1.0. Introduction
ACR321 – Ticket Validator is designed specifically for the use in
Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) systems for public transport, e.g.
for buses, ferries, trams, railway and other transportation means.
ACR321 supports all smart cards/tags compliant to ISO14443 Type
A & B, Mifare, and Near Field Communication (NFC) standard. By
virtue of the embedded powerful 32bit ARM 11 processor, ACR321
enables a high speed transaction processing and transaction records
collection. ACR321 supports varies advance connection modes for
data transfer, including Wi-Fi, WCDMA, GSM/GPRS and USB
thumb drive for data collection. It also equips with GPS enabling you
to locate the vehicle, fleet management and set fare flexibly with
reference to distance.
There are four SAM card slots for holding Purchase SAM cards to
ensure the security and integrity of the transactions. This allows
users to use their own unique secret encryption algorithm.
With its compact, light and trendy design, ACR321 allows users to

3.2. Battery
A rechargeable Li-ion battery supplies energy to the device once the external power source
cannot supply power to the device. So, transactions can still be processed even the power
supply of the bus is out of order. The battery locates at back of the device. In order to change the
battery, turn the screw in the circle in the figure below to left to remove the battery cover. Follow
the direction of the red arrow to take away the cover.
Then, unplug the battery and a new battery can be replaced in the carrier.
The battery is recharged once the external power source resumes supplying power to the device.
