Hardware Installation
Procedure Overview
When Omnicell cabinets (with Color Touch or OptiFlex software) are ordered with a magnetic stripe or bar
code card reader, they are shipped with the feature installed from manufacturing. Most cabinets (except for the
Anesthesia Workstation) can also be retrofitted with the card reader at the customer facility.
The card reader housing has a place for a finger sensor. If ordered with a fingerprint scanner, the applicable
scanner mechanism is installed in manufacturing. If the cabinet has an existing fingerprint scanner, it can be
retrofitted with a housing containing a card reader and a fingerprint scanner.
Note:
This document only covers the retrofit of either card reader (magnetic stripe or bar code) by itself. If
retrofitting a card reader with a fingerprint scanner, refer to document #60-3011, Touch & Go Fingerprint
Scanner Installation and Configuration Guide .
This chapter provides installation procedures that can be performed by a qualified Omnicell representative. The
procedures are for the following cabinet types:
OmniRx/OmniTT/Half-Cell/Anesthesia TT
Color Touch / OptiFlex Cabinets
OptiFlex only supports the mag card reader. It does not support the fingerprint scanner or the bar code
reader.
Anesthesia Work Station (AWS)
Card reader retrofits for AWS are not currently supported. However, the housing assembly may be
replaced as needed.
These procedures are based on installation to the following sleds by cabinet type:
Sure-Med; US Logic motherboard
Omnicell/OptiFlex; ETX motherboard
Perform any necessary sled upgrades prior to installing the card reader.
Retrofit Instructions
This section lists the required kit by reader type. The retrofit instructions are organized by cabinet type. The
instructions are the same for either card reader. Each sub-section specifies the tool needed for the specific
cabinet type retrofit. Refer to “Kit Listing” on page A-4 for kit list details.
Minimum Requirements
The following minimum hardware and software requirements are for OmniSupplier cabinets:
Cabinet must be an OmniSupplier Color Touch
© 2010 Omnicell, Inc. Omnicell/OptiFlex Card Reader Installation and Configuration Guide/67-2006 Rev G
1-2 Hardware Installation
Retrofit Instructions
Color Touch software version JT5.4.3.2, or higher
OmniCenter software version 7.0.3.1, or higher
If the Card Only Positive ID option is not required, the minimum software requirements are:
Color Touch JT5.3.2.2
OmniCenter 6.0.5.3
OptiFlex cabinets require 8.0 software or higher.
Required Kits
Although there is more than one type of card reader, the card reader kits looks similar. The components in the
housing are different and have different kit numbers. If the card reader fails, the components are not
serviced—rather the whole housing is replaced. Only kits #14-1199 and 14-1209 are OptiFlex compatible.
