Device Setup

This section outlines the setup procedures for the UX700 card reader and controller, covering the following segments:

Contactless Considerations

The contactless antenna is located around the display. Ensure that the metallic objects such as the frame case are kept at a minimum distance of 20 mm away from the edge of the device.

Selecting Unit Location

Use the following guidelines when selecting a location for your device.

  • Select a location convenient for the customer.

  • Avoid dusty, hot, or damp locations.

  • To minimize data reading or writing errors, pick a location free from magnetic interference. Choose a spot a safe distance away from objects or units that generate magnetism.

Choosing Mounting Location

Choose a mounting location that has good access to both card insertion into the chip reader and has enough space to swipe the card through the MSR (Magnetic Stripe Card Reader) reader.

The front panel of the device meets the IP65 standards for installation in outdoor environments.

Inside the Shipping Carton

Open the shipping carton and carefully inspect its contents for possible tampering or shipping damage. The device is a secure product. Tampering causes it to cease to function or to operate in an unsecured manner.

Unpacking the Shipping Carton

To unpack the shipping carton:

1

Carefully inspect the shipping carton and its contents for possible tampering or damage.

Inspect the shipping carton and its contents for possible tampering or damage.

2

Validate the authenticity of the sender.

Validate the authenticity of the sender by verifying the shipping tracking number and other information located on the product order paperwork.

3

Remove and inspect the shipping carton box.

The carton box includes the following:

  • Device

  • Mounting frame

Power supply and connectivity cables are shipped separately or depending upon the customer's requirements.

4

Remove all plastic wrapping from the device and components.

5

Remove the clear protective film from the display.

6

Inspect the terminal for possible tampering.

See how to identify signs of tampering in the section Periodic Inspection.

Periodic Inspection

Periodically inspect the terminal for possible tampering. Signs of tampering include:

  • Overlays in the PIN pad area.

  • Wires protruding out of the device.

  • Foreign objects inserted into the smart card slot or magnetic stripe slot.

  • Any bumps in the casing below the mag stripe slot and any noticeable additional mag stripe head from the side.

  • Signs of damage to the tamper-evident labels.

  • A Tamper Warning message on the device display.

If any device is found to have been tampered with, please remove it from service immediately, keep it available for a potential forensics investigation, and notify your company security officer and your local Verifone representative or service provider. To contact Verifone, please see Verifone Service and Support.

Installing or Replacing SAM Cards

You may need to install a Security Access Module (SAM) card or replace the old card. You can find three SAM slots and one Micro SD card slot on the UX700 (see Figure 2).

To install or replace SAM cards

1

Disconnect the device from all power sources.

2

Disconnect the device from any external devices.

3

Carefully slide the SAM card into the slot.

Align the card and carefully slide it into the slot until fully inserted.

Figure 2: Installing SAM Card
  • The SAM card holders ensure that cards fit into the slots in only one way.

  • The rectangular symbols show the SAM card's notched corners are always visible. These indicate which way the card notch should face before you insert the card into the SAM slot.

  • The circular symbols indicate the SAM card slot numbers.

4

Install additional SAM cards in the available slots as necessary.

Inspecting the Connection Port

The device has dedicated input/output connectors: Ethernet, RS-232, USB-A, USB-B, and DC power.

To Connect the Terminal Power Supply

The UX700 device can be powered from a PSU in the non-Verifone system or by a Verifone Power supply. It can be connected using a 4-pin or 6-pin plug.

Figure 3: UX700 Power Supply Connection

TIP - To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical surges, consider installing a power surge protector.

To Connect the Terminal to a PC

There are two RS232 connections COM1 (Communications port) & COM2. Insert the RS-232 cable into the UX700 device and the PC.

Figure 4: Connecting to a PC

To Connect the Device to the LAN

Insert the Ethernet cable to the UX700 device and the socket.

To Enable Service Switch

This service switch is used to select a safe boot for the Android processor.

Figure 6: Service Switches

Service switch:

During power up, press and hold the service switch to access the Android Processor boot loader. Or press the service switch to start the Android Sysmode application.

EDL (emergency download) switch:

This switch is used to access the Android Processor Emergency Download mode.

These switches should be used only by the authorised service centers.

Disconnecting Cables

To disconnect cables, use the same steps described above in reverse. If exchanging cables, use Verifone-approved cables. See Accessories and Cables for cable part numbers and ordering information.

Mounting the Device

Use the following procedure to mount the UX700 to a suitable mounting surface.

To mount the unit

Figure 7: Mounting the UX700

Align the UX700 stud holes with the holes on the mounting surface.

1

Place the reader flush onto the mounting slot.

2

Secure the unit with M4 Washer and Screws.

Tighten the Screws using the recommended torque of 7.0 kg-cm (6.1 lbf.in).

Using the Smart Card Reader

Insert the smart card to proceed with the EMV transaction. EMV supports credit card and debit card transactions.

To Conduct a Smart Card Transaction

1

Position the smart card with the contacts facing upward.

2

Insert the card into the reader slot in a smooth, continuous motion until it sits firmly.

3

Wait for the application to indicate a completed transaction before removing the card.

Premature card removal invalidates the transaction.

Figure 8: Inserting a Smart Card

Using the Device

Card transaction procedures vary depending on the application. Verify the proper procedure with your application provider before performing a card transaction.

Using the Multi-Card Reader

The UX700 supports magnetic stripe cards as well as smart cards. Use the following steps in conducting UX700 card transactions.

To conduct a Card Transaction

1

Position the card with the magnetic stripe facing backward.

2

To ensure a proper read of the magnetic swipe card, insert the magnetic card from the side of the device, as shown in the illustration below.

3

Swipe the card through the magnetic card reader.

Figure 9: Using the Multi-Card Reader

These switches should be used only by the authorized service centers.

4

If using a card, insert the card and follow the on-screen instructions before removing the card.

CTLS Transaction

The UX700 device supports contactless credit or debit card transactions. To perform a CTLS (Contactless) transaction, gently tap the card or hold the card on the surface of the display on the contactless logo.

ATEX Notice

Schedule of Limitations

  1. Under certain extreme circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated in the enclosure of this equipment may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge. Therefore, the equipment shall not be installed in a location where the external conditions are conducive to the build-up of electrostatic charge on such surfaces. In addition, the equipment shall only be cleaned with a damp cloth.

  2. All connectors shall be connected or disconnected only when an explosive atmosphere isn't present.

  3. PSCR and MSR connectors can be used only when an explosive atmosphere isn't present.

  4. When installing the POS Terminal on the final product, the final product must ensure that the IP rating maintains at least IP54 and be verified by ExNB.

  5. When installing the POS Terminal on the final product, appropriate protection is required to prevent the POS Terminal screen from being directly impacted by external forces.

  6. The measured maximum temperature is 83.51°C on the PCB inside the POS Terminal. The final Temperature Class shall be determined in the final product.
