The Omni 3600 terminal contains three micromodule-sized SAM (MSAM) cardholders to support multiple stored-value card programs or other merchant cardsThe Omni 3600 terminal is equipped with a tamper-evident label (on a screw hole on the case bottom).Power Port On the back of the Omni 3600 is one port—the power port. Use this port to connect the Omni 3600 to the power pack to recharge the battery through the unitConnect Power PackTo connect the Omni 3600 terminal to power:1Insert the round barrel connector (Figure 3) into the power port on the back of the terminal.2Insert the power cable into the power pack.3Plug the power pack into a wall outlet or surge protector.Figure 3 Connect Omni 3600 Terminal Power PackSmart Battery The Omni 3600 wireless terminal uses an Li-ion smart battery (see Accessories and Documentation for ordering information). The internal logic of the smart battery prevents both overcharging and undercharging (a fault condition in which the battery level goes well below the minimum acceptable charge and the battery becomes unusable). NOTE Install a power surge protector to protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical surges.WARNINGDo not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet.
OMNI 3600 TERMINALSmart Battery12 OMNI 3600 INSTALLATION GUIDEThe following are features of the smart battery:•Two Li-ion cells•A fuel gauge module•monitors state of charge (voltage and current),•communicates with the terminal (charge parameters and alarms to indicate full discharge), •determines full charge capacity (on charge cycle and uninterrupted discharge cycle), and •automatically shuts down when cell voltage is extremely low.•A safety circuit•prevents cell damage from overcharge/over-discharge,•activates when the battery is left in an unused terminal for extended periods, and•resets when battery voltage reaches a preset threshold during the charge cycle.Refer to Spare Smart Battery Pack for smart battery instructions for the Omni 3600 terminal on the Omni 3600 base.Smart BatteryInstallationThe smart battery installs in a slot on the back of the terminal, as shown in Figure 4. The locking tab clicks when the battery is in place. The slot is keyed, so that there is only one way to insert the battery.CAUTION Note that a new Li-ion battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.On initial use, allow the Omni 3600 smart battery to charge 4 hours, then fully discharge during normal operation, to ensure reliable battery operation. NOTE Conserve battery power by turning the Omni 3600 terminal off when not in use. If the terminal is not to be used for several days, remove the battery from the terminal as it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off.NOTE The smart battery pack must be installed and holding a minimum of a 1% charge to operate the Omni 3600 terminal.
OMNI 3600 TERMINALSmart BatteryOMNI 3600 INSTALLATION GUIDE 13Figure 4 Install the Smart Battery Smart BatteryRemovalTo remove the smart battery, press the locking tab at the top of the battery and pull the smart battery from its slot.Smart BatteryChargingOn initial use, the smart battery must be fully charged and fully discharged through normal operation. After unpacking your Omni 3600 terminal, install the battery and connect the power pack to the unit for 4 hours. Disconnect the power pack and allow your Omni 3600 terminal to remain on until the smart battery completely discharges. Reconnect the power pack to the unit and allow the smart battery to recharge a maximum of 4 hours.It is also recommended that the smart battery receive a periodic full discharge. To ensure a full discharge, use the unit until the battery is fully drained.To determine the charge state of the battery, push the “test button” icon (shown in Figure 5) on the bottom of the battery. The bar LED status indicators on the battery each indicate 25% of the charge state. When the battery charge state reaches 10%, the   LED (Figure 5) blinks, indicating a low-charge state. The battery charge state displays at the bottom of the first copyright screen when the terminal is turned on.The smart battery has a safety circuit to protect the Li-ion cells from overcharging and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts down the battery and none of the indicator LEDs (see Figure 5) on the battery pack blink. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.NOTE Conserve battery power by turning the Omni 3600 terminal off when not in use. If the terminal is not to be used for several days, remove the battery from the terminal as it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off.NOTE The Omni 3600 terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery reaches the critically low charge state.
