Page8of19

MountingtheViVOpayKioskII ExternalAntenna

Use the following instructions to mount the antenna on the exteriorof the kiosk:

Note: Verify the orientationof the ViVOpay Kiosk II Antenna beforemarking anddrilling

the holes. The two larger holesshould be located towards the top ofthe mounting

location to ensure that the ViVOpay KioskII Antennais oriented correctly with the LEDs

at the top.

1. Using the Drill Template for the antenna(630-1046-00), locate and mark the four

4.4mm (0.173 inch) mounting holes.

2. Using the Drill Template, locate and mark the two 14.0 mm (0.551 inches) across

holes (used for connectingthe antennapower and the LED power and datacable to

the ViVOpay Kiosk II).

3. Drill the four 4.4 mm (0.173) mounting holes using a number 17 drill bit.

4. Drill the two 14.0 mm (0.551 inch) holesusing a 35/64 drill bit.

5. Remove thenuts from thefour mountingscrews.

6. Route the end of the cable(220-2457-00) with the RJ45 connectorthrough the left

14.0 mm (0.551 inch) hole in to the kiosk. Make sure that the front of the antenna will

be properly oriented(not upside down)on the kiosk before inserting the fourscrews

into the mounting holes.

Page9of19

7. Align the four screwswith the mounting holes and attach the ViVOpay Kiosk II to the

outside surface. Make sure that the cable is not pinched or binding.

8. Use the fournuts to secure the ViVOpayKiosk II to the outside surface of thekiosk.

Makesure to tighten the nuts securely sothat the ViVOpay Kiosk II does not move

on the outside surface of the kiosk.

If you are installing the Angle Bezel Antenna, tighten the nuts to 5-7in/lbs. for a good

weather seal.

9. Attach the end of the cablewith the SMB connector through the right 14.0 mm (0.551

inch) hold and attach it to the socketonthe back of the ViVOpay Kiosk II antenna. The

SMB connector pushes on the socket of the antenna.

Page10of19

10.Attach the RJ45 connectorcoming fromthe ViVOpay Kiosk II Antenna to the RJ45

receptacle onthe 220-2457-00cable.

Flush- Mounting the Square Bezel Antenna

The RF fieldof the antenna is sensitiveto the proximity of metal.Ifyou are flush-

mounting theantenna in a metal surfaceor bezel, you have three options:

 Mount with the RF emittingsurface of the antenna at least 1 cm forward of any

metal.

 Mount with the RF emittingsurface of the antenna at least 1 cm behind any

metal. This will reduce theeffective range of the antenna.

 Mount flushwith the metal but allow aminimum of 1cm spacing between the

antenna and the metal.

In all cases, test the antenna mounting before engaging in a full scale installation.

MountingtheViVOpayKioskII Controller

Note: The ViVOpay Kiosk II Controller must be mounted within 1meter of the antenna. If the

antenna is mounted on a surface that opens (such asa door), make sure the controller and

antenna areclose enough that there is no tension on the cable when the enclosure is open.

If it is acceptable, the installer can drill four holes for mounting thecontroller if screw

heads can appear on the outside of thekiosk.In thiscase, it wouldbe advisableto use

security screws to preventtampering with the screws.

If drilling additional holes on the outside ofthe kiosk surface is notacceptable, the

installer can use double-sided tape to mountthe controller to any clean surface.

Mounting the ViVOpayKiosk II Controller Using Screws

1. Position theViVOpay Kiosk II controller on the interior of the kiosk making sure that

there issufficient room for the antenna mountingsurface to be fully opened.

Page11of19

2. Locate the four 4.4 mm (0.173 inch) mounting holesby holding the ViVOpay Kiosk II

Controller in position andmark the holes. The following diagramshows the spacing

on the holes to be drilled for mounting the ViVOpay Kiosk II Controller.

3. Drill the four 4.4 mm (0.173 inch) mounting holes using a number 17 drill bit.

4. Use fourscrews and nuts to mount theViVOpay Kiosk II Controller to the kiosk

surface. (Mounting screws are not provided and must be supplied bythe installer.)

5. Tighten the nuts to hold the ViVOpay Kiosk II Controller in positionso that it does not

move.

Mounting the ViVOpayKiosk II Controller Using Mounting Tape

1. Position theViVOpay Kiosk II Controller on the interior of the kiosk making sure that

there issufficient room for the antenna mountingsurface to be fully opened.

2. Attach double-sided tape tothe mountingsurface.

3. Position theViVOpay Kiosk II Controller over the mounting tape and gently apply

pressure to hold the controller in position.

AttachingtheCablesfromtheAntennatotheController

1. Attach the SMB end of the cable (220-2457-00) from the antenna to the ViVOpay

Kiosk II Controller.

Page12of19

2. Attach the other end of the cable (220-2457-00) from the antenna to the ViVOpay

Kiosk II Controller.

Note: Verify that the polarizing plug on the end of thedata cable isfacing towards the top of the

ViVOpay Kiosk II Controller (away from the mounting plate) before inserting the cable.If the

cable is installed incorrectly (upside-down), it willapply the wrong polarity to the LEDs and

damage them.

