ViVOpay 4800 User Guide 3 Chapter 2Installing the ViVOpay 4800Radio Frequency InterferenceTo perform contactless transactions, the ViVOpay 4800 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 4800 closer than 1 foot (30 cm) to other ViVOpay 4800s or other (non-NFC) RF-emitting devices. Some environments may require greater distances.• Do not position the ViVOpay 4800 near radio transmitters.• Avoid placing the ViVOpay 4800 on or near large metal objects.Installing the ViVOpay 4800This section describes how to install the ViVOpay 4800. The basic steps are:• Connect to power and POS• Mount if required• Test the installationConnecting the ViVOpay 4800Connection to the ViVOpay 4800 is through the molded connector on the terminal side of the reader’s data cable. Strain ReliefTo prevent accidental disconnects or data errors due to a bad connection, make sure you provide strain relief for the data cable. If you are using the countertop stand, be certain to engage the cable in the built-in strain relief as described below. Pin 1 10121: DC power connector2: Data port 10P8C modular connector
ViVOpay 4800 User Guide 4 Installing the ViVOpay 4800To connect the ViVOpay 48001. Connect the data cable to the modular connector. Note: The baud rate for ViVOpay 4800 with the ViVOpay MSR Accessory is 19200 baud to match the baud rate of the MSR. The ViVOpay 4800 is set to 19200 by default to be backward compatible with ViVOpay 4500 reader installations. For information on how to change the baud rate, see the ViVOpay Advanced Reader Serial Interface Developers Guide. 2. Insert the power cable into the power connector.3. Connect the power supply to power.The ViVOpay 4800 LEDs flash and the reader is ready to operate after about 35 seconds. If the reader fails to power up, see “Troubleshooting” on page 10.Mounting to the Countertop Stand The ViVOpay 4800 can be mounted in the Countertop Stand for easier use. To mount the ViVOpay 4800 in the Countertop Stand1. Assemble the ViVOpay 4800 countertop stand by inserting the saddle into the base. Make sure to align the curved part of the saddle with the curved part of the base.2. For a permanent installation, you can fasten the stand base to the countertop with the provided screws. For a non-permanent installation, additional mounting solutions can be suggested. Please contact your local support representative for further information.
ViVOpay 4800 User Guide 5 Installing the ViVOpay 48003. Slide the bottom of the ViVOpay 4800 down into the saddle. Press the sides firmly until the tabs snap into place.4. The preferred cable routing of the cable is through the hole at the back of the base and in the strain relief channel in the underside of the base. Note: The cable should always be positioned to the back of the ViVOpay 4800 - do not route the cable towards the front of the ViVOpay 4800.5. Attach the ViVOpay 4800 serial cable to the serial port of the POS (consult your POS manual for additional information). 6. Connect the ViVOpay power cable to the power module. The reader will beep twice and be ready for operation after approximately 35 seconds.
ViVOpay 4800 User Guide 6 Installing the ViVOpay 4800Installing the ViVOpay 4800 with ViVOpay MSR AccessoryThis section describes how to install the ViVOpay 4800 with the ViVOpay MSR Accessory. The basic steps are:• Connect to power and POS• Mount if required• Test the installationThe following pictures shows the ViVOpay 4800 with ViVOpay MSR Accessory installed in a counter top stand. Note that the stand causes the unit to sit at a slight angle to the counter top surface. Cable Installation1. Turn the ViVOpay 4800 with ViVOpay MSR Accessory over to get access to the cable routing channels, power jack, and RJ45 10-pin connector. Warning: Do not use 8-pin connectors as they can damage the jack. Use only ViVOtech-approved cables with 10-pin connectors.
ViVOpay 4800 User Guide 7 Installing the ViVOpay 48002. Select the channel to be used for routing the cable. You can choose to use either of the two channels on the bottom of the stand or any of the three channels at the bottom of the ViVOpay 4800 with ViVOpay MSR Accessory underneath the stand. This decision should be based on the installation requirements.3. If you want to use any of the channels on the bottom of the ViVOpay 4800 with ViVOpay MSR Accessory, you need to remove the stand by depressing the spring clip on the wide side of the stand and lifting the stand off of the ViVOpay 4800.4. Lay the stand to the side of the ViVOpay 4800.5. You attach the power to the power receptacle on the bottom of the ViVOpay 4800.
ViVOpay 4800 User Guide 8 Installing the ViVOpay 48006. If you are planning on using either of the two channels on the bottom of the stand, make sure to route the RJ45 10-pin cable (and optionally, the power cable) through the stand.7. Attach the power cable and the RJ45 10-pin connector into the base of the ViVOpay 4800. Make sure that the cables are routed into the channels.8. Reattach the stand if it was removed for routing the cables. Note that the stand helps to hold the cables in the channels.9. Attach the other end of the RJ45 10-pin cable to the POS/ECR and plug the power module into an electrical outlet. The reader will beep twice and be ready for operation after approximately 35 seconds.
ViVOpay 4800 User Guide 9 Installing the ViVOpay 4800Testing the InstallationAfter you have completed the installation check that the ViVOpay 4800 and the POS are communicating correctly by performing a sample transaction.To test that the reader is reading cards, present the contactless card/fob/phone flat against the upper half of the reader so that maximum surface area is parallel to the screen.If you have installed a ViVOpay 4800 with ViVOpay MSR Accessory, you can try reading any magstripe card before connecting to a terminal. When a contactless card/fob/phone or magstrip card has been successfully read, the ViVOpay 4800 beeps and illuminates all four green LEDs. One indicator of an unsuccessful read is a double beep from the reader. For more information, see Troubleshooting and Maintenance on page 10.Testing a TransactionThe exact wording that appears on the terminal depends on the POS application.To test a transaction1. Ring up a transaction on the POS. 2. Present a card/fob/phone in close proximity to the reader or swipe a magstrip card.3. A single beep and LED flash indicates that the card has been validated. 4. A receipt is printed by the POS with the purchase amount. 5. Initiate a charge reversal on the POS and tap/swipe the card again, if needed.
