Select a location for the terminal that offers adequate ventilation and
protection and is convenient for the user and merchant.
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
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.
Position the terminal conveniently in relation to power and ECR or LAN
connections.
Before connecting the terminal to the power pack, complete the installation
by connecting all the cables (see
the Multiport Cable).
Install the stand mount on the countertop in the desired lane over an
appropriate hole through which the wiring connections can be threaded.
Thread all wiring connections through the center of the stand mount.
Make all wiring connections.
