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.

Chapter 1 • Introduction
Universal PS Operational Overview

The Universal PS is a sophisticated payment processing center that is installed at a central
location and that allows patrons to process their own transactions. It supports cash, coin,
credit, and ValueCard payments, all of which are optional equipment, so you can configure the
Universal PS to meet your site’s needs. It can also process parking validations, providing you
purchase the Vouchers and Validations option. Additional options include:
■ Lost Ticket—this option includes a Lost Ticket button and a Ticket Burster that is used to
dispense the paid tickets.
■ Multiple Language—this option includes a Language selection button and software

support of several languages.
■ Voice Annunciator—this option includes a voice annunciator module and speaker that
broadcast instructional audio messages to the patron and a walk-up detection sensor that
initiates the voice annunciator.
■ Intercom—this option includes an Aiphone or ADA-compliant intercom speaker and

button.
■ ScanNet® Central Processing—this option includes the ScanNet® Central Processing

software application that is used to control and monitor the devices in your parking
operation and the communication device(s) necessary to connect the Universal PS to
ScanNet®.
■ Central Credit Card—this option includes the credit card processing module in
ScanNet®.
■ DataTran—this option includes a hardware device that communicates with the

clearinghouse, via a telephone line, to gain transaction approval.
A typical transaction is processed as follows:
1. The patron inserts the ticket that they received at the entrance of the parking facility.
2. The Universal PS displays the patron’s fee.
3. The patron pays the fee.
4. The Universal PS:
a. Encodes the ticket with payment information and the expected exit date and time. It
also prints this information on the ticket.
b. Returns the paid ticket to the patron.
c. If the patron presses the Receipt button, the Universal PS prints a receipt.
5. The patron presents the paid ticket at the exit. If the patron does not exit within the allotted
grace time, they are charged an additional fee.

Universal PS Operational Overview
If the patron pays the fee and then stays beyond the paid time or the allotted grace time, they
can insert their ticket again and pay for the additional time. If the Universal PS is online with
ScanNet®, you can configure the Universal PS to calculate the patron repay fee as a
continuous fee, rather than a new fee. When continuous fee is enabled, the parking fee is
calculated for the patron’s entire stay and then the existing payments are deducted to
determine the balance owed; otherwise, the additional time is treated as a new transaction.
If the Universal PS is equipped with the Lost Ticket option, the patron presses the Lost Ticket
button and the Universal PS displays the Lost Ticket fee. After the patron pays the fee, the
Universal PS dispenses a paid ticket that the patron uses to exit the facility. If the patron walks
away after pressing the button, the Universal PS automatically cancels the transaction after a
configured amount of time and displays the Welcome screen again.
The Universal PS can also be configured to support pre-payment. That is, you program the
Universal PS to allow patrons to pre-pay during a specific block of time with a pre-defined
exit date and time. For example, set the pre-pay option to run from 8AM to 5PM every day.
Patrons that arrive after 8AM and expect to leave by 5PM can pay their parking fees upon
arrival. They insert their ticket and then press the Pre-Pay button. The parking fee is
calculated from the entry date and time on the ticket until 5PM.

Magnetic Stripe Tickets

The Universal PS magnetically encodes data on the parking ticket’s magnetic stripe. The
device also prints a variety of information on the face of the ticket. Figure 1.1 shows a
magnetic stripe ticket imprinted with standard and pre-paid entry information. Figure 1.2
shows the information printed on the ticket at the exit.

Cabinet
The Universal PS cabinet (Figure 1.3 on page 19) is constructed of weather resistant
aluminum over a 16-gauge steel frame that provides strength and durability. The cabinet is
65.41” H x 27.14” W x 21.28” D. The front door and top of the cabinet comes in silver, white,
or yellow with a black stripe. Additional colors may be specially ordered.
Figure 1.3 Universal PS Cabinet

Door Position Detection Switches

Two plunger-action door switches are located in the top left side of the door frame (Figure 1.4
on page 20). The top switch is used to actuate the cabinet lights when the door is opened and
the bottom switch is used to detect the position of the door. When a door is opened:
■ A message is sent to the journal printer.

