Users Manual Part 1

Prepay
A SSPM can be configured (through the DMS) to accept payment before the start of an enforcement period, by creating a "prepay" period.
A prepay periods occur within a "free parking" period, and ends when the "pay period" begins (i.e. when enforcement starts). When an
SSPM receives currency while in a prepay period, the LCD shows the amount of time purchased in addition to the amount of free parking
time remaining (i.e., until the pay period / enforcement starts).
No payment accepted
There are two time period configurations that can cause a "No Payment Accepted" state. In both cases the meter ignores any payment
inserted, and continues to display the configured screen. The messages for these time periods can be customized as necessary.
1. Free parking - Typically display when parking is not enforced.
2. No parking - Used for Tow-Away or Street Cleaning.
