The Gasboy Series 900 TopKAT is a microprocessor-based fuel control and data acquisition
system. The TopKAT is totally self-contained in a rugged, well-designed, and attractive
weatherized cabinet. It is mounted on a 9800 pump or dispenser, on top of a 9820 ASTRA
®
pedestal, or on a pedestal. A standalone TopKAT can control up to 8 electronic hoses or two
mechanical hoses. A master/satellite option allows multiple units linked together with one
acting as the master controlling unit. If you have the master/satellite option, you can control
up to 8 electronic hoses and 7 satellite readers or up to 16 mechanical (2 hoses per TopKAT),
or one 9820 or 9800 single or twin electronic and up to 14 mechanical hoses (2 hoses per
TopKAT). A standalone or master/satellite with the mechanical pump control unit (PCU)
option can control up to 8 mechanical hoses (4 hoses per PCU, up to 2 pedestal or wall-
mounted PCUs).
The TopKAT is equipped with a data key receptacle. Visual prompting messages, displayed
on the liquid crystal display (LCD), guide the user through the steps required to activate the
pump/dispenser. The display is backlit so that it can be read at night. A 16-position
membrane keypad is provided on the face of the unit for entering data such as personal
identification number (PIN), odometer reading, pump selection, etc. The unit may also be
equipped with an optional report printer.
The front bezel and rear of the cabinet are hinged doors secured with locks to prohibit
unauthorized access. The front bezel allows access to the optional report printer and paper.
The one-piece hood can be removed for total accessibility during installation and servicing.
When installing, be sure to provide adequate clearance to allow easy access to both front and
rear doors for servicing.
