Octopus System Description
System Overview
The 3SI Octopus ATM Defense System is a patented wireless system designed to
protect automatic teller machines (ATMs) from theft (pull-out) and break-in attacks. The
system is comprised of three main components: a Monitor and Control Unit (MCU), up
to 6 Cassette Staining Units (CSU), and an iButton Key Reader. The MCU is located in
the main ATM safe area, and monitors the ATM for theft or break-in. The CSU is located
within the currency cassette, and provides the ability to stain the currency in the event of
attack - thus rendering the money useless to the attackers. The iButton Key Reader
provides a secure method of accessing and controlling the MCU state (as defined below),
and contains an LED to provide status of the present operational state (see below). The
system is designed for continuous monitoring and protection of cassette-based ATM
currency for a period of two years without system maintenance or service interruption.
The MCU is powered by a plug-in Power Adapter, but also has an internal rechargeable
battery which will provide backup in case of power loss. The CSUs are powered by an
internal battery pack which provides maintenance free operation for a full two years. The
small dimensions of the MCU allow it to be placed almost anywhere within the ATM
safe, while the small bracket design of the CSU allows for fast field installation with
minimal cassette modification.
The Octopus system offers two modes of protection:
Auto-Arm mode - Auto-Arm mode is the default mode, and provides for theft
(pull-out) protection only.
Door-Bolt mode - Door-Bolt mode is optional, and provides additional protection
against break-in by monitoring the proper opening/closing of the door dead-bolt.
The door-bolt option must be specified at the time of ordering since additional
installation components are required.
The Octopus system offers several optional features to enhance the detection and alarm
capabilities of the system. (Refer to Appendix F for details.)
Operational States
The Octopus system has 5 operational states: Disabled, Enabled, Arming Delay, Armed,
and Activation. Each of these states is indicated by a specific iButton LED color:
Disabled State – LED Off
When in the Disabled state, the system is essentially OFF and will not monitor for an
ATM attack. The Disabled state is the only state in which serial communications can be
established with the MCU via the computer serial port.
Octopus Installation & User Manual
5
Enabled State – LED Green
The Enabled state is applicable only to an Octopus system operating in the Door-Bolt
mode. When both the door and door dead-bolt have been properly opened, the iButton
LED will turn green indicating that the system is enabled but not armed. The system
proceeds to the armed state (see below) when both the door and door dead-bolt are
properly closed.
Arming Delay (or “Pre-Armed”) State – LED Flash Red / Green
Prior to arming there is a delay called the ―Arming Delay‖. The delay is 5 seconds for
Auto-Arm mode, and 5 minutes if the optional Door-Bolt mode. During the arming delay
the system is not monitoring for an attack, and the iButton LED will flash red then green.
Armed State – LED Red
When in the Armed state, the system is monitoring for attack. The iButton LED will be
red. If the ATM is attacked, the system will activate (see below) and stain the ATM
currency.
Activation State – LED Rapid Flash Red
When the system has detected an attack on the ATM, the MCU commands the CSU to
activate and stain the currency. The iButton LED will rapidly flash red. The activation
state can be reset by using an iButton Key (see iButton description below). In addition,
the following optional features will activate (refer to Optional Features, Appendix F):
Optional Bank Alarm Interface: If configured for external bank alarm interface,
the MCU’s normally closed contacts will open, thereby activating the external
bank alarm.
Optional Internal Siren: If the Internal Siren is installed, the siren will sound on
activation. After 15 minutes, the siren will cease.
Optional Note-Stop: If the Note-Stop module is installed, the ATM will be
disabled and will not dispense bills.
Daily Operating Procedures
Regardless of the protection mode being used (Auto-Arm or Door-Bolt), normal daily
operating procedures for the ATM itself are not affected. The Octopus system will
automatically arm and disarm as the machine is serviced and money cassettes are
replenished.
If physical repair of the ATM is required, maintenance personnel should be made aware
that an anti-theft protection system is installed. Prior to beginning the ATM repair, the
Octopus system should be disabled via the iButton Key (see procedures below).
System Maintenance
No special maintenance is required for the Octopus system for a period of two years.

Octopus Components
The Octopus system has 3 major components: the Monitor and Control Unit (MCU), the
Cassette Staining Units (CSU), and the iButton reader.
Monitor and Control Unit (MCU)
The Monitor and Control Unit (MCU) is mounted inside the ATM safe. The purpose of
the MCU is to monitor the status of the system and to control the activation of the
Cassette Staining Units (CSU) and other optional features. The MCU is enabled or
disabled using an I-Button Key (see iButton description below). The MCU monitors tilt
violation, proper door and door-bolt opening (if configured for the Door-Bolt mode), and
integrity of the optional breach panel. When the system detects an attack, it directs the
CSUs to activate and stain the currency, and also activates any optional alarm features.

Power Supply & Backup Battery
The MCU is powered by a UL approved plug-in 6 VDC power supply (1Amp minimum
rating). It also has a back-up battery to maintain power in the event of an ATM power
loss. The battery will provide backup power for approximately 3 weeks.
Self Test Button
On initial power up the MCU performs a self test routine. The MCU is also provided with
a Push-To-Test (PTT) button which causes the unit to perform a self diagnostic test. If the
test returns no errors, the MCU will beep 1 time. (See Installation Procedures for
diagnostics information.)
The MCU self test also sends a test message to the CSUs. The CSU will perform its own
self diagnostic, and return 1 beep for no error and 2 beeps to indicate an error.
LED Indicators
The MCU has 4 LEDs that indicate the status of the various inputs. (See Installation
Procedures for details.)
NOTE: The LEDs are only active when the MCU is in the Disabled state and operating
on external power.
External Sensor Connection
The MCU may be connected to optional Door/Door-Bolt switches and Breach Panel
sensor. Connection is made via a terminal block on the side of the MCU. The terminal
block may be removed for easy wire connection. (See Installation Procedures for wiring
details.)

