Connecting Data Cables from the Mat Reader Interface Box
Low Frequency Mat Reader
1 Position Mat Reader face down.
Figure:
Bottom Side of Mat Reader - Low Frequency
2 Select side for ribbon cable (M01872A001) connection based on counter top configuration
requirements.
Note: The Mat Reader is designed to be placed on a counter top beside or adjacent to a cash
register or point-of-sale (POS) terminal. If properly positioned, the Mat Reader ribbon
cable will “disappear” underneath the existing POS equipment. The ribbon cable will
penetrate the counter top via the same hole used by the POS power and data cables.
Double-sided tape (not provided) may be used to secure the Mat Reader and/or the
ribbon cable in position on the counter top.
3 Install strip of acrylic foam tape (K85492-72) in base of channel on side selected for ribbon
cable.
4 Peel second release liner, exposing adhesive.
5 Carefully connect the P1/P2 end of the ribbon cable (M01872A001) to the back side of the
Mat Reader.
Note: The cable can be plugged in from either side; the orientation does not matter. Be sure
the cable will be flat and not twisted once the Mat Reader is face up.
