Field Descriptions Encoding Keys
ID Fields
ID Fields are numeric or alphanumeric fields, configurable at order time. Each field can be
between 1-20 characters with the total of all fields not exceeding 20 characters (19 characters,
numeric only, for CFN). The number of separate fields cannot exceed eight. When you are
using dual keys, each ID field is usually encoded on only one of the two keys. Field separators
take the place of the corresponding ID field on the other key. If an ID field appears on both
keys, the ID field data must be the same on both keys. In dual key applications, when VEH is
used as an ID field, it must be encoded on the vehicle key (key type 2).
Supervisor Keys
If you have the supervisor key option, the system operator can use a specially encoded
supervisor key to manually enter key information at the FleetKey keypad. Supervisor keys are
typically used when a key has been lost. The supervisor can enter data in any of the ID fields.
Supervisor fields can be encoded onto key types 1, 2 or 3, and consist of special characters
(asterisks *) to designate the supervisor fields. Keys to be used with the Maintenance option
cannot contain supervisor characters in the VEH field.
For example, assume that your system has the following ID fields and you want the supervisor
to enter a 4-digit “EMP” and 3-digit “DEPT”. You must encode the fields as shown on the
partial key layout below:
Expiration Date
The Expiration Date is a 4-digit numeric field (YYMM) assigned to establish a lifetime for the
key. Different expiration dates can be encoded on each key of a dual-key system. This allows
you to establish separate expiration dates for employees and vehicles. If you wish to encode
the keys with a date in the distant future, you can code 5012 for December 2050. You must
encode a valid year (00-99) and a valid month (01-12) on the key.
Product Limit
The Product Limit is a one digit numeric field used to restrict the maximum quantity of
product dispensed per transaction. When you are using dual keys, the product limitation code
is encoded on the vehicle key. A field separator takes the place of the digit on the other dual
key.
Product limitation is provided mainly as a safeguard to minimize accidental spillage. You can
load up to ten (0-9) limitation codes into the system with quantities up to 99999. The vehicle
key is generally assigned a limitation code with the nearest quantity greater than the vehicle's
tank size. If the user dispenses fuel to the quantity limit of his key, the transaction
automatically terminates. If the user wants additional product, he can initiate another
transaction and dispense additional product up to the cutoff limit.
