IPS complies. The IPS coin validator is gravity fed is designed to avoid blockages. The M5TM passes coins through the coin chute, which will deposit coins directly into the meters sealed containers in the lower vault of the meter. e. The chute shall include an anti-backup provision to prevent the retrieval of deposited coins (e.g., attached to strings, paddles, wires). IPS complies. The IPS coin discriminator has two mechanical processes to prevent coin retrieval attempts. The first is pivoting arm that allows downward coin action for coin reading. If the coin is pulled back up into the coin entry area, the arm position is pulled upward with the coin and blocks the coin path. In addition, if the coin is read and passes below the final sensor and then retrieved, a second set of fingers are activated much in the same manner as the upper pivoting arm to block the coin from re-entry into the coin discrimination area. f. The entrance to the chute shall be replaceable stainless steel to accommodate or screen out coins of various sizes. IPS complies. The entrance to the coin chute features a stainless steel plate. g. The jam alarm shall only stay Active as long as the cause of the jam is present in the coin chute. IPS complies. When an alarm is triggered the IPS meter will establish a wireless connection to the DMS. The DMS can then relay the alarm message to a distribution list of the City's choosing, which allows for alerts to be sent to those with responsibility for a specific zone or area. Alerts can be sent using email, text message or both. Once the jam has been resolved, the alert will end. h. When the coin chute detects a jam, the jams shall be recorded in the maintenance log. IPS complies. Maintenance issues are recorded in the DMS. When an alert is generated, an email or text is sent to the relevant personnel. i. Proposal Deliverable — Objects that Jam: The Proposer shall describe any objects its meters can detect. IPS coin validators and card readers both have sensors that can detect any obstruction, whether metallic or non-metallic. In either case, any object that obstructs or triggers the sensors will set an alarm, in which case, the meter will notify the client based on a notification distribution list of the customer's choice. 3. Coin Validation a. Meters shall provide a count of all coins or other metallic objects passing through the coin chute that match the programmed characteristics of valid coins to a level of accuracy of 99.5%, so 995 coins out of 1000 shall be recorded. IPS complies. IPS coin recognition accuracy consistently averages greater than 99.5%. b. The coin validation mechanism shall be programmable to accept a minimum of eight different coins and/or tokens including U.S. nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar coins. IPS complies. The M5TM accepts all US denomination coins. The City can program the acceptance of such coins in the DMS. c. The coin validation system shall accept all user-defined coins and tokens through software parameter changes only. Software changes shall be able to be sent to the meter wirelessly and via a mobile CMS and/or a handheld device. REV: 05-05-16 JS Page 101 of 177 ATTY/AGR.2016.094/IPS Group
