Octopus Installation & User Manual – APPENDIX C
C3
iButton Reader
Mount the iButton Reader module in a place that is easy to access and highly visible
to any ATM service technicians. It should be located inside the lockable outer ATM
cabinet for security, but outside of the ATM safe. Route the iButton cable to the
MCU location.
MCU
Mount the MCU using hook-and-latch mounting tape, and attach all wiring.
Mounting Notes:
a) Communication between the MCU and CSU is the best when the MCU has an
unobstructed path to the CSUs. (Note: The antenna on the MCU is on the opposite
side from the PTT button.)
b) Always mount the MCU with the power plug facing up to prevent accidental
unplugging.
c) The MCU PTT button and LEDs will generally face to the rear of the ATM. They
are not intended for customer use.
d) Ideally the MCU should be mounted on the non-hinge side, forward (as close to
door as possible), and low on the mounting wall. If the MCU is to be installed on
the hinge side of the ATM, it should be placed as far back from the door as
possible.
e) Do not place the MCU against the rear wall of the ATM where it is obstructed by
the bill picker. In 2-cassette machines this location may be acceptable, as long as
the unit is mounted low on the rear wall.
