Compact Oilwatch System
Flexibility
Compact Oilwatch makes oil monitoring feasible and affordable without the need for large investments.
Control
Compact Oilwatch has a single control unit which can monitor up to eight different outlets. The user can dispense simultaneously from any one of the outlets regardless if the product to be monitored. Other fluids including antifreeze and brake fluids can operate on this system. A large digital display (optional) can be installed to show the volume dispensed. Waste liquids can be theoretically calculated in up to eight tanks to give early warning that the waste oil tanks need emptying. The Compact system displays both new and waste tanks stock readings on screen. The system can be fitted with a printer to expand it’s reporting capability to printed hard copies, including prompt details, Date and Time, Oil grade, Reel No’s, Job No’s, Name of operator, Quantity, Sales value.
Ease Of Use
For the operator the Compact Oilwatch is easy to use without the need for extensive training or manuals. To activate dispensing, all the operator has to be is tap in the entry information on a simple question and answer basis. The
operator is prompted at each stage before oil can be delivered. This ensures each quick system usage and trouble free operation. Operators can be allowed access to a specific outlet only, should this be required.

System Security
A secure smart tag can be added to the keypads to replace pin numbers. The tag reader is used like a lock and key and offers physical hardware access if required.
Barcode Dispensing
Barcode reading is also available on the Compact Oilwatch. On this system the manager inputs the barcode into the software prior to use. Each barcode tells the software which outlet to use and what volume to dispense.

PC Oilwatch System
Flexibility
The system can operate up to 25,000 Control Keypad entry devies. A single Control Keypad can monitor up to 8 different outlets dispensing simultaneously from any one of the outlets regardless of product, ensuring expandability to even the largest of sites. PC Oilwatch has an easy to operate software interface offering outlet dispensing activated directly from the PC software. The workshop Control Keypads have large buttons and display which offers easy to follow and fast data input. New input keypads allow multiple locations to input data.
How PC Oilwatch Works?
PC Oilwatch operates with pulse meters and solenoid valves fitted into the fluid delivery lines which control and monitor the fluid dispensing.

The volume dispensed is measured by the control keypad from a digital signal returned by the meter. PC Oilwatch can shut down a dispense once the required volume is reached. The system time-out reduces the possibility of pilfering from an active dispense as the system will shut the dispense down after the time out period. This dispense information is conveyed to the PC software for correlation via an uninterruptable network link. PC Oilwatch monitors tank levels by removing the dispensed volume from the contents of the tank. PC Oilwatch network cabling ensures that transaction stability and valuable data is immune to interference during operation, even if the site layout and equipment changes. PC Oilwatch software supports downloadable updates.
Ease Of Use
The PC Oilwatch has built-in dispense security using a four digit pin number. A secure smart tag or swipe card reader can be added to the keypads to replace pin numbers. The tag or card is used with its reader like a lock and key to offer physical hardware access should users require them. Pin numbers can also be assigned to individual keypad access for enhanced security. PC Oilwatch has up to four optional prompt requesters available. These are normally set to request job numbers or license plate input by the technicians directly through the alpha numeric keypad. The control keypad can be fitted with a barcode reader to enable prompted data to be read into the system as an alternative to direct operator input.