■ A message is sent to ScanNet if the Universal PS is online.
■ The Universal PS is disabled for operation.
Figure 1.4 Universal PS Door Switches
In some cases, diagnosing an issue requires operation of the Universal PS while the doors are
open. To bypass the door switch, pull the switch plunger all the way out.

User Interface Components

The Universal PS has the following user-interface components (Figure 1.5 on page 22):
■ A color VGA monitor patron display.
■ An optional note acceptor into which patrons insert paper money.
■ An optional coin slot.
■ An optional credit card reader.
■ An optional note dispenser tray.
■ An optional coin dispenser tray.
■ An optional Language button.
■ An optional Aiphone Intercom or ADA-compliant intercom.
■ An optional Lost-Ticket button or an optional Pre-Pay button.
■ A Cancel button.
■ A Receipt button.
■ A ticket slot through which tickets are inserted.
■ An optional annunciation speaker that plays pre-programmed audio messages to the

patron and a motion sensor that activates the annunciator when a patron approaches the
machine.

Power Components
The power components (Figure 1.6 on page 23) include:
■ A single-pole Main Power Switch with a GFCI dual power receptacle

■ A bank of DIN rail terminals
■ Two junction boxes supplying eight grounded receptacles
■ A 24VDC power supply
■ A 24VCD/5VDC power supply for the note dispenser (optional)
Note: Some sites also use an external uninterruptable power supply (UPS) for battery power
during power failures.

The power flows through the Universal PS as follows:
1. Incoming AC power (115 VAC at 15A) is wired to the terminals of the single-pole switch
located in the junction box on the bottom left corner, in front of the power supply
(Figure 1.6).
2. The single pole switch is factory-wired to the GFCI receptacles.

3. The thermostat and heater are factory-wired into a junction box that is factory wired to the
terminals of the GFCI receptacles.
4. The thermostat junction box is factory-wired to the terminals of the left 4-outlet junction
box.
5. The right 4-outlet junction box has a factory wired power cord that plugs into one of the
outlets on the left junction box.
6. If the Universal PS is equipped with a note dispenser, the note disperser power supply is
plugged into one of the outlets on the left junction box.
7. The VGA monitor (patron display) is plugged into one of the outlets in the left junction
box.
8. The GFCI is factory wired to the 24 VDC power supply which is factory-wired to a bank
of DIN rail terminals.
9. The DIN rail terminals convey power to the cabinet lights, the SBC, the journal printer, the
note acceptor, the receipt printer, and the SST CPU Board.
To simplify installation, most of the system components are factory-wired. Connecting the
incoming AC power supply to the pigtails inside the GFCI junction box is the only power
connection required for installation.
SST Ticket Transport

The Ticket Transport:
■ Reads, encodes, and dispenses magnetic stripe tickets

■ Can optionally read and encode ValueCards
■ Can optionally read credit cards
The Ticket Transport is connected to the SST CPU Board (page 28), which is connected to the
Auditor PowerPad4 CPU Board (Figure 1.13 on page 30). The APP4 CPU controls the
behavior of the Transport.
By default, the Universal PS is outfitted with the SST/HP-1 Transport (Figure 1.7), which
contains one read head. The ticket must be inserted with the magnetic stripe facing down and
to the right. However, you can optionally order the Universal PS with the SST/HP-4 which
contains four read heads; with the SST/HP-4, no specific ticket orientation is required.

