SAFETY NOTICE

As an institution, municipality, or private operator, it is important to be aware of the potential

liabilities which may arise in normal parking operations. To ensure the safety of your personnel and your patrons, use the following checklist to make sure that all of the following “safety first” measures are implemented at your site:

❑ Use vibrant colors on parking equipment at entrance lanes and exit lanes.

❑ Use universally identifiable icons, or pictograms, in all entrance and exit lanes, roadways, posts and walls.

❑ Post “No Pedestrian,” “No Wheelchair,” “No Bicycle” and “No Motorcycle” pictograms on the roadway adjacent to the parking barrier gate.

❑ Always provide proper signs, both on the roadway and on other equipment.

❑ Maintain the manufacturer’s warning stickers on gate arms and on other equipment.

❑ Use safety devices such as mirrors, buzzers, and flashing lights, especially if there are sidewalks that cross the path of exit or entrance lanes.

❑ To prevent injury to pedestrians, maintenance personnel, and persons on bicycles or motorcycles, monitor all entrance and exit lanes to ensure barrier gates are not accidentally lowered or raised. Take special care when commanding any equipment from a centralized computer system, especially when the equipment is not in your line of vision.

❑ Institute the following equipment maintenance and inspection policies:

● Ensure that maintenance is performed by the factory, a factory-trained technician, or an authorized distributor at least twice a year. Create a maintenance log to track maintenance history.

● Ensure that the equipment is inspected frequently by a factory-trained technician to ensure that it is operating properly. Create an inspection log to track inspection history.

SHOCK HAZARD—to reduce the risk of severe personal injury or damage to equipment, turn off the power to the equipment before performing any maintenance or repairs. Failure to heed this warning could result in injury or even death of those who come in contact with the product.

Introduction

Automatic Validations Option Overview

The Automatic Validations option (PN 78-0060-3525-3) provides automatic processing of merchant validations through the use of third-party barcode or magnetic stripe media. After the patron’s fee is displayed, the patron or cashier presents the validation coupon to the barcode reader or swipes their magnetic stripe card in the Neuron Swipe Reader. The fee is automatically adjusted based on the programming of the associated merchant account.

This option is available for the following products that contain a Fee Computer board:

■ Cashier Station

■ CCTD

■ Kiosk

■ Pay Station

■ Barcode Pay Station*

■ Automatic Cashier Terminal (ACT)

■ Lane Pay Station (LPS)

*The Automatic Validations option is standard on the Barcode Pay Station.

If the payment device is not equipped with factory-installed EA15 barcode reader, you can purchase:

■ A Metrologic handheld scanner package (for cashier terminals).

■ A mounted scanner assembly containing a Motorola scanner (for unmanned payment devices). This option is only available as a field upgrade.

If it is equipped with the EA15 barcode reader — such as the Barcode Pay Station — and the Automatic Validations option, configuring the merchant accounts is the only task you need to per-form. Refer to “Configure the Merchant Accounts” on page 39. 1

1 This manual may reference legacy part numbers and product names. Please refer to the 3M Parking Price Book for current product names or contact your customer service representative with questions.

Page 10: Automatic Validations Option

If it is equipped with the EA15 barcode reader and you are adding the Automatic Validations option after the payment device is installed:

1. Upgrade the configuration chip as described in “Upgrading the Firmware and Configuration Chip” on page 19.

2. Configure the merchant accounts as described in “Configure the Merchant Accounts” on page 39.

The rest of this section describes:

■ “Field Upgrade Kits” on page 10

■ “Validation Media Considerations” on page 13

■ “Related Documents” on page 14

Field Upgrade Kits

To add the Automatic Validations option to an existing device, you need:

■ A configuration chip with the Auto Validation option enabled

■ A barcode scanner or Neuron Swipe Reader. There are two barcode scanner options available for field upgrade:

● The Metrologic handheld scanner for use with cashier terminals

● The Motorola mounted scanner for use with unmanned payment devices

Note: Some devices can be ordered with a factory-installed EA15 barcode reader. All devices can be ordered with the Neuron Swipe Reader.

■ A Memory Expansion Board, when ordered for the Cashier Station cashier terminal

Note: All items are sold separately.

Page 13: Automatic Validations Option

Neuron Swipe Reader

The Neuron Swipe Reader can be used with the Automatic Validations option on any of the Fee Computer payment devices. There is a mounted version of the reader for the unmanned payment devices and a desktop option for use with a cashier terminal. Because this option is installed at the factory, this manual does not include instructions for adding the swipe reader. For help with adding a Neuron Swipe Reader to an existing piece of equipment, contact your distributor.

