Configure Maintenance Transactions (1000 FleetKey only)

“CONFIGURE MAINTENANCE TRANSACTIONS” is a menu item that provides access to
three submenus that allow you to reset the maintenance transaction pointer, reset the
transaction file, and load the starting transaction number for maintenance transactions.

Maintenance transactions are stored in the KE200 in circular memory storage. The system
keeps track of these transactions by a beginning (FIRST) and ending (LAST) pointer system.
The FIRST pointer is set with the “Reset Transaction Number” procedure. The LAST pointer
advances as transactions are stored. The KE200 stores 980 maintenance transactions. You can
print these transactions via the RS-232 port, or you can print only specific ones by moving the
FIRST pointer using the “Reset Transaction Pointer” procedure. Ensure that you replace the
pointer to its original location after printing the desired transactions. If you leave the pointer
ahead of transactions not yet printed, transactions may be overwritten and lost.

When the entire maintenance transaction file has been filled, a “MEMORY FULL” condition
exists. The KE200 will not accept new maintenance transactions until space has been freed up.
To free transaction space, first, print or poll the existing maintenance transactions. Then,
advance the FIRST transaction pointer using the reset transaction pointer procedure. This will
free space below the first pointer allowing new transactions to overwrite the old ones.

To configure Maintenance Transactions, proceed as follows:

1

Enter Setup Mode as described previously. The system displays the following:

SETUP MENU:
LOAD

DATE

2

Press F1 or F2 until the following appears:

SETUP MENU:

CONFIG MAINT TRANS

Reset Transaction Pointer

Use “RESET TRANS POINTER” to reset the starting point for printing maintenance
transactions via an RS-232 port. For example, if you have 50 transactions in the maintenance
transaction file (your ending pointer is at 50) and you want to print only the last 10
transactions, you will have to move your FIRST pointer to 40.

Note: Ensure that you return your pointer to its starting location to avoid losing transactions.
