Cabinet Dimensions: 20.25” x 13.75” x 20.25” (H x W x D)
Cabinet Weight: 90 Pounds
The cabinet of the Touch Kiosk is constructed of 13 gauge cold rolled steel and powder coated with durable textured paint. The interior of the cabinet is accessible from both the front and the rear, with the front of the cabinet sliding open similar to a drawer to allow easy service and the rear of the cabinet opens via a hinged door for easy collection. The cabinet may be installed in either a 'Front Load' or a 'Rear Load' configuration, see the installation guide for more details. Both the front and the rear of the cabinet are secured via threaded lock bolts and protected with a Medco high-security lock. Supplied with each kiosk is a lock handle, this handle is used to engage and disengage the lock bolts.
Replacement keys may only be ordered through an authorized CCI distributor.
The cabinet has a 1-1/8" diameter access hole in the bottom of the cabinet to allow its power cord to pass into the interior of the cabinet, a slotted grommet is provided to fill the hole once the power cord has been positioned to help prevent unwanted debris from entering the cabinet. There is also a strain relief clamp provided and attached via an 8-32 machine screw adjacent to the access hole, this clamp should be secured to the power cord to prevent the cord from accidentally being pulled out of the kiosk.
The interior of the kiosk houses the drawer mechanism, this drawer hosts all of the electronic components and is designed to slide in and out of the front of the cabinet for easy access and service. The drawer may be removed by pressing the release levers on either side of the drawer slides and pulling the drawer out. At the rear of the drawer is a strain relief clamp secured via a 8-32 machine screw, this clamp should be secured to the power cord to prevent the cord from accidentally being pulled out of the power supply module. Enough slack on the power cord should be provided between the strain relief clamp on the drawer and the rear of the cabinet to allow the drawer to fully open, the cord should 'float' beneath the drawer unit when the drawer is closed.
Beneath the card dispenser on the drawer is a card drop opening, this allows cards to be dropped into the bottom of the cabinet from the card dispenser. To access the cards the drawer must be pulled open, it's important to check the bottom of the cabinet on occasion for loose cards.
Bill Note Acceptor (BNA)

The BNA accepts and holds paper currency, the standard capacity of the bill note validator is 500 notes. The (US) BNA is capable of accepting currency in any direction and can be configured in one of two security configurations, 'High Security' or 'High Acceptance'. By default kiosks are shipped in 'High Security' mode, changing this mode requires programming the unit. The (US) bill note validator is capable of accepting $1, $2, $5, $10, and $20 notes. To accept $50 and $100 bills, you will need to program the BNA.
EMV bezel

The EMV Bezel accepts credit/debit cards, following EMV credit card compliance standards. The EMV Bezel is capable of accepting credit/debit cards through a standard card swipe, an EMV credit card chip insert, and Near Field Communication (NFC) protocols such as Tap-To-Charge major credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The EMV Bezel also serves as an alternative means of reading FasCard Loyalty and User/Administrator cards using the card swipe, if enabled, whether in tandem with a card dispenser insert or exclusively. An optional component, when purchased, can be mounted in place of the default bezel attached to an existing BNA.

The computer controls all of the components in the Kiosk, it also drives and powers the attached LCD touchscreen panel. The computer connects to the FasCard system wirelessly via the WI-FI antenna mounted at the top of the motherboard. The antenna must be securely connected to the mounting connector for the kiosk to operate correctly. The antenna has a swiveling joint that allows it to be adjusted in various positions, be cautious to not position the antenna straight up as the cabinet drawer will not shut and may damage the antenna. The computer uses a solid-state 'hard drive' referred to as a 'CFAST' card and is located on the bottom of the computer board facing the side of the monitor The CFAST card may be replaced if needed but should not be ejected unless the Kiosk is powered down.
The computer has a series of USB ports along its side. Never connect any USB devices to the computer that are not provided by or instructed by CCI technical support persons or documentation. A USB keyboard is provided with the kiosk and can be safely connected to one of the Kiosks if instructed to do so by CCI technical support.
The LCD panel is connected to the computer via three connections; power, USB touch, and LVDS video signal. The touchscreen should only be touched with blunt objects preferably a finger. Take extra care when cleaning the screen and only use slightly moist soft cloths. Never use cleansers or abrasive materials as they may cause damage to the touchscreen.

The Touch Kiosk contains a 24vdc power supply to power the electronic components within the assembly. The power supply receives AC power via power entry module which is mounted adjacent to the power supply. There is a power switch on the power entry module that controls the AC power flow into the power supply and is referenced as the 'Main Power Switch'.

The Kiosk grounding kit/harness is meant to provide power to the various kiosk components. Additionally, the harness contains data cables that are ran to the various components within the Kiosk to establish communications between the main CPU board and all other parts of the Kiosk.
Pedestal Base
An optional base is available for mounting the kiosk to the floor, the base is comprised of three sections, the base, the spacer, and the printer drawer cabinet.
Base
The base is the lowest section of the assembly and has 4 (5/8") holes for mounting the base to the floor with 1/2" anchor bolts and nuts. The top of the base has 4 receiving nuts for securing upper sections with 8-32 machine screws. The spacer can be mounted on top of the base via 8-32 machine screws and provides 4 receiving nuts for securing upper sections with 8-32 machine screws.
Spacer
The spacer unit can be removed to provide an option to set the Touch Kiosk at an ADA compliant height, with the spacer in place it provides a comfortable height for most users in a standing position.
Extra drawer
The printer drawer cabinet can be secured to the base directly for ADA-compliant applications or to the spacer for standard mounting applications. The printer drawer mounts to the base assembly via 4 (8-32) machine screws.
