electronic skills and experience working with arcade machines.

Do not use in life critical or applications requiring high reliability

The Insert Card Reader is not intended for use in systems that may affect human life
or that require a very high degree of reliability such as medical equipment, nuclear
facilities, aerospace equipment or transportation equipment. Embed does not
assume any liability for accidents resulting in injury or death, or for any damages to
property that may occur as a result of using the product in such facilities, equipment,
or control systems.

Protecting against electrostatic discharge

Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components including the
Embed Insert Card Reader. Please observe electrostatic discharge
precautions for handling or installing this equipment.

Power Supply Details Range

In some markets the Insert Reader includes a recommended universal
power supply requiring mains input of 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz, 0.5A.

Other information and warnings:

 Embed Insert Card Reader is intended for operation between 55 0C and -20

O

C (131 0F and -4 OF).

 Embed Insert Reader is not intended for domestic use.

3 Product Overview:

The ICR is a facing device that features a touchscreen display and is capable of
accepting both traditional magnetic and contactless type cards. Guests insert their card
and interact with the touchscreen for the primary purpose of transacting at games and
attractions.

The device can be mounted in portrait or landscape orientations to best suited the
game and guest accessibility.

Communications with external hardware and servers is accomplished via a connector
on the underside of the ICR which has provision for power and data via unshielded
twisted pair/USB.

Recommended Installation Hardware

The following is a recommended range of hardware to securely install and mount the
ICR. The ICR uses 4mm brass inserts in the base of the enclosure so the appropriate
length 4mm metric screws must be used to properly secure the ICR. All other
hardware can be adjusted to what is most appropriate and available in your area.

M4 metric, pan head, Philips drive, and zinc coated steel screws.

 Used to secure the ICR to the surface of the game or attraction.
 Recommended you have lengths of 10mm, 20mm and 25mm available as

a minimum.

M4 metric, zinc coated steel washers.

 Recommended these are used under every screw.

4 Pre-Installation

 Multi-meter
 Drill
 5 mm drill bit
 Step drill bit up to 20mm
 Phillips screwdriver

 Wire stripper
 Crimp tool for connectors
 Butt connectors
 Cable ties

Wire Tap

Wire Nut

Butt Connector

Before the installation of any hardware, verify the following:

 An adequate earth connection point exists in the game cabinet.
 If the mounting surface is metal, that it is adequately earthed.
 The game credits when a coin is inserted
 The game accurately dispenses tickets
 The coin and ticket meters increment correctly
 Correct any identified faults and retest
 Disconnect the power from the game

It is vital that you are certain the game is in proper working order before beginning
the installation of the Embed hardware. This will prevent confusion later in the
process.

Never source and use wire taps or wire nuts. Wire taps cut into the wire and make a

minimal connection that will deteriorate over time leading to game credit and power
supply related problems. Wire nuts also offer a less-than-desirable connection on the
small gauge wire used in games.

We recommends that crimp type butt connectors be used for wire joins and splicing.
You will need some tools and hardware for the equipment installation and

recommend the following as a minimum.

Vertical/Portrait Orientation

Horizontal/Landscape Orientation

5 ICR Installation

The ICR is best mounted and fixed to a location on the game that ensures it’s easily
accessible to guests. In many cases it’s recommended to mount the ICR over the

existing coin entry point as it is readily accessible and allows use of the existing hole
for cable entry.
The ICR display can be adjusted to accommodate a horizontal (with left or right card
entry) or vertical orientation. The default setting for the display orientation is vertical.

Step 1: Locate the ideal position to mount the ICR.
Step 2: Mark the spots for drilling. Use the ICR mounting template to mark the four

mounting points and the cable connection point.
Step 3: Drill the four mounting points with a 5mm drill-bit. Drill the ICR to IOC

Interface Harness connection hole with a 12.5mm step drill-bit. Clear the holes of
sharp edges to protect the harness.

Step 4: Connect the ICR to IOC Interface harness to the connector in the bottom of
the ICR. Feed this through the hole in the cabinet and position the ICR to line up with
the screw mounting holes. Insert the correct length 4mm screws into the base of the
ICR and tighten.

Step 5: If the mounting surface is metal such as coin door, ensure there is an
adequate earth connection in place. Install an extra earth connection if necessary
using earth wire and a ring terminal secured under one of the ICR mounting screws.
Be sure to remove any surface coating as required to guarantee an adequate
electrical connection.

Network Interface

The ICR interfaces to a network server in a number of ways and this will generally be
determined by the client system.

Via an IO Controller:

At the top of the IOC is a USB port, this accepts an optional Ethernet Dongle for
cabled connections or a Wi-Fi dongle for wireless 802.11N (Wireless support is
pending).

Configuration of the network devices is done through the ICR service menu.

Via a Data-Port Controller

If used with a Data-Port Controller, the interface is purely USB. The ICR is
configured from the Data-Port Controller and the Data-Port Controller is responsible
for communicating with the system server.

Via Dongle

The ICR can be configured to communicate directly through a Wi-Fi or Ethernet
dongle via a modified harness.

Network Configuration

Configure the network settings by following these steps

1. Press and hold the service button on the harness connected to access the
“Service Mode”.

2. Select the following buttons, Configure -> Network Settings

3. Using the touchscreen configure the settings as advised by your system
administrator.

NOTE: Support for Wi-Fi related setting such as SSID, Security is pending final
development and release.
