SELECTING A LOCATION
The terminal is designed for unattended use both indoors and
outdoors. Electrical installations where the VALINA is installed
must comply with local and regional codes for office and resi-
dential electrical wiring, such as International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC).
Finding a proper location is an important aspect of installing
VALINA components.
Follow the guidelines given here, and also check local
requirements:
• Select a location on the machine that is conveniently
accessible.
• On the front side of the vending machine, make sure that:
– the VALINA fits in the mounting position.
– the VALINA faces the cardholder and will be clearly visible.
– the display is readable.
– the card slot is accessible.
• Avoid a position that exposes the VALINA to rain or hostile
weather.
• Mount the VALINA vertically (recommended), and never
less than 50 ° from the horizontal: this reduces the risk of
water getting into the chip-card reader.

• Make sure air can circulate freely around the components.
Take extra measures to avoid condensation or humidity inside
the vending-machine or other location when the VALINA is
being integrated in an outdoor environment. Installing moder-
ate levels of heating and/or ventilation can help, as can
leaving the terminal active at all times.
• To avoid reflections and to guarantee readability, do not
expose the display to direct sunlight.
• For the security of the card-holder, make sure that PIN
privacy is guaranteed:
– by locating the display outside the field of vision of
cameras, mirrors and so on, and away from stairs.
– by checking all local regulations and requirements for
PIN privacy.
• For the convenience of the technician, make sure there
is sufficient space on the vending machine to:
– access the ground connection.
– guide the cables without folding them, and use cable ties.
– fit the mounting brace that fastens the terminal tightly into
the machine
– access the rear side of the VALINA.
• The maximum permitted length of the cable between the
VALINA and the vending machine controller (VMC) is 3 m.
