Payment Method Decal

Below are the most commonly used payment method decals. Customer specific decals

can be purchased when ordering.

Solar Panel

The solar panel on the back of the meter acts as a continuous source of power for the

meter’s rechargeable battery. The panel should remain unobstructed in order to allow

for maximum light exposure. Although it does not require direct sunlight to be

operational, the solar panel should be free from any graffiti or obstructions in order to

maximize battery life.

Additionally, if a meter will be bagged for longer than a 48 hour period, IPS recommends

that it be turned off to prevent the battery from discharging, as the bag would prevent the

solar panel from receiving light necessary to maintain the battery’s charge.

Coin Validator

The coin validator is a removable component of the meter that

differentiates the coins inserted into the meter based on a variety

of attributes. The validator utilizes optical sensors to detect

blockages caused by both metallic and non-metallic objects.

Jams are reported wirelessly to a distribution list established by

the user. This allows for a more rapid response to affected

meters and results in increased meter uptime and revenue.

A variety of coins or tokens can be programmed into the meter as

required. Additionally, known slugs or coin-like objects

commonly used to defraud the meter can be specifically targeted

and programmed to be rejected.