Relay Output Connection
The MCU has two RJ11 output jacks which provide relay interface to the optional
accessories such as: Internal Siren; Bank Alarm Interface; ATM Note-Stop. Both jacks
are identical in function and pin-out. (Refer to Installation Procedures for wiring details.)
Configuration Switches
The 10 MCU Configuration Switches are used to configure the operating mode and
options for the system. (Refer to the Installation Procedures for details.)
Cassette Staining Unit (CSU)
The Cassette Staining Unit (CSU) is mounted in each of the ATM currency cassettes. The
CSU utilizes a small profile mounting bracket unique to each make/model cassette. The
CSU is comprised of 4 components: Electronics, Ink Block, Spray Bar, and Mounting
Bracket. The link between the MCU and CSU is via a proprietary patented radio
frequency (RF) communications link.
The CSU contains an internal battery pack which will provide power to the CSU for two
years. The CSU Push-To-Test (PTT) button is for use by service personnel only. Once
installed in the currency cassettes, no action is required by the user.

Appendix C – Installation Procedures
1. Determine where all system components are to be mounted:
Refer to specific mounting requirements defined below. In particular the location
of the MCU must be defined so that routing of all wiring can be planned.
2. Install any optional features:
Refer to the Installation of Optional Features section below
3. Install Plug-In Power Supply:
Plug the Power Supply into an available 120 VAC Power Strip within the ATM
safe. Route the low voltage wiring (with connector) to the planned MCU location.
4. Install Door and Door-Bolt Switches (as required), and other system components
as described below:
Door Switch (Door-Bolt Mode only)
The Door Switch is a long throw-plunger switch. Its purpose is to detect the ATM safe
door position (open / closed) The Door Switch is supplied with a mounting frame with
permanent adhesive mounting tape. The Door Switch contacts are normally closed (NC)
when the door is closed.

Mounting Notes:
a) The door switch should be mounted away from the hinge side and cause no
obstruction to the service or operation of the machine.
b) Clean the surface where it will be mounted with the alcohol pad provided
c) Mount the door switch ¾ inch back from the closed face of the door when shut.
d) The door switch plunger should not impact the door where an item that moves,
slides, or might otherwise cause a shearing action to the plunger.
Door-Bolt Switch (Door-Bolt Mode only)
The Door-Bolt Switch is used to detect proper authorized opening of the ATM safe lock
dead-bolt. The Door-Bolt Switch contacts are normally open (NO) when the bolt is
locked.
Mounting Notes:
a) The Door-Bolt switch should detect bolt movement, and if possible be wired in
parallel with the electronic lock’s Normally Open (NO) output.
b) Customer should provide instructions for attaching to their lock. The contact used
should be NO (normally open) when the bolt is locked and NC (normally closed)
when the bolt is unlocked. This mirrors the operation of our door-bolt switch and
ensures that either switch closure signals the MCU to disarm its protection.
c) Door-Bolt switch brackets of various designs are available. Some machines may
require a custom fabrication which cannot be provided at installation. If this is the
case, install the system as Auto-Arming, and provide pictures, make & model to
3SI Engineering. Re-schedule door-bolt installation giving at least 2 weeks for
3SI to fabricate and provide a new bracket assembly.
d) Route all wiring away from moving parts and secure with wire-ties.

iButton Reader
Mount the iButton Reader module in a place that is easy to access and highly visible
to any ATM service technicians. It should be located inside the lockable outer ATM
cabinet for security, but outside of the ATM safe. Route the iButton cable to the
MCU location.
MCU
Mount the MCU using hook-and-latch mounting tape, and attach all wiring.
Mounting Notes:
a) Communication between the MCU and CSU is the best when the MCU has an
unobstructed path to the CSUs. (Note: The antenna on the MCU is on the opposite
side from the PTT button.)
b) Always mount the MCU with the power plug facing up to prevent accidental
unplugging.
c) The MCU PTT button and LEDs will generally face to the rear of the ATM. They
are not intended for customer use.
d) Ideally the MCU should be mounted on the non-hinge side, forward (as close to
door as possible), and low on the mounting wall. If the MCU is to be installed on
the hinge side of the ATM, it should be placed as far back from the door as
possible.
e) Do not place the MCU against the rear wall of the ATM where it is obstructed by
the bill picker. In 2-cassette machines this location may be acceptable, as long as
the unit is mounted low on the rear wall.

The Internal Siren Module is a self-powered 128 dB audio siren. The siren will alert
onlookers and possible witnesses that the ATM has been attacked. Once activated, the
siren will require battery replacement. The siren uses a standard 9V alkaline battery.
Breach Sensor
The Breach Sensor is used to detect drill or torch attacks on the ATM safe walls. The
circuit is normally closed until the sensor is penetrated or broken. The sensor is wired to
J31 pin 1 and J10 pin 2. The normally closed circuit is made up of a Mesh Panel (for
wide areas), and flat Taperwire (for small spot protection).
Mesh Panel
The Mesh Panel is an adhesive panel whose purpose is to provide penetration protection
for ATM safe walls. The customer should provide details as to the most likely methods of
attack and desired protection areas.

Note-Stop
The Note-Stop option adds the capability to shut down the ATM in the event of an attack
(so that it will not dispense money). Installation of the Note-Stop requires interruption of
the ATM internal power, and requires coordination with the ATM manufacturer.
