Communications
Communications Ports
The TopKAT contains three asynchronous ports:
• Port 1 is used for communications to the 9800, mechanical PCU, and satellites via RS-485
lines.
• Ports 2 and 3 can be set for either RS-232 or RS-422 communications to a data terminal or
computer. If used with the 9800, wiring restrictions dictate that only one of these two ports
can be used for terminal/computer communication, unless Port 3 is connected to an
internal modem. The 9820 ASTRA and the mechanical PCU option have no wiring
restrictions.
MDE-4340/MDE-4341 Series 9800 Q/A Installation/Operation Manual, MDE-4319 TopKAT
Installation Manual, MDE-4331 Atlas
Enhanced Communications Installation Manual contain detailed communication requirements
for port wiring and exceptions. Communication is through direct wire, by dial-up phone lines
using an optional internal modem, by serial-to-LAN connection, or wireless communications.
Communications Protocol
Devices that communicate with the TopKAT must be able to transmit and receive full duplex,
ASCII asynchronous data via an EIA RS-232 connection.
The TopKAT supports both a simple and a structured computer protocol. With the simple
terminal protocol, no special characters are transmitted to designate the beginning or end of
data blocks. Data is transmitted in serial bit format per character as follows: one start bit, eight
data bits, one stop bit. Each character is echoed back to the transmitting device. This checks
the integrity and enables the CRT operators to display transmitted data.
The structured computer protocol is covered in a separate manual, C35965 TopKAT Host
Communications Manual.

Fuel Systems Installation Manual, and MDE-4520
Page 12 MDE-4338A TopKAT™ Fuel Management System Operation Manual · February 2009
CommunicationsSystem Overview
Initiating Communications
You can communicate with the TopKAT by one of the following methods:
• Via the LCD menu system using SW1-1 Manager Mode switch
• Via the LCD menu system using the Manager’s key
• Via terminal commands using a data terminal or PC
During initial power-up, you must use the Manager Mode switch which is located on the CPU
Board. Setting DIP switch (SW1-1) to the Open position places the system in Manager mode
and activates the LCD Menu System. The system displays COMMAND: SETUP.
You can access the LCD menu system using the Manager key any time after the System ID,
Password, and Vehicle Record for the Manager Key are entered into the Database.
You can access the TopKAT command mode via a data terminal or PC for the first time by
setting the Manager Mode switch (SW1-1) to OPEN and entering terminal commands (no
password is required). Later, when the switch is in its normally closed position, you can access
the commands by entering the correct password at the SIGN ON: prompt then entering
terminal commands. This ensures system security.
Operating Modes
There are two modes of operation, direct printout mode and command mode. In direct printout
mode, the TopKAT displays transactions and system events on the data terminal (or logger) as
they occur.
Note: The Configure Logger command (CO LOG) must be set to enabled for this to occur.
In command mode, you enter terminal commands to input data, change data, or print reports
on the system. When you are in command mode, transactions do not print as they occur,
instead they are stored in memory and printed when the system returns to direct printout mode.
Note: When you sign on in command mode, the system automatically signs off after 5 minutes
of keyboard inactivity and returns the system to direct printout mode.
9800 Switch Settings
The table below contains the proper switch /jumper settings for the 9800 CPU PCB for

JP3 and JP4 set the delay time used by leak detectors in submersible pump applications. The
delay time is the period between activation of the submersible pump and activation of the slow
flow valve. Set this time according to the type of leak detector installed on the submersible
pump to allow a normal leak test for each transaction. The delay time should be set to 0
seconds for suction pumps.
JP7 should be open for normal operation. When closed, this switch enables the reset of
electronic totalizers.
JP8 is available only with 9800 software, version 5.3 or higher. Switch 1-8 is set to Closed to
disable RS485 pump stop detection. This is necessary because the TopKAT operates in a halfduplex configuration and it is possible for the 98xx to detect a false break character when the
half duplex lines switch from receive mode to transmit mode and vice-versa. These random
false break characters will cause the 98xx to terminate the transaction.

