Mounting
Unit is placed on the bus by mean of fast mounting supports, to which
it is insured through a customizable key lock. No tools are required
to mount and dismount the unit. Electrical connection is contextual
with insertion (no manual connector insertion is required). Cables
are protected and not accessible from outside.
All F240s can be supplied with 3 different types of mounting system:
• PSA, industry standard mounting system for electronic validators
F240 is a family of validators composed by F240/P, F240A and F240B
series.
• F240/P is a plain paper validator that can replace any traditional
electromechanical obliterator but that can be upgraded to be-
come F240A intelligent, electronic validator, even at a later time;
• F240A is an intelligent, electronic validator offering great flexibil-
ity and configurability;
• F240B is similar to F240A with the differences stated in this docu-
ment.
Generally speaking:
• choose F240/P for obliterator replacement and then upgrade it to
F240A when you subsequently need an electronic validator;
• choose F240B base model when you want at once a paper tickets
and contactless validator. F240B has furthermore graphic dis-
play, suitable also for non Latin alphabets, but cannot accept old
contact smart card.
All F240 validators can be ordered for 3 different legacy mounting
supports; F240/P can moreover be equipped with emulating soft-
ware for most common old style validators. Other minor differences
among models are described in this document.
F240 validators fully integrate with any other AEP on board device
and with ET - The Easy Ticketing, AEP automatic fare collection sys-
tem. Like any other AEP product, F240 are open. AEP can supply
interface and development kits (except for F240/P), as well as sup-
port, for writing customized applications and integrating with third
party systems.
Note:
“/P” indicates the presence of paper ticket validation unit (see
below “Ordering information”). F240A is an upgraded F240/P, so
it always has paper ticket validation unit (F240A/P). F240B could in
theory be ordered also without “/P” fitting but in this case other AEP
products, like Futura 3A, are a better choice.
