CITEA Cashless

The CITEA – parking ticket machine

This variation on the basic model can be used for parking management of public parking places as well for various forms of ticket sales, it can used for local public traffic, to gain entry into events or as a simple proof of payment.

The modular design of the machines already provides, in the basic version, performance at the highest technical level. As proof of payment a parking ticket, optionally with receipt and/or advertising text, is printed which the buyer must, as a rule, place behind the windscreen.

• Use on and off street
• Marking of parking spaces not necessary
• Simple control on the vehicle

Functionality

Functionality for the user and the operator is the focal point of all considerations As well as a four line, alphanumeric display screen and the user-friendly design of the user interface, the machine is also impressive in particular, due to its various payment options and the extensive setting options. Conveniently configure to the PC, transfer settings, switch on, all done.

Security

By removing coin processing, function and comfort are not necessarily lost also. Almost certainly however, a big gain in security results. The risk of break-in, even if it is futile, goes away. There is no more handling of cash, and at the same time any form of mismanagement or fraud. No loss or risk when transporting the cash.

The strengthened steel structure of the base foundations, represents the mechanical Hectronic security concept on this type of machine too, which continually secures the money. Break ins and break in attempts are futile. Customer specific locks guarantee individual security.

Wireless and LAN connections transmit alert messages if an unauthorised attempt is made to access the machine. Use of chip cards protects against fraud as they are virtually unforgeable.
