2.4 Mounting the ViVOpay Kiosk II Controller
Note: The ViVOpay Kiosk II Controller must be mounted within 1 meter of the external antenna.
Make sure that the cable will be able to reach from the external antenna to the ViVOpay Kiosk
Controller if the external antenna is mounted of a surface that opens (such as a door) when the
antenna mounting surface is fully opened.
The ViVOpay Kiosk II installer must use their discretion when mounting the Controller.
If it acceptable, the installer can drill four holes for mounting the Controller if screw heads can
appear on the outside of the Kiosk. In this case, it would be advisable to use security screws to
prevent tampering with the screws.
If drilling additional holes on the outside of the Kiosk surface is not acceptable, the installer can use
double-sided tape to mount the Controller to any clean surface.
2.4.1 Mounting the ViVOpay Kiosk II Controller Using Screws
1. Position the ViVOpay Kiosk Controller on the interior of the II making sure that there is
sufficient room for the external antenna mounting surface to be fully opened.

2.7 Using the ViVOpay Kiosk II to Make a Purchase
2.7.1 Presenting Cards, Fobs, or NFC Phones
Your new ViVOpay Kiosk II allows for credit/debit card purchases using the new contactless
technology.
Present the card/fob/phone in close proximity to the front portion of the reader. Present the
card/fob/phone so that maximum surface area is parallel to the antenna as shown below. The
reader should beep and all four green LEDs should illuminate briefly to indicate a successful test.
This tests the reader's ability to read the RFID test card. If unsuccessful, there will be no reaction
from the reader. If you use a test card and the ViVOpay reader is attached to the ViVOpay Kiosk II
control unit, a dummy transaction can be tested. The transaction will not be authorized and will
come back with a response, but will at least test for end-to-end connectivity.
2.7.2 Making a Purchase
1. After the transaction has been entered on the ViVOpay Kiosk II control panel, the customer
should present their card/fob/phone in close proximity so that maximum surface area is
parallel to the antenna.
2. A single beep and all four LEDs briefly flashing indicates the card/fob/phone has been read
correctly.

3 Installation Points
• Although the ViVOpay Kiosk II Reader is designed to be mounted on to a metal surface and in
close proximity to any internal motors and electrical devices that may be operating inside the
Kiosk, it should be noted that in general, RFID readers can be susceptible to RF-induced
interference. Therefore, the ViVOpay unit is susceptible to RF and electromagnetic
interference. Therefore, it is important that the unit not be mounted next to or near (within 3 or 4
feet) large electric motors, computer UPS systems, microwave transmitters, anti-theft devices,
radio transmitters, communications equipment etc.
• All cables should be neatly tied with nylon cable-ties and routed in such a way that they are
inaccessible and invisible to customers. Cables should be clearly labeled at both ends to
indicate where they should be connected to.
• The ViVOpay unit should be tested after installation with a test card. An end-to-end transaction
should be run (the same as an actual purchase on the Kiosk). The ViVOpay Kiosk II should
register "Requesting Authorization". Even if the transaction is declined (as it should be with a
test card), it will prove connectivity all the way through the system. If possible the store
manager or some other responsible party should test each unit on a regular basis (perhaps at
the start of each day or at least once per week) with a test card to ensure continued operation
and functionality. If the ViVOpay Kiosk II is rebooted on a regular basis (such as every night) it
is important to test the contactless reader as soon as possible afterwards in order to ensure
continued communication to the Kiosk.
• In order to minimize the incidence of non-functioning readers being reported, it is important that
ViVOpay Kiosk II distributors, technicians, and IT specialists servicing the retail locations are
made aware of how to troubleshoot the contactless readers. From past experience it has been
found that a large percentage of units that are returned to your local support representative
under the RMA process have been found to be in good working order. Some simple
troubleshooting while the reader is still installed can greatly reduce this number.
• If the ViVOpay unit does not appear to be working, verify that the unit is powered on.
- Make sure that the correct pins are utilized
- Make sure that the power provided is within the specified range of the ViVOpay Kiosk II
reader
- The correct polarity is observed

4 RF Interference
Q. Why do I need to know about RF interference?
A. Contactless payment uses radio frequency technology to send card data to a contactless
terminal reader.
Q. How can RF interference affect contactless payment?
A. RF interference can cause data errors. If RF interference is present, contactless payment
devices may operate 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 and RF interference include:
AM/FM radio and tv transmitters
2-way radios, pagers
Mobile telephones
Power lines, transformers
Medical equipment
Microwaves
Electromechanical switches
Many others
Q. What should I do if I suspect RF interference exists in my environment?
A. Begin by inspecting your environment for possible culprits for RF interference.
Q. Do equipment manufacturers test their devices for RF interference?
A. Electronic equipment is tested for RFI sensitivity by the manufacturers. These tests are
performed in a controlled laboratory environment and will often not replicate the types of
devices that would be encountered in your point-of-sale (POS) environment
Q. What RF levels will impact RF operations?
A. Factors that can cause RF interference vary case-by-case. There are no set rules defining
a single 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 high signal levels of another frequency - so frequency is an important factor.
Some electronic system components are internally shielded and have a very high immunity to
interference; but generally, most equipment has not been so engineered.
