The following part was designed to make it easy to mount the antenna(s) from a card reader in a vending machine that has the factory validator standard size knock out holes. It is for machines that will use a card reader only or have the card reader mask mounted to the validator.

Installing this part eliminates tampering with the antenna(s) mounted to the exterior of the machine. In addition, the installation is faster because you do not need to drill into the machine.

If a validator with a credit card mask is installed, it must be installed in the upper hole with the “Validator Filler Plate Antenna Mount -Allows for Easier Card Reader Installation” in the lower hole.

If a Nayax Touch or Crane Navigator is installed, the single antenna is mounted with the plate.

The newer models of Cantaloupe/USA Technology utilize two antennas with instructions that indicate the antennas should be separated from one another. However, we have tested this by placing the two antennas side by side and the reception was normal. Results may vary based on the local signal strength at your location. Based on your situation, you may need to mount one of the antennas in this mounting bracket and the second antenna externally.
