The ParkLite Ticket Dispenser was designed to manage the exit
lane of a parking area. This function can be carried out by the
equipment only subordinately with respect to the “ParkLite”
management software.
The unit which controls exit from the gate must be connected to
the data Controller PC, and to the relevant application program.
This type of connection makes it possible to exploit all the ser-
vices offered by the system, thanks to the support of the parking
area management program.
The ParkLite Ticket Reader is available in three versions:
• ParkLite TR
• ParkLite TR-TAG
• ParkLite TR-MAG
All models are provided with the ticket reading module, for
managing single-stay users.
Thermostat
Plastic box with control
board Cobra 5000 P.Lite
Metal protection for
Power Feeder and wire

Heater
The equipment was designed to read tickets with a 22-character
interleaved 2/5 barcode, issued by the ParkLite Ticket Dispensers
installed on the area entry lanes, or by the ParkLite Decentralised
Cash Desks, as substitute tickets.
The ParkLite Ticket Reader reads the ticket by means of a one-
way 16-line laser scanner, at a scanning speed of 1200 times a
second.
“ParkLite TR-TAG” has a reader of passive proximity cards,
which detects memory-stored codes at a frequency of 125 Khz.
“ParkLite TR-MAG” has a magnetic card reader, which reads
magnetic bands coded on a Standard 2 ISO track.
The equipment is operational only when it is on-line with the
management software.
TheTicketReadercanbeconnectedtoaspecicintercom
control unit (optional), which enables the operator to remotely
communicate with the user situated on the exit lane.
Connection with two magnetic loops, able to detect the pre-
sence and transit direction of the vehicle, is obligatory for all
models.
The engagement and disengagement of these sensors, allows
the Ticket Reader to enable the ticket/card reading modules,
control the car’s travelling direction, supply the closing com-
mand to the beam and do the counting.
The location of the loops, in common with the equipment for
controlling access in the exit lane, must observe to the letter
the instructions in the following chapters.
The Ticket Reader directly opens/closes the beam with an
impulsive logic, providing the open/closed command.
For this reason, when creating exit gates for vehicles, solely
beams which manage the car park logic must be used.
The vehicles-only lanes must be provided with appropriate
horizontal and vertical signs indicating “transit by pedestrians
forbidden”. Likewise, if there are any pedestrian crossings
on the lanes, all the beams must be made safe and suitable
warning signs must be installed. See the current legal regula-
tions on the matter (in particular standards: EN12453 and EN
12455).
To avoid damage to transiting vehicles, the barriers must be
equipped with a safety option, which makes it possible to
connect the “vehicle present” signal, received from the transit
loop, to avoid accidental closure. This characteristic must be
enabled also when photocells installed under the beam are
used.

ENGLISH ENGLISH
All the components of an exit lane of a ParkLite automated
parking system, are directly managed by the Ticket Dispenser.
The exit lane of a parking area consists of:
• Nr. 01 ParkLite Ticket Reader.
•Nr. 01 620 rapid barrier RH.
•Nr. 02 Magnetic loops.
•Nr. 01 Pair of photocells.*
•The exit lane from a parking area managed by the Ticket
Reader must be constructed so that the vehicles coming from
different directions can easily get close to the column, to
enable the user to read the ticket or a valid card without any
difculty.
• The equipment must be installed on an island 15 cm. above
road level. If this is not possible, protective structures must be
installed around the base of the two columns (TR and barrier
620) and the Ticket Reader must be raised 15 cm. above the
lane paving, so that the devices for reading and treating the
tickets for exit from the parking area are located at the right
height.
• The Ticket Reader operates only if the magnetic loops have
been correctly connected to it. In fact, the column was desi-
gned to manage all the user exit from lane stages, exploiting
thesetwoelements,whicharegenerallydenedas:presence
loop and transit loop.
g.2Exitlane
The construction and deployment of the loops is fundamentally
important to ensure that the system functions correctly. For this
reason, observe to the letter all the instructions described in the
following paragraphs:
2.3 Making the Magnetic Loops
2.7 Positioning the equipment.
• The power cables and the cables for connecting the equi-
pment in the parking system must have the characteristics
indicated in paragraph:
3.2 Type of cables.
Furthermore, all the instructions in paragraph “General safety
rules” on page 3 must be respected, and, with reference to the
specicelectricalpreparations,asdescribedinparagraph:
3.1 Safety rules.
• The Ticket Reader was designed to manage automatically
the exit of vehicles from a parking area. Therefore, transit by
pedestrians must be forbidden in the area reserved for transit
of vehicles. Moreover, appropriate signs prohibiting transit by
pedestrians must be installed. Where it is not possible to have
an entrance/exit gate reserved exclusively for pedestrians, the
current legal regulations on the subject must be absolutely
observed; (in particular standards: EN 12453 and EN 12445)
• The lane must not allow the exit by two or more vehicles
side by side. For this reason, the width of the lane must be
appropriately sized, according to the type of vehicle generally
used.
• Sufcientspacemustbeprovidedforeveryequipmentof
the parking system, so that all the necessary installation and
maintenance operations can be smoothly carried out.
• Position the Ticket Reader so that it (laser scanner) is not
directly exposed to luminous radiation, which could be source
of disturbance during reading.
• Appropriate signs (not supplied by FAAC), indicating the
tariffs and the car park rules must be visibly shown on the
entrance lane to the car park.
* optional
NB.: All the equipment which can be used in the ParkLite
parking system, were designed and tested by FAAC, in
observance of the points mentioned above. In order to avoid
any kind of unforeseen behaviour, all the rules shown in this
manual must be observed.

ENGLISH ENGLISH
The following instructions must be respected:
•Laytheloopsatleast15cm.fromxedmetalobjects.
•Laytheloopsatleast15cm.fromxedmetalgrilles.
•Lay the loops at least 50 cm. from moving metal objects.
•The loops must be laid at a depth of 30mm. to 50mm. from
the road surface.
•The loop must be made with a single cable, without making
any joints or shunts inside the pits.
•The two ends of the cable issuing from the loop perimeter
must be twisted or intertwined with each other at least 20 times
per meter, up to the connection inside the Ticket Reader.
•The twisted cable of the loop must be laid in pipes or cable
ducts separated from those used for other purposes (power
etc.).
2.3.2 CONSTRUCTION
The shape of the loops must be ‘rectangular’. The corners
must be cut at 45° to prevent the cable breaking, due to the
vibrations of transiting vehicles or possible settling of the road
paving.
There are two methods for making them:
• Lay a single single-pole cable with a cross section of
1.5 mm2, with double insulation, directly in a chase made in
the existing road paving.
• First construct a cable duct in PVC of the necessary shape,
insert a single-pole single-insulation cable with a cross-section
of 1.5 mm2inside it, and then lay the loop thus constructed
inside the chase.
NB.:inbothcases,respecttherequirementsspeciedinpoint
2.3.1.
described up to here, around the perimeter in which it must be
constructed.
Procedure for the above operation: insert the cable end from
the sharp edge providing access into the chosen seat, next run
it inside for a set of full ‘circuits’, to make a coil, and then
make the same cable come out from the point where it had
been inserted.
Fig. 3
The windings which must be made in order to construct the
loop correctly, depend on the dimension of the perimeter.
The dimensions of the loops to be laid on the lane managed by
the Ticket Reader, shown in the following chapters, call strictly
for the construction of 4 windings.
In fact, the system detects all the transit stages of the vehicles
on the entrance lane, making use of these devices. As a result,
fewerthanspeciedwindingswillnotmaketheequipment,
assigned to control the lane, operate correctly.
NB.: if there are metal nets under the paving (see the distance
of the metal grilles previously referred to), we advise you to
add 2 windings to the 4 obligatory windings.

• Using a level, check if the foundation plate is perfectly hori-
zontal before installing.
• Secure the upright to the plate with suitable nuts and
washers.
• Position the Ticket Reader so that it (laser scanner) is not
directly exposed to luminous radiation, which could be source
of disturbance during reading.
2.5 COMPONENT DIMENSIONS
The following pictures show the dimensions in millimetres of
the main lane equipment.
2.4 MASONRY PREPARATIONS
The foundation plate for securing the Ticket Reader is identical
to the one used for installing the 620 barrier. The drawing be-
low shows the dimensions and methods for laying them both.

ENGLISH ENGLISH
Before carrying out the masonry works required to make the
lane, prepare all the channels/ducts/raceways essential for
cable routing, for electrical connection of the system’s equip-
ment.
Lay the cable ducts, scrupulously observing the indications
shown in the lay-out below.
Separate ducts must be provided between: high voltage (230
Vac power cables) and low voltage (cables for: commands,
safety, intercom, serial data line, etc.).
Furthermore, appropriately size the diameter of the cable ducts
to be laid, in relation to the cross-section and number of cables
to be inserted. To this end please refer to section 3. Electrical
preparations of this manual.

5. SETTING OF COMPONENTS
5.1 DETECTOR CONFIGURATION
The ParkLite Ticket Reader is supplied with the built-in DP2
two-channeldetector.Thisdeviceisttedintheinterface
board and detects vehicles transiting on the entrance lane. The
following image shows the board’s essential components:
Detector DP2
The detector can be set by using the 8 dip-switches located at
the side of the control board. Varying the position of each dip-
switch enables you to change the operational characteristics
of this component. The following steps show all the
congurationsthatcanbeperformed.Inadditiontothis,the
tables show the recommended value in blue.
Sensitivity
For each channel, you can change the inductivity sensitiveness
which a vehicle must vary to activate the relevant output of
the detector. This parameter is adjusted separately for each
channel, with the aid of two dip-switches
Frequency
Theoperatingfrequencyofthedetectorcanbecongured
on two levels, by dip-switches 4 and 8, separately for each
channel. It is essential to differentiate the frequency among the
channels of the detectors which command two adjacent loops,
in order to avoid any kind of noise.
Presence time and reset
Dip-switches 3 and 7 enable you to set a continuous detection
time of 5 minutes, after which a reset and a consequent self-set
are performed automatically. This type of setting is normally
not recommended for parking systems, because the cars may
stay on the loops for some time, e.g. waiting for a vehicle to
come out when the area is full.
Signalling LEDs
The green LED signals that the detector channel is operating,
whereas the red LED supplies information on the status of the
relay according to loop condition. Signals are shown separately
for each of the 2 channels.
The following table summarises the detected conditions.

To ensure that the various modules used by the Ticket Reader
operate in optimum conditions, a temperature of 22° Celsius must
be maintained inside the column. This characteristic will ensure
that the laser scanner operates at its best, when the ticket is read.
This is in addition to eliminating any condensation accumulated
inside, due to possible temperature ranges between day and night.
We therefore advise you to always power the Ticket Dispenser
and adjust the thermostat knob to 22°C.

We must underscore the fact that every equipment for treating
tickets and cards in the ParkLite system uses this type of unit.
The various devices of the system (Ticket Dispenser, Ticket
Reader, Cash Desk, etc) make use of this control board with
thesamermware.Thefunctiontowhichtheequipmentis
addressed, is acquired by inserting a jumper, located on the
board’s CN1 connector.
Whenever the Ticket Reader is powered up, the Cobra P.Lite
control unit controls the function to which it is delegated,
throughthejumperttedontheCN1connector,anditsets
itselftomanageallthespecieddevicesforthatuse.
Thereforethisjumpermustbecorrectlytted.
Obviously, the Ticket Reader is supplied with the jumper
already set in the right position. Fig.15 shows all the settings
whichcanbecarriedoutonthemanagementunit.Thisgure
is included in order to be used, if this board has to be replaced
on the equipment.
6.3 RS485 LINE TERMINATION
On the Cobra P.Lite board, there is a connector which makes
itpossibletota120OhmterminationresistorontheRS485
data transmission line.
Weshouldstressthatthisresistormustbettedonly if the
equipment is located on one of the ends of the line section.
UsetheCN8connectortotthisresistor.
Figure 15 shows the insertion of this characteristic.
