Access to the system is controlled by vehicle code keypad entry (also called keyless entry) or
by special data keys that relate to vehicle file records maintained on the system. There are six
possible key types available:
• Vehicle: Key type 0. Linked to the vehicle that will be fueling and the department to
which it belongs. This is the most common key for accessing fuel.
• Supervisor: Key type 3. Provides access for fueling by a supervisor manually entering a
key number or a vehicle number and department number.
• Manager: Key type 8. Provides access to system configuration and setup functions,
utilities and diagnostics, and reports.
• Report*: Key type 9. Provides access to report printing capabilities, while restricting
access to other manager functions.
• Dipstick*: Key type 5. Allows dipstick readings to be entered at the TopKAT keypad.
• Delivery*: Key type 4. Allows delivery transactions to be entered at the TopKAT keypad.
* Available for use at standalone TopKAT or TopKAT master unit.
