Installing Mat Reader Assembly
4
Select side for the Mat Reader Drive Cable (M01872A002) connection based on the
countertop configuration requirements.
Note: The mat reader is designed to be placed on a countertop beside or adjacent to a cash
register or POS terminal. If properly positioned, the mat reader cable will “disappear”
underneath the existing POS equipment. The cable will penetrate the countertop via the
same hole used by the POS power and data cables. Double-sided tape (not provided)
may be used to secure the mat reader and/or the cable in position on the countertop.
Perform the next step by hand. Use of tools (i.e., screwdriver tip or knife blade) will
damage the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) beneath the layer of neoprene, which will
render the system inoperable and void the warranty.
CAUTION
5
Using fingers, spread open the precut backing for the cable routing path selected in step
and
lift out the neoprene material from that path (see
). Each cable path has
been precut approximately 90 percent through. Lifting out the selected channel will cause
slight tearing of the neoprene material, which is to be expected.
6
Carefully connect the P1/P2 end of the mat reader drive cable to the back side of the mat
reader, and press the cable into the cable path channel created in step
(see
).
7
Peel the backing from the Cover Connector (M02498B001) and place over the P1/P2 cable
connection (see
). Ensure to press tape firmly so it contacts the PCB around the
perimeter of the connector.
