ACR350
Secure Validator with QR code Scanner

The ACR350 Secure Validator is an advanced version of the ACR330 Validator, designed specifically
for Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) systems to offer the convenience of cashless and secure payment
in buses, ferries, trams, railways, and other transportation modes. This validator enables high-speed
transaction processing through 13.56 MHz contactless (RFID) technology. It supports ISO 14443
Type A and B cards, MIFARE®, and FeliCa. Certified with PCI PTS 5.1 with SRED, it complies with
major payment standards such as PBOC Level 1 (Contactless) and EMV™ Levels 1 and 2 (Contactless),
including MasterCard® Contactless and Visa PayWave®, offering flexibility and security for open-loop
payment systems.


The embedded barcode scanner facilitates transactions using printed or mobile barcodes and other
QR payment applications. It features advanced wireless connectivity options for data transfer, such
as GSM/GPRS, 3G/4G, and Wi-Fi. Additionally, an optional GNSS feature allows for vehicle location,
fleet management, and flexible distance-based fare settings.


To protect the bus validator from harsh environments, it has an IK08 rating for mechanical impact,
an IP65 rating for dust and water protection, and complies with Military Standard MIL-STD-810 for
shock and vibration. Control signals and ignition sense are included, while Bluetooth support is available
only via an external Bluetooth 5.0 USB dongle4. With these features, the ACR350 is an excellent
choice for transit operators.
