CITEA Multibay

The CITEA – Multibay - parking ticket machine

This special model stands out due to its ability to manage car parking spaces. For users, this means that it is very versatile and as well as using it for monitoring car parks it can also be used for the following: e.g. for boat moorings, bike or motorbike boxes / parking areas. The modular design of the machines already provides, in the basic version, performance at the highest technical level. To check payment has been made, a control document is printed out for the inspector, which clearly shows where and how long the ticket is valid.

A parking ticket is therefore not required. In addition, a receipt can also be printed out. Instead of entering the parking bay, it is however also possible to enter a car registration number which is printed on the ticket and therefore transfer of the parking time to the next person is almost certainly prevented.

• Use on and off street
• Marked parking spaces can be used immediately
• Control at the parking ticket machine

Functionality

Functionality for the user and the operator is the focal point of all considerations As well as the four line, alphanumeric display screen, four additional function keys and the user-friendly design, the machine is particularly impressive owing to its different payment options and to its extensive setting options. An additional alphanumeric keyboard is built-in for inputting the parking bay or registration number which together with the large display, makes inputting easy for the people using the machine. Conveniently configure to the PC, transfer settings, switch on, all done.

Security

A real safe, in conjunction with a strengthened steel substructure and base framework represent the mechanical Hectronic safety concept which secures revenue. Break ins and break in attempts are futile. Customer specific locks guarantee individual security. High performance coin checkers and electronic slot barriers with locks protect against counterfeit money and attempts at manipulation. Self locking money cassettes guarantee quick and secure transportation of the money.

Wireless and LAN connections transmit alert messages if an authorised attempt is made to access the machine. Use of chip cards protects against fraud as they are virtually unforgeable.
