Installation

Only use cables and mounting materials provided with the terminal, proper function of the terminals is not guaranteed when 3rd party accessories are used with the exception of the LAN cable.

• Always place the rubber gasket provided with the terminals
• Do not install the ApolloMax in a position where it is exposed to direct rain or hostile weather
• To avoid reflections and guarantee readability, do not expose the display to direct sunlight

When supporting pin entry:

• For the security of the card-holder, make sure that PIN privacy is guaranteed
• Locating the display outside the field of vision of cameras, mirrors and so on, and away from stairs
• Check all local regulations and requirements for PIN privacy

Please ensure that the Apollo terminals are not completely enclosed in a metal environment otherwise the operating distance will be reduced.

An offset of 5 mm along the sides and rear of the terminal will provide enough distance. If you have any questions with regards to the mechanical integration, please contact the Payter support desk.

Placing the Antenna

• Place antenna externally for better signal strength. (Recommended)
• If signal strength is strong inside the machine (2+ bars) internal installation could be considered.
• Make sure the antenna is not completely surrounded by metal or mounted on metal. (reception loss)
• Use caution when fastening the external antenna cable to MMCX connector on the terminal, too much force can damage the connection.

An offset of 5 mm along the sides and rear of the terminal will provide enough distance. If you have any questions with regards to the mechanical integration, please contact the Payter support desk.

Things to consider:

• Radio waves move in a straight line between our antenna and the antenna on the cell tower
• They do not go around obstacles, they go through them if they can
• Glass and wood are no problem but steel and concrete pose a real challenge
• Consider heating ducts, plumbing and other such obstacles