Connecting to Power

The Kiosk II can be powered through the serial communications port or the two-socket

power connector. If you are using USB data communications, you must power the Kiosk

II through the two-socket power connector.

By using AC to DC adapter to Connect to the white two-socket Molex connector

(mating connector Molex P/N 0039012020with 5556-series crimps) or to pins 1 and

2 of the RS232 connector (see next section).

(P.S Please don’t use DC power source for our units, and this product do not supply

the DC Jack Cable).

Page13of19

Connecting to the Data Port

The Kiosk II has two data connections options: USB through the USB connector and

RS232 through the 14-pin Molex connector.

The USB port uses a standard USB connector and pin outs. TheRS232 port has the

following pin outs.

Pin Description Pin Description

UsingtheViVOpayKioskIItoMakeaPurchase

Presenting Cards, Fobs, or NFC Phones

Your new ViVOpay Kiosk II allows for credit/debit card purchasesusing the new

contactless technology.

Present the card/fob/phone in close proximity tothe front portion ofthe antennamodule.

Present the card/fob/phone so that maximum surfacearea is parallel to the antenna

module as shown below. The antenna should beep and all four green LEDs should

illuminate briefly to indicate a successful test.

This tests theantenna’s ability to read the RFIDtest card. If unsuccessful, therewill be no

reaction from the reader. If you use a test card andthe ViVOpay reader is attached to the

ViVOpay Kiosk II Controller, a dummytransactioncan be tested. The transaction will not

be authorized and willcome backwith a response,but will at least test for end-to-end

connectivity.

Making aPurchase

 After the transaction has been enteredonthe kiosk control panel, the customer should

present their card/fob/phone in close proximity so that maximum surfacearea is

parallel to the antenna.

 A single beep and all fourLEDs briefly flashing indicates the card/fob/phone has

been readcorrectly.

Installation Points

 The ViVOpayKiosk II is designed to bemounted on ametal surface and in close

proximity to any internal motors and electrical devices that may beoperating inside

the kiosk. However, the ViVOpay Kiosk IIis susceptible to RF andelectromagnetic

interference. It is importantthat the unit not be mounted near(within3 or 4 feet) large

electric motors, computerUPS systems,microwave transmitters, anti-theft devices,

radio transmitters, communications equipment and so on.

 Close proximity of metal tothe RF-emitting end of theantenna can greatly reduce the

range of the antenna. See the precautions describedin FlushMounting the Kiosk

IIAntenna.

 Tie all cablesneatly with nylon cable-tiesand route them so that they are

inaccessibleand invisible to customers.Label thecable ends, host,ViVOpay, and

power, to simplify connection testing or component replacement.

Page15of19

 Test the ViVOpay Kiosk II installation using a test card to performan end-to-end

transaction (the same as an actual purchase on theKiosk). Thekiosk control panel

should display “Requesting Authorization”. Even if the transaction is declined (as it

should bewith a test card),it will proveconnectivity all the way through the system. If

possible the store manager or some other responsibleparty should test each cardto

ensurecontinued operationand functionality. If the kiosk is rebooted on a regular

basis (such as every night) it is importantto test the contactless reader as soonas

possible afterwards to ensure continuedcommunication to the kiosk.

 Refer to the troubleshooting section of thismanual before contacting your distributor

with support questions.

RF Interference

Q. WhydoIneed to knowaboutRF interference?

A. Contactless payments use radio frequency technology to sendcard data to a

contactless terminal reader.

Q. HowcanRF interference affect contactless payments?

A. RF interference can cause data errors. If RF interference is present, contactless

payment devices may operation intermittently or inconsistently.

Q. Where does RF interference come from?

A. Radio frequency interference (RFI) can originate from a wide number of sources at the

point-of-sale (POS). Some examples of sources of RF energy andRF interference

include: AM/FM radioand TV transmitters

2-way radios,pagers

Mobile telephones

Power lines, transformers

Medical equipment

Microwaves

Electromechanicalswitches

Q. What should I do if I suspect RF interference exists in myenvironment?

A. Begin by inspecting your environmentfor possible sources ofRF interference.

Q. Do equipment manufacturers testtheir devices for RF interference?

A. Electronicequipment istested forRFI sensitivity by the manufacturers. Thesetests

are performed in a controlled laboratory environmentand will oftennot replicate the types

of devices that would be encountered inyour point-of- sale(POS)environment.

Q. WhatRF levelswill impactRF operations?

A. Factors that can causeRF interference vary case-by-case. There are noset rules

defining asingle RF level that will cause RFI. RFI depends on the sensitivity of the

equipment under consideration, or how low an interpreting signal can be in the presence

of the equipment and cause problems.

Equipment can be particularly sensitive to very low signal levels of one frequency and yet

be quite immune to highsignal levels of another frequency-so frequency is an important

factor.

Some electronic system components areinternally shielded and have a very high

immunity to interference; but generally, most equipment has not been so engineered.
