Special Start-Up Procedure for RLM II with Wayne/Dresser Dispensers Recent RLM software modifications enable its use with the new line factor values utilized by Wayne/Dresser dispensers. Line factors are necessary for calculating the final volumes for each transaction. The RLM II gathers line factors from the data communications line. If no line factors are detected by the RLM, all sales for that fueling position will be zero.
