  • Connecting the opposite end of the harness varies by board type, but in general a Single-vend/Pulse connection will connect where the coin drop was previously connected.  Multi-vend/Serial connections typically connect to a specific serial port on the board, which will also vary by machine.
  • Connecting a coin drop may require a coin sense harness to adapt the native connection.  This will be included in your installation kit if needed (see Fig. 2b, above).
  • Connecting the power supply utilizes a harness provided with your reader.  Power considerations are further discussed below under the heading "Tapping Power".

  • A single-vend harness will always connect to the FasCard reader on the connection labeled "C" in Figure 2a, above.
  • The board-side end of the harness will vary by machine/connection type.

  • 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.

  • Once power is tapped and all harnesses connected, the FasCard reader will power on.
  • Power harnesses may vary depending upon machine type. 
  • Power is connected to the FasCard reader at connection "D" shown in Figure 1a, above.
