HOSE 5P0764 - Caterpillar

The Cat® machine security system (MSS) discourages unwanted operation of a machine. The MSS uses the new Cat® electronic key. The Cat® electronic key contains an electronic chip. The electronic chip has a unique identification number (ID). An exciter coil is mounted around the key start switch. The exciter coil reads the ID of the key.The electronic control module (ECM) of the MSS is set up with the ID of the keys of the intended users. When the MSS is armed, the ECM validates the ID of the key in the keyswitch. If that ID is in the list of authorized keys in the ECM and the key is valid, the machine will operate normally. If that ID is not in the list of authorized keys or the key is not valid, the MSS will keep the machine functions disabled.ComponentsThe MSS consists of the following components:
ECM
Cat® electronic key
Exciter coil
Status indicator

Machine security system (MSS)The ECM for the machine security system is a hardened computer that is designed specifically for the MSS.The Cat® electronic key for the MSS contains an electronic chip that is embedded in the head of the key. This chip in the head of the key contains a unique identification number. The Cat® electronic key uses the same key cut as the standard Cat® key. The electronic key can be used to operate any machine that uses the current Cat® keyswitch. The Cat® electronic key comes in a gray color or a yellow color. Cat® electronic keys are not configurable. The exciter coil of the MSS is a ring shaped device. The exciter coil is mounted around the existing Cat® keyswitch. The exciter coil is used to read the ID that is contained in the Cat® electronic key.Note: Ensure that you have only one electronic key near the exciter coil when the MSS reads the key. If more than one electronic key is near the exciter coil, the MSS ECM will not read the key and the machine will not start.The status indicator for the MSS is mounted in the dash of the machine near the keyswitch. The status indicator will give basic information about the MSS to the operator of the machine. The status indicator has two colors: red and green.
