2.0 Installing the ViVOpay Vend III

2.1 Overview

Before you connect and mount the ViVOpay VEND III, you should plan the installation to conform to PCI requirements

and minimize radio frequency interference. Once you have determined the location and mounting of the ViVOpay

VEND III, you can connect it to power and the control unit. Finally, you should test the ViVOpay VEND III to make sure

the installation is successful.

2.2 Site Planning

Environmental considerations affect how you install the ViVOpay VEND III. You should consider objects and

devices near the reader that may affect the performance of the contactless radio frequency antenna.

2.2.1 Radio Frequency Interference

To perform contactless transactions, the ViVOpay VEND III uses a radio frequency antenna. The range

(reading distance) and performance of the reader can be affected by other radio frequency emitters and

proximity to metal.

For best performance, adhere to the following guidelines:

 Do not position the ViVOpay VEND III closer than 1 foot (30 cm) to other ViVOpay readers or other RF-

emitting devices (non-NFC). Some environments may require greater distances.

 Do not position the ViVOpay VEND III near radio transmitters.

 Avoid placing the ViVOpay VEND III on or near large metal objects.

2.2.2 User Access

The ViVOpay VEND III is design for unattended use. Is is important to consider the following factors when

lanning the location of the reader.

p

 Clear visibility of the display

Anticipate the angles at which the user may be viewing the display to maximize visibility.

 Make sure the user can easily reach the reader

Provide access to the reader to push buttons and tap or swipe cards.

 No obstructions in the MSR swipe path

Make sure nothing is blocking the entrance or exit of a card passing through the MSR.

2.3 Installing the ViVOpay VEND III

T

his section describes how to install the ViVOpay VEND III. The basic steps are:

 Install SAMs if required

 Connect to power and POS

 Mount

 Test the installation

2.3.1 Connector and SAM Access

The ViVOpay VEND III connectors and SAM slots are on the bottom of the reader.

To access the connectors:

1. Turn over the ViVOpay VEND III so that the connectors and SAM slots are visible.

2.3.2 Install a SAM Card

All ViVOpay VEND III models have three SAM card slots in addition to one SoftSAM. Consequently, the physical

SAMs are labeled SAM 2 through SAM 4, left to right. If you are using a SAM card(s) in your application, insert the

AM card as described in the following steps.

S

Warning: Do not insert or remove a SAM card while the ViVOpay VEND III is powered. This will cause

permanent damage to the SAM card.

To install a SAM card:

1. Use your fingernail to slide the lock bar down, away from the connectors, and pull the SAM cage away

from the closed position. The cage hinges on the edge furthest from the connector ports.

Page 7 of 18

2. Insert the card with the contacts facing the bottom of the SAM cage. The cut corner of the SAM should be

positioned shown below.

3. Press the cage into the closed position. The cage will snap into place.

4. Slide the lock bar up, towards the connectors, to lock the SAM in position.

2.3.3 Connect Data and Power

There are connectors for Ethernet, data and power, and PIN pad in back of the ViVOpay VEND III. The

connections you need to make are dependant on your specific POS configuration and application. The power is

received on the data connector. The product is intended to be powered by a DC source from 5 VDC to 45 VDC;

this power source should comply with the Limited Power Source requirements (sub-clause 2.5 of UL/IEC 60950-1).

It is recommended to power the product with a LPS UL Listed/ Class 2 IEC certified DC power supply, output rated

Vdc, 0.67 A.

If the reader fails to power up, try reseating the power connector (or change to a different power outlet). For more

troubleshooting information, see “Troubleshooting” on page 13.

2.3.4 Connect Ethernet

To connect to Ethernet

1. Insert a CAT5 or better cable into the Ethernet port. (Note The TCP protocol stack is not supported in the

initial product release)

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet switch or hub.

2.3.5 External Mount

The ViVOpay VEND III can be mounted directly on a surface (external) or mounted from behind a surface

internal) using a flange bracket. Surface mounting requires the standoff and seal for effective weather proofing. (

To mount externally

1. Drill four 5.0mm (3/16 inch) holes in the surface where the ViVOpay VEND III will be mounted. Use

the hole spacing shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Mounting hole dimensions

2. Drill a 20.0mm (3/4 inch) hole or cut an access hole large enough to pass an RJ50 connector in the center

of the area inside the mounting holes.

3. Position the ViVOpay VEND III over the mounting holes and use four M4 screws (not supplied)

long enough to secure the ViVOpay VEND III to the mounting surface.

2.3.6 Internal Mount

The ViVOpay VEND III can be supplied with a bracket designed to install the ViVOpay VEND III in the same

cation as a currency acceptance device.

lo

To mount internally

1. Disconnect power from the vending machine.

2. Open the vending machine to access the currency acceptor mounting locations.

3. Remove the currency acceptor or cover plate. Retain the fasteners for ViVOpay VEND III installation.

2.4 Testing the Installation

After you have completed the installation and have checked for PCI conformance, check that

the ViVOpay VEND III and the POS are communicating correctly by performing a sample

transaction using a contactless card and a magstripe card.

You can also test basic functionality using the Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) described in

“Onboard Diagnostics” on page 14.
