Operation and Maintenance Guide, v. 1.5
4)
The cleaning solution from the card cleaner manufacturer (PRESAT) can be purchased in
volume. It should be put into a spray bottle and applied to the end of the card reader
cleaner as required to keep them moist and effective. Normal isopropyl alcohol should
not be used as it contains a large percentage of water and will damage the card readers
with extended use.
5)
Service technicians must pay close attention to the cleaners and their condition as they
work. If excessive dirt and grime build-up is present, the card reader can be cleaned with
a rag and more cleaning solution applied. If the card reader cleaner card is extremely
dirty or worn, it should be discarded and a new cleaner used.
Equally effective is the LPS® CFC Free Electro Contact Cleaner. The LPS® brand
contact cleaner is sold in an aerosol format and can be sprayed onto a dry cleaner card.
LPS® products are widely available.
9.19 Weekly Maintenance
Meters that have a high card usage benefit from a “self cleaning” action created every time a card
is inserted into the card reader. However, lack of card use allows dust, dirt, moisture and other
environmental elements to build on the cards readers causing premature corrosion. This
corrosion can cause serious card reader as well as card system problems.
High card usage failures can be expected on meters equipped with card readers that have been
in service for an extended period without cards being used. Meters that utilize cards and are
located in areas where usage is very low or non-existent should have the card readers checked
and cleaned weekly.
9.20 Handling, Transportation and Storage of Meters
While the meter is designed to withstand many of the day-to-day situations that may arise,
precaution should be taken when transporting meters from one area to another. Damage can
result from improper handling, and when not transported and/or stored properly.
 Care should be taken while handling the meter once outside of the protective
housing. The meter should never be held or grabbed by the LCD display. Grabbing
the meter by the LCD display may result in damage to the display and will void the
product warranty. The display can be damaged causing confusing messages from
the display.
Always avoid contact with the LCD when handling a meter.
 Avoid dropping the meter while handling. Dropping onto a hard surface may cause
damage to both the main board and the coin chute.
 When removing parking meters from a post, or when removing the post/parking
space, never leave the complete housing/meter combination attached to the post.
Doing so could result in serious damage to the Solo and the housing itself. If a
parking space is eliminated or removed, first remove the Solo from the housing,
placing it in a safe container for transport. Next, remove the housing from the post,
