FEATURESOptional Modules10 MX800 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDEVERIFONECONFIDENTIALTEMPLATE REV E OptionalModulesThe Mx800 Series terminal offers upgradable modules that can be installed in the factory or upgraded after distribution to the field. All modules can be installed easily and efficiently. Complete installation instructions are found in the Installing Optional Modules section.Contactless ReaderModuleThe optional contactless smart card module incorporates RFID technology based on the ISO 14443 worldwide standard. The “tap-and-go” design conforms to AMEX and MasterCard specifications. Smart cards are read when it is placed in close proximity – 1 to 3.9 in. (2.5 to 10 cm) – to the reader, reducing wear and tear on card readers and cards. Contactless readers can be used to support any number of payment and value-added applications. See Installing Optional Modules for more information.Privacy ScreenThe Mx800 Series series terminals includes an optimal, PED-compliant privacy screen to protect the customer’s PIN entry. See I/O Module for installation procedures.NOTE Install VeriFone's Mx800 Series terminal privacy shield to ensure compliance with ISO 9564 standards and Visa PED requirements.
FEATURESApplicationsMX800 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE 11VERIFONECONFIDENTIALTEMPLATE REV E Figure 1 Mx870 Terminal with Privacy ShieldApplicationsStandard payment applications are available from VeriFone to interface with most ECR's. Applications for the two families of terminals are written using a C based programming language. These programs can be downloaded directly from an ECR, another terminal, or a development PC using the Mx800 Series terminal system modes. Terminal system mode can also be used for diagnostics, changing the password, and Master Key injection. For further information on system mode, see Chapter 4.Total Cost ofOwnershipMx800 Series terminal have been designed to be flexible and “future proof', delivering an exceptional total cost of ownership.The modular terminals can be configured at the factory or in the field by a trained technician. The terminals can be purchased with necessary modules equipped to meet today's requirements and other capabilities can be added as and when needed. This can include modules with Ethernet and USB connectivity, signature capture, EMV 4.0 Type Approved smart card support, or contactless smart card support.NOTE "The tester will verify the physical properties of the privacy screen. The privacy screen of an attended device shall provide protection as described in Appendix A, section A.1 of this document. Alternatively, the vendor may use less restrictive privacy shield criteria provided that the vendor supplies rules and guidance as to how the visual observation is to be deterred by the environment in which the PED is installed. These rules shall be binding for the organization placing the PED into the environment, e.g., the acquirer or merchant. If the vendor gives rules for an external physical privacy shield, then the vendor shall provide a demo/sample with the appropriate dimensions. The tester shall examine the information to verify the assertions of the vendor. The tester shall consider the examples included in Appendix A, section A.2, of this document when evaluating the vendor's visual observation deterrence rules. The user (acquirer or merchant) instructions provided by the vendor shall clearly state the acquirer or merchant must meet the implementation criteria or else deploy PEDs meeting the criteria defined in Appendix A, section A1."
FEATURESTotal Cost of Ownership12 MX800 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDEVERIFONECONFIDENTIALTEMPLATE REV E The flexibility and versatility of the terminal allow retailers to use terminals with different capabilities in different stores or locations.

To stand mount the Mx800 Series series terminal:1Install the stand mount on the countertop in the desired lane over an appropriate hole to thread the wiring connections through.2Thread all wiring connections through the center of the stand mount.3Make all wiring connections.4Attach cable tie-down strap with the supplied screw.5Align and seat the three pins on the top plate of the stand mount platform with the three key-hole slots on the bottom of the Mx800 Series terminal (Figure 5).Figure 5 Aligning Mx800 Series Terminal with the Typical Mounting Plate.6Slide the Mx800 Series terminal down until the unit seats securely (Figure 6).Figure 6 Mx800 Series Terminal mounted.
INSTALLATIONInstalling Optional ModulesMX800 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE 17VERIFONECONFIDENTIALTEMPLATE REV E InstallingOptionalModulesThis section presents installation procedures for the Mx800 Series terminal’s optional modules. The Mx800 Series terminal model you have, may already have some of these options. Modules can be installed at the factory or in the field.Installing SmartCard ModulesThe following are the steps required to install optional I/O modules:1Loosen the module retaining screw on the bottom of the Mx800 Series (Figure 7) until the old module can slide out.Figure 7 Removing the Old I/O Module2Slide the smart card module into place (Figure 8) and secure the retaining screw.Figure 8 Installing the Smart Card ModuleNOTE The retaining screws are captive, which means they do not actually separate from their seats, but only from the mounting hole.
INSTALLATIONInstalling SAM Cards – Additional Steps18 MX800 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDEVERIFONECONFIDENTIALTEMPLATE REV E Installing SAMCards –Additional StepsThe following are the additional steps required to install SAM cards once the first two steps of installation is completed.Often merchants are issued SAM cards to run small applications, such as loyalty programs. SAM cards are only used with Mx800 Series terminal Smart Card configurations.1Remove the power cord and/or battery from the terminal.2Place the terminal upside down on a soft, clean surface to protect the lens from scratches.3Remove the SAM compartment door screw and rotate the door up and back to access the SAM cardholders.4Remove any previously installed SAM card by sliding the card from the MSAM cardholder.5Install an MSAM card by aligning the card and carefully sliding it within the guides on the cover until it is fully inserted.Installing TrimPlateThe Mx800 Series terminal can be fitted with interchangeable trim plates to customize the appearance of the terminal.1Insert the trim plate by lining up the three notches of the face plate into the unit.2Firmly snap the top part of the trim plate to secure the new trim plate.Figure 9 Installing the trim plate.NOTE Before inserting the SAM card, position it with the card’s gold contacts facing the smart car reader end of the terminal. The cardholder connector base has a set of contacts and a notch on one corner to ensure the SAM card is positioned correctly. The SAM card has a notch on one corner to ensure that it fits into the connector base in only one way. The SAM compartment door will not close properly if the SAM cards are installed incorrectly.
INSTALLATIONConnecting the DeviceMX800 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE 19VERIFONECONFIDENTIALTEMPLATE REV E Connecting theDeviceBrief descriptions of possible Mx800 Series terminal device connections and the power pack connection are provided in this section. For complete information about installing and using an optional device, refer to the user documentation supplied with that device. For a list of compatible cables for these connections, see Accessories.Multiport CableThe Mx800 Series terminal uses a multiport cable (Figure 10) to make most connections, including connections to •an ECR,•an RS-485 LAN, or •a development/host PC.Ethernet LAN and USB connections are made using the Installing Optional Modules option.Figure 10 Multiport Cable: Front and RearDisconnectingMultiportThe following are the precautions taken at the time of disconnecting the Multiport:•Improper installation or removal of the terminal connector may permanently damage the Mx800 Series.•Do not force the terminal connector into place. •Always make sure all of the pins are lined up in correct parallel fashion before applying light pressure to snap the terminal connector into place.•Do not attempt to remove the terminal connector by pulling directly on the cable. Instead, firmly grasp the sides of the terminal connector with thumb and forefinger, then pull straight away at the same angle the connector on the terminal is facing.•Disconnecting the power source during transaction processing may cause loss of transaction data. WARNING Before connecting the Mx800 Series terminal, ensure all units are not connected to a power source. Unplug all power packs from the wall jack.
