When the pump switch timer parameter is set, the handle is checked at the beginning of each
transaction. If it is found to be on, the user will see the message TURN OFF PUMP HANDLE
and the transaction will be terminated. A transaction is generated with the message PUMP
SWITCH ERROR. The user must turn off the pump handle and begin a new transaction in
order to fuel.

The pump switch timer parameter sets a time period during which the pump is checked. This
time period must be less than the time that it takes for your pump to reset and transmit a switch
detect signal back to the fuel management system. Nearly all pumps take more than one
second to reset and transmit switch detect, so the values for this option range from .1 to 1
second, in tenths of a second, with .5 being a commonly used value. This value may need to be
adjusted for your pumps. A setting of zero disables this option.

Pulse Rate Parameter

Set the pulse rate parameter with the appropriate pulse rate for your pump. The mechanical
interface supports pulse rates of 1, 10, 100, 500, and 1000 in gallons; 1, 10, 100, and 250 in
liters. If using a 9800 as a mechanical pump, pulsing should be set to 1000:1 for gallons; 250:1
for liters. If using bulk fueling, the pulse rates for gallons will be 1:1, 10:1 and 100:1 for
gallons and those listed above for liters.

Transaction Changes

If you have the mechanical interface option, the transaction quantity decimal places are
truncated to match the pulse rate (that is, 10:1 pulse rate would display xxxxx.x; 100:1 pulse
rate would display xxxxx.xx, and so on).

Typical Fueling Sequence - Standalone or Master/Satellite

A typical fueling using a TopKAT vehicle key is accomplished as follows.

Position your vehicle adjacent to the fuel dispensing equipment. Be sure to note the odometer
reading (if your system requires you to enter the odometer reading).

In its idle state, the TopKAT LCD displays one of the following three messages:

• INSERT KEY
• ENTER VEHICLE CODE
• INSERT KEY OR ENTER VEHICLE CODE

Note: If system is stopped, OUT OF SERVICE displays on master and all satellites.

Insert the vehicle key into the key receptacle and turn it clockwise, or enter vehicle code* (if
not using keys). *Vehicle code is key number.
Note: If your daily limit has been exceeded, the message DAILY LIMIT EXCEEDED displays
