Preparation

When setting up a system, there are numerous tasks that need to be carried out during this process. While these tasks can be performed at any stage of the setup, we recommend preparing the system ahead of time, if possible.

Confirm the X-Changers have the latest LCRF installed and have full access to the internet.

Ensure that the X-Changers have the latest LaundryCard version (LaundryCard v9.2.3 or newer) installed.
Add all CAPs in https://cardconceptsinc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LCV9/pages/7113820 that will be mounted and installed.
Ensure that ALL wireless-specific equipment types have been added and assigned their corresponding machine numbers for their respective wireless readers to be installed.

Machine Installation

The following are general instructions for reference when a Universal Mounting Kit is being utilized. These instructions do not include power or machine start harness connection points, as such would be unique to the requested supplied Power and Communication Kits.

If specific detailed instructions are provided or required with your Mounting Kit, ensure those instructions are followed first.

Disconnect any electrical device from power before performing any work on the device. It is recommended that the instructions contained herein be performed by individuals who are qualified to perform these tasks.

Card Concepts Inc. takes no responsibility for the accuracy of this document or any damage that may occur to target equipment. Technical Support recommends using all appropriate safety equipment (such as hand and eye protection) during execution of the instructions below.

I. Mark and Cut Mounting Surface

(If machine is powered) Disconnect power from the desired machine.
Select a mounting position on the front plate of the desired machine.
1. The mounting position should be in close proximity to the coin drop (if applicable) and length of installation harnesses.
2. Mount the reader in a location that will not expose wiring to excessive heat or friction.
If using a C-6700-TEMP Drill Template, use the template and mark Hole “C” for primary drill mounting. Hole "C" is the pilot position and primary mounting location for the chase nipple.

Apply Cutting Oil on targeted surface and drill a 1-1/8" hole into the center-marked position “C” using a Hole Saw, using caution when drilling to avoid damaging anything behind the plate.
