Maintenance Credit card
The IPS Maintenance Credit card is used to add time to the meter without using currency. It is the fastest way to add time to a meter, and
more convenient than inserting coins into the meter. (Using coins to add time to a meter corrupts the true revenue-metric, whereas the use
of the Maintenance Credit card does not alter the coin / currency count.) To provide accountability, every individual card use is tracked in
the DMS.
RFID Tag and Reader
This reference topic discusses the IPS Group, Inc. RFID tag and reader.
IPS meters use RFID technology to identify and report their exact locations to customers, through the DMS.
RFID tag
Each customer / city owned "pole" (geographic location), contains one RFID tag. Each RFID tag contains a unique serial number.
