Figure 2a (below) illustrates and labels the various connections on the reverse of the FasCard reader.
- 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".

An example of a Single-vend harness is shown below in Fig. 3a and an example of Single-vend configuration page is shown in Fig. 3b.
- 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.
- More information on Single-vend start methods and configurations is available here: http://confluence.laundrycard.com/x/2oAWAw.

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: http://confluence.laundrycard.com/x/1ADs.

An example of the spade taps used to tap power is shown in Fig. 5a below. Fig. 5b is an example of the harness connected to said taps. Fig. 5c shows the power supply itself.
- 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.
