It informs them of how to interact with the Controller. Indicator LEDs: The four (4) indicator LEDs show the current status of the bike. These let the operator quickly know whether a bike is working, rented or in repair. Keypad: The Controller’s keypad includes ten (10) numeric keys, three (3) soft keys that correspond to content displayed on the LCD screen and two (2) large buttons for confirmation and cancelation of com- mands entered at the keypad. DEVICE CONNECTORS Female Lock Connector: A SoBi Controller requires a SoBi Lock and Social Bicycle to be useful for a bike share operator. Plug the Lock’s cable into this connector. See the SoBi Lock Operator Guide for details. SoBi Controller Operator Guide | Getting Started Programming Connector: The SoBi Controller can be reprogrammed over the air (OTA) or by connecting the device to a Windows PC running Atmel Studio 6. Reprogramming is only to be done at direction of SoBi service center staff. DC Barrel Plug: The DC barrel plug allows for rapid device charging. REMOVABLE PARTS Battery: Each SoBi Controller ships with one 4.2V Lithium Ion Battery Pack (part No. SC2-BAT-15A64V2). This battery is connected Rear Lens: Each SoBi Controller ships with a rear lens cover secured by 2 security screws. The lens cover provide operators with secure ac- cess to the Controller’s battery com- partment. When needed, remove this cover to swap batteries. Security Screws: Each SoBi Con- troller comes with two (2) custom security screws and two (2) T-10 security screws. Use these to secure the Controller to the SoBi bike. Getting to Know your Device (continued) 67 This guide will take you step-by-step through configuration and confirmation. SoBi Controller Operator Guide | Additional Information STEP 1 Insert your Controller into a Social Bicycle and connect it to your SoBi Lock. STEP 2 Secure your Controller to the Social Bicycle using the 2 security screws and a torque wrench. STEP 3 Connect the battery to power on your Controller and attach the rear lens cover to secure the battery. STEP 4 Soft reboot your Controller by entering the code provided to you by the SoBi service center staff. STEP 5 If asked: enter your SoBi Network ID and Bike ID. STEP 6 Verify that your Controller is working by using it to rent and unlock the Social Bicycle which you installed it on during Step 1. Overview SoBi Controller Operator Guide | Getting Started Why did my Controller’s indicator LEDs cycle through different colors when I turned it on? When a controller is first turned on it will establish a connection with the SoBi Platform. It will transition through a range of red, yellow, blue and green LEDs as it establishes its network connection and verifies whether it is assigned to a Bike Share network. The Controller asked me to enter my bike share program’s Network ID. Where do I find this ID? Operator staff with access to the SoBi Platform can login to see the ID of their network. The Network ID is listed at the top of the Web App. How do I know what Bike ID to assign the Controller? When first starting up a Controller it may ask you for a Network ID and a Bike ID. The Bike ID is a 3 to 4 digit number printed on the Social Bicycle onto which you are installing the Controller. How do I know if the Controller is successfully reporting GPS? You have two options for determin- ing if the Controller is connecting with GPS satellites. The first is to see if rides it records include a route. The second is to enter the appropriate Admin code to see a readout on the Controller’s LCD. Contact your SoBi service center for this keycode. My Controller does not appear to be connecting to the GSM network. What should I do? The Controller should be installed in a Social Bicycle with clear sky access or in a building by a wall iwth windows. If the Controller is located in an area (such as some building basements) without GSM signal it will not be able to connect to the SoBi Platform. How do I unlock a Social Bicycle using the Controller? Enter your 6-digit SoBi account num- ber or tap your SoBi RFID card. Then enter your 4-digit PIN. Frequently Asked Questions 89 Understanding the lights on your Controller SoBi Controller Operator Guide | Additional Information Red Indicator LEDs: The Controller is in a repair state. This prevents your bike share members from renting the bike. The bike will not show as available in the SoBi web or mobile applications and you will receive a Maintenance Record alert. To remove a Controller from the Repair state, use the SoBi web app for Operators at manage. socialbicycles.com or enter the Repair Code X9+005 at the bike. Blue Indicator LEDs: The Controller is rented by a member of your Social Bicycles Network. To know which user has your bike rented use the SoBi web app for Operators. If you need to end the rental, use the web app to cancel the hold if the bike is locked or if the bike is unlocked, insert the lockbar to end the rental. Yellow Indicator LEDs: The Controlle…
