Experience pays off
The Universal PS combines Federal APD’s half century of application experience with the best in design and components to create a patron-friendly, service-friendly payment kiosk for today’s parking applications.
Designed around the patron…
Designed for high volume payment applications, the Universal PS recognizes either magstripe tickets or prox cards, calculates the patron’s fee (including any vouchers or validations), then accepts credit card, coin or bank note payments. Once the payment is processed, the patron receives change in bank notes or coins as appropriate, and can elect to receive a receipt from the thermal printer. The 15” display directs the patron throughout the transaction. A carefully designed series of screens and component locations allow optimal userfriendliness for all patrons regardless of age, native language or literacy. And the kiosk size and layout provides comfortable ergonomics for patrons of all sizes, whether in a wheelchair or well over six feet tall (1.8m).
…and the technician
Federal APD recognizes that one of the fundamentals of operational success is the routine servicing of kiosks like the Universal PS. That’s why the internal layout of the kiosk is designed to make it easy to perform common tasks, from changing paper to cleaning, typically without a single tool. Internal lighting, slide-out subassemblies, sight lines to indicators, room for hands and tools… the Universal PS was designed with technicians in mind.
The Bottom Line
But even successful patron interactions and easy maintenance can’t overcome the cost of theft or substantial vandalism. So the Universal PS is designed to resist theft and vandalism to a high degree by using heavy gauge steel construction, a five point locking mechanism and a reinforced LCD display. And if the unit is damaged, in spite of this, both cosmetic and functional components are designed for easy replacement without scrapping the entire kiosk.
