Installation Notes

Cable Restraint

The NCR PX10/PX15 POS (7746) includes cable management features to prevent accidental disconnects and tampering. Some connectors include locking mechanisms and cables that can be routed through the slot in the base.

Footprint

An area of no less than 45 square inches is necessary to properly install a PX10 unit with MSR. This will accommodate the unit as well as its associated mounting hardware. For terminals with customer display, refer to the NCR PX10/PX15 POS (7746) Site Preparation Guide (BCC5-0000-5288) for specific dimensions.

Power

The NCR PX10/PX15 POS (7746) includes a 12V power supply as standard. With the powered USB 24V option, a 24V external power brick is used. The source power of the PX10/PX15 is drawn from a regular AC wall outlet. The electronics are “universal” – that is, they will function when connected to standard wall outlets in most countries around the world. For use in locales other than North America, special wall outlet adapters or cables will be required. For international configurations, the country-specific power cord is ordered separately.

Moisture

The terminal should not be installed in areas where it might be exposed to direct water spray. PX10/PX15 units are not meant for outdoor installation.

Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) Cleaning

Caution:  Prior to cleaning, please ensure that the terminal is not connected to a power supply and not powered on.

Periodically, the MSR may need to be cleaned depending on usage. Pre-saturated MSR cleaning cards can be ordered from NCR (50/box) using part number 1666-K024. Otherwise, wrap a card with a saturated paper towel of glass cleaner and swipe gently to clean the reader head.

Do not to use chlorine-based cleaners, such as Clorox bleach, non-chlorine bleach, or chlorine-based bathroom or mildew cleaners. Also, do not use solvents such as acetone, MEK, TCE, paint thinner, or turpentine.
