Required Tools
The following equipment is needed to install all Mat Reader kits:
•drill motor and bits
•needle nose pliers
•screwdriver, Phillips® head
•Zircon® stud/bracket finder
Coaxial Cable and SMA Connector Handling Requirements
Coaxial antenna cables are more flexible and have a smaller diameter than more familiar
coaxial cable, such as that used for cable television. However, all coaxial cables share this
characteristic: turns or bends in coaxial cables must be gradual loops, no sharper than a 1-inch
radius or 2-inch diameter (2.54 centimeter radius or 5 centimeter diameter).
An SMA connector is a type of connector that uses a threaded mount and connects one optical
fiber. Due to its small size, use care when connecting the coaxial cable to as to not damage the
SMA connector on the Interface Box or the coaxial cable.

Too severe a turn or bend in the cable will break the center (solid) fiber. This can
result in an intermittent signal. It may also result in what appears to be proper
performance at installation that is followed by premature failure and field service.
In addition, a damaged cable will cause a situation where the transmitter printed
circuit board (PCB) is powered without load, and damage the PCB.

Installation
Note: All installation work is to be accomplished between the hours specified by the point of
sale company authorizing the installation.
Install the Mat Reader assembly according to the following instructions.
Collect and arrange for safety and convenience all tools and equipment.
Positioning the Mat Reader
Gilbarco recommends the following concerning the placement of a Mat Reader on the counter
top relative the following devices:
•any cathode ray tube (CRT), such as the point-of-sale (POS) monitor
•any device with a card reader, such as a personal identification number (PIN) pad
•the Mat Reader Interface Box
•countertop material
In Relation to a CRT
In general, a Mat Reader should be positioned as far away as is conveniently possible from any
CRT device to avoid interference from the CRT and to ensure optimum performance of the
Mat Reader. The interference from a CRT can vary greatly from unit to unit and model to
model. Also, the presence of nearby masses of metal can affect the influence of a CRT.
There is no universal minimum separation that guarantees trouble-free operation. If the
distance between the Mat Reader and CRT cannot be increased, changing the relative
orientation of these items may yield better operation of the Mat Reader. However, increasing
the distance will always give the most dramatic improvement in Mat Reader performance.
In Relation to a Card Reader
In general, any device with a card reader should be positioned as far as is conveniently
possible from a Mat Reader. Since card readers are unshielded, loosely filtered devices, they
are potential victims of any magnetic interference. The Mat Reader generates a magnetic field
as part of its normal operation that can be such a source of magnetic interference to a card
reader.
If a known, good card reader begins to display poor read performance after the addition of a
Mat Reader to the POS system, significant improvements to card reader performance may be
realized by simply increasing its separation from the Mat Reader by as little as a few inches.
As a general rule, placing a card reader beside a Mat Reader has far less effect on the card
reader than actually using the card reader while it is physically on, or held over, the Mat
Reader. A counter top configuration where the card reader could be used in this manner should
be avoided.

Installation
In Relation to the Interface Box
For optimum Mat Reader performance, the Interface Box should be positioned as close to the
Mat Reader as is conveniently possible. If necessary, the CAT-5 cable, Q13482-06, may be
swapped out for a longer version in order to properly place the Interface Box and still reach the
POS connection. The dash number, such as -06, indicates 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.
In Relation to the Countertop Material
If the countertop material is stainless steel, Formica® covered steel, or some other metallic
material, less than desired performance will be experienced. In the preferred setup, the
countertop should be Corian®, plastic, wood, or some other non-metallic and/or non-ferrous
material.

Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) and integrated circuits (ICs) are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge caused by static electricity. Electrostatic discharge damages electronic parts.
Follow these guidelines when handling sensitive parts:
•Touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity buildup.
•Use a wrist strap connected to a grounded metal frame or chassis.

Mounting Mat Reader Interface Box
1Determine the location for the installation of indoor equipment. The Interface Box may be
mounted under the counter top (upside down) or vertically on one of the supporting walls of
the counter top.
Note: Refer to site prep document provided by point of sale company and keep in mind overall
5-foot (1.5 meter) length of cable to connect Mat Reader Interface Box to Mat Reader.
Also refer to “In Relation to the Interface Box” on page 11.
2Use a Zircon stud/bracket finder to ensure no electrical conduits or pipes are located inside of
wall where the Mat Reader Interface Box is to be mounted. Also, ensure the Mat Reader
Interface Box is to be located where studs or wall (concrete/brick/drywall) mollys can be used
for mounting.
3Mark and drill holes. Insert wall mollys if required.
4Use 8-32 thread-forming screws provided or other appropriate contractor-supplied mounting
hardware to secure the Mat Reader Interface Box to the wall or under counter top.
Note: 3/8-inch deep pilot holes (approximately 1/8-inch diameter) will be required if the
screws provided are used.

Note: The other end of the CAT-5 cable will be connected to the POS controller in the
instructions for “Connecting Data Cables from the Mat Reader Interface Box” on
page 19.
3If daisychaining Interface Boxes, connect a CAT-5 cable from the J1IN port on the other
Interface Box to the J2OUT port on this Interface Box.
4If the Interface Box has an antenna connection, connect one end of the coaxial cable to the
antenna connection (“Figure: Connecting to Mat Reader Interface Box M01803A002” on
page 18). See “Coaxial Cable and SMA Connector Handling Requirements” on page 4.
