Use only if you have the proper authorization and equipment to open system mode. Please contact your Verifone representative for details.

Mounting the Antenna Unit

The UX402 Antenna Unit is designed to be front-mounted to an installation panel, without further need for any external mounting devices.

Your mounting surface may have different installation instructions. Refer to your mounting device's user guide for further instructions.

  1. Remove the clear protective film from the back of the unit using the tab provided.

  2. Align the unit's stud bolts with the stud holes of the installation panel.

Figure 4: Mounting the UX412 and UX402
  1. Slot the bolts through the installation panel and on through to the EVA clamping plate (VPN PPL159-417-01-A).

  2. Secure the unit with M4 washers and bolts. Tighten the bolts using the recommended tightening torque of 5.0 kgf.cm (0.49 Nm or 4.3 lbf.in).

  1. Remove the clear protective screen from the front of the unit using the tab provided.

Mounting the Controller Unit

This section shows how to attach the Controller Unit to the installation panel for stability and security.

Use the following steps to install the Controller Unit:

Figure 5: Mounting the Controller Unit
  1. Align the Controller Unit mounting holes to the installation panel holes.

  2. Insert four screws and tighten the bolts using a recommended tightening torque of 5.0 kgf.cm (0.49 Nm or 4.3 lbf.in).

Connecting the Antenna Unit to the Controller Unit

Use the following cables to connect the Antenna Unit to the Controller Unit:

  • SMA cable, 0.8 m (VPN CBL159-302-03-A)

  • RJ45 to RJ45 (VPN CBL159-314-01-B)

For EMVCo L1 compliance, please use the provided cables.

Both connections are necessary for using the UX412 to operate.

  1. Connect one end of the SMA coaxial cable to the Controller Unit first and connect the other end to the Antenna Unit.

  2. Connect one end of the RJ45 plug to the rear of the Antenna and the other end to the Controller Unit.

Figure 6: Connecting the UX412 and UX402 Antenna to the Controller Unit

To avoid any damage to the unit, make sure to use only coaxial cable provided by Verifone when connecting the two devices.

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

Contactless Support

This Antenna Unit supports the global contactless program specifications from American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, ISIS Smart Tap, and Google Wallet with virtually no changes to existing payment hardware or software.

Installing SAM Cards

You can find 4 SAM slots on the Controller Unit, located under a removable protective cover (see Figure 7). You may need to install a security access module (SAM) card or replace the old card:

  1. Disconnect the device from all power sources including the external sources.

  2. Slide out and lift the compartment cover. The SAM cardholders are now accessible.

Figure 7: Opening the SAM Cardholder
  1. Install the SAM card by carefully sliding it into the slot until fully inserted.

Figure 8: Inserting SAM Card

Before inserting the SAM card, position it as shown in Figure 8, with the card's gold contacts facing inward. The SAM card has a notch on one corner to ensure that it fits into the connector base in only one way.

  1. Close the SAM cardholder compartment cover.

  2. Power up the device after inserting all the cards into their designated slots.

Connecting Cables

The UX412 Controller Unit rear panel holds several interface ports for power and communications. Use this section to see how the Controller Unit connects to the Antenna Unit.

To get the correct connection cables, please refer to Accessories and Cables.

This section discusses the cable requirements for connecting the Controller Unit with the following host units:

  • Connecting to a Vending Machine

  • Connecting to a PC

Connecting to a Vending Machine or PC

User can connect the Controller Unit to a host Vending Machine (VM) or a PC with any of the following connection types:

  • USB Type A

  • 10/100 Ethernet

For more information regarding the card reader configuration and the cabling needs, contact the local Verifone service provider.

Connecting Power Supply

Verifone ships power supplies with the UX412 on request.

Any questions about which power supply to use, contact the Verifone representative. For more information, refer to Accessories and Cables chapter.

Attach and route all cables between the UX412 and UX402 and all peripheral units before connecting to the power source.

To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical surges, Verifone recommends installing a power surge protector.

Power Connections

The UX412 connects to external power using a power pack (PWR159-00X-01-A) connected to the power port on the Controller Unit.

To connect to a power source:

Connect the power cable to the power port on the UX412 Controller Unit and the other end to the power source.

Figure 9: Connecting Power

Refer to Figure 9 illustration to connect 4 pin plug to the 4 pin socket.

For more information regarding the UX412 and UX402 Controller Unit and Reader configuration, contact the local Verifone service provider. For cable ordering information, refer to Accessories and Cables chapter.

Using the Reader

The contactless reader is only active when signaled by an application for the start of a contactless card transaction.

When the UX402 antenna unit is ready to accept a transaction, the CTLS logo and first LED from the left will light up.

Conducting a Contactless Transaction

To conduct a contactless transaction, hold the card (within 4 cm) or gently tap against the surface of the contactless antenna, marked by the logo.

Figure 10: Conducting a Contactless Transaction

After you tap your card, all the LEDs will light up and the buzzer will sound for about 2 seconds, prompting you to remove your card.

The contactless unit uses various audible and visual confirmations to confirm transactions.

The actual audible and visual confirmations may vary depending on regional and customer requirements.
