4. Specification
This chapter informs you about the features, the technical data
and the intended use of Mini II.
Mini II is a stationary POS system that consists of two components: the stationary POS system and the power supply Vectron
PS60/PS61 with a power cord.
4.1. Mini II POS system
Mini II is a stationary POS system, which you can also use
without network connection.
The two housing parts of Mini II consist of anthracite
plastic with a chrome-plated metal frame. A metal hinge
connects the two housing parts. The design of the upper
housing parts prevents splash water and crumbs from
penetrating.
The hinge between display- and keyboard housing allows
tilting the display vertically in order to adjust it to your
field of vision.
EN
Via the touch screen you enter data like bookings with your
finger or the touch pen. You can also enter data by pressing the keys of the flat keyboard.
A brightness sensor in the keyboard housing meters the
illuminance and controls the display brightness.
An operator lock is mounted to the keyboard housing of
Mini II. With the appropriate operator key you log in to
Mini II. Your Vectron dealer should have configured the
operator lock for you.
19
POS MINI II
The keyboard housing of Mini II has a compartment for
Vectron specialist dealer information, to which your
Vectron dealer should have inserted a card with contact
information.
In a network you can configure the Mini II as client or as
server. A client sends for example data to a server, which
manages the POS systems network and processes the
received data.
Your Vectron dealer can integrate the Mini II via network
interface to a POS system network, so that the Mini II can
receive data via the network and send data to other POS
systems.
A loudspeaker is integrated to the display housing of
Mini II. Mini II uses sounds to inform you about received
messages, which were sent e.g. by a ServiceCall. Please
ask your Vectron dealer to configure the sounds for you.
At the bottom of Mini II you find a bracket with ports. In
addition to the internal loudspeaker you can connect stereo loudspeakers to the audio port.
20
The six USB- and six serial ports at the bottom serve for
connecting external devices like e.g. printers, customer
displays and scanners. At the left side of Mini II there are
two more USB ports for connecting e.g. an USB stick or a
USB keyboard.
Mini II provides two ports to which you can connect cash
drawers. By means of a Y-cable you can connect up to four
cash drawers.
Mini II has a cache and a flash memory. In case of power
failure, the cache, where data is stored during operation
of the Mini II, is supplied with power by means of a buffer
battery. After switching off the Mini II data is stored in the
flash memory.
An SD-card slot is inserted in the Mini II. It serves for
reading and writing on SD-cards and SDHC-cards, e.g. for
storing and restoring data. For this purpose you require an
SD-card, which is not included in delivery.
Your Vectron dealer can mount a customer display to the
customer display connection of Mini II , which shows texts
and graphics. Please ask your Vectron dealer if you want
him to mount and configure a customer display.
Your Vectron dealer should have configured and programmed the Mini II according to your requests.

POS MINI II
4.2. Vectron POS software
4.3. Use as directed
Mini II is supplied with Vectron POS software, which your
Vectron dealer configured and programmed.
All Vectron POS systems use the same software. The user
interface can be adjusted individually to the different mobile and stationary POS systems.
The functions that can be used with the installed Vectron
POS software depend on the applied software version, configuration and programming of the Mini II.
Mini II may be used as POS system. The power supply Vectron PS60/PS61 may be used for supplying the Mini II with
power.
Use the supplied power cord with safety plug to connect
Mini II and power supply Vectron PS60/PS61 to a grounded
socket. Using other power supplies and power cords is not
as directed. The power supply network must be protected
with a fault current circuit breaker.
22
Mini II and power supply Vectron PS60/PS61 must not be
opened. During normal operation of Vario II the port covers must not be removed from the ports. POS system and
accessories must not be changed.
The operating company of Mini II is responsible for storage
and backup of data created with the Mini II. The data is to
be processed and stored in such a way that they comply
with e.g. the demands of fiscal authorities.
Depending on configuration and programming of the Vectron POS software, operators can modify the stored data,
configuration and programming of the Mini II, for instance
the PLU- or rights table for operators. Furthermore, operators can carry out functions like void if these are enabled
in the rights management of the POS system.
You should protect yourself against undesired changes of
the above mentioned parts of programming. This can be
achieved by using operator keys, RFID cards and passwords.
Each operator should be assigned his required authorization in the rights table of the POS system. Operator keys
and RFID cards, which enable these rights, must exclusively
be accessible to the respective operators. The passwords
must exclusively be known by the respective operators.
Operator rights must be assigned thoroughly, since operators - depending on their rights - can change or delete
data, configuration and programming of Mini II. These
changes can cause you financial damage or lead to penal
consequences, for instance if the stored data does no
longer comply with demands of the fiscal authorities.
The operating company is responsible for assigning the operator rights. Prior to starting, your Vectron dealer should
draw up a concept for the assignment of operator rights
together with you. Each operator of Mini II should exclusively be granted the rights he requires.
EN
Your Vectron dealer is responsible for programming and
configuration of the Mini II. Vectron advises you not to
modify the programming and configuration yourself.
Please contact your Vectron dealer for any questions and
demands concerning programming and configuration.
Mini II and the power supply Vectron PS60/PS61 must be
operated under ambient conditions as described in chapter
4.4 “Technical data” on page 25 . The Mini II must not
23
POS MINI II
be set up in the open. Operating the components out of
these ambient conditions is not as directed.
The touch screen must exclusively be touched with touch
pen or fingers.
Operation of Mini II is exclusively allowed with Vec tron
original accessories or accessories approved by Vec tron.
Your Vectron dealer will inform you about accessories that
you can use together with the Mini II.
Keep the packaging material for dispatch purposes. Send
the Mini II exclusively in its original packaging. Vec tron
Systems AG does not accept liability for damages due to
improper packaging.
Use as directed also includes the reading and understanding of this user manual. In addition, the accidental
regulations of the professional organizations have to be
observed.
Any other use than the one described is not as directed.
Vec tron Systems AG does not accept liability for damages
or injuries resulting from improper use.
