Nayax Pulse Hardware Installation

In this guide you will find everything you need to know about the installation of your device with the Pulse protocol.

General

Welcome to the complete Nayax Pulse Protocol installation guide. This resource provides everything you need to successfully install and configure your Nayax device using the pulse protocol for cashless payment acceptance.

The topics in this guide are as follows:

Part A: Hardware Installation

Below are the hardware installation steps for all Nayax integrated POS for pulse machines:

Step 1: Open the machine and select a flat location for the installation.

Step 2: Drill 4 holes into the machine, using the plastic plate as a stencil.

Step 3: Drill a 14mm hole into the machine for the cables to pass through.

Step 4: Connect the cables and secure the device, as follows:

For VPOS Touch and Onyx integrated POS devices

    1. Connect the cables 
    2. Secure the device to the selected location on the machine.

For Amit/ VPOS devices

    1. Connect the cable between the VPOS and the Amit.
    2. Place VPOS on the selected location on the machine.
    3. Connect the Amit cables
    4. Place the Amit device inside the machine.
    5. Secure the device from inside using screws.

Step 5: Connect the device to the power supply

Step 6: Connect the device to the machine

Step 7: Set up the Nayax Core's attributes for a pulse machine - refer to the "Related items" to learn more about the configuration per your Pulse type.

Pro tip: The rear plastic plate screws are Philips M4. In addition, make sure to use the tightening torque Level 3.

 
 

Part B: Device Cable Connection 

After connecting the device to the machine (following the instructions in section 4: Hardware Installation Step 1-4 above), follow the steps in the detailed explanation below:

Step 1: Connect the cable to the device. A click is heard when connected.

Step 2: Connect LAN (if needed).

Step 3: Connect the antenna to the black antenna cable.

Step 4: (Optional) For Touch devices, connect the rear plastic closure.

 

Part C: Device Connection to Power Supply

Please Note: The Nayax device requires either a 10VDC - 24VDC or 10VAC - 42VAC / 2A power supply.

The power supply can be provided from either:

  • The Nayax 12VDC/ 2A power adapter provided with the kit, on request.

  • The machine itself.

Connect the power adapter to the cable wires: AC/DC IN+ and AC/DC IN- (or GND).

Pro tip: While using the AC power supply, make sure that the GND wire is not short-circuited with any of the power inputs (+24VAC/DC and -24VAC/DC).

 

Part D: Device Machine Connection

Connect the pulse wire(s) to the machine according to the following options:
•    Wire Connection Without a Relay - Requires an electronics background.
•    Wire Connection Using the Relay - Fast and easy, no electronics expertise required.
•    Wire connection to the coin mechanism (instead of the machine itself) - Used in situations where cash sales are read from the coin mechanism.

 

Wire Connection without a Relay

Caution: This type of installation requires expertise in electronics.

Step 1: Connect the power wires.

Step 2: Connect the pulse wires.

Step 3: In case voltage is required for pulse, then connect the VCC (5V) with a resistor to pull-up the voltage in the pulse wire.

Step 4: In most cases, a 1K Ohm resistor is suitable. The calculation for the resistor is performed by the electrician based on machine specifications.

 

Wire Connection using the Relay

Connect the wires as per the wiring scheme or purchase a cable with connectors, from Nayax. 
The machine is connected to the COM output either with Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) outputs depending on the pulse type required 

In case high voltage is required to operate the machine, connect a dedicated power supply to the COM output on the relay output.

 

Relay Machine Connection

This is a relay connection scheme that connects to the wires.

It is possible to purchase a VPOS Touch or Onyx device relay connection set which includes:

    • Relay (either a 2-channel / 6-channel relay)
    • Pulse cable comprising of:
      • Power adapter - connect to the power supply
      • Relay connector - connect to the relay (2 or 6 channels)
    • Relay box
 

 

Part E:Additional Cable Wires

The pulse cable includes additional wires mentioned below that receive information from the machine.

    • Inhibit 1 - Disables the device while the machine is in use, so that the additional credit cannot be charged.
    • Door Open - Sends an event alert to the Nayax server when the door opens.
    • Temp - Sends the machine temperature to the Nayax server.
