/Smartcard Encoder
The Encoder uses data entered in the Fuel Management
Software to encode, re-encode, or read Prokee
®
and Smartcard
data, and to update Preventive Maintenance or odometer
mileage. The Encoder is available for either USB or parallel
connection to the Central Controller. The parallel connected
Encoder requires a 115 VAC connection for its power supply
where the USB encoder draws its power through the USB
connection. If not otherwise specified, a USB connected encoder
is provided.
Optional Equipment and Taskings
The following optional equipment and taskings (in alphabetic
order) are available for use with FuelMaster
®
, or as a future upgrade:
AIM2™: AIM2™ is a passive system; FMU activation does not require direct user interface.
Under this system, when a fuel nozzle is inserted into an authorized vehicle’s filler neck, the FMU
receives an RF (radio frequency) authorization signal from an AIM (Automotive Information
Module) in the vehicle. The passive FMU then turns on the applicable dispenser hose. The
passive FMUs are distinguished by two antennas attached to the upper cabinet for communication
to the vehicle AIM. A thorough explanation of AIM2™ is covered in the AIM2™ Installation
Manual.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Syn-Tech Systems has provided and installed
FMUs for compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. If you have a
need for an FMU with ADA compliance, speak to your distributor or FuelMaster
®
Regional Sales
Manager.
Automatic Call Processor: an Automatic Call Processor (sometimes also referred to as a
comshare device) may be used to share analog phone lines between several devices when only one
analog phone line is available. The Automatic Call Processor receives an input from one analog phone
line. It has a default output which is usually used with a fax machine. Additional outputs are available
and use switching commands to switch the output from the fax machine output to other ports for an
FMU, tank monitor, or any other device requiring an analog phone line.
Credit Card Access: fixed Master FMUs may be equipped with magnetic stripe credit card
readers which are accessible with most credit and gas cards. An active analog phone line must be
used to acquire credit card authorization for most credit card types (see Local Authorization FMU
Access for other options).
Data Logger: the Data Logger is an accessory circuit board that plugs into one of the mainboard
expansion slots, and captures the print text normally sent to a Transaction Printer. The Data Logger
captures the print text on a socketed SD (Secure Digital) memory card. The SD card provided with
the system has a 1 GB capacity and provides storage for over 900,000 transactions and messages.
Transactions may be downloaded direct to the FuelMaster
®
software, or by reading memory on the
SD card.
