When a meter has a card and/or a coin jam, both AMBER lights will flash.
Keypad
The M5 keypad has four, push buttons: + TIME, - TIME, OK, and CANCEL. They are
used for credit card, debit card, and smart card transactions. After a user inserts and
removes a card, he or she will have the option of adding more time by pressing the +
TIME button, choosing less time with the - TIME button, canceling the transaction using
CANCEL or confirming it by pressing OK. These buttons are not required for coin
transactions. The buttons are also used to navigate through the various diagnostic
options (discussed below).
The IPS M5 uses mechanical buttons rated at more than 200,000 cycles, which
translates into more than 10 years of use. The buttons are also completely
environmentally sealed to prevent moisture from affecting performance. The buttons are
both labeled with symbols, words and are color coded to provide the most intuitive user
experience possible. Additionally, the labels on the buttons are cast (imbedded)
completely through the button so that wear and tear will not result in the label degrading
over time.
Primary Function:
