Step-by-step guide

Front-Mount solution

  1. Select a suitable location on the front of the machine to mount the card reader. It's recommended that you mount the card reader as close to the coin drop as possible.

  2. Place the C-5700-TEMP template on the face of the machine with the straight edge of template facing up. The C-5700-TEMP template has the same outside dimensions as the card reader to help align the placement of the reader.

  3. Using a sharpie marker, mark target drill location for the reader base, using hole "D'.




  4. Using a hole saw and drill, carefully drill a 1-1/8" hole through machine front, be sure there is nothing behind target location inside the machine that can get damaged.

    1. If the material is stainless steel its recommended that a pilot hole be drilled to help keep the hole saw in the desired location. 





  5. Mount the C-5700 bracket to machine face using the C-5702 and C-5703 chase nipple and nut.

  6. Tighten the nut with pliers, make sure the bracket remains square on the face of the machine.
