Selecting a
Location
Use the following guidelines to select a location for the MX 800 Series terminal.
1
Select a location for the terminal that offers adequate ventilation and
protection and is convenient for the user and merchant.
2
Place the MX 800 Series terminal on a flat surface, such as a table or
countertop, or mount it on a mounting stand supplied by VeriFone.
Avoid areas with:
•
Excessive heat or dust
•
Oil or moisture
•
Devices that cause excessive voltage fluctuations or electrical noise, such
as air conditioners, fans, electric motors, neon signs, or high-frequency
security devices must be no closer than 24 inches
•
Direct sunlight or objects that radiate heat
3
For sites that use deactivator pads (for example, the Senormatic) used to
deactivate magnetic labels, position the MX800 Series terminal at least 12 to
18 inches away from the pad. The EMI field from the pad is normally directed
upward and radiates outward at an angle. Therefore, keeping the MX 800
Series terminal low and away from the pad usually reduces interference. For
information about detecting excessive EMI fields, see the
MX 800 Series
Troubleshooting Guide
.
4
Position the terminal conveniently in relation to power and ECR or LAN
connections.
5
Before connecting the terminal to the power pack, complete the installation
by connecting all the cables (see
Connecting the Device
and
Power Up with
the Multiport Cable
).
Stand Mount
In most retail spaces, the terminal is positioned on a stand mount. To install the
terminal on the stand mount:
1
Install the stand mount on the countertop in the desired lane over an
appropriate hole through which the wiring connections can be threaded.
2
Thread all wiring connections through the center of the stand mount.
3
Make all wiring connections.
WARNING
The MX 800 Series terminal is designed for indoor use only.
WARNING
Do not use the MX 800 Series terminal near water, including a bathtub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not use in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.
