Hose Module
Attached to the fuel nozzle, the dual antenna Hose Module reads data from a Fuel Tag installed on any asset that consumes fuel. In addition, built-in security features ensure fueling is for only the authorized asset.
The user-friendly operation allows the driver to pull up to the fuel dispenser, remove the nozzle from its cradle, insert it into the vehicle’s filler neck, and press the ON button. Once activated, the Hose Module transmits the asset’s data to the Ward Fuel Control Terminal for authorization via encrypted 2.4 GHz wireless communication.
When the Hose Module is removed from the filler neck, communication with the Fuel Tag is severed and the pump shuts off, terminating the transaction.
