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
Note:
Interference Sources:
Special care is required when mounting the MX 900 Series
terminal in sites that utilize anti-theft devices positioned at
doorways or surface mounted deactivator pads. Devices of this
type, such as Sensormatic brand devices, generate strong
electromagnetic fields which may interfere with MX 900 Series
terminals. Always select mounting locations at least 6 feet from
doorway units and at least 18 inches from surface mounted
deactivator pads.
Note:
Mounting Considerations:
Verifone recommends the use of an approved stand for all
mounting situations. Position the terminal conveniently in
relation to power, ECR and LAN connections. Ensure the MX 900
Series terminal is located in a manner that allows customers to
swipe their magnetic cards or insert their Smart Cards in a
smooth and comfortable motion without encountering
obstructions. If the unit will be swiveled during normal operation,
Verifone requires the use of an approved swivel stand. The stand
must limit the swivel to 180 degrees to prevent twisting and
damage to the MX 900 Series cable. After mounting, verify all
cables move freely and do not twist when the unit is rotated
throughout its range of motion.
