An example of a Multi-vend communication harness can be seen below in Fig. 4a as well as a limited example of what may be available to configure using a Multi-vend setup (depending upon machine type) in Fig. 4b.
- A multi-vend harness will always connect to the FasCard reader on the connection labeled "A" in figure 2a, above.
- The board-side end of the harness will vary by machine/connection type.
- A partial list of machines supporting Multi-vend configuration can be found here: Multi Level Vend Functionality.

- Locate the power terminal housing the power leads. In most cases, this can be identified by the way the terminal is labeled (L1, L2, N, etc.).
- In some instances, this can also be traced by finding where the 120v/240v grounded power plug itself leads to within the machine.
- Attach the necessary spade taps for power application:
- In this example, 1st Hot (L1) and 2nd Hot/Neutral (L2/N) power connections are labeled.
- In some instances, the different line wires (typically black for Hot, white for Neutral, in a three-phase circuit) can be interchangeably connected to hot or neutral power connections.
- Green wire must be connected to ground. Depending on the kit/harness, this may be either through a third (ground) spade tap, or a ground terminal/lug:
- In this example, 1st Hot (L1) and 2nd Hot/Neutral (L2/N) power connections are labeled.
- Connect the FasCard Power Adapter Harness leads to their respective spade taps. If the green (ground) wire was also tapped, ensure the green wire connects to the ground spade.
- (Also shown in step 3) Connect the opposite end of the FasCard Power Adapter Harness to the input harness of the FasCard power supply.
- Connect the output harness of FasCard Power Supply to the output side of the FasCard Power Extension Harness.
- Connect the 3-pin input end of the Power Extension harness to the power port on the FasCard/FLEX reader.
Secure the power supply and any cabling inside the machine as needed. Examples may include existing clips, zip ties, electrical tape, double-sided tape, etc.
