Installation Points
•
The Kiosk V is designed to be mounted on a metal surface and in close proximity to any
internal motors and electrical devices that may be operating inside the kiosk. However, the
Kiosk V is susceptible to RF and electromagnetic interference
. It is important that the unit not
be mounted near (within 3 or 4 feet) large electric motors, computer UPS systems, microwave
transmitters (Wi-Fi routers), anti-theft devices, radio transmitters, communications equipment and
so on.
•
Close proximity of metal to the RF-emitting end of the NFC antenna can greatly reduce the NFC
antenna’s range. See the precautions described in
•
Tie all cables neatly with nylon cable-ties and route them so that they are inaccessible and
invisible to customers. Label the cable ends, host, ID TECH and power, to simplify connection
testing or component replacement.
•
Test the Kiosk V installation using a test card to perform an end-to-end transaction (the same
as an actual purchase on the Kiosk). The kiosk display panel (if it exists) should display
"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 Kiosk V 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 kiosk is rebooted on a regular basis (such as every night), it is
important to test the contactless reader as soon as possible afterwards to ensure continued
communication to the kiosk host.
