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

The Apollo and ApolloMax terminals support multiple modes of operation to accommodate different integration scenarios and business requirements.

Machine Interface

MDB Mode

MDB stands for multidrop bus. Since the 1980, the multidrop computer bus has been used by vending machine controllers to communicate with the vending machine's components, such as a currency detector. It is now an open standard of the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA).

MDB or Power Supply

Internet Connection

An Internet connection to an Apollo series terminal is required, for configuration of the terminal and online verification of payments, remote management functionality and telemetry.

The following options are available to connect to the internet:

• LAN connection using the onboard RJ45 connector LAN port (Ethernet (100BASE-TX, 10base-10) network port).
• Mobile internet connection using an optional 4G/GSSN modem.

During the booting process, the terminal will check the connection to all configured payment hosts. If a payment host cannot be reached, an error will be displayed revealing the host that cannot be reached. This problem must be resolved before you continue.

Firewall network settings for the Payter Payment Terminal

When the terminal is connected through the LAN Cable or WiFi, it will require open ports in the Firewall. Below you will find a schedule with the required network settings:

The Apollo and ApolloMax terminals offer various customization options to align with your brand identity.

Configuration

The Apollo terminals are continuous connected to the Payter Terminal Management System (TMS). The configuration of the terminals, including Key loading can only be done through the MyPayter TMS portal. The MyPayter portal allows:

• Efficient and timely deployment of keys, configuration updates and payment device firmware
• Remote management of large quantities of Payter Terminals
• Future proof system in which changes in functionality can be applied easily, safely, and quickly, while reducing the Cost of Ownership.
• Continued EMV compliance

The Apollo and ApolloMax terminals offer different mounting options to accommodate various installation scenarios.

Front Mounting

The Apollo series terminals can be directly mounted on the front panel of a machine. The mounting footprint of Figure 5 is applicable for both the Apollo and the ApolloMax terminal.

Front Mounting should NOT be used for outdoor environments, as this makes the terminal more vulnerable to extreme weather conditions (Cold-heat), vandalism and wear and tear.

Front mounting

Make sure that there is an opening in your machine large enough to accommodate the placement of the MDB/power cable and antenna cable or the LAN cable indicated by the orange rectangular in below figure.

EVA mounting

The majority of the vending machines have a provision for installing payment terminals. The dimensions of the Apollo series terminals are based on the European Vending Association (EVA) standard.

Device opening

• Use the supplied mounting frame if no weld studs are available
• Drill mounting holes with a diameter of 4 millimeter at the positions of the indicated weld studs, to allow mounting of the frame.
• Recommended torque setting of 0.8- 1.0 Nm (mounting) or finger tight
