Payment Not Accepted
There are two situations where payment is not accepted: Free Parking and No Parking.

when parking is not enforced. The
No Parking
display is used for Tow-Away or Street

turned off outside of the hours of enforcement to conserve battery power.
The LEDs on the front and rear of the meter operate the same way. Below is the default
configuration for the LEDs. These operating features can be modified via the
