Driver Authorization Systems

BASE Engineering's Driver Authorization System is designed specifically for bulk transport equipment. The system prevents unauthorized vehicle drive-away while pumping or idling. Attempting to move the vehicle without entering the correct authorization code stalls the engine. Correct code entry disarms the system. The system operates in the following modes:

Armed Mode: Red Indicator On
When the truck parking brake is set, the unit automatically enters the armed state and the red indicator will be on. When in the armed state, releasing the parking brake without first keying in an authorization code will result in the engine being shut off immediately. The red indicator on the unit will then begin to flash.

Disarmed Mode: Green Indicator On
Entering a valid ID code when the unit is armed, (see above) will place the system into the disarmed state. Releasing the parking brake while in the disarmed state will allow the truck to be driven away. When the disarmed mode is activated, the red indicator will be off and the green indicator will be on.

Program Mode: Green Indicator Flashing
Entering the master programming code will allow the user to set a new authorization code for the driver. Once the programming code has been entered the green indicator will begin to flash. While the green indicator is flashing, the unit will accept a new code.

Lock-Out Mode: Red & Green Indicators Flash
If an incorrect ID code is entered more than 5 times, the unit will enter a lock-out mode where it will shut down the engine and not accept any authorization codes for 5 minutes. Once the lock-out time has elapsed, the unit will accept ID codes again. The red and green indicators flash back and forth alternately during the lock-out period. Entering a valid ID code after a lock-out has taken place will re-connect the ignition and place the unit in a disarmed state if the brakes are off, and an armed state if the brakes are on.

NOTE: The unit will not accept ID codes when it already is in the disarmed state. This prevents the possibility of pressing the buttons during driving and causing the engine to be accidentally shut off if the unit enters the lock-out mode as described above.
