DV30 SA - Offline Motorized Validator
Technical guide
The DV30 SA offline validator can be used for validating parking tickets by printing an additional
“validation / discount “ barcode on them. Currently the device supports up to four different validations
together.
Before we go further, it is very important to make sure that design/layout of the tickets issued at the
location was done properly as follows:
-
The rectangle for the stickers should be centered in the middle of the ticket
-
Please check by folding the ticket in half. The folding line should split the sticker rectangle right in
the middle as shown on the picture below. This will insure proper alignment of the printed
validation barcode regardless of which end of the ticket (top or bottom) is inserted into the DV-
30-SA validator.
The purpose of this guide is to explain the steps needed for setting up and programming the device
along with the corresponding steps under the management software.
1.
Updating the firmware.
The firmware’s file name is:
Printer_LT281_VL_OFFLINE.hex
It is usually located in the general/printer subfolder of each release.
Under the programming software (AVR Studio) the type of the microchip chosen for this device
should be:
AtMega128
-
Disconnect the front buttons’ black connector from the circuit board as it is shown below:
-
plug the AVR programmer to the connector shown on the pictures below:

Now the devices firmware could be updated with the file mentioned above.
2.
Programming .
As it was mentioned above, the device supports up to four different validations together.
After flashing the firmware, the two lights on front side of the device may blink continuously.
The blinking will stop once we program the device’s settings properly with at least one
validation.
A)
Creating the desired validations/discounts under the management software:
-
Go to: tools/tables/constant discount table
-
create the desired validations/discounts as it is shown below:
IMPORTANT !!! : There are two different methods for programming the DV-30-SA after creating
the discounts in the “constant discount table”. The method to be used depends of the
software/firmware version used at the site.
-
If the software/firmware release
used at the site is from
Oct.14.2014 ( Smartpark version
V3.7(22), firmware version X1.75) or older, then follow the steps shown in section “B” below.
-
If the software/firmware release
used at the site is from
Nov.13.2014 ( Smartpark version
V3.7(23), firmware version X1.76) or newer, then skip section “B” and jump to the steps shown
in section “C”.
B) Programming steps for software/firmware version Nov.13.2014
( Smartpark version V3.7(23), firmware version X1.76) or newer:
-
Connect the DV-30-SA device to the
parking garage server
running
Smartpark via serial cable as it is shown on the picture below:
-
Under the Smartpark software click tools-> validator programming and
follow the steps shown on the screenshot below:

There are up to four combinations of the front panel LEDs which are listed
below. After a restart the default LED state is:
-
RED light – SOLID,
GREEN light – OFF
-
the encoder is ready to print validation #1
By pressing one of the buttons the LED state can be changed to:
-
RED light – BLINKING,
GREEN light – OFF
-
the encoder is ready to print validation #2
-
RED light – OFF,
GREEN light – SOLID
-
the encoder is ready to print validation #3
-
RED light – OFF,
GREEN light – BLINKING
-
the encoder is ready to print validation #4
The picture below shows a un-validated and a validated ticket :
Unproper alignment of the validation barcode is shown below. It could be corrected by changing
the validator’s
settings and eventually by changing the entry tickets design.
