KeyMaster® is an easy-to-use electronic key cabinet. Each key fob is held in place with a locking pin. When a driver enters their Employee ID or Booking ID or scans their RFID card (check with administrator if unsure what format the KeyMaster uses) at the large 7″ touch screen, the door unlocks, and a light comes on to indicate which key they can take.
Employee ID / Booking ID Code / RFID Card
For KeyMaster to work, all Drivers must have either a unique ID code, unique booking ID, or the user’s staff RFID card against their driver profile in PoolCar. As part of the initial setup of KeyMaster, Smartrak can provide a bulk upload of this information into the system. The Employee ID/Booking ID/RFID card is used every time a booking is made and the driver requires access to an asset's key from the KeyMaster.

Key Functions
Adding a New Key
When you received the KeyMaster it will include plastic (white) fobs and black RFID tags/discs. Every key stored inside the unit should have a black RFID tag attached, this is required for returning the keys.
Please note that if you are using your own access cards, then the black RFID tags/disks are not supplied and users will need to touch their access card to the reader.
Ensure you have all the licence plates (regos) for the vehicles you are adding to the KeyMaster
Note: If you need a list of the vehicles, you can generate a list on Poolcar Admin by following these steps:
Click Sysadmin and select Vehicle Register from the drop-down
On the Vehicle Registerpage, click the Export to Excel link on the right-hand side of the page to generate the report.
Add a plastic fob and a black RFID tag to each of your pool vehicle key rings
Tap the Select button for the key you want to move
The Select button chosen will now be greyed out and all other unused buttons will be valid to tap. Tap the unused key slot for the key to be bonded to.
Confirm that the key is to be moved slot. Once confirmed, the system will walk you through the process of moving the key physically:
Firstly, you will need to open the door and remove the key from the highlighted (in green) slot.
Once removed, a different slot will highlight (in green) and insert the key into that slot.
The cabinet will ask you to close the door. The key is now in the new slot.
Temporarily removing a key
In an emergency situation or if there are syncing issues with the KeyMaster, temporarily removing the key from the KeyMaster may be required.

This will show a list of checked-out bookings that shows the vehicle’s rego, the user who booked it, the booking ID, and the booking end date and time.

Exceptions
If your organisation has access card integration, please note the black RFID tags/fobs are not provided. Instead you should swipe your access card on the scanner when accessing and returning a key.
