Package content
The Alberici Cashless System ACS is made up by:
1.
As many read / write (RW) modules as requested
2.
As many empty Cards/Keys as requested
Notice: if you are not owning the Programming Kit K-P10-000009 ACS Reader , and the Programming
interface K-P4N-000007 for ACR Cards/Keys, it will be necessary to place an order for it to be able to
initialize the ACS module and the RFID s.
This product has been packed with the utmost care. In the case that you receive it damaged or incomplete,
please notify immediately your findings to the Carrier.

Introduction
The Alberici Cashless System (ACS) is designed to read or write data on the chip transponder (Tag) built
into the Card/Key-shaped support. Data get stored in the form of units of credit..
The Card/Key can be read or written (R/W) only by the RW module sharing the same password (PIN) of
the Card/Key. Each Card/Key and each RW module can be initialized only by means of the programmers.
Cards/Keys are available in various colours: green, yellow, blue, red, white (recommended for the
Service Cards/Keys) and black (recommended for the Master Card/Key).
The ACS makes use of the secure and reliable MIFARE®technology. Exchange of data occurs through
radio-frequency signals (RFID): no direct contact is made between components prevent wear-out of the
system . The Keys are waterproof, resistant and non-reproducible.
The system is ideal for such applications like:
-
Automatic distributors
- Car-wash plants
-
Automatic Laundrettes
-
Gyms and swimming-pools
-
Access controls
- Theme parks
-
Parking places
-
Internet kiosks
The chip transponder contains 45 blocks, 16 bytes each. It can therefore store up to 720 bytes.
Each RW module must control only the Cards/Keys that have been initialized for that particular module,
and inversely each Card/Key must be compatible only with the RW modules for which they have been
initialized. To this aim, the system is designed so as to make the Cards/Keys accessible only through
password (PIN).
The ACS module must therefore be initialized by making use of the Programmer Kit for Peripheral
Units (K-P10-000009) and of the “cctalk-mifare.exe” software provided. At this stage, the 6-digit PIN
must be given: the RW reader shall compare its PIN with the one of the inserted Card/Key; if their
PINs are not the same, the Card/Key with such ACS reader (see Section 6.1).
If lost, the password (PIN) cannot be retrieved, not even by Alberici S.p.A.: once the password has been
produced for the RW module, it must properly be recorded and kept secret.
To initialize the Cards/Keys that will work with the relevant ACS module, the ACR Cards/Keys
Programmer (K-P4N- 000007), as well as the “cctalk-mifare.exe” software, must be used. The software
itself shall ask to give the Card/Key, laying on the programmer interface, the same PIN as the one given to
the RW reader that it must work in conjunction with.
