MDB+EXE: The Executive protocol (also known as BDV 001 protocol) is a communication protocol used in the vending machine industry in certain locales in Europe. The IM30 has a custom 20 pin connector that functions as an MDB master port as well as an Executive port.
AUX Jack: The auxiliary jack is a term for a variety of analog port usually made to transfer audio-visual data. The IM30 has a 3.5 mm auxiliary jack that can output a stereo audio signal and accept the input of a microphone.
Figure 17: SIM & SAM card slots Every available model of the IM30 has at least 2 micro-SIM sized SAM card slots on the main body of the device as illustrated in Figure 14: SAM card mounts. These two card slots are normally hidden under the 4G module outlined in Figure 13: 4G module (outlined in blue hatch).
2.2.5 Touchscreen The IM30 has a 5" LCD capacitive touchscreen located on its front face. Figure 18: touchscreen (outlined in blue hatch) This display has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and is equipped with an adjustable LED backlight. This touchscreen functions as the primary user interface for the device as well as the primary mechanism for the device to display information to users.
Figure 19: front facing camera (in blue) This 2 megapixel (1616 x 1232) camera is capable of capturing video or photos of anything facing the front of the IM30 unit. Its primary purpose is for facial recognition in localities where such a function would be useful.
Figure 20: code scanning camera and position indicator LED (in blue and green respectively) This 0.3 megapixel (648 x 488) camera located near the bottom of the IM30 is designed to read common 1D or 2D codes (such as barcodes and QR codes). The camera is paired with a position indicator LED that allows users to orient their coupons, cards, or mobile devices so that the code is positioned at the optimal location and distance when the light from the LED directly illuminates the code.
2.2.8 Magnetic Strip Card Reader The IM30 has a magnetic strip card reader located on right hand side of the device. Figure 21: magnetic strip card reader (outlined in blue) Magnetic Strip Card Reader triple track reading bidirectional reading ...
2.2.9 Smart Card Reader The IM30 has a magnetic smart card reader located on bottom side of the device. Figure 22: smart card reader (outlined in blue) Smart Card Reader reads 1.8V, 3V and 5V synchronous and asynchronous cards ...
2.2.10 Contactless Card Reader The IM30 has a contactless card reader with an RF antenna located on its front face. The read area for this card reader roughly corresponds to the top half of the touchscreen on the front of the device.
2.2.11 Proximity Detector The IM30 has a optical proximity detector located near the lower right side of its front face. Figure 24: proximity detector (optical emitter in blue, receiver in green) The proximity sensor detects light in the visible spectrum and is tuned to detect objects within 5 to 8 cm of the sensor.
2.2.12 LED Status Indicator The IM30 has a RGB status indicator LED located near the lower right side of its front face near the proximity detector. Figure 25: LED status indicator (highlighted in blue) The operation of the LED status indicator is software controlled and depends on the specific configuration of the device.
3.1 Device Dimensions The IM30 has the physical dimensions shown in Figure 26. Note that various cables plug directly into the back of the device, so greater clearance than shown for the back end of the device is needed to properly install an IM30 unit.
3.2 Mounting Bracket The IM30 is equipped with a plastic mounting bracket that allows it to be fixed into place on a mounting plate. Figure 27: mounting bracket (outward oriented face) PAX TECHNOLOGY LIMITED Page 28 of 35 Product Manual...
Figure 28: mounting bracket dimensions 3.3 Mounting Plate Dimension The IM30 is designed to be mounted on vertical surfaces through a mounting plate. Figure 29: mounting plate dimensions (mm) These dimensions are those of a standard door module as defined by the European Vending Association.
Installing the mounting bracket The first step to installing the IM30 as part of an unattended payment terminal is to secure the mounting bracket onto the mounting plate. The back of the mounting plate should have four M4 stud bolts that correspond to the four outer mounting points on the mounting bracket.
Installing the IM30 unit After the mounting bracket is secured to the mounting plate, insert the IM30 unit through the front of the mounting plate into the mounting bracket. Then apply a torque of 1.2 ± 0.2 Nm to the four M4 screws to secure the IM30 to the mounting bracket through its four inner mounting points.