Programming Overview
Universal PS programming is stored in the memory of the Auditor PowerPad CPU Board.
Offline systems are programmed locally with the programming interface; online systems can
be programmed locally or remotely from ScanNet®.
Programming from ScanNet® is typically easier for the following reasons:
■ ScanNet® provides a graphical user interface that allows you to see more fields than the
LCD display on the programming interface.
■ You can program several devices at once.
■ You can pull the current programming from a device and save programming parameters to
quickly program a new device or to reprogram an existing device after a firmware
upgrade.
Refer to the ScanNet® Operator Manual for more information.
The Auditor PowerPad4 is used in several applications. This chapter lists the PowerPad4
functions that require programming for the Universal PS application. Programming tasks that
are specific to the Universal PS include step-by-step instructions. General programming tasks
that apply to several applications, are documented in other manuals. For these tasks, a brief
description is given, along with information relevant to the Universal PS, and the path to the
given programming function. If you need more detail to complete a programming step, refer to
the Auditor PowerPad4 Fee Computer Operator Manual and/or the ScanNet® Operator
Manual.
During installation and after firmware updates, clear the Auditor PowerPad4 CPU memory to
ensure bench testing and legacy data is deleted prior to beginning operation.

Program  Keys  Date-Time Key
Define Accepted Cards
If the Universal PS will accept credit card payments and/or debit-based ValueCard payments,
define the accepted card types:
1. Program the Alt Paymt Key (Program  Keys  Alt Pymt Key) to define the accepted
credit cards. The granularity of information on the credit card reports depends upon how
you program this function:
● If you set up one alternate payment and select ALL CARDS for the Type, all credit
card payments are reported together.
● If you set up one alternate payment for each type of accepted credit card, the reporting
is broken out by card type.
For reporting purposes, give each alternate payment a name that corresponds to the card
type. For example, if the first alternate payment is set to VISA, change Alt Paymt 1 to
VISA.
If debit ValueCards are accepted, set up an alternate payment for ValueCards as well.
2. In the system preferences (Program  System Pref  Credit Card) activate the credit
card system and set the values of the following fields:

Set Up the Pre-Pay Feature

The Universal PS can be configured to support pre-payment. That is, you program the
Universal PS to allow patrons to pre-pay during a specific block of time with a pre-defined
exit date and time. For example, set the pre-pay option to run from 8AM to 5PM every day.
Patrons that arrive after 8AM and expect to leave by 5PM can pay their parking fees upon
arrival. They insert their ticket and then press the Pre-Pay button. The parking fee is
calculated from the entry date and time on the ticket until 5PM.
Note: This option requires a button that is wired to the pre-pay input on the APP I/O Board.
To set up pre-pay:

pay fee.
b. In the Repay Fee Table field, enter the number of the fee table to use for additional
payments made on the ticket. For example, if the customer pays for parking until
5PM, but doesn’t return to the lot until 6PM, they can insert their ticket to repay for
the additional hour of parking.
c. In the Banner field, enter up to 20 characters to display on the first line of the patron
display message for the pre-pay option.
d. In the Group field, enter 1. All other options apply to other devices.

Enable Continuous Fee

If the patron pays the fee and then stays beyond the paid time or the allotted grace time, they
can insert their ticket again and pay for the additional time. If the Universal PS is online with
ScanNet®, you can configure the Universal PS to calculate the patron repay fee as a
continuous fee, rather than a new fee. When continuous fee is enabled, the parking fee is
calculated for the patron’s entire stay and then the existing payments are deducted to
determine the balance owed; otherwise, the additional time is treated as a new transaction.
Note: If the Universal PS is offline with ScanNet®, it cannot retrieve the information
necessary to calculate a continuous fee. In this situation, it treats the additional time like
a new transaction, calculating from the first fee table segment.
To enable continuous fee, set the Continuous Fee Mode field on the Program Ticket Tracking
screen to Continuous.

not accept notes.
■ The Universal PS prints an error message on the journal printer and it sends the same
message to the ScanNet® Alarms and Monitoring windows.
■ The Universal PS may go out of service, depending upon the device’s configuration. Refer
to “Program the Note Acceptor” on page 106.
To ensure that the Universal PS is fully operational, establish a regular schedule for emptying
