The LockGuard can only then be turned to display the high security lock.

Chipcards can also be programmed to allow access to one or both compartments. The battery compartment is opened from within the maintenance compartment via a pullcord.

Additional information and rate tables may be placed on a handy side placard as well.

One way to setup a PSA.1256 parking meter is to use the ChipWriter software. This software is used in an offline approach (sneaker net via chip cards) to program complex rate structures, design custom tickets, control what is displayed on the LCD, and create access chip cards to name a few.
The Intelligent Service Management and Accounting System (ISMAS) is a online Back Office software that collates, stores, and saves all parking meter accounting data and telemetry data. The live status of all machines can be seen in one view. ISMAS is modular in nature and can be setup in a network for many users or on a single personal computer. Users can create reports and statistics while at the same time receive alerts from any parking meter. Paper low, bill stacker low, door open, and coin box full are a few alerts the system supports. Alerts can be sent out via SMS text message to a cell phone or email.
