IPS complies. All replacement batteries on the MS1 are available for purchase. <br /> d. Batteries shall be standard "off-the-shelf' battery products available for consumers. <br /> IPS complies. <br /> e. The voltage check system for rechargeable batteries shall be integrated into the MSM reset sequence. <br /> IPS complies. The City can perform a voltage check at any time either at the machine by accessing the <br /> "Voltages" menu on the display or via the DMS. <br /> f. The City maintenance personnel shall be able to replace rechargeable batteries without the use of <br /> tools (i.e., nothing should be screwed in or otherwise constrained from removal). <br /> IPS complies. No special tools are required to replace the rechargeable battery. <br /> g. A low battery remote alarm indicator shall be included to facilitate timely replacement of batteries. <br /> IPS complies. <br /> h. If a MSM loses power (solar and/or battery), or the battery becomes depleted or disconnected, the <br /> MSM shall be able to retain all stored programming, operational, and financial audit data for a <br /> minimum period of one year. <br /> IPS complies. IPS meters use non-volatile flash memory for the secure storage of all meter event and <br /> transaction information as permitted by PA-DSS and PCI-DSS requirements. This information can be stored <br /> indefinitely. <br /> i. Proposal Deliverables - Power <br /> j. The Proposer shall describe the minimum life expectancy for both rechargeable batteries assuming <br /> the following operation parameters <br /> Operating hours are Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.: <br /> • MSMs shall transmit payment status for all types of payment (e.g., coins, credit card) to the CMS <br /> within 90 seconds after determining the transaction to be completed. <br /> The power architecture consists of a rechargeable battery system only. Primarily the system runs on <br /> converted solar power only. The rechargeable battery stores surplus solar energy and then covers the meter's <br /> energy requirements when the solar charging system is not able to satisfy part or all of the meter's energy <br /> requirement for some extended time. <br /> The MS 1 meter has been engineered to be more energy efficient, and also further optimized with solar <br /> charging process and storage design. We strongly recommend the rechargeable portion to be the OEM part <br /> IPS supplies — as it's a high quality, application specific — high performance and long life rechargeable <br /> battery which should last the maximum amount of time. <br /> Assuming there are zero hours of direct sunlight or indirect sunlight with 12 operating hours and allowing for <br /> all types of payment, the minimum life expectancy would be 40 days. This number changes with every <br /> additional hour of direct and indirect sunlight. For example, based on the current consumption of the meter, <br /> features enabled, two direct hours of sunlight and 5 hours of indirect sunlight, the battery life expectancy <br /> increases to 221 days. <br /> lc. MSM conducts, on average, 50 transactions per day. <br /> • MSM backlight is activated by any button push or by initiating the payment (e.g., coin drop, credit <br /> card or smart card insertion). <br /> * NFC payment mode is activated by any button push. <br /> REV: 05-05-16 JS <br /> Page 58 of 177 <br /> ATTY/AGR.2016.094/IPS Group <br />
