Set Fee Mode
This category is used to select how the parking fee is calculated and displayed to the customer. The
FEE ON ENTRY and FEE ON EXIT modes determine the charges based on the time zone and fees set
in the SET FEES category. Both of these modes display a flat fee to the customer. The difference is
that the voice prompting has been tailored for a customer either entering the lot or exiting the lot. The
FEE BY TIME mode is used in conjunction with the Hamilton Time Pass system, which calculates the
fee, based on the amount of time the customer has been parked. If this mode is selected the customer
is first prompted to enter a code from the ticket received on entry. The GL-ACW-P then transmits this
code to the Time Pass controller where the fee is calculated and returned for display to the customer.
Set Fees
When operating in the FEE ON ENTRY or FEE ON EXIT mode, this category is used to program the
price for each of the nine parking selections available on the GL-ACW-P. The values can be anything
from $0.25 to $99.75 programmable in $.25 increments.
The nine parking selections are numbered 0-8. The Base Fee or the Fee that will be charged the major-
ity of time is set in position 0.
Additional fees that will be charged for specific events or days will be entered in positions 1-8.
You must keep in mind that when programming in positions 1-8 that position 1 will override position 0,
position 2 will override position 0 & 1, position 3 will override position 0, 1 & 2 and so on. The larger
position number will always override a lower position number.
Example:
•
If you wish to have three different pricing levels programmed at your lot ($5 for daytime
Monday – Friday 6AM- 5:30PM, $2 for night time Monday – Friday 5:30PM – 6AM and
$10 weekends 6AM Saturday – 6AM Monday).
•
The Monday – Friday 6AM-5:30PM would be the Base Fee programmed in position 0.
•
The night fee (Monday – Friday 5:30PM – 6AM) would be programmed in position 1.
•
Finally place the weekend fee in position 2.
NOTE: Always keep in mind that the larger position number will always
override a lower position number.
Set Lost Ticket Fee
This category is used when operating in the FEE BY TIME mode as part of the Hamilton Time Pass
system. It allows an operator to set a fixed fee that will be charged whenever a customer enters the
lost ticket code of *1234. With appropriate signage at the lot, this fixed code can be used by a cus-
tomer that may have lost the ticket that was issued to them when they entered the parking lot. Usu-
ally the Lost Ticket Fee would be set to the highest amount likely to be charged for parking in the
lot. This eliminates any incentive for a customer to use the lost ticket code instead of the code on the
ticket he was issued; while still providing a method for someone that has truly lost their ticket to
make payment and exit the lot. The Lost Ticket Fee can be set to any value from $0.25 to $99.75
programmable in $0.25 increments. If you do not want to use this feature it can also be set to DIS-
ABLED which causes the *1234 code to be ignored.
