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.
