Installing the ViVOpay Vend III
2.1
Overview
Before you connect and mount the ViVOpay VEND III, you should plan the installation to conform to PCI requirements
and minimize radio frequency interference. Once you have determined the location and mounting of the ViVOpay
VEND III, you can connect it to power and the control unit. Finally, you should test the ViVOpay VEND III to make sure
the installation is successful.
2.2
Site Planning
Environmental considerations affect how you install the ViVOpay VEND III. You should consider objects and
devices near the reader that may affect the performance of the contactless radio frequency antenna.
2.2.1
Radio Frequency Interference
To perform contactless transactions, the ViVOpay VEND III 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 VEND III closer than 1 foot (30 cm) to other ViVOpay readers or other RF-
emitting devices (non-NFC). Some environments may require greater distances.
Do not position the ViVOpay VEND III near radio transmitters.
Avoid placing the ViVOpay VEND III on or near large metal objects.
2.2.2
User Access
The ViVOpay VEND III is design for unattended use. Is is important to consider the following factors when
lanning the location of the reader.
p
Clear visibility of the display
Anticipate the angles at which the user may be viewing the display to maximize visibility.
Make sure the user can easily reach the reader
Provide access to the reader to push buttons and tap or swipe cards.
No obstructions in the MSR swipe path
Make sure nothing is blocking the entrance or exit of a card passing through the MSR.
