Product Authorization Code
The Product Authorization Code is a one-digit field used to specify the type(s) of fuel a card is
allowed to access. When using dual cards, the product authorization code is usually encoded on
only one card (typically the 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 authorization code position on the other dual card. If the product authorization code
appears on both cards, it must be the same on both cards.
You can load into the system, up to nine (1-9) authorization codes with up to nine fuel types per
code. The user is permitted to access only the product type(s) loaded into the system for the
authorization code encoded on his card. The authorization code 0 permits access to all fuels.
Complete Tables 3-2 and 3-3, Product Code Assignments and Product Authorization Codes
before ordering or encoding your cards and before system start-up. First, assign a two-digit
product code to each product controlled by your system. The Series 1000 can maintain
inventories for up to eight products. Typically the product codes are numbered 01 through 08, but
can be any number 01-99. Second, assign the product code(s) to the product authorization codes
as you require. Make sure your completed product code assignments and authorization code
table are available at system start-up, so they can be loaded into your system at that time.
Series 1000 - CFN Card Compatibility.
Your Series 1000 may have been configured with a two-digit product authorization 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 0, the product authorization will be
determined by the second digit. If the first digit is not 0, all fuels will be allowed. Examples: 01=1,
04=4, 11=0 (all fuels), 34=0 (all fuels). See your card layout.
