✔️Understanding Attributes and Configurations | Pulse

Procedure break-down:

•    Log in to your Nayax Core Management Suite.
•    Click on Operations, then from the drop-down select Machines.
•    Select the relevant machine from the hierarchy tree. 
•    Click on the General tab.
•    Under the Pulse/ccTalk section, configure the attributes shown in the image attached (If you do not see the image, click on this box and the image will appear on the right-hand side)
•    Click Save

There are three available configuration pairs.

A. Time frame

• Pulse Active Time - This attribute determines how long the device will be sending pulses.
• Pulse Inactive Time - Determines how long the pulse must be inactive before sending the next pulse.

Select one pair from the available list of attributes:

1. Pulse Active Time in ms, Pulse Inactive Time in ms (Amit - Option 1).
2. Pulse Active Time in 10ms, Pulse Inactive Time in 10ms (Amit - Option 2).
3. Pulse 1-6 Active Time in ms, Pulse 1-6 Inactive Time in ms (only for Touch Device).

Pro tip: Where both pairs are configured for the Amit device, then the Time in Ms overcomes the 10ms.

Important: this value is determined by your specific machine requirements. This is based on how long the pulse must be active. If you are unsure of this value, contact the machine manufacturer or your electric technician. 

B. Number of Pulses per Vend

• The number of pulses that are being sent to the machine when the vend is approved. This will be determined by your model of machine.
• Not in use for price list.

C. Credit per Pulse

• The amount charged for each given pulse. Depending on the amount you want to charge your customers the formula is as follows: Vend Price = Credit per Pulse x Number of Pulses

The machine uses the wire labeled 'Inhibit' to indicate that it cannot currently receive credit. 

When an Inhibit is detected, your device will:

• Not accept payment cards
• Not provide credit to the machine
• Not send pulses

Inhibit is detected

The inhibit line hold voltage of 3.3 volt. The machine needs to pull down the voltage (connect it to ground) to change the inhibit.

Pulse Inhibit

Optional Inhibit Values:

• 0 - Inhibit disabled (Nayax ignores inhibit)
• 1 - Inhibit enabled and active when machine sent logic 0 (low voltage)
• 3 - Inhibit enabled and active when machine sent logic 1 (high voltage)
• 5 - Activate External MDB Credit (pulse on "Pulse IN1" will start free MDB transaction)
• 9 - Enable External Sure-Vend Sensor for MDB
• 13 - Activate External MDB Credit + External Sure-Vend Sensor
• 16 - Multi Inhibit Enabled and Active when logic '0' received from VMC (relevant for VPOS Touch and Onyx devices only)
• 32 - Multi Inhibit Enabled and Active when logic '1' received from VMC (relevant for VPOS Touch and Onyx devices only)

Inhibit Event Timeout (sec)

• Time in seconds after which an alert will be sent to the server when the device is Inhibited by the machine.
• Default: 90 seconds.

Customize the text displayed when the machine is idle (not available in Count Up mode).

Set a waiting period (in seconds) after a transaction completes before the device accepts the next payment. 

Enable this setting if your pulse line has an external pull-up resistor.

Pro tip: Configure the Pulse Inactive Time properly to prevent the device from detecting its own pulse as an input signal. 

We have added the ability to replace the “processing” animation, so you can communicate important information to the customer on what to do/not to do during the purchase process.

For example: 

 

LCD group > Remove LCD Message

Excludes specific LCD messages that speeds up the transaction process:

• 0 - All server response
• 1 - Successful server response - removes the last payment information screen
• 2 - Thank you

Language/Audio group > Remove Audio Message

You can customize your customers experience and disable specific audio announcements like "Thank You," "Card Approved," or "Card Not Approved." 

Device Parameters > Door Open Functionality

Configure how the device responds when the machine door is opened or closed.

How it works:

• Door closed: When the machine door is closed, the pulse is connected to the ground, the device will send ‘door open’ alert, and the device will be disabling payment acceptance
  
  
• Door opened: When the machine door is opened, the pulse is not connected to the ground, and the device will send ‘door close’ alert.

Important: check with your local Nayax representative for the necessary steps to enable this function to your Nayax contract. This option requires an extra monthly charge.

If your region requires fiscal monitoring, you can connect an external fiscal device to track transactions on pulse machines.

We differentiate between two types of payment methods:

• Fiscalized payments: Credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other payment apps
• Non-fiscalized payments: Prepaid cards, Monyx, QR codes

Using the Nayax Core platform, we offer a choice of two modes of operation.  Use Attribute 601 – "Pulse Fiscal" 

Mode 1 - Dual Pulse Line Setup: Required when regulations mandate all payments go through a fiscal device.

• Pulse Line 1: Fiscalized payment methods
• Pulse Line 2: Non-fiscalized payment methods

Connect both pulse line 1 and pulse line 2 to automatically send fiscalized payment methods.

Mode 2 - Receipt Printing Setup: Use when receipts are required for fiscalized payments.

• Pulse Line 1: Activates the pulse machine (used by all payment methods)
• Pulse Line 2: Connects to printer for fiscalized payment receipts only

Connect pulse line 1 to activate the pulse machine also connect pulse line 2 to the printer. 

Note: Non-fiscalized payments only use Pulse Line 1 in Mode 2.
