Installation
Only use cables and mounting materials provided with the terminal, proper function of the
terminals is not guaranteed when 3
rd
party accessories are used with the exception of the LAN
cable.
-
Always place the rubber gasket provided with the terminals
-
Do not install the ApolloMax in a position where it is exposed to direct rain or hostile
weather.
-
to avoid reflections and guarantee readability, do not expose the display to direct
sunlight
When supporting pin entry
-
for the security of the card-holder, make sure that PIN privacy is guaranteed:
-
locating the display outside the field of vision of cameras, mirrors and so on, and away
from stairs
-
check all local regulations and requirements for PIN privacy
Metal environments will influence the performance of the contactless operating field.
Please ensure that the Apollo terminals are not completely enclosed in a metal
environment otherwise the operating distance will be reduced. An offset of 5 mm along the sides
and rear of the terminal will provide enough distance. If you have any questions with regards to
the mechanical integration, please contact the Payter support desk.
Placing the antenna
1.
Place antenna externally for better signal strength. (Recommended)
2.
If signal strength is strong inside the machine (2+ bars) internal installation could be
considered..
3.
Make sure the antenna is not completely surrounded by metal or mounted on metal.
(reception loss)
4.
Use caution when fastening the external antenna cable to MMCX connector on the terminal,
too much force can damage the connection.
You get the Most Consistent & Reliable Results by placing the antenna on top of the machine.
An optional External Mount Dome Antenna can be provided to help with Performance & Security
Thi
ngs to consider…
•
Radio waves move in a straight line between our antenna and the antenna on the cell
tower
•
They do not go around obstacles, they go through them if they can
•
Glass and wood are no problem but steel and concrete pose a real challenge
•
Consider heating ducts, plumbing and other such obstacles
