Truck Meter Configuration (LCR.IQ) V8

Introduction

Advantage Route Systems has a BlueTooth interface to the Liquid Controls (LCR) IQ meter. This unit, when equipped with the BlueTooth module can be directly connected to your Route Manager handheld. This will allow you to use your Mango Mobile device to:

  • Enter presets
  • Begin pumping
  • End Pumping
  • Capturing the number of gallons pumped.

This added functionality allows you to save time and have greater accuracy when delivering propane and other liquids.
