CWT Compact S2 Installation & Maintenance Manual

The CWT Compact terminals support different means of payment and a number of payment applications.

 

Payment applications

Currently the CWT Compact offers:

1.pre-payment, that is, the user pays in advance and receives a ticket

A special pre-payment application is Code Payment which requires that the user enters a code or number, for instance a license plate number. The user pays at the terminal using an available payment option.

2.Post-payment, that is, the user pays afterwards for the time used and receives a ticket depending on the configuration.

The user checks in on the terminal on arrival with her credit or fleet card and checks out and pays when she leaves. All steps of this process can be followed in the WebOffice Post Payment menu. The feature is licensed.

 

Payment methods

The card and coin payment systems work independently of each other. Should one payment unit be out of order for some reason, the other payment unit will remain operable. A message in the display informs the customer about available payment methods.

 

Cards

CWT Compact terminals offer the possibility to pay with credit/debit magnetic stripe cards, smart cards (chip cards), contact less cards, and hybrid cards using various card reader configurations.

The standard card reader in CWT Compact is a hybrid reader capable of reading all track-2 ISO payment magstripe cards (common credit/debit cards) and ISO smart cards (chip cards). The reader requires manual card insertion and retraction of the card which enables the customer to remove the card if the terminal or transaction fails. It is also possible to install card reader solutions to be used with certain chip card applications, such as EMV2. The reader automatically detects if an inserted card is a magnetic card or a chip only card and the card functions are adapted accordingly.

To verify that a card is valid, the card number is evaluated according to prescribed rules before being checked against a blacklist containing non-valid card numbers.

 

Coins

The CWT Compact supports coin payment. The terminal uses various techniques for rejecting and disposing of foreign objects and not accepted coins. The coins used for payment are collected in a coin box that needs to be emptied or replaced on site.

 

Cash collection system

Flowbird provides a complete system for secure collection and transport of coins. With this system, the coins will never be displayed at any stage of the collection process.
