This install guide goes over the detailed installation steps for an F2/F3 touchscreen FasCard/FLEX reader onto an existing machine in either a high-front or top-mount position.
C-5402/C-5426-BASE incompatibility
The below solutions are not compatible with previous used high-front/top mount readers or mounting bases.
Swipe Clearance Notice
For top-mount placements, CCI strongly recommends mounting the front of the top-mount bracket 1-1/4 inches from the front of the machine, to allow for card swipe clearance.
Ensure the drilled hole aligns accordingly. Mounting the top-mount bracket any further back then 1-1/4 inches from the front of the machine to the edge of the reader can potentially interfere with mounting the reader to the bracket and may prevent users from being able to swipe or insert a card into the reader due to lack of clearance.
