Cora Telemetry Quick Start Guide
Introduction
This document details the installation, assignment and use of the Cora
telemetry device when combined with a cashless credit card bezel.
This guide assumes that the operator has completed the on-boarding
process required to establish a banking relationship with one of our
available credit card processors.
Ease of Installation(EOI)
Once the physical installation is complete and the Cora is powered on,
the device will automatically assign with our Ease of Installation feature.
This will ensure that any cashless transactions are properly credited to
the operator.
VendMAX
For customers using VendMAX, you must continue to use VIX to assign
your telemeters or you can use the Crane Cashless app (available in the
Apple Store or Google Play Store).
Although many of the tests are performed within the VIX program,
Cora’s Diagnostic Mode is available for all customers. Minimum
software version required for the VIX handheld is build 297.
Components
Verify that all the components listed on page two are present before
beginning installation.
Cora should be powered on and communicating 100% of the time. We
do not recommend using cora with energy saving devices that interrupt
power to the machine.
For technical assistance please contact our support team at 1-800-6288363 Monday through Friday, from 8am to 5pm Eastern.

Installation
1. Power off the machine.
2. Identify installation location for the cora:
 Determine the best location for the antenna(s). Ensure
they are placed as far as possible from interference
sources like ballasts and transformers.
 Where possible and antenna should be placed in an
area where metal structure is limited. Please refer to
4G External Antenna Installation on the following page
for more information.
 There should be no interference from the motion of the
machine components and cables, nor should movement
cause harnesses to flex excessively.
3. Remove any dirt and dust from the installation area and secure
the modules’ magnets to the machine.
4. Locate the MDB harness from the validator to the control board
(VMC), separate the two MDB connectors, and connect the
MDB harness from the cora to both connectors.
a. Connect all the harnesses as shown in the diagram on
page five. Each connector only matches its appropriate
outlet.
b. The connection from the MDB harness to the VMC
must be the first one in line (closest to the board) then
all other MDB peripherals, ending with the coin
mechanism.
5. Locate the DEX socket coming from the VMC and plug the male
DEX plug from the cora to this connector.
6. Connect the harness from the cashless bezel to the connector
on the side of the cora.
7. Dress the harnesses so that there is no stress placed on any of
the connections and secure with a zip tie. Do not tighten zip tie
until the unit is installed in machine. Adding a service loop to
the harnesses near the connections will reduce the stress on the
connectors.
Cora Telemetry Quick Start Guide
8. Dress the rest of the harnesses and secure them in place with
zip ties.
9. Restore power to the machine and allow at least three minutes
for the Cora to complete the assignment process. This can be
monitored on the cashless bezel display. See Assignment
Messages on page six.
4G External Antenna Installation
1. Find a mounting location that will not interfere with the
operation of the vending machine.
2. Power OFF the vending machine, if it is not already off.
3. Thoroughly clean the machine surface around the area where
the 4G antenna will be installed.
4. Drill a 5/8” hole through the top of the vending machine. If
there’s already an antenna hole, widen it to 5/8”, do not drill a
second hole.
5. Thread the antenna cable through the top of the machine and
attach the 4G connector as shown here:
5a. Thread the nut and washer
onto the antenna cable, then
insert the cable into the blue
connector.
5b. Insert the locking tab into the
connector and press the tab down,
to lock the cable in place.
6. Secure the antenna by tightening the lock washer and nut on
the antenna post.
7. Plug the assembled 4G connector into the cora.

Assignment & Messages
During the assignment process, Cora performs numerous checks
(outlined below). These messages will be displayed on a cashless bezel
if using Ease of Installation (EOI) or Crane Cashless App. Messages will
start once cora has completed its boot up.
If you are a VendMAX customer using a handheld with VIX, you will
receive the message “Use VIX to Assign.” At this point, connect your VIX
handheld and complete the assignment.

Diagnostics
Diagnostics can be used to obtain device information such as signal
strength, DEX validation or performing a cashless system test.
Start diagnostics by pressing the wrench button on the unit five times or
swiping a Technician Card. The following diagnostics information will
cycle through the display. Note: The Technician Card does not perform a
test-vend, but it does test cashless authorization.

Regulatory
CORA FCC ID: QP8CORABT
Cora series Modular Data Port uses radio energy to
communicate vending transaction activities to a remote host. CPI
has not approved any changes or modifications to Cora. Any
changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. See 47 CFR Sec. 15.21
The Cora series complies with 47 CFR Sec. 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesirable
operation.
To be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed
the guidelines in the relevant standards, always follow these
instructions:
A minimum of 20cm (8 inches) should be maintained
between the antenna and all persons and must not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Only the antennas supplied with this device are to be used or the
user may void the authority to use this device.
DO NOT hold the antenna when Cora is in use. Holding the
antenna will affect call quality and may cause the radio to
operate at a higher power level than needed.
Guidance – Pacemakers, Potential Interference 9
Cora Telemetry Quick Start Guide
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from cell phones can interact with
some electronic devices. This type of interference is called
electromagnetic interference (EMI). For this reason, FDA helped
develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cell phones. This test
method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association
for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). This
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cell phone EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of cell phones for possible
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess
the interference and work to resolve the problem.
For more information reference sources for pacemakers can be
found at U.S. Food and Drug Administration web site:
www.fda.gov , see Radiation-Emitting Products and procedures,
Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices.
