Ensure that your mounting frame has a thickness of 2 mm.
Your mounting surface may have different installation instructions. Refer to your mounting device’s user guide for further instructions.
1 Peel off the plastic liner from the front of the unit. 2 Align the reader’s stud holes with the holes of your mounting surface.

Mounting the Device
3 Flush-mount the reader at a 30° angle, for optimum performance of the card
entry slot.
Your device may come with an optional cable retainer. If so, place the cable retainer by the base of the cable connector, and align the studhole of the cable retainer with the mounting hole of the unit.
The cable retainer is then secured along with the unit with the M5 nut (see
Step 4).
4 Secure the unit with M5 nuts.
Use M5 mounting studs with a minimum length of 12 mm.
Tighten the nuts, using a recommended tightening torque of 7.0 kgfcm.

Figure 10 Mounting the Card Reader/Controller
Another mounting option is using welded screw bolts on the inner side of the mounting plate. This may be used in order to prevent any vandalism by way of the screw heads on the outer surface.
5 Connect one side of flexible tubing to the nozzle on the bottom of the unit (see
Figure 2).
6 Hang the other side of the tube out of the VM, or other outside unit.
The nozzle is designed to drain water out of the bezel area, through the flexible tube.

Reader
To ground the reader
When the reader is connected to one of the UX-series PIN pads, it is important to ground your units.
For cable use and ordering information, see Accessories and Documentation.
1 Remove a nut, exposing a stud from the back of the PIN pad unit (do not use
the one from the cable retainer). See (A) in .Figure 11.
2 Attach the grounding cable to the UX300 (P/N WIR159-302-01-A) and the
grounding cable to a ground installation. See (A) in Figure 11.
3 Tighten the nut, to secure the PIN pad.
To tighten the nuts, using a recommended tightening torque of 7.0 kgfcm.
4 Remove a nut, exposing a stud from the back of the UX300 unit. 5 On the UX300 unit stud, attach the other end of the grounding cable from the
PIN pad (P/N WIR159-302-01-A) and the grounding cable to a ground installation (P/N WIR159-302-02-A). See (B) in Figure 11.

Reader
To conduct a card
transaction
Figure 11 Grounding the UX300 and PIN Pad Units
There are three anti-removal service switches: two on the front of the card reader (see Figure 1), and one on the back side of the unit (see Figure 3). These switches detect any unauthorized removal attempts and trigger a sof tware event if the unit is removed in an unauthorized manner. This does not cause any hardware damage to the reader.
The card transaction procedure can vary depending on the application. Verify the proper procedure with your application provider before performing a card transaction.
The UX300 supports both magnetic stripe cards, as well as smart cards. The following section describes how to use the device’s multi-card reader.
The device’s card reader supports both a triple-track card reader, as well as a variety of smart cards.
1 Position the card, with the magnetic stripe facing downward and to the right of
the card, or with the chip on the top right of the card (see Figure 12).
2 Insert the card into the card reader slot in a smooth, continuous motion until it
seats firmly. If using a magnetic card, proceed to Step 3. If using a smart card, proceed to Step 4.
3 Remove the magnetic stripe card.

CAUTION
The unit’s LEDs or peripheral display indicates when the transaction is completed.
When using a magnetic stripe card, the transaction is conducted upon card
removal.

CAUTION
Troubleshooting
Guidelines
This chapter lists possible malfunctions that may occur while operating a UX300 device and the appropriate corrective action. if the problem persists - even after performing the outlined guidelines, or if the problem is not described, contact your local VeriFone representative for assistance.
The unit comes equipped with tamper-evident labels. The reader contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not, under any circumstance, attempt to disassemble the unit. Perform only those adjustments or repairs specifie d in this gu ide. For all other services, contact your local VeriFone service provider. Service conducted by parties other than authorized VeriFone representatives may void any warranty .
Not all units require use of a power supply.
Using an incorrectly rated power supply may damage the unit or cause it not to work properly. Before troubleshooting, ensure that the power supply used to power the unit matches the requirements specified on the back of the unit (see
Specifications for detailed power supply specifications). If not, obtain the
appropriately rated power supply before continuing with troubleshooting.
Transactions
Fail To Process
There are several reasons why the card reader may not be processing transactions. Use the following steps to troubleshoot failures.
Check the Magnetic Card Reader
Perform a test transaction using one or more different magnetic stripe cards to
ensure the problem is not a defective card.
Ensure that you are swiping cards properly. With the card reader, the black
magnetic stripe should face down and outward, toward the outside of the reader.
If possible, process a transaction manually , using an external keypad, instead
of the card reader. If the manual transaction works, the problem may be a defective reader.
If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative.
Check the Smart Card Reader
Perform a test transaction using several different smart cards to ensure the
problem is not a defective card.
