Hardware Description
The TopKAT is totally self-contained in a rugged, well-designed, and attractive weatherized
cabinet. The front bezel and rear of the cabinet are hinged doors secured with locks to prohibit
unauthorized access. The front bezel allows access to the optional report printer and paper.
When installing, be sure to provide adequate clearance to allow easy access to both front and
rear doors for servicing.
The wiring for all equipment connected to the TopKAT is terminated in the head. A
standalone TopKAT can control up to eight electronic hoses or two mechanical hoses. If you
have the master/satellite option, you can control up to eight electronic hoses and seven satellite
readers or up to 16 mechanical (two hoses per TopKAT), or one 9820 or 9800 single or twin
electronic and up to 14 mechanical hoses (two hoses per TopKAT). A standalone or master/
satellite with the mechanical PCU option can control up to eight mechanical hoses (four hoses
per PCU, up to two PCUs). The system can handle quantity pulsing rates of 1000 pulses per
unit of product.
The unit is equipped with a data key receptacle. Visual prompting messages, displayed on the
two-line Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), guide the user through the steps required to activate
the pump/remote dispenser, as well as configure the system. The display is backlit so that it
can be read at night. A 16-position non-tactile keypad is provided on the face of the unit for
entering data such as Personal Identification Number (PIN), odometer reading, pump
selection, and so on. A beeper indicates when a key is pressed.
Power: AC power for the TopKAT comes from the same power connection used to power the
9800 Micro Feed. No customer connections are required between the 9800 and TopKAT.
Connections to the 9820 are made as detailed in MDE-4319 TopKAT Fuel Management
System Installation Manual.
Operating Environment: The unit has been designed to withstand an environment of -22 ° F to
122 ° F (-30 ° C to 50 ° C), 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Location: The TopKAT is located on the fueling island. Adequate clearance around the head
of the unit is important to provide room for maintenance of the system. A minimum of 14
inches of clearance from the rear of the unit must be provided to allow the rear door to open.
