The Smith Meter AccuLoad IV is the current electronic preset delivery system for custody-transfer loading and unloading of petroleum and chemical liquids at truck, rail and barge racks, bulk plants and docks. It handles straight and blended products (gasoline, biofuels, diesel, lube and fuel oils, LPG, NGL, solvents and chemicals), and controls meters, valves, additive injection and blending from a touch-screen operator interface. Four hardware platforms cover everything from a one-arm bulk plant to an 18-arm automated terminal, and upgrade kits let existing AccuLoad III units move to AccuLoad IV.

How to read the model code
Example: ALIV-QT-XP-ARM2-A00000-1. Read the code left to right; each position selects one option:
Position 1 (Product): ALIV = AccuLoad IV
Position 2 (Hardware model): ST = single touch screen; QT = quad touch screen (N4 and SA use their own codes below)
Position 3 (Housing): XP = explosion-proof; UG3 = upgrade kit for AccuLoad III
Position 4 (Firmware / arms): ARM1-ARM6 = 1-6 arm operation (3-6 arms QT only); ARP1-ARP6 = PEMEX non-resettable volume versions
Position 5 (Analog modules (5 digits, max 6 total)): Digit 1 = RTDs; 2 = 4-20 mA inputs; 3 = 4-20 mA outputs; 4 = 1-5 VDC inputs; 5 = 1-5 VDC outputs. A00000 = none
Position 6 (Hardware option): 0 = none; 1 = one A4I additive I/O board; 2 = two A4I boards (QT only)
N4 model (ALIV N4 code): ALIV N4-(ARM1/ARM2/ARP1/ARP2)-(stop button 0/1)-(lights 0 none, 1 red/green, 3 green/green)-(card reader 0/1)-(hardware option 0)-(analog modules)-(fuse holders 0-10)
SA MMI (ALIV N4-MMI code): ALIV N4-MMI-(stop button)-(lights)-(card reader)-(MMI position 0 = single/A, 1 = B)-(option 0)
SA FCM (ALIV FCM code): ALIV (FCM new / FMU upgrade)-(SA1 to SA18 arms)-(board sets 1-4)-(fuse holders 0-50)-(single/dual MMI 0/1), plus one board-set code per set: ALIV SAA/SAB/SAC/SAD-(firmware)-(analog modules)-(A4I 0/1)
A complete model number is required when ordering; FMS will help configure meters, valves, additive and card-reader interfaces.