CPU Memory Expansion Board

To add the Automatic Validations option with the handheld scanner to a Cashier Station, a CPU Memory Expansion Board (PN# 78-0060-2846-4) is required to provide the additional serial port needed for the scanner. The Expansion Board is connected to the Fee Computer Board with three standoff studs and a 60-pin connector. For more information about how this board connects to the Fee Computer board, refer to “Install the Memory Expansion Board” on page 22.

Figure 1.3 Memory Expansion Board

Validation Media Considerations

The validation media must contain a string of up to eight characters, at a specified offset, that is used to identify the merchant account with which the validation is associated. This is called the gift/loyalty card code. When a barcode or magnetic stripe validation is presented, the Cashier Station compares the string from the media to the specified gift/loyalty card code and

60-Pin Connector is on the back side of this board

75-0302-1494-6 Automatic Validations Manual - Version 1 13

Page 14: Automatic Validations Option

offset values of each gift/loyalty merchant account to locate the applicable account and apply the discount defined in that account. For example, if a merchant wants to use their rewards cards as a means of giving their customers a parking discount, the cards must contain a string of characters that is the same on all of the cards. In this example, the rewards card number may contain a store identifier value that can be used as the gift/loyalty card code.

For the mounted Motorola scanner, you will need to know the format of the barcode(s) so that you can program the scanner. If you do not know the format, contact the company that printed the barcode(s).

Note: There are smart phone apps that can read several barcode formats and that report the format of the barcode.

Required Tools

A chip puller is required to install either barcode readers.

The following tools are required to install the mounted barcode reader:

■ Chip puller

■ Pencil

■ Drill template (refer to “Mounting Template” on page 49)

■ Drill with bits for drilling 0.2" and a 1.5" holes in metal

■ Protective eye wear

■ Large sheet of plastic or paper and masking tape

■ Wrench to tighten an M4 Kep nut

Configure the Merchant Accounts

The validation media (barcode coupon or magnetic stipe card) must contain a string of up to eight characters, at a specified offset, that is used to identify the merchant account with which the validation is associated. This is called the gift/loyalty card code. When a validation media is presented, the Cashier Station compares the string from the validation media to the specified gift/loyalty card code and offset values of each gift/loyalty merchant account to locate the applicable account and apply the discount defined in that account. For example, if a merchant wants to use their rewards cards as a means of giving their customers a parking discount, the cards must contain a string of characters that is the same on all of the cards. In this example, the rewards card number may contain a store identifier value that can be used as the gift/loyalty card code.

Merchant Account programming can be performed locally or remotely. The following instructions explain how to program the accounts locally. For remote programming instructions, refer to the documentation for the facility management system that your site is using; however, note that the field definitions provided here are specific to configuring Automatic Validations.

Note: The following programming instructions contain Cashier Station screen images. If you are programming an unmanned payment device, such as a Pay Station, local programming is done with the Programming Interface that has a 4-line LCD, not a VGA color display. The information presented on the LCD is exactly the same as the information presented on the color display, except the LCD only shows four lines of data at a time. The navigation is the same as well.

To program the necessary merchant accounts:

1. Log into the payment device. For instructions, refer to the applicable product manual.

2. Press the PROG/PRINT.

3. From the main programming menu, select Accounts.

Page 44: Automatic Validations Option

Programming the Barcode Scanner

The factory-installed EA15 barcode reader is programmed at the factory to read a wide variety of barcode formats includes most linear barcodes and QR codes. If the reader is not reading a particular barcode format, refer to the manual that came with the payment device for troubleshooting and re-programming instructions.

The Metrologic handheld scanner is factory-configured to read most one-dimensional barcode formats. Typically, scanner programming isn’t necessary. However, if the scanner is not reading a particular barcode format, refer to the Metrologic documentation that came with the scanner.

The Motorola mounted scanner, however, requires some programming, described in this section.

To program the Motorola mounted scanner:

1. Set all parameters to defaults (pg 10-8*)

2. Set the #EBh parameter to 03h <DATA><SUFFIX 1><SUFFIX 2> (pg 10-89*), which inserts a line feed and carriage return after the data.

3. Program the required formats (refer to the applicable format section in chapter 10*).

Note: To find out the format of a barcode, contact the company that provided the barcode.

4. Optionally, change the volume of the beep that occurs when the barcode is recognized (pg 10-10*).

5. Optionally, enable Low-Power mode to conserve power when the scanner isn’t being used (pg 10-13*).

*The chapter and page numbers provided above pertain to the Motorola Symbol MiniScan MXSS04 Series Integration Guide, 72E-67134-05, Revision A, January 2008. These chapter and page numbers may be different in other revisions of the manual.
