ViVOpay OEM S500 Technical Reference Product Overview The ViVOpay OEM S500 Vending Reader (the Reader) is an electronic module capable of communicating with ISO 14443 Type A and Type B compatible cards and tags using Radio Frequency (RF). Data stored on the cards and tags is read by the Reader and transmitted to a host. This section provides general information about the Reader. Refer to Appendix A, B, and C for technical details.
ViVOpay OEM S500 Technical Reference Reader Installation This section describes how to install the ViVOtech S500 OEM Vending Reader into a vending or terminal system. Installation will vary depending upon the specific use of the product. Physical Placement Because the Reader relies on radio frequency communications, the reader can be susceptible to electrical interference and affected by metal materials.
ViVOpay OEM S500 Technical Reference Orientation of Reader PCAs The physical design of the Reader provides for stacking of the PCAs using standoffs to form a single unit requiring a volume as small as 10 cu in. However, if space constraints or mounting configurations do not support a stacked assembly the individual PCAs may be mounted separately such as side by side. Dual mounting holes are provided on both the Antenna PCA and Control PCA to accommodate various mounting configurations.
ViVOpay OEM S500 Technical Reference multiplexes the card reader signals from itself and the existing card reader and passes them to the host. The Reader is invisible to the host and behaves like the existing magnetic card reader. This configuration requires a second cable identical to the one connecting the existing card reader to the host. Connect the cable from the existing card reader to the J1 connector on the Interface PCA, and connect the second cable from the J2 connector to the host.
ViVOpay OEM S500 Technical Reference Reader Operation This section describes how to present cards and tags to the Reader and obtain the data read from the card. Presenting Cards/Tags Presenting a card or tag to the Reader so it can be read is simple. Simply bring the card/tag within a few centimeters of the antenna. It is also OK to gently touch the card on the antenna. Present a card/tag so that its maximum surface area is parallel to the antenna to obtain the best read range.
ViVOpay OEM S500 Technical Reference Magnetic Stripe Card Reader Emulation The Reader emulates a Magnetic Stripe Card Reader by sending the data read from a card/tag out as Track 1 and Track 2 data using the –IT1D, –IT1CLK, –IT2D, –IT2CLK, and –ICP signals located at J2 on the Control PCA. The output signals are TTL (+5V) levels. Data read from a card/tag is sent to the host only if valid Track 1 and/or Track 2 data is present on the card.
ViVOpay OEM S500 Technical Reference Troubleshooting There are no user‐serviceable parts within the reader. If the Reader does not operate properly when installed according to instructions use the Troubleshooting Table below to help solve simple problems. If the cause of the problem still can not be determined, you may contact our Technical Support Staff at the numbers listed below. Please have the model number and serial numbers available.
