4◆Unpacking

Installation ◆5
3Installation
Unpack equipment in accordance with instructions listed in Chapter
2.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, do not place this unit near
any heat producing source.
When selecting a location for your VeriFone Indoor VeriPASS
Terminal equipment, avoid areas having:
■Direct sunlight or objects that produce heat.
■Moist areas.
■Excessive dust.
■Electrical “noise” or devices that cause excessive voltage
variations such as air conditioners, fans, or high frequency
security systems.
Installation Procedures
Note: If not present, install the Ferrite Bead on the
Multicable, as close to the Base Unit as possible. This
filters out any interference generated by the
equipment. Refer to the diagram on page 1 for
location.
Use the following procedure to install and power up the VeriFone
Indoor VeriPASS Terminal in a VFI Ruby environment.

6◆Installation
1. Ensure power to the Ruby is disconnected
2. Place the unit close to the Ruby.
3. Uncoil the Multicable and ensure that it does not kink or is
not placed under heavy equipment.
4. Mount the unit on a custom stand, if applicable.
5. Insert the RS232 cable connector from the Ruby into the
Multicable jack labeled PORT 1.
6. Apply power to the Ruby.
Equipment Power Up
The Verifone VeriPASS Terminal is powered from the Ruby
Terminal through a serial cable. This feature eliminates the need for
an optional power supply.
Note: The VeriPASS Terminal may be powered by an
optional external power supply (VeriFone P/N:
04250-05).
Use the following procedures to power up the VeriFone Indoor
VeriPASS Terminal unit using the optional power supply:

Installation ◆7
1. Insert the Power Cable connector into the Multicable jack
labeled POWER.
Note: Use a locally available cable tie to secure the Power
Cable jack to the Multicable connector as shown in
the diagram on page 1. This configuration maintains
the integrity of the connection and provides additional
connection security.
Warning: When the optional Power Supply is plugged into the
AC power outlet, voltage is immediately available to
the VeriFone Indoor VeriPASS Terminal. Avoid
handling the exposed power cable connector.
Note: The AC power outlet should be easily accessible
should the user desire quick power disconnect.
2. Connect the Power Supply to the AC power outlet or
appropriately configured power connector.
3. Verify the customer display is activated.
4. Verify the logo illuminates momentarily when power is
applied.
5. Verify the display is illuminated and the display is
activated.
Warning: To turn off your VeriFone Indoor VeriPASS Terminal,
always unplug the power supply from the AC power
outlet first. This eliminates the presence of voltage at
the Multicable power receptacle and the potential
shock hazard.
