LFC 5000

Versatile and dependable fluid inventory

control and management system

The ability to start a dispense from a

keypad or shop PC.

Hose reels are locked out by solenoids. Each

dispense request opens up a solenoid valve,
activating a green ready light, indicating the
dispense is ready to proceed.

All transactions can be viewed

from the master PC software
at a parts counter or service desk.

LFC 5000 overview
The LFC 5000 is a versatile system that can Service bay
adapt to any location. The LFC 5000 wired computers
system is based on an ethernet network
that allows for easy, fast and 100% reliable
communication which is key when the
control system is interfaced with a dealer
management system. The network connec-
tions are easy; simply plug each keypad and
dispense unit into each other with the Cat 5
ethernet cable.
Every LFC 5000 system is hard wired
from the dispense point to the dispense unit.
This method is the most reliable and secure
form of communication to virtually ensure
the least amount of down time which
deducts from your site’s bottom line.
If a wired network is not possible, wireless
capabilities exist from the dispense unit to
the PC. Lincoln utilizes the 802.11 WiFi
protocol which is a fast and mature protocol
that easily integrates into a site’s existing
wireless network. You can also have a
mixture of wired and wireless dispense
units in the system. Master PC in an office, parts
