optional BASEstation on-board computer
SAVE TIME AND COSTS. INCREASE OPERATOR SAFETY.
- Meter reading to 1/10th of a unit in real time (gallons and litres)
- Direct serial interface to truck mounted register for accurate volume display
- RFID ‘Scan & Pump’ technology prevents theft, tracks assets, and tracks invoicing*
- Ideal for “will call” deliveries and monitoring delivery volume while pumping
- Hose Reel remote control: unwind or rewind delivery hose saving time, hose wear, and possible injury
- Tank Valves can be opened with automatic “delay” feature to engage PTO/Cargo Pumps
- Save pump wear: allows piping to charge and prevents internal valve slugging with one button push
- Engine RPM can be remotely controlled to increase or decrease pump volume
- Emergency Stop feature closes all tank valves and stops truck engine
- Available with 5-minute deadman timer emergency shut-down feature if user feedback is not provided
With the RFID & barcode scanning option, prevent unintended tank filling with Customer Tank Interlock.
When enabled, scanned RFID tags or barcodes on the tanks will verify with your backoffice to ensure filling can only occur when authorized for that ID.
The right product. The right customer. The right volume.
RFID or barcode labels are passive and require no battery or power connection.
The “ID” signal is read by the BASE remote control handheld and transmitted up to 200m back to your truck's mounted controller.