Master/Satellite (T/Net) OptionSystem Overview
Master/Satellite (T/Net) Option
The master/satellite option (also called the T/Net option), allows you to network up to 8
TopKAT units together to control a maximum of 16 hoses (electronic and mechanical
combination). If all your pumps are 9800 electronic pumps or you have mechanical PCUs, up
to 8 hoses may be controlled. One TopKAT functions as the master unit, the remaining units
function as satellites. A single database resides at the master consisting of system data, vehicle
file data, manual entry file data, transaction, pump, and tank data.
The master TopKAT provides the satellite with the vehicle and (if configured) the manual
entry records required to authorize a transaction. If your configuration is all 9800 electronics
or uses mechanical PCUs, the TopKAT master controls all pumps. If you are using a
combination of 9800 electronic and mechanical pumps, the master controls the electronic
pump (one PCU, single or twin pump) and the satellite controls its local mechanical pump(s)
and returns completed transaction data to the master upon completion of a sale. The master
TopKAT then updates its database with transaction information.
The TopKAT with the master/satellite option is set up and configured slightly differently from
a standalone TopKAT. The differences are as follows:
• Load Mode (refer to “Setup Menu” on page 30)
This new prompt is present in all TopKAT units. When your TopKAT is a standalone
unit, this prompt is set to standalone. When using the master/satellite option, the master
unit is designated as Master. This prompt must be set to Satellite at each satellite unit.
• Poll Address (refer to “Setup Menu” on page 30)
Functions the same as for standalone TopKAT units; however the master must be set as 01
and the satellites must be set as 01 through 07.
• Password (refer to “Setup Menu” on page 30)
Can be loaded at master and at satellites.
• Config Trans File (refer to “Transaction File Setup - Keypad” on page 55)
All functions available at master unit; only Clear Trans in Progress, available at satellite
unit.
• Satellites controlling mechanical pumps are recognized as individual Pump Control Units
(PCUs) and are configured at the TopKAT master, using the PCU SETUP keypad
sequence (refer to
CONFIGURE SYSTEM and CONFIGURE PCUS terminal commands (refer to
“Terminal Commands” on page 87).
• Diagnostics are available at the keypad of both the master and satellite units; however, the
system must be stopped or the satellite must be offline. Enhanced diagnostics from the
terminal are effective only for the master unit.
• Certain options, such as PCMCIA backup and restore and report printing are available
only at the master unit.

System OverviewMechanical Interface Option
Mechanical Interface Option
The mechanical interface option (Mechanical I/F) allows the TopKAT to control and monitor
up to two mechanical pumps. TopKATs equipped with the mechanical interface can also be
used as part of a master/satellite configuration. Use of this interface results in additional
hardware (Pump Control PCB and solid-state relays) and additional software parameters.
Hardware
The Pump Control PCB is mounted on the inside rear of the chassis; solid state relays which
control power to the pump are located within the chassis. The Pump Control PCB controls all
mechanical pumps by driving the relays which control the pump power, monitors status of the
pump handle to turn relays off, monitors incoming pulses to count quantity, and contains
status LEDs and manual override switches for each hose outlet. Wiring connections and
switch settings for the Pump Control PCB are discussed in more detail in the Installation
Manual.
Software
When a mechanical interface-equipped TopKAT is used as part of a master/satellite
configuration, the TopKAT is configured using PCU assignments (refer to
File” on page 52). When used in standalone mode (one TopKAT controlling two mechanical
hoses), two parameters in the Pump File are used with the mechanical interface option: pump
switch timer and pulse rate. The parameters are loaded via the keypad under LOAD PUMP
TABLE in the Pump file or via the terminal using the L PU (LOAD PUMP) command.
“About the PCU
Pump Switch Timer Parameter
The pump switch timer parameter prevents new fueling transactions at a pump when the
handle has been left on from a previous transaction. In this case, when a new transaction is
initiated, the pump cannot reset and, if pumping is allowed, the quantity shown at the pump
includes the previous transaction quantity.
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.

Mechanical PCU OptionSystem Overview
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).
Mechanical PCU Option
The Mechanical Pump Control Unit (Mechanical PCU) option for the TopKAT allows the unit
to control fueling and gather information from up to eight mechanical hose outlets (four per
PCU, with a maximum of two PCUs). The TopKAT with Mechanical PCU is mounted on top
of a pedestal. All PCUs can be mounted within the pedestal or wall-mounted. All pump/
dispenser wiring connections are made within the TopKAT pedestal, when using internal
PCUs or within the wall-mounted PCUs. The TopKAT with the Mechanical PCU option can
also be used in a master/satellite configuration. Use of this interface results in additional
hardware and software parameters.
Hardware
Software
Each mechanical PCU includes two solid-state relays and one manual override switch per hose
outlet which control power to the fuel dispensing equipment. The TopKAT can handle
quantity pulsing rates as listed below in the Pulse Rate Parameter section. Wiring connections
and switch settings for the Pump Control PCB are discussed in more detail in the Installation
Manual.
When used with the Mechanical PCU option in standalone mode or master/satellite (one
TopKAT controlling up to eight hoses on two mechanical PCUs), two parameters in the Pump
File are used: pump switch timer and pulse rate. The parameters are loaded via the keypad
under LOAD PUMP TABLE in the Pump file or through the terminal using the L PU (LOAD
PUMP) command.
Pump Switch Timer Parameter
The pump switch timer parameter prevents new fueling transactions at a pump when the
handle has been left on from a previous transaction. In this case, when a new transaction is
initiated, the pump cannot reset and, if pumping is allowed, the quantity shown at the pump
includes the previous transaction quantity.

Typical Fueling Sequence - Standalone or Master/Satellite
A typical fueling using a TopKAT vehicle key is accomplished as follows.
1 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).
2 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.
3 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
and fueling is denied.
4 If your key requires an odometer entry, proceed to step 5. If your key requires a Manual Entry
only, skip to step 6. If your key requires a PIN entry only, skip to step 7. If your key requires
neither, skip to step 8.
