1 Structure of the pay station
1.1 Overview
The automatic pay station APS 0100 COMPACT is available for two different systems: for ticket
systems for processing parking tickets with magnetic strips, and for the Chipmaster system,
which uses parking chips. The systems differ only in the way the tickets or chips are processed.
For this reason, the manual refers to tickets and parking chips.
Illustration 1: Complete overview of the COMPACT pay station
1.2 Housing
The housing is made from elo-galvanised sheet steel, the door consists of stainless steel. The
standard version of the unit is powder coated in Pantone 320C (turquoise blue). Other coatings
are possible as options. The components required to operate the unit are mounted on a frame.
In the basic version, the pay station is supplied without stand and without lighting unit. A
mounting kit is required for wall mounting. If required by the customer, a stand and/or a lighting
unit over the pay station can also be fitted.
The front door is double locked with a bar lock. The bar lock is secured by means of a security
cylinder lock.

1.3 Control elements at the door
1.3.1 Buttons
The control elements are mounted in the middle of the pay station housing. The buttons have
the following function:
•Cancellation button
The cancellation button interrupts the current pay station procedure. The pay station pays
back any paid money, or codes a credit note on the ticket/card/chip and returns the
ticket/card/chip.
•Information button
The information button forms a link to the intercom centre and makes a call tone be heard
in the main intercom centre.
•Receipt button
By pressing the receipt button, the customer can obtain a receipt of the paid parking fee
after completing payment.
A receipt is produced automatically for payment by credit card or when a paid ticket is in-
serted into the magnetic card reader a second time.
Optional:
•Language switch
This button can be used to change the language used in the display. The possible lan-
guages are indicated by the flags next to the button. The language texts are downloaded
from the BFR by pressing the button, and are then shown in the display. The system can
manage up to 4 languages.
Optional for ticket systems:
•Lost ticket
With this button, the customer can request a replacement ticket at a special rate (normally
the daily rate). This button can be blocked or released from the data control centre to rule
out any risk of misuse, for example this button can be released for individual customers
after checking the situation by means of the intercom.
1.3.2 Display
A liquid crystal display (LCD) 2 x 20 characters is integrated in the pay station. The characters
are 10 mm high. The display is illuminated from behind by LEDs. All instructions necessary for
operation (user guide, money amounts, fault messages) are shown in plain text.
As an option, a display with space for 4 x 20 characters is available, which indicates the sums
of money in the local currency and Euro.
Illuminated arrows help the car park customer through all transactions at the automatic pay
station.

1.4 Inner structure of the pay station
The inner structure of the pay station is arranged in three areas. On the left, depending on the
system, there is the magnetic card reader or parking chip reader. The control electronic (->
TCC) is fastened on a mounting plate together with the power supply and the connection termi-
nals. In the middle is the coin processing unit and right on the right the receipt printer, together
with the options note processing and money card reader.
The individual components of the pay station are described below.
1.4.1 Main switch
The main switch is located in the rear left-hand section of the pay station. This switch is used to
switch the pay station on and off. In the lower position, the switch disconnects the pay station
from the power mains for all poles. When this switch is switched on, the pay station is supplied
with electricity and the TCC loads its program.
CAUTION:
The mains filter, terminal strip and optional illumination unit are not disconnected from
the mains!

1.4.2 Power component 24 V
The power component is located towards the back, over the main switch. It provides the func-
tion modules of the pay station with 24 V DC power supply. An illuminated display (power) indi-
cates that the power component is working.
The DC power supply is distributed to the modules via the terminal strip positioned under the
power component.

Depending on the version, a magnetic card reader or parking chip reader is installed in
the pay station.
1.4.3 Multicon
The magnetic card read is used together with the ticket slide or with the options ticket printer
and/or transport component, and is called Multicon.
Depending on the scope of functions, the magnetic card reader can be equipped optionally with
additional reading heads for the side track as per ISO and for the special track for discounting.
llustration 3: magnetic track reader
1.4.3.1 Magnetic card reader
The magnetic card reader pulls the tickets and cards in, reads the data, writes (codes) the data
back on the ticket or card in changed form and then returns the card if required.
Depending on the design of the Multicon, paper tickets can be processed together with plastic
cards with middle track and optionally also side track (credit cards, bank and ec cards).
The magnetic card reader is equipped with a printed circuit board (flat component UMSL) for
serial communication with the TCC (interface X10 or X11) and which is responsible for control-
ling the functions of the magnetic card reader, the pin printer and the transport component.
The connections of the printed circuit board are indicated in the following drawing.

1.4.3.2 Ticket printer
The paper tickets (cardboard) are printed in plain text with figures 0 – 9 and capital letters. The
pin printer can only be used in combination with a magnetic card reader, as this controls the
transport of the ticket into the correct printing position.
1.4.3.3 Transport component (TBG) (optional)
Three different transport components can be used optionally:
•Transport component TBG I offers the possibility of ticket supply, it is present when the pay
station has the option "lost ticket". TBG 1 does not allow for processing of credit cards or value
cheques.
•TBG II supports the processing of credit cards, value and time cheques. It has an integrated
ticket filter so that the tickets can either be transported into a ticket store or, by changing the
filter over, collected in a collector (e.g. value and time cheques). If the ticket is "parked" in the
ticket store, then the magnetic reader is free to process a credit card or ec card.
•TBG III has the same features as TBG II but also allows for the additional production of
tickets from a belt (lost ticket). However, the processing of value and time checks and the op-
tion "lost ticket" are mutually exclusive.
The connections of the printed circuit board in TBG III are shown in the following illustration:
