4. Setup and Installation

The terminal stand is supplied fully built for a straightforward installation process. You have two primary methods for securing the stand to your countertop: using screws for a permanent fixture or an adhesive pad for a less permanent solution.

4.1 Attaching the Stand to the Square Plate

1. Place the square countertop plate on a flat, stable surface where you intend to position the terminal stand.
2. Align the base of the terminal stand with the central mounting holes on the square plate. The stand's base has pre-drilled holes that match the plate.
3. Using the provided screws, securely fasten the stand to the plate. Ensure all screws are tightened to prevent wobbling.

4.2 Securing the Plate to the Countertop (Optional)

While the stand is designed to be freestanding, you can further secure the square plate to your countertop using one of the following methods:

Method A: Using Screws (Permanent Installation)

1. Once the stand is attached to the plate, position the entire assembly on your desired countertop location.
2. Mark the positions for drilling through the pre-drilled holes on the square plate onto your countertop.
3. Remove the stand and plate. Drill pilot holes into the countertop at the marked positions (ensure appropriate drill bit for your countertop material).
4. Reposition the stand and plate, then secure the plate to the countertop using appropriate screws (not included, as countertop material varies).

Method B: Using Adhesive Pad (Less Permanent Installation)

1. Ensure the countertop surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.
2. Peel off the protective backing from one side of the provided adhesive pad.
3. Carefully apply the adhesive pad to the underside of the square countertop plate, ensuring it is centered and flat.
4. Peel off the remaining protective backing from the adhesive pad.
5. Firmly press the entire stand assembly onto the desired countertop location. Apply pressure for several seconds to ensure good adhesion.

4.3 Securing the Castles VEGA3000 PIN Pad

The stand is designed with a custom cradle to securely hold the Castles VEGA3000 PIN Pad. Gently slide your PIN Pad into the cradle until it clicks into place or is firmly seated. Ensure all cables are routed neatly through the integrated flange cover at the base of the stand to maintain a clean appearance and prevent damage.

5. Operation

The Castles VEGA3000 PIN Pad Terminal Stand is designed for ease of use, allowing for flexible positioning of your payment terminal.

5.1 Swivel Functionality

The stand allows for a full 190° swivel action. To swivel the terminal, gently grasp the terminal or the top portion of the stand and rotate it to the desired angle. This allows for easy rotation between merchant and customer for signature capture or PIN entry.

5.2 Tilt Functionality

The stand can tilt up to 60°. To adjust the tilt, hold the terminal or the top part of the stand and gently push or pull it to achieve the optimal viewing angle for both merchant and customer. This feature is particularly useful for reducing glare or accommodating users of different heights.

6. Maintenance

The Castles VEGA3000 PIN Pad Terminal Stand requires minimal maintenance due to its durable steel construction and powder-coated finish.

• Cleaning: Wipe the stand regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.
• Cable Management: Ensure that the terminal's cables remain neatly routed through the flange cover and are not pinched or stressed.
