Available Channel Modes

E-STOP (ACTIVE HIGH)

The channel is initially set low (turned off) and when the button is pressed, the channel is set high (turned on) and all other channels are turned off. This channel remains active and other channels inactive until receiver is manually reset.

E-STOP (ACTIVE LOW)

The channel is initially set high (turned on) and when the button is pressed, the channel is set low (turned off) and all other channels are turned off. This channel remains inactive and other channels inactive until receiver is manually reset.

QUERY

This channel option is required on LPG delivery vehicles in some countries and is available on all ASKW systems. This feature requires that the operator periodically press a ‘QUERY’ button on the remote control to keep the pumping system active. If the operator fails to press the query button within a factory-specified time, an audible warning is first sounded followed by activation of the truck’s Emergency Stop system. To reset the timer, the operator must press the ‘QUERY’ button during the delivery or audible warning period.

SAFELINK OPERATION (Optional)

During SafeLink operation, the handheld will communicate continuously with the receiver. If the handheld goes out of range or the signal is lost for any reason, the equipment will shut down. If the operator experiences a shut down triggered by SafeLink, he can resume operation by moving back within range and pressing “ON” button again. The system will return to normal operation. This safety feature prevents the operator from losing contact with the receiver and being unable to activate E-Stop.

Multi-Function ASKW

Our popular LPG and Refined Fuels remote control systems result from over 20 years of experience designing pumping system and tank safety equipment.

Our ASKW system offers unrestricted hose-end control, significantly increasing productivity and improving safety over conventional truck mounted manual controls. These remote controls provide technology developed explicitly for fuel delivery truck applications in a rugged, compact package.

The ASKW system is available with one to eight control buttons. Over the past 20 years, the system has demonstrated outstanding performance and reliability.

The cast aluminium handheld transmitter is weatherproof and highly durable. Up to eight transmitter buttons are custom-labelled in any language. Transmitters will continuously operate for up to 300 hours and have built-in low-battery warning LEDs.

Compact polycarbonate receiver units are easily installed using a pre-wired electrical harness (supplied)
External antenna/coax provides up to 1000 ft (300m) operating range in optimal conditions
A small external ‘learn’ button allows for easy transmitter (remote) replacement. Systems are factory-paired with unique codes, ensuring the receiver will only work with its paired transmitter
Internal diagnostic LEDs monitor battery levels, signal connection, and wiring faults for easy troubleshooting

Available Operations

EMERGENCY STOP

Closes all tank valves and kills the truck engine and pump. BASE’s ‘safety latched’ signal causes the tank valve and pump to remain inoperative until a manual system reset is performed. This system meets international regulatory requirements and is available for all types of pneumatic, cable-operated or “Flomatic” tank valves, and all truck engines.

QUERY

Required on LPG delivery vehicles in some countries and is available on all ASKW systems. This feature requires that the operator periodically press a ‘QUERY’ button on the remote control to keep the pumping system active. If the operator fails to press the QUERY button within a factory-specified time, an audible warning is first sounded, followed by activation of the truck’s Emergency Stop system. To reset the timer, the operator must press the ‘QUERY’ button during the delivery or audible warning period.

PTO

The PTO or PUMP option extends pump life and increases safety by allowing the operator to engage and disengage the PTO and PUMP from hose end at the customer’s storage tank. The truck PTO shaft is not turning, the pump is not running in bypass, and the hose is not charged unless connected to the customers tank. PTO connection can be electric, pneumatic, “hot shift”, or “clutch shift”. The remote PTO DELAY option automatically opens tank internal valve 5 seconds before engaging PTO, allowing pump and product lines to equalize pressure. This feature prevents an excess flow ‘slug’ situation which starves the pump of product and may lead to pump failure.

THROTTLE

Engine RPM or THROTTLE option allows the operator to increase/decrease truck engine RPM and corresponding pump volume from the hose end at customer’s storage tank. The operator can begin the delivery process, ensure product is flowing safely, and can then increase pump speed until thew tank is nearly full. Connections are available for any electronic or mechanical engine control system.

HOSE REEL

HOSE REEL(s) option allows remote unwind and/or Rewind control, greatly reducing the effort required to pull the hose off the reel or replace it at the end of the delivery. Potential injury is reduced, and productivity is increased through easier hose handling. This option includes an easy-to-install pre-wired hose reel motor solenoid and a 70-amp breaker. System design prevents Unwind and Rewind circuits from being energized at the same time.

ENABLE

Enable option can be specified to create a ‘two-step’ process for activating certain buttons to prevent unintended button operation.

ASKW systems are available for all makes of trucks, tanks, and chassis-mounted pumping systems.

Quick-connect remote wire harness can be factory ordered and preinstalled as an option from most major truck manufacturers.

12/24V DC, RS232, and J1939 CANbus chassis interface connections are also available. All systems use state of the art encryption technology to ensure interference-free, fail-safe signal.

BASE Engineering designs and manufactures its own proprietary radio modules to ensure quality control and optimize performance.

Systems are FCC and CE approved. ATEX/IECEX handheld remote models are available for use in hazardous locations. Systems comply with USA DOT 49CFR, Canadian CSA B620, and International standards for “off truck” remote controls or up-fit new chassis and tanks. Modular components allow for easy installation and field replacement. Air solenoids are extremely rugged and can be mounted to chassis, allowing hose-end PTO, tank valve, and cargo pump interlock.
