6. VP5300M Installation
This section provides information on how to install the VP5300M in an
enclosure.
Note that the unit may be installed edgewise (vertically), or in a
horizontal manner. It can also be bolted to or custom-mounted flush
with a surface. In the latter case, make sure to allow a 3mm (minimum)
cutout clearance around the edge of the metal face flange (assuming
the enclosure is metallic) to maintain good NFC performance. Do not
tightly flush-mount the unit to a metal enclosure. Test NFC
performance thoroughly to be sure no interference or signal
attenuation occurs.
6.1. Parts List
Verify that you have the following hardware for installing the
VP5300M:
• IDM-1XX: VP5300M product
• (Optional) VP5300M NFC Antenna P/N ID-80152002-003 and it
includes these 2 cables - P/N 80152235-001 & 80152236-001) to
use for VP5300M’s contactless (NFC) capabilities.
• USB cable P/N 80171201-001, or RS-232 cable P/N 80171203-001.
• Power supply P/N AC0005R-12 with cable 80171204-001.
6.2. Installing the Reader
Refer to the VP5300M 3-view drawing. Verify that power cords can
physically reach the unit. Then proceed to:
• Locate, mark, and drill holes for the mounting points of the
unit.
• Secure the unit to the enclosure with bolts or screws of
appropriate depth. Note that the anti-tamper nubs, located on the
unit's left side, must be depressed when the unit is mounted.
6.3. Mounting the VP5300M External NFC Antenna
Refer to the VP5300M Antenna 3-view drawing. If you are using the
VP5300M’s contactless capability, you will need to install the
optional NFC antenna and its cabling.
Use the following instructions to mount the antenna on the exterior of
a kiosk.
Note: It is recommended that you experiment with and verify the
orientation of the VP5300M NFC Antenna before marking and drilling
mounting holes, ensuring that the antenna is far enough away from the
main body of the VP5300M so that insertion of a "tap card" in the
unit's contact-EMV slot doesn't trigger an unwanted NFC interaction.
Important: Mark holes in such a way as to ensure that the NFC Antenna
is oriented with the LEDs at the top.
