CITEA PIN

CITEA CHIP & PIN

This special model stands out due to its ability to accept card payments which must be safeguarded with a PIN, as a security option. This can be a national safety regulation or at the desire of the operator if large amounts of money are involved. Hectronic can claim with pride to be the first producer globally to provide an approved CHIP & PIN solution in a parking ticket machine.

Each successful payment is of course verified with a receipt for the online transaction. Depending on the application, a parking ticket, travel ticket, entrance ticket or combi ticket can also be printed out.

In addition, the modular design of the machine is continued in this model.

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 the increased security requirements for electronic payments. An additionally secured display in the PIN input area and the vandalism proof design of the entire assembly secures the investment.

Conveniently configure to the PC, transfer settings, switch on, all done.

Security

Both the card reader and PIN keyboard are sealed, internal communication is encrypted, just like the transfer of card data with the PIN to the bank via (W)LAN or GSM/GPRS modem. For cash payments, a real safe protects the money in conjunction with a strengthened steel structure and base framework. This mechanical Hectronic security concept makes break ins and break in attempts futile. Customer specific locks guarantee individual security. High performance coin checkers and electronic slot barriers with locks protect against counterfeit money and attempts at manipulation. Self locking money cassettes guarantee quick and secure transportation of the money.

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.
