2.2.3 Output Connectors RS232: Recommended Standard 232 (RS232) is a protocol for serial communication. There is an RJ45 port on the IM15, labeled as RS232, which uses this protocol and has the following pinout: Table 4: RS232 pinout signal POWER_IN...
USB: Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a widely adopted communication protocol used across a broad range of electronic devices. The IM15 has both a USB Type A and Type C port available for use. Table 6: USB pinout (Type A host)
Digital IO: Digital input and output signals can be used to directly interface with a CPU to perform custom functions. The IM15 implements a custom 6 pin digital IO port using a WAGO 733- 336 header. This port can be programmed to accept a variety of inputs or output a specific control signal.
Ethernet: Ethernet is a common networking protocol for local area networks. The IM15 has a Ethernet 10/100 Base-T port that it can use to connect to a wired LAN. Table 10: Ethernet port pinout signal Figure 9: Ethernet port PAX TECHNOLOGY LIMITED...
Figure 10: IM15 back cover Figure 11: SIM card installation (back cover; 4G board front; 4G board reverse) The SIM card slot is located on the 4G network board of the IM15. Take the following steps to install a SIM card in the IM15: Remove the back cover of the IM15 by unscrewing it from the body of the device.
The IM15 has 2 mirco-SIM (2FF) sized SAM card slots available for use. Figure 12: SAM card slots The SAM card slots are located under the 4G network board of the IM15. Take the following steps to install a SAM card in the IM15: 1.
2.2.7 Code Scanning Camera The IM15 has a code scanning camera located on the bottom right corner of its front face. Figure 14: code scanning camera This 2 megapixel camera is designed to read common 1D or 2D codes. The camera is equipped with an LED that provides lighting during the code scanning process.
2.2.9 Contactless Card Reader The IM15 has a contactless card reader with an RF antenna located on front face. The read area for this card reader roughly corresponds to the entire front face of the device. Figure 16: contactless card reader interface area The contactless card reader reads cards and devices placed roughly parallel to the area indicated in Figure 16: contactless card reader interface area from a distance of anywhere from 0 to 4 cm.
Figure 17: speaker The IM15 speaker can output audio signals of up to 80 dB at a distance of 10 cm, the volume is software controlled and can be adjusted. This can be used to output user prompts for the card reader and code scanner as well as default tones for presses of the functional keys or occurrences of errors.
IM15 unit. Figure 18: device dimensions (mm) 3.2 Mounting Bracket The IM15 are equipped with a mounting bracket that allows it to be fixed into place on a mounting plate. PAX TECHNOLOGY LIMITED Page 21 of 26 Product Manual...
3.3 Mounting Plate Dimension The IM15 is designed to be mounted on vertical surfaces through a mounting plate. The following is one such example that can be used along with the mounting bracket included with the IM15. Figure 19: mounting plate dimensions (mm) These dimensions are those of a standard door module as defined by the European Vending Association.
After the mounting bracket is secured to the mounting plate, insert the IM15 unit through the front of the mounting plate into the mounting bracket. Apply a torque of 1.2 ± 0.2 Nm to the four M4 screws to secure the IM15 to the mounting bracket through its four inner mounting points.
Q: Why is the screen blank after startup? If the PAX logo appears during the startup procedure, check that whatever applications installed into the device are operating properly. If the PAX logo does not appear, contact an agent from your local vendor to repair the device.

Then check that the network setting is compatible with the device you wish to use (the IM15 uses DHCP). Make sure that the name and password of the network you are attempting to connect to are both correct. Check to see if the network you are attempting to connect to only accepts preset IP or MAC addresses;...

Q: What should I do if there are errors while using the USB port? Use the USB cable packaged with the IM15 unit instead of a third party cable. Do not use an USB hub, directly attach the cable to whatever device is being linked.
