AC3100 INSTALLATION GUIDEDOCUMENT 1353 REV 01PRINTED APRIL 14, 2011 1AC3100 INSTALLATION GUIDEThe Blackboard AC3100 enables cardholders to deposit to accounts, check balances, and purchase visitor cards. The user interface utilizes an LCD display, keypad, and a combination mag-stripe and contactless reader. Both the UNIX Edition and Universal Edition versions of the reader support user configurable background color, text color, and banner images. Communication of host downloads, and reader transactions use a maintained Transport Layer Security (TLS) Secure Communication Channel to meet PCI Compliance.WHAT YOU GET The following items are included with each AC3100: • (2) bill boxes (one installed)• (2) paper rolls• (4) door lock keys• (4) bill box key sets • (1) hardware kitFigure 1-1 What You GetAC3100 Reader Bill Box keys Spare Bill Box Paper rollsDoor lock keysHardware kit
PRINTED APRIL 14, 2011 2The AC3100 connects to the Universal Edition Host via 10/100 Base-T or RS-485 through an IP Converter (IPC). In UNIX Edition, the AC3100 optionally connects via RS-485. This unit replaces the Value Transfer Station (VTS) on the UNIX Edition Host, and the Card Management Center (CMC) on the Universal Edition Host.The AC3100 accepts unattended deposits into existing cardholder accounts, and must be online to be operational.The following topics are covered in this document:•AC3100 Installation (page 1-4)•AC3100 Communication Configuration (page 1-8)•AC3100 Transaction Process (page 1-13)•AC3100 Maintenance (page 1-15)•Component Replacement (page 1-20)•AC3100 Features & Specifications (page 1-23)

AC3100 INSTALLATIONPRINTED APRIL 14, 2011 4AC3100 INSTALLATIONMount the AC3100The AC3100 can be surface mounted on a wall, recessed into a wall, or mounted on a pedestal. At least four 3/8” diameter metal fasteners should be used to mount the enclosure. The installer is responsible for ensuring the unit is securely installed to prevent theft.WARNING: Use caution when opening the door without the enclosure secured to a wall or pedestal. The weight of the door when open can cause the unit to tip over and cause injury. Ensure the unit is securely mounted prior to operation.To mount the AC31001Decide where to mount the unit, and how to route power.Conduit knockouts are located in the junction box located in the lower left of the enclosure. Power wiring must enter the unit within the junction box.2Decide how to route the network wiring entering the unit.NOTE: To eliminate risk of electrical shock or injury, do not route the network cable through the junction box.3Punch or drill mounting holes in either the back or the bottom of the unit, based on the application.4Punch or drill a hole in the back or bottom of the cabinet to route the network cable.This hole must be large enough to accommodate the RJ45 connector.5Securely mount the unit, see: Figure 1-3 Mounting Illustration (page 5).

Use a circuit breaker or switch to disconnect power when installing or removing the AC3100.The AC3100 enclosure is provided with standard 1/2" conduit knockouts in the power junction box. The power requirements are 120VAC @ 60Hz, 1.5 A max (line, neutral, and earth ground). The incoming wiring must meet all applicable electrical codes.NOTE: Before connecting wiring to the AC3100, ensure that all power has been disconnected or that the circuit breaker is off.To connect the AC3100 to the power source1Turn OFF the Power Supply.2Remove the junction box cover in the lower left corner of the enclosure by removing the 2 screws.3Connect the 120VAC external wiring to the existing wiring in the junction box using the supplied wire nuts. Wires in the junction box are color coded and labeled as shown below.4Re-install the cover, and secure with two screws.5Turn ON the 120VAC power supply or circuit breaker to the reader, and then turn ON the AC3100.The AC3100 powers-up and displays the power-up configuration.Table 1-1: Junction box wiring Wire Color Label DescriptionGreen Earth GroundWhite NNeutralBlack LLine (hot)

AC3100 MANAGER CARD FUNCTIONSPRINTED APRIL 14, 2011 14AC3100 MANAGER CARD FUNCTIONSCertain Cards can be configured as Manager Cards in BbTS. Inserting/removing a valid Manager Card when the AC3100 is in the idle mode (not in a transaction sequence), displays the manager card menu.Manager functions:Display/print transaction totalsThis option displays and prints transaction totals. It is intended to be used to create a local Audit report on the transactions each time the bill box is emptied or swapped out with an empty one.When totals display on the LCD, the manager has the option of clearing the interval totals. If the bills are being removed, it is recommended to clear the totals and attach a copy of the Audit printout with the bills for later audit.These totals can be displayed/printed and not cleared if desired. If multiple copies of the audit printout are desired, the totals can be displayed/printed several times and only clearing them the last time.Terminal setupThis option is used to adjust the display brightness and the volume of the tones.Display device status informationThis option displays the AC3100 status information. The display includes information on the communication status with the host (on-line of off-line, etc.), any out-of-service conditions and status of the printer, bill validator, and card dispenser.Perform diagnostic functionsThis option is used to perform diagnostic functions on the LCD, card dispenser, printer, local alarm and door switch, and the keypads.

AC3100 INSTALLATION GUIDEDOCUMENT 1353 REV 01PRINTED APRIL 14, 2011 17Install the Paper RollNOTE: When installing a paper roll for the first time, the tape securing the print head to the printer body must be removed and discarded. The tape protects the print head from damage during shipping. A Low Paper sensor located on the printer assembly alerts the administrator when this condition occurs. This information can be sent to a log file. The paper can be changed without access to the cash.The AC3100 printer uses thermal paper with the following specifications:• 80mm-wide • 20# or 21# paper weight • Maximum 6” OD • 1” ID core • Thermally coated side OUTTable 1-3: Paper Roll SourcesSupplier Part Number Phone Number(s)Communication Paper Ltd.

COMPONENT REPLACEMENTPRINTED APRIL 14, 2011 20COMPONENT REPLACEMENTReplace the Power Supply FusesWARNING: To eliminate risk of electrical shock or injury, it is recommended that the main 115VAC supply or breaker be turned off and the power switch on the AC3100 power supply is turned off!The AC3100 uses a single 1A 250v fuse for input power and three 3A 250V fuses for output power. The power input fuse is located directly below the on/off power switch. The output fuses are located across the bottom of the power supply module. The fuse on the left is for +12v output which supplies power to the electronics board, LCD, and mag-stripe reader. The center fuse is +24v power for the printer. The right fuse is +24v power for the bill validator and card dispenser. If a peripheral is not functioning, check the fuse and replace if necessary.Figure 1-12 AC3100 Fuse LocationsFIELD REPLACEMENT COMPONENTSWhen ordering replaceable parts for the AC3100, refer to the table below and contact Blackboard.Table 1-4: AC3100 Replacement PartsMSC Part Number DescriptionMSC/BVACUS Replacement Bill Validator for United States currencyMSC/BVACCA Replacement Bill Validator for Canadian currencyMSC/RPAC Replacement PrinterMSC/CDAC Replacement Card DispenserMSC/RDRAC2 Replacement Contactless/Mag-stripe reader3AG 3A 250V3AG 1A 250V3AG 3A 250V3AG 3A 250VPower SupplyCONTROLLER/LCD& MAG-STRIPE READERPRINTER Bill Validator &Card Dispenser
