Section 5
Initialization
CAUTION
STOP! Initialization may only be completed by a technician who has completed the Syn-Tech
FuelMaster
®
installation training course. If power is applied by unqualified personnel damage to the
system will be the liability of the installer.
ATTENTION
STOP! Initialisation ne peut être remplie par un technicien qui a terminé le cours de Syn-Tech ®
FuelMaster formation sur l'installation. Si la tension est appliquée par du personnel non qualifié des
dommages au système seront la responsabilité de l'installateur.
Installation is complete, Initialization is performed. Initialization is performed to verify the FMU has
been correctly installed, to train the customer in the use of the equipment and software, and to
prepare the system for day-to-day operation.
Initialization may be performed in conjunction with the Installation, or separately by another person.
When performed by another person, it is generally because the installer was not factory trained and
certified. As such, all post installation tests and inspections, and customer training, are performed by
the person performing the Initialization.
An Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) for Installations and Upgrades of FuelMaster
®
Fuel
Management Units, and a prepaid, preaddressed mailing envelope are attached to the end of this
manual. The ATP is to be completed by the technician completing the Initialization, and signed by a
customer’s representative. The technician should leave the original with the customer, and make a
copy for himself and Syn-Tech Systems, Inc. The Syn-Tech copy should be forwarded in the included
prepaid, preaddressed envelope.
A Hold Harmless Agreement is at the last page of the ATP. The Hold Harmless Agreement is
provided to inform the customer of the dangers of unsecured wireless networks, and to remove
liability from Syn-Tech Systems, Inc., and the individual completing Initialization. Complete the form
only when a wireless network is set up for communications to the FMU.
Software Installation and Setup
The physical act of installation does not fully prepare an FMU for operation. The software must be
installed in the Central Controller, and a database must be created to identify the site, vehicles,
users, customers, products, etc. Prokee
®
s or Smartcards may need to be encoded. The FMU must
be configured to prepare it for operation in the installed environment, and so it may communicate with
the Central Controller.
If Initialization is being performed in conjunction with the Installation, it is recommended the
installation technician assist and train the customer with loading the software and developing the
required user, vehicle, and customer database before beginning the Installation. This will permit the
customer to encode Prokee
®
s or Smartcards, as required, to test the system after the Installation is
complete.
The software has its own user manual. Refer to the FuelMaster
®
Plus User Manual and perform the
following:
1. Software installation (Chapter 2: Installation and Startup).
2. Software and hardware configuration (Chapter 3: System Configuration).
3. Identification of the products in use, and the pricing that applies to those who use the system
(Chapter 4: Products and Pricing).
4. Individual site and FMU configuration, and communication options (Chapter 5: Site
Configuration).
