Page 12: General Information And Concepts
General Information and Concepts The chapters listed below provide high-level and general information for the IPS Group, Inc SSPM. SSPM Operating States SSPM Diagnostics Mode Understanding M5™ Battery Voltages SSPM Operating States This concept topic discusses the five IPS Group, Inc. SSPM operating states. - Page 13 1. Insertion of credit card payment method. 2. Pressing the keypad buttons. When environments have minimal ambient light (evening hours, indoors, garages, shaded areas, etc.), if the meter is "woken up", the back- light illuminates to help the motorist view the LCD. The SSPM indicates an expired state (payment is required) by flashing red LEDs.
-
Page 14: Paid
Paid A paid SSPM LCD alternates between the present parking rate and time limit information (default screen), and the remaining time (in the HH:MM format) and the expiration time. (Optionally the SSPM can be configured through the DMS to display negative time duration (or "grace" time) once the meter expires.) -
Page 15: Fault
Fault An SSPM can experience three types of fault operational states. 1. Cards Only 2. Coins Only 3. Out of Order The LCD alternates between the present parking rate and time limit information (default screen), and the type of fault, accordingly. Cards only If the SSPM detects a coin jam, it experiences a "Cards Only"... -
Page 16: Coins Only
Coins only If the SSPM detects a card jam, it experiences a "Coin Only" fault. While in this state the SSPM only accepts coin payments, and does NOT accept card payments. The following shows the alternating LCD messages. -
Page 17: Out Of Order
Out of order If the SSPM detects a coin jam and a card jam (i.e. both payment options are unavailable), it experiences an "Out of Order" fault. While in this state the SSPM does NOT accept coin or card payments. The following shows the alternating LCD messages. -
Page 18: Prepay
Prepay A SSPM can be configured (through the DMS) to accept payment before the start of an enforcement period, by creating a "prepay" period. A prepay periods occur within a "free parking" period, and ends when the "pay period" begins (i.e. when enforcement starts). When an SSPM receives currency while in a prepay period, the LCD shows the amount of time purchased in addition to the amount of free parking time remaining (i.e., until the pay period / enforcement starts). -
Page 19: Sspm Diagnostics Mode
SSPM Diagnostics Mode This concept topic discusses the IPS Group, Inc. SSPM Diagnostics mode. The SSPM’s Diagnostic mode is used to determine meter issues and prevent potential problems. Diagnostics modes levels The SSPM offers three levels of Diagnostics mode. Level 1 contains the least amount of sub-menus; while Level 3 offers the highest amount of sub-menus. - Page 20 Level 2 Level 2 Diagnostics mode is signified by a blank hash mark in the upper-right hand corner of the Diagnostics mode main screen. (See the red circle in the following figure.) To enter Diagnostics mode (level 2) on the SSPM, quickly insert and remove a Diagnostics card from the EMV card reader, and press √...

Page 21: Level 3
Level 3 Level 3 Diagnostics mode is signified by two blank hash marks in the upper-right hand corner of the Diagnostics mode main screen. (See the two red circles in the following figure.) To enter Diagnostics mode (level 3) on the SSPM, quickly insert and remove a Diagnostics card from the EMV card reader, and press √... -
Page 22: Sub-Menus
Faults The Faults sub-menu shows any errors reported by the meter. When a fault / error occurs, the SSPM reports it to the IPS maintenance staff (through the DMS), as an email or SMS. The report conveys the type of fault, the time it occurred, and the location of the individual SSPM. -
Page 23: Coin Test
Card Test The Card Test sub-menu allows IPS maintenance staff to verify the card reader is operating properly. During a card test, quickly insert and remove a valid credit card. The LCD shows the card type, card number, and expiration date. If this information is not displayed, the card... -
Page 24: Comms Test
Comms Test The Comms Test sub-menu allows IPS maintenance staff to test the SSPM's ability to communicate, by forcing it to “call-in” to the DMS. This test verifies that the SSPM can successfully communicate with the DMS, and updates the internal clock and available firmware / con- figurations. -
Page 25: Fault Logging
Fault Logging The Fault Logging sub-menu allows IPS maintenance staff to research all faults that are logged on a meter. Scroll through the log to view each fault, and clear them each log event This log is transmitted wirelessly to the DMS, eliminating the need for pole-site fault log collection. -
Page 26: Meter Swap
Meter Swap The Meter Swap sub-menu must be used when removing a SSPM mechanism from a pole site, and replacing it with a different mech- anism. After the new mechanism is installed, enter Diagnostics mode and scroll to Meter Swap. Press √ OK to Continue, then press — Time (less time) to confirm. -
Page 27: Voltages
Voltages The Voltages sub-menu shows the real-time power in milli-volts (mV) provided by the meter's solar panel, "Main" (rechargeable) battery , and "Backup" (non-rechargeable) battery, simultaneously. The Main battery (a lithium polymer or cylindrical lithium-ion), is permanently mounted directly on the SSPM Main PCBA. The Backup bat- tery (a lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCI2)), is a temporary battery housed and connected at the left side of the SSPM. - Page 28 OFF. If an SSPM must be "bagged" (out-of-service) for ≥ 48 hours, IPS recommends pla- cing it into Sleep mode. If an SSPM must be bagged or stored for 1 month, IPS recommends turning the meter OFF (by disconnecting the jumper (JMP0002) at JMP6 header), and / or the Back-up battery.
- Page 29 This information is intended for internal use by IPS personnel, or a customer’s authorized field technicians. The M5™ SSPM uses two different batteries: Rechargeable Main Battery Non-rechargeable Backup Battery (Large external battery) Process flow The following figure summarizes the process flow.
