ENFORCEMENT VISIBILITY -- it's what makes the APM parking meter better than pay and display, in-car meters, and cell phone parking.  You be the judge.   Without fast, efficient enforcement, your parking system will bog down with violators and you'll lose parking and enforcement revenue.

NEW $5 BILL:  If you have Greenwald smart card vending/reloading equipment, you may want to upgrade it to accept the new $5 bill.  To do so, you will need to contact Coinco direct.

Recommended Batteries:

9V alkaline batteries only have 625 mAhours capacity, and they are not rated for temperatures lower than 0ºF.  In cold extremes, they can cause meter malfunctions.  For those reasons, we recommend that 9V lithium or 4AA alkaline or lithium batteries be used in our meters.   Although the 4AA alkaline pack is also not rated for temperatures lower than 0ºF, many of our clients in the northeast have enjoyed excellent battery life with this battery pack through moderate winters.
