Worldline Self/7000 & Self/8000 Integration Guide

1 Introduction

1.1 Self/7000 and Self/8000 Payment Solution Presentation

The Self/7000 and Self/8000 are Worldline's new modular unattended payment terminals. They are designed to fit into any kiosk for applications such as petrol stations, transport, vending, and parking, usable both indoors and outdoors, and resistant to harsh weather conditions. The Self/8000 must always be connected to the master device Self/7000. This two-component terminal is the successor to the iSelf series and XENTEO Eco, aiming to enhance the unattended payment experience.

These terminals provide a complete solution for EMV payments and run Worldline's ep2 applications. They are certified PCI PTS 6.x with SRED included.

1.1.1 Self/7000

The Self/7000 is a hybrid card reader supporting contact, chip, and magnetic card processing. It requires connection to a Self/8000 device to enable contactless card processing and PIN code entry. The Self/7000 terminal is designed for rear installation into any kiosk and complies with the EVA EPS (Compact Door Module) standard.

1.1.2 Self/8000

The Self/8000 is a compact PINPAD device that supports NFC/contactless card processing and PIN entry via a conventional keyboard. It cannot be used as a standalone device. This terminal is designed for easy installation into any kiosk, either surface or rear mounted, and complies with the EVA EPS (Standard Door Module). It is also referred to as Self/8000 CL to emphasize its contactless capability.

3 Product installation

3.1 Professional Installation Requirements

Worldline sells products exclusively to qualified partners and integrators who are responsible for their resale, integration, and installation into retailer solutions (e.g., petrol stations, kiosks, vending machines). Installation requires qualified electronics engineers and must comply with Worldline's recommendations, local electrical safety, and radio emission regulations. Worldline's support engineers are available for commissioning.

3.2 Packaging

Upon receipt, verify the contents against the bill of material: 1 terminal, 1 fixing plate, 1 gasket, 1 power adaptor, and 1 HDMI cable. Contact the shipping company or vendor for any missing or damaged items. Four M4 locknuts and washers are required for direct mounting to a vending machine but are not included.

3.3 Select a Location

Terminals are designed for unattended indoor/outdoor use and must be installed in compliance with local and regional electrical codes (IEC). Proper location selection is crucial. Choose a spot on the machine that is accessible from the front, ensuring the terminals fit, the card reader and display are visible and readable, and the card slot is accessible. Ensure sufficient space for the mounting brace, ground connection, cable routing (without folding, use ties), and rear access to the terminals. The maximum cable length between terminals and the vending machine controller (VMC) is 3 meters.

Avoid locations exposed to rain or harsh weather. Mount terminals vertically to prevent water ingress into the card reader. Ensure adequate air circulation. Take measures against condensation or humidity, especially in outdoor environments, potentially using heating or ventilation. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent display reflections. Ensure PIN privacy and locate the display away from cameras and mirrors. Always check local regulations for PIN privacy. It is mandatory to use ESD protective clothing when handling these devices. Check for signs of tampering upon receipt and regularly thereafter.

3.4 Procedure for Product Installation

3.4.1 Self/7000 Product Installation

The PCI hardware version rating plate must be visible after installation (only visible from inside the machine). The centerline of operating controls should be at least 400 mm above the ground.

3.4.2 Add-on Boxes

Self/7000 can be upgraded with two types of add-on boxes: one for MDB features (power only or full MDB), and another for communication (Bluetooth and/or Radio link, supporting 3G/4G standards).

Self/000x Radio Box codes specify radio type (W), Bluetooth (B), and localization (R, S). Plugged-in modules are identified by internal EEPROM parameters.

3.4.3 Self/8000 Product Installation

The PCI hardware version rating plate must be visible after installation (only from inside the machine). The centerline of operating controls should be at least 400 mm above the ground.

3.4.4 Installing the Modular Terminal

If installing a 4G comm-box board and antenna, prepare the vending machine first. For SIM card or 4G comms board installation, complete this before mounting the comm-box and terminal.

1. Check the gasket positioning: Ensure lugs in the rubber fit into the terminal openings.
2. Mount the modular terminal in the vending machine: Align the terminal with the front panel opening. Clamp the EVA frame to the rigid front plate using four locknuts (not included). Tighten locknuts in a Z-pattern. A cut-out matching the EVA EPS door module dimensions is required. Mount the terminal on the custom EVA plate using nuts and washers. Fixing is done with 4 M4 x 17 welded studs. Standard hexagonal nuts are required for kiosk integration. Torque value: 1.0-1.3 Nm. Washers are recommended. Do not over-tighten nuts.
3. Cabling: After mounting, connect the communication cables.

4. Powering the devices: Plug in power and wait for the terminal to boot. Devices can be powered via the MDV comm-box using the MDB bus (48VDC) or an external power supply (9V-48VDC) connected to the MDB box.

The Self/7000 and Self/8000 comply with the Compact Door Module dimensions of the European Vending Association.

4 Safety

Follow all guidelines in this manual for integrating the Self/7000 and Self/8000. Worldline and its suppliers are not liable for malfunctions resulting from incorrect handling. Worldline disclaims liability if instructions are not followed. Contact your vendor for any component issues; do not attempt repairs. Use only approved accessories. Ensure the terminal has completed application and key loading. Security features are integrated at all levels, and regular visual checks are essential to prevent fraud.

4.1 Operating Safety

Keep terminals away from excessive heat, fire, high voltage, radiation, shocks, and abrasive chemicals. Ensure terminals are firmly fixed, correctly wired and powered, protected from environmental factors (dust, sunlight, rain, wind, flying parts), and operate within the temperature range of -20°C to +65°C. Always use the supplied or compliant power adaptor and disconnect it before cleaning or maintenance.

Never drop, throw, slam, or vibrate the terminals. Prevent liquids from entering the terminals. Do not use extension cables for the power supply or connect unrecommended cables. Avoid storing, installing, or using terminals near sources of excessive voltage fluctuation, electromagnetic fields, microwave radiation, in deep freeze, near food, or explosive substances. Do not open the terminals.

4.2 Safety Recommendations

4.2.1 Integrators

Integrators must implement procedures for regular on-site checks to ensure no cameras or skimming devices are installed, and no foreign objects are in card readers. If suspicious activity or a "tampered" warning is detected, the integrator must disconnect power, alert authorities, inform the acquirer, and notify the regulator. Partners are responsible for integration compliance with local standards, guide rules, and industry practices. Worldline is not responsible for non-compliant integrations. Terminals comply with international standards (environmental, security). Partners are responsible for complete assembly, including third-party components. For the EU, CE declaration of compliance is required.

4.2.2 Merchants

For security, merchants should check terminals daily for unusual cables, foreign objects in card readers, warning messages, visible housing damage, and verify the serial number against inventory.

4.3 EC Marking

EC standard compliance marking certifies conformity to harmonized standards, including IEC/EN 62368-1 (Safety), RE Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment), ETSI EN 300 330-1 (Short Range Devices), and ETSI EN 301 489-1/3 (EMC for radio equipment).

4.4 Repairs and End of Life

Maintenance beyond this manual must be performed by Worldline or an approved service center. Contact your vendor for disposal information. Do not discard or sell terminals as they contain non-recyclable materials requiring professional handling. Products are labeled according to EU directives for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and batteries, making producers liable for take-back, treatment, and recycling. Proper recycling ensures human health and environmental safety.
