PLATE 2006565 - Caterpillar

Cat ® Electronic Key
The machine security system (MSS) uses a Cat ® electronic key. The key contains an electronic chip that is embedded in the head of the key. This chip contains a unique identification number. No two keys have the same ID. The electronic key uses the same key cut as the standard Cat ® key. The electronic key can be used to operate machines that are not equipped with the MSS. The head of the electronic key is gray or yellow in color. The machine can be started when none of the valid keys are available. Any Cat ® key and the access code for the MSS is required to enable this function. A system disarm feature will allow a machine to operate with any key. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "System Disarm - Program" for additional information.Security Management using Cat ® Electronic Technician (Cat ® ET)
The machine security system uses the Cat® Electronic Technician (Cat® ET) service tool to manage the settings of the system. There are restrictions on accessing the settings. The security management feature of the MSS controls the access to the settings.
