GASBOY Series 1000
3-4 03/07/03
End Field Separator (Mag Card Only)
One field separator is encoded after the last ID field to indicate the end of identification data.
Expiration Date (Mag Card Only)
Expiration Date is a four-digit field assigned to establish a lifetime for the card. The first two digits
represent the year and the last two digits represent the month. When using dual cards, the
expiration date may be encoded on one or both of the cards. If the expiration date is encoded on
only one of the cards, field separators take its place on the other dual card. If the expiration date
is encoded on both cards, it must be the same on both cards. If you wish to encode the cards with
a date in the distant future, you can code 1012 for December 2010. Your system can be
configured through the SC command to ignore the expiration date on the card. See the Series
1000 Operation Manual for use of the SC command. In any case, a valid year (00-99) and a valid
month (01-12) must be encoded on the card.
Series 1000 - CFN Card Compatibility.
Your Series 1000 System may not have an Expiration Date field if it was configured to match a
CFN system without an Expiration Date field. See your Card Layout.
Product Limitation Code
The Product Limitation Code is a one-digit field used to restrict the maximum quantity of product
dispensed per transaction. When using dual cards, the product limitation code is usually encoded
on only one of the cards, typically a vehicle card. In mag card systems, a field separator takes the
place of the digit on the other dual card. In optical card systems all of the holes are punched in the
product limitation position on the other dual card. If the product limitation code appears on both
cards, the code must be the same on both cards.
Product limitation is provided mainly as a safeguard to minimize accidental spillage. You can load
into the system up to ten (0-9) limitation codes with quantities up to 99999. The vehicle card 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 card, the transaction automatically terminates.
If the user wants additional product, he can initiate another transaction and dispense additional
product up to the limit cutoff.
Series 1000 - CFN Card Compatibility.
Your Series 1000 may have been configured with a two-digit limitation code to match a CFN
system with a two-digit code. In this case, the Series 1000 will internally convert the two-digit code
to a Series 1000 one-digit code. If the first digit is zero, the product limitation will be determined by
the second digit. If the first digit is not 0, the two digit code will be converted to limitation code 9.
(Examples: 01=1, 04=4, 11=9, 23=9). See your Card Layout.
Complete Table 3-1, Product Limitation Codes prior to ordering or encoding your cards. Make
sure the completed table is available at start-up so it can be loaded into your system at that time.
