CARD LAYOUT TO MATCH "A" SYSTEM

The optical card layout to match a GASBOY "A" System does not contain the same fields as the
standard Series 1000 System. The number of digits varies depending upon how the "A" System
was configured.

"A" System optical cards can contain up to 20 digits and are made up of the following:


System ID

System ID is a 1 to 6 digit field which indentifies the user's system and makes the card unique to
that system.


Card Number

The card number is not a required field for "A" System cards. If the card number field does exist, it
can be anywhere on the card and is not limited to 4 digits. Lockout is not restricted to the card
number field as in the standard Series 1000, instead, it can be on any ID field of four or more
digits. The field being used for lockut must be specified at the time of order.

If you are using an "A" System card that does not use card number and the supervisor or delivery
and dipstick option is required, the field that is used for lockout is also used to identify the
supervisor, delivery, or dipstick. Ranges for supervisor, delivery and dipstick cards have the
following digits at the end of the field: supervisor, 30-79; delivery, 80-89; and dipstick 90-99.
These ranges are preceded by nines to the length of the field. For example, the range for a
supervisor card for a 4-digit field would be 9930-9979; for a 5-digit field 99930-99979, etc.


Data fields

Data fields can be used to identify any category of information desired by the user. A Series 1000
can be configured to accept up to four ID fields to match an existing "A" System optical card. A
common configuration contains Employee, Vehicle, and Card number fields of 4 digits each. You
must designate the lockout field for "A" System cards at the time of order.


Product Authorization

Product Authorization is a one- or two-digit field used to specify the type(s) of fuel a card is
allowed to access. It can be located anywhere on the card. The Series 1000 contains up to nine
(1-9) authorization codes with up to nine fuel types per code. The user can access only the
product type(s) loaded into the system for the authorization code encoded on his card.

If your product authorization code is two-digits, the Series 1000 internally converts the two-digit
code to a Series 1000 one-digit code. If the first digit is 0, the product authorization is 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 to determine the length of your authorization
code.

Tables 3-2 and 3-3, Product Code Assignments and Product Authorization Codes provide
templates for you to enter the values used to make up the authorization tables for your Series
