Machine Security System (If Equipped)
If equipped with a Caterpillar Machine Security System (MSS), this machine may not start under certain conditions. Read the following information and know your machine's settings. Your Caterpillar dealer can identify your machine settings.
Machine Security System (MSS) - Machines that are equipped with a Cat Machine Security System (MSS) can be identified by a decal in the operator station. MSS is designed to prevent theft of the machine or unauthorized operation.Basic Operation
MSS may be programmed to read a standard Cat key or an electronic key. The electronic key contains an electronic chip within the plastic housing for the key. Each key emits a unique signal to the MSS. The keys can be identified by a gray housing or a yellow housing. MSS can have programmed settings to require an electronic key or a standard Cat key for starting during certain periods of time.When the key start switch of the machine is turned to the ON position, the machine will read the unique key ID and compare it to the list of authorized keys. If the key is not approved to start the machine, either by ID or time period, the MSS icon will show that on the indication display and the machine will not start.Note: The graphical display and indication display must be allowed to fully boot before the MSS icon for unapproved keys will be visible.Note: MSS will not shut down the machine after the machine has started. Security Management
The MSS allows you to program the system to automatically activate at different time periods with different keys. The MSS can also be programmed to reject a specific electronic key after a selected date and time. When you turn the key to the OFF position and the MSS is active, you have 30 seconds in order to restart the machine with an unauthorized key. Also if the machine stalls, there is a 30 second interval for restarting the machine. This 30 second interval is counted from the time of turning the key to the OFF position.Note: Know your machine settings because the use of an electronic key is no guarantee that the machine can be restarted.An expiration date can be set for each electronic key that is contained in the list of keys for the machine. The key will no longer start the machine when the internal clock in the security system passes the expiration date. Each entry in the list of keys can have a different expiration date.Spare keys are available from your dealer. Before a key can operate the machine, the MSS must be set to accept that particular key. Consult your Cat dealer for information on additional features of the MSS.
