VST/PST System ETU Product Overview
P/N 1100035 page 2-1
2. VST/PST System ETU Product Overview
2.1 Product Description
The VST/PST Controller supports both long-range vehicle smart tags operating at
900 MHz and passive proximity transponders operating at 13.56MHz.
It’s main use is Smart Card/Tag Payment System.
It can serve as interface to a host computer or be used as a standalone unit.
At the heart of the VST/PST controller lies OTI’s MCI2 PCB.
The MCI2 is a microprocessor based smart transceiver supporting two 13.56MHz
transmission channels, so as to enable communication with PST tags carried by users.
The plug in VST Transceiver mounted on the MCI enables communication with VST in the
vehicle.
2.2 General description:
The VST/PST system comprises three elements:
• VST/PST Controller
• VST tag
• PST tag
The VST portion of the system support communication between the VST tag and the
controller over distances of up to few tens of meters, utilizing 915MHz communication
frequency.
The PST portion of the system support communication of the PST tag and the
controller over distances of up to 10cm, utilizing 13.56MHz frequency.
The Controller support one VST communication channel and two PST communication
channels.
It also support RS232 communication to host channel and one signaling channel
comprising two indication signals.
The system is used to perform “transaction” of data between the VST or PST tags and
the controller for various applications.
2.3 Additional details:
2.3.1 Power supply:
Controller – 110/220VAC.
VSR tag – 3.6V battery at few tens of mA.
PST tag – no independent power source. It draws its power from the controller’s
antenna transmitted power. Current consumption is in the range of few mA.

3. Installation Requirements
• The intended application of the system is for the commercial and or industrial uses.
• The product can not be sold to the general public, but only to the system’s Operating
Company. When the system is sold by the Operating Company to the customers, the
Product is installed only by the professional installers, qualified (“licensed”) by the
company for this purpose.
• The installation must be controlled and follow the requirement of “Installation Manual”.
Each potential installer receives special training, which is a condition for receiving the
license from the Operating Company to become a “licensed” installer. The installation
itself is a complex procedure, as described in the “Installation Manual”. It includes not
only the mechanical installation, but additional procedure of interconnection to the main
computer via modem, software initialization, registration of the specific Product in the
Operating Company’s control center, performance of the initial test procedure. All these
are the tasks of the Product installer, which can only performed by specially trained
professional.
system requires installation of certain electrical equipment that must be performed by a licensed
electrician.
120VAC supply to the VST/PST Controller must be done in accordance with National
Electric Code (NEC) requirements.
Installation and wiring of VST antenna must be performed by a qualified technician.
The VST antenna requires separate grounding Use 10AWG wire to connect between
the antenna mounting bracket and ground.
.Note: Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced
installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes
and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government
regulatory authorities. Failure to do so my void the OTI product warranty and
my expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities.
OTI and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or
violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or
antennas.
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor
antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those antennas
certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those
certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules
CFR47 part 15.204."
The installer should configure the output power level of antennas, according to
country regulations and per antenna type.

3.1 PST Antenna Wiring.
The PST antenna in the window panel is wired to the VST/PST Controller via BNC
connector near the window panel. Wiring should be performed by qualified technetium
only.
The PST antenna in the window panel has a 23” coax cable terminated with a BNC
connector.
Connect this cable to a 22 foot long RG174 coax cable routed through protected
conduit and connected to the VST/PST Controller MCI terminal strip (refer to Figure 3-
2: VST/PST Signal Wiring).
THE ANTENNA CABLES MUST NOT BE CUT! They must be used in the length
provided.
Note:
After connecting the PST antenna cable to the cable from the VST/PST controller, wrap
3M Scotch-Seal 2229 Mastic Tape over the BNC connectors to seal them against
moisture
3.2
Supervisor Antenna wiring
The Supervisor antenna should be placed near the payment window terminal printer. It
is intended as interface between the Supervisor card and the system.
Secure antenna in place with mounting screws.
Make sure the antenna is not mounted over or placed near a metallic surface!
The antenna is supplied with a 23 feet 11 inch RG174 coax cable. The coax cable
should be routed through protected conduit and connected to the VST/PST Controller
MCI terminal strip (Refer to Figure 3-2: VST/PST Signal Wiring).
THE ANTENNA CABLE MUST NOT BE CUT! It must be used in the length
provided.
3.3 VST Antenna wiring
