FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
BASIC WARRANTY
Resolution No. 2008—RO227
The basic FUELMASTERO Warranty for each Fuel Management Unit (FMU)
provides coverage for parts and telephonic labor for a period of one year from
date of start-up or fifteen months from date of shipment, whichever occurs first.
Each PROKEEO is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a
period of five years. A toll -free number for technical assistance is also included.
This line affords the customer access to Product Support personnel who will
answer questions regarding operation of FUELMASTERO hardware or software,
and provide diagnostic capabilities when necessary.
Under terms of this agreement, FUELMASTERO technicians will telephonically
diagnose problems, with the assistance of the customer, to determine
warrantable conditions, and possible problem solutions. Syn-Tech will replace
all defective parts and provide assistance to the customer in installation of
replacement parts to allow the unit to be repaired as expeditiously as possible.
Please note that the FUELMASTERO was designed in a modular manner to
provide easy and rapid exchange of parts, even by non -technical personnel.
Otherfuel management systems are not designed this way and consequently, do
not offer warranties comparable to FUELMASTERO. This warranty does not cover
site visits by FUELMASTERO technicians for repair.
Please note that damage resulting from acts of God, user abuse, accidents, faulty
installation or operation is not covered under the warranty. This warranty
specifically excludes any indirect, special, or consequential damages to include,
but not limited to, loss of product, profit, or litigation fees. Additionally,
associated equipment including valves, pulsers, printers, personal computers,
pumps, oilers, dispensers, and other items not manufactured by Syn-Tech, are
warranted only to the extent covered by the original manufacturer. Additionally,
warranty is limited to approved locations (generally the continental United
States) and is not transferable except by written permission of Syn-Tech Systems,
Inc.

EXHIBIT "B"
FuelMaster 3500 consists of equipment designed to automate control and accountability of fuel
or any metered liquid or gas product. FUELMASTER 3500 ensures YOUR fuel goes into
YOUR vehicles. FUELMASTER 3500 generates up to 500 different reports and can be
customized for your needs. FUELMASTER 3500 with AIM2 has OBDII (On -Board
Diagnostics) interface for real-time maintenance and odometer acquisition.
Your FUELMASTER 3500 base system contains all equipment necessary to accomplish
control and accountability consisting of a Fuel Management Unit, Fuel Management
Windows Software for your designated PC (this will be the Central Controller which dials up
the FMU via voice grade analog telephone line or network cable to download transactions and
upload access lists), Tank Monitor Interface, PROKEE Encoder, PROKEES, and AIM2
access devices,, Software and Equipment Training, Warranty and Operation Manuals.
Fuel Management Unit or FMU
The FMU controls access to fuel dispensers and collects information on each
transaction. A master FMU contains a modem for communications with the Central
Controller and controls all connected Satellite FMU's. Both Master and Satellite
FMU's are identical in appearance and manner of operation; however the Satellite
depends on the Master for information and it's transactions are downloaded through
the Master FMU's modem. A Master can control up to a maximum of eight satellites.
FMU's may be fixed or mobile.
Fixed FMU's are permanently mounted on or near the fuel island and come
standard with two hose controllers although up to a total of eight may be added.
Mobile FMU's are mounted on fuel dispensing tanker trucks and operate with
the same displays and keypads as the fixed but are powered by the vehicle's
12 VDC battery. The mobile unit can be dialed up from the central controller
for downloading. Mobile FMU's are standard with one hose controller but can
control up to four hoses.
• Fuel Management Software
FUELMASTER Windows Software is loaded onto your designated PC. It is used to
download transactions from, and upload information to FMU's; provide reports using
Crystal Reports; export data to fleet maintenance programs and encode and update
PROKEES.
Verifiable Miscellaneous Number or VMN operating program utilizes Vehicle
Keys and accepts the keypad entry of only those ID numbers loaded into the
FMU.
Central Controller (your designated computer holding FUELMASTER database)
communicates with the FMU to download transaction data, upload authorizations,
or to change FMU configurations. Any IBM or IBM compatible personal
computer (PC) having a minimum 133MHz Pentium Processor (Pentium III preferred)
or equivalent, 16Mb of RAM, 30Mb free hard drive space, 2x CD-ROM, 2400 baud
analog modem (must be 100% Hayes -compatible), with 800x600 monitor screen
resolution.
• PROKEE Encoder connects to the Central Controller (your pc) via USB.
• Tank Monitor Interface is a serial connection between the FMU and tank monitor
allowing the FUELMASTER software to query the tank monitor and bring
inventory reconciliation and leak detection back to the Central Controller (your PC).
• Access Devices
FUELMASTER PROKEES (also referred to as a Key) are access devices
provided to initiate a transaction at the FMU (fixed or mobile). All PROKEES
are constructed alike with an eight pin read/write memory chip housed in a
durable composite holder. PROKEES attain their identity as a Vehicle Key,
User Key, Supervisor Key, Manual Issue Key, or Lube Truck Key as they are
encoded with the software and encoder. PROKEES are available in five different
colors for various management control.
Vehicle Keys are encoded with a vehicle identification number and are
Assigned to a vehicle. These keys can keep the vehicle's last odometer
reading and the range in which the next reading should be. The type of fuel
and quantity limit for the vehicle ensures only the correct product(s) can be
dispensed into that vehicle.
• User Keys are encoded with a user identification number and are assigned
to a user.
• Supervisor Keys are authorized special access to reconfigure the FMU, run
built-in tests of the FMU, issue fuel to operators without a PROKEE or other
access device.
• Manual Issue Keys are used to issue fuel to individuals or vehicles that do
not have a PROKEE or other access device.
• Tanker Truck Keys are used to fill the storage tank of a mobile fueling truck
At a dispenser connected to an FMU.
AIM2 (Automotive Information Module) is FUELMASTERS access device that
takes the driver out of the fueling process. AIM2 is installed on a vehicle and
programmed with information about the vehicle. Information on the vehicle is
transmitted via radio frequency from the AIM to the FMU. An RF/ID tag on the
fuel nozzle communicates with the AIM2 device mounted in the vehicle after the
driver inserts the nozzle. The AIM2 transmits RF/ID tag data, vehicle data and
OBD II (On Board Detection) data to the FMU. The FMU evaluates this data
turns on the fuel dispenser and records the transaction generating various reports.
The FMU ends the transaction immediately when the pre -authorized quantity of
fuel is dispensed or the nozzle is removed.
• Training
• Employees requiring training include administrative personnel, fleet
management, network administrators and those employees that utilize
FUELMASTER software or maintain the system. Operation manuals will
be provided.
• Web Hosted User Training will be provided and scheduled by
FUELMASTER before install. This training includes set up,
administrating the data base and preparing fuel site(s) users and vehicles
• FUELMASTER Online Training is after the install. This covers reports and
full utilization of the FUELMASTER software.
• ONSITE AIM2 Training will be provided and scheduled by a
FUELMASTER factory technician after the installation of the FMU (s). This
training includes installation, programming and system maintenance.
• ONSITE installation and training for Mobile Trucks will be provided and
Scheduled by a FUELMASTER factory technician.
• WARRANTY
• Basic FUELMASTER Warranty for each Fuel Management Unit (FMU)
Provides coverage for parts and telephonic labor for a period of one year
from date of start-up or fifteen months from date of shipment, whichever
occurs first. Each PROKEE is warranted against defects in material and
and workmanship for a period of five years. A toll -free number for technical
assistance is also included. This line affords the customer access to
Product Support personnel who will answer questions regarding operation of
FUELMASTER hardware or software, and provide diagnostic capabilities
when necessary.
