6.1
Enter Fallback Mode (Menu 3.1)
Description of fallback
mode menu
With the PSS 5000, there is an option to operate in Attendant Fallback Mode.
In this mode, the PSS system internally authorizes each pump when a nozzle
is lifted and clears transactions without involving any external POS or OPT
device.
This is similar to putting all the pumps in manual mode except that it’s much
easier for the staff as they don’t need to re-programme each pump – and it’s
safer regarding fraud. A connected Tank Gauge System (e.g. TLS-350) still
gets information about fuel sales during the fallback period – the Web Opera-
tion Status is available, as well as the host interface if that is used.
When the controller is in Fallback Mode, it will calculate 'Fallback Totals',
which tell how much is fuelled on each pump during the fallback period.
When the POS is operational again, it can use the Fallback Total information
to create EOS / EOD reports (regarding both money and westock), which cov-
er the Fallback period without loss of data.
Note:
Only an operational POS is able to switch the PSS 5000 from Fallback
Mode to a normal operational state again.
