The encoding module has a motherboard with multiple connectors to link up to the contact and contactless smart card encoders. Such encoders can be placed in a dedicated area located behind the Quantum, and subsequently, be connected to the printer.
Evolis. In compliance with the safety, quality, assembly and connections guidelines, users can customize the Quantum to their specific needs, when, for example, switching from a Mifare encoder to a device that manages HID Prox cards.
The module can be replaced by the user with no tools needed, simply by following the instructions very carefully. Before doing anything else, please contact your Evolis dealer in order to check the advisability of replacing the encoding module. The dealer will supply a new encoding module if need be.

to exchange the encoding module, please proceed as follows: Replacing the encoding module should only be done after turning the machine off and unplugging the mains power cable. Ê open the encoding module cover. Ë remove the encoding module found inside the machine. Ì...
Connecting an encoder to the electronic board requires advanced skills. A connector kit with cables and connectors is available from the Evolis product list. It is recommended that the use of any connectivity accessories, other than those provided by Evolis, is totally avoided in order to prevent damages (e.g.
overview of the connectors ä The connectors required for integrating an encoder are provided on the motherboard of the encoding module. The following figure (top view taken from the back) shows all available connectors, as well as their purpose and type. Each connector has a reference number, stated in the technical charts, to identify each and every cable terminal.

The choice between these two connectors is left to the technician. To avoid failures, check that the intensity during operation does not exceed the maximum intensity delivered by Quantum (see Consumption chart in Appendix 2). connecting the encoders to a port of the internal Usb hub ä...

- Use of an external smart card encoder. The encoder is plugged into the external DB9 (factory settings, if the printer is shipped without the encoder) This mode supports all Evolis products that come with a smart card encoder option (Pebble, Dualys, Securion) case 2 - Use of an internal smart card encoder.
Monitoring the contactless smart card encoder (rs232 or ttl) ä (Items colored blue) This chapter describes how to connect a contactless smart card encoder with an integrated or remote antenna. The antenna-connecting process varies according to the encoder profile and is therefore not addressed in the manual.

A contactless smart card station can be connected in various ways. The most common ones are the following: case 1 - Use of an internal smart card encoder with a TTL interface that requires a TTL ä RS232 conversion. Output to the DB9 connector case 2 - Use of an internal smart card encoder that has a RS232 data interface.
