RS-232 TERMINATION BOX
Description A RS-232 termination box (P/N C05769) is available to simplify the connection of
RS-232 devices to the Series 1000 System. The box includes a termination block
for connecting the RS-232 communication cable from the system, and a female D
connector port for plugging in the male D connector on the end of the GASBOY
C04549 or C04532 Cable Assemblies. Use of the termination box eliminates the
tedious job of soldering D connectors in the field.
MCE 300 AND MCE 300HE MAG CARD ENCODERS
Use GASBOY MCE 300 (P/N C05911) and MCE 300HE (P/N C06187) mag stripe
card encoders are used with data terminals and allow the user to encode his own
mag stripe cards for use with a Series 1000 System equipped with a mag card
reader. The encoder and data terminal may also be used to display what has
been encoded on a card. A PC package (PC-MCE 300) is also available to
provide an interface between the PC and the mag card encoder.
The MCE 300 is a standard low-coercivity encoder and uses standard low-
coercivity cards. The MCE 300HE is a high coercivity encoder and requires high
coercivity cards. Higher coercivity provides additional resistance to accidental
erasure of encoded data.
OPTICAL CARD PUNCHES
Description The optical card punch allows the user to encode (punch) his own optical cards
for use with a Series 1000 System equipped with the optional optical card reader.
A manual version (P/N C01091) and electric version (P/N C01157) are available.
The main difference between the two models is that the electric version requires
less pressure on the keys to punch the card.
KE200 KEY ENCODER
Description The KE200 Key Encoder consists of a keypad and LCD display. It has two
functions:
● It allows the user to encode data keys for use with the Series 1000 FleetKey
system
● It is used with the Maintenance option to update information in the
maintenance field entries.
A PC package, PC/FleetKey Manager is also available which allows the system
operator to use the PC to input the key fields and encode each key.
MAG CARD READER CLEANING CARDS
Use GASBOY recommends cleaning mag card readers at least once a week.
Cleaning is accomplished by inserting a mag cleaning card into the reader. The
solvent-soaked cleaning cards are individually wrapped and are available in
boxes of 50 cards. (P/N C08757- 1 box).
