NCR Orderman Columbus800 User Guide V01.00 Hardware Installation
Moisture
The Columbus800 units should not be installed in areas where they might be exposed to direct
water spray. Columbus800 units are not meant for outdoor installation.
Touch Screen Cleaning
Any standard glass cleaner that is not ammonia based or water can be used to clean the
touchscreen. Always spray the glass cleaner on the cloth or towel and then clean the touchscreen to
prevent cleaner from running down the glass and gathering on the front bezel.
Magnetic Strip Reader (MSR) Cleaning
Periodically, the MSR may need to be cleaned depending on usage. Pre-saturated MSR cleaning
cards can be ordered from NCR (50/box) using part number 1666-K024. Otherwise, wrap a card
with a saturated paper towel of glass cleaner and swipe gently to clean reader head.
Biometric Cleaning
Periodically, the biometric reader may need to be cleaned depending on usage. For this optical
reader, it is recommended to apply the sticky side of a piece of adhesive cellophane tape to the
window, and then peel it away. This works best and avoids chemicals which may damage the
material. An alternative is to use any type of household cleaner, such as Formula 409, Fantastic,
Windex, etc. Use a soft rag, cotton swab, or something non-abrasive to gently clean the reader
surface. Do not use alcohol based cleaners. Always spray the cleaner on the rag or swab first to
avoid liquid pooling around the reader. Remove the excess liquid. Do not to use chlorine based
cleaners, such as Clorox bleach, non-chlorine bleach, or chlorine based bathroom / mildew cleaners.
Also, do not use solvents such as acetone, MEK, TCE, paint thinner, or turpentine. The power
should be removed from the terminal prior to cleaning.
