1.0.Introduction The ACR330 Bus Validator is designed specifically for Automatic
Fare Collection (AFC) systems. It offers the convenience of
cashless payment in buses, ferries, trams, railways and other
transportation modes.
The bus validator enables high-speed transaction processing and
records collection through 13.56 MHz contactless (RFID)
technology, supporting ISO 14443 Type A and B cards,
MIFARE®, and FeliCa. Being certified with major payment
standards such as PBOC Level 1 (Contactless) and EMV™
Levels 1 and 2 (Contactless) including MasterCard® Contactless
and Visa PayWave® offers flexibility to adapt to an open loop
payment system. An embedded barcode scanner enables
transactions through the use of print or mobile barcodes.
It has advanced wireless connectivity options for data transfer such as GSM/GPRS, 3G/4G, and Wi-Fi.
With an optional GPS feature, it can also be used to locate vehicles, manage fleets and set flexible
distance-based fares. Protecting the bus validator from harsh environment is its IP54 rating for dust
and water protection and the additional Military Standard MIL-STD-810 for shock and vibration.
This document provides detailed guidelines on using the ACR330.

2.3. Installing the Back Mount
2.3.1. Preparing the Components
Prior to installation, it is necessary to ensure that the components are complete and in good condition.
Both the pole and the back-mount should be ready before the installation.
2.3.1.1. The Pole
To prepare the pole:
1. On the right side of the pole, check if the holes needed to secure the position of the ACR330 have
been well-drilled. For reference, please refer to the illustration below.
Note: The position of the holes can be adjusted depending on the requirement

2. Check if the required cables (e.g. power cords) have been properly passed through the poles, and
that they can reach the position of the mounting with ample extra length.
3. Check the following details of the pole:
Diameter (31/32mm or 35mm)
Orientation (Vertical or Horizontal)
4. After checking the pole, proceed to check the back-mount.
2.3.1.2. The Back-mount
To prepare the back mount:
1. Unbox the tools. A back-mount, a key, and a brown box are included in the package.

2. Using the key, open the lock of the back-mount. The lock is located at the bottom part of the
back-mount as shown on the image below:
3. Unlocking the back-mount will cause it to disassemble into three parts: front cover, back
cover, and the water-resistant part. Rubber adapters are also included inside the back-
mount.

2.3.2. Installing ACR330 using a Vertical Pole
Note: Please ensure that the components are well prepared before starting the installation.
To install the ACR330 using a vertical pole:
1. Place the rubber part on top of the metal part 1.
Note: This step is only applicable when using a 31/32mm pole. When using a 35mm pole,
please skip this step.
2. Put metal part 1 and metal part 2 on top of the pole and screw them together using PM4*20
screws (4 pieces). The order of screwing is shown on the picture below:
