Rice Lake’s ATK Automated Ticketing Kiosk System can be used in a single- or multi-kiosk configuration.
Single Configuration
The single configuration can be used for both the weigh-in and weigh-out functions. Trucks can proceed directly to
the scale without the driver ever having to exit the vehicle. Tare weights can be established as often as required, per
transaction, or set up to expire after a longer period of time. The driver may interact with the kiosk to change load
information such as customer, job, destination, or product. After the truck is loaded, it returns to the scale and
weighs out using the same kiosk to capture the truck’s loaded weight and print the ticket.
Multi-Kiosk Configuration
The multi-kiosk configuration uses standard, non-printing kiosks as well as ticket printing kiosks, scales, and silo
load-out systems to automate the loading of material in the trucks. Trucks check in to the yard and are directed to
the correct location, depending on the required product or dumping area. Lane verification kiosks check to ensure
the truck is at the correct location before allowing the loading or unloading process to begin. The truck is weighed
and the ticket is saved to a ticket stack. When the driver reaches the print ticket kiosk, the ticket is retrieved from
the stack and printed.
There are five ways to access the kiosk system:
• RFID Card Reader
• Number Keypad
• Number Keypad/Card Reader
• Smart Pass Antenna
• Smart Pass and HID Tags

2.0 Installation
The ATK Automated Ticketing Kiosk System consists of three units:
• ATK Printer Kiosk
• ATK Load Assignment Kiosk
• ATK Vehicle ID Kiosk
Note
Depending on your individual needs, you may have a setup consisting of one, two, or all three units. You may
also have more than one of each unit being installed along with accessories such as traffic lights or remote
messaging display.
2.1 Installing the Printer Kiosk
The printer kiosk is designed to accommodate a wide variety of commonly used printers. It is shipped without a
printer to allow the selection of a printer that would be most beneficial.
Installation consists of three processes: mounting the unit, installing the desired printer, and connecting power and
Ethernet/serial cable.
2.1.1 Installing the Printer
Depending on which printer is selected, printer installation within the ATK Printer Kiosk may vary. Consult
individual printer documentation to ensure the printer is installed correctly.
Accessing the Printer
Once the printer is installed, it can be accessed via the front panel printer access door. This sliding door is locked
from the inside; a security pin must be pulled to release the lock; while the pin is being pulled, the door can be slid
upwards. The pin is located inside the kiosk, at the top of the access door (see Figure 2-1).

connected. Refer to Figure 2-3 for the location of these connections, and plug in the power and Ethernet cables
accordingly. The rest of the wiring comes pre-connected.

3.0 Check-In And Check-Out Procedures
There are several check-in and check-out methods using the ATK Kiosk System (RFID card reader, number
keypad, number keypad/card reader combo, smart pass antenna, smart pass and HID tags).
3.1 RFID Card Reader
Radio frequency identification (RFID) stores and retrieves data by using a special RFID card/badge.
Figure 3-1. RFID card reader
To check-in or check-out using this method:
1. Come to a complete stop and place the RFID badge in front of the card reader (See Figure 3-1).
2. When the badge has been read successfully, the LED lights change from red to green.
3. Proceed to the appropriate location.
3.2 Number Keypad
The number keypad uses a personal identification number (PIN) to store and retrieve data.
Figure 3-2. Number keypad
To check-in or check-out using this method:
1. Come to a complete stop and use the numeric keypad to enter your personal identification number (PIN).
2. Proceed to the appropriate location.

Check-In And Check-Out Procedures 5
3.3 Number Keypad/RFID Card Reader
Some kiosk systems are equipped with a combination number keypad/RFID card reader, providing the option of
using either method described in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 for storing and retrieving data.

3.4 Smart Pass Antenna
The Smart Pass Antenna allows drivers to check-in and check-out without stopping. It automatically detects
vehicles containing Smart Pass Access Cards at speeds up to 70 mph.
