Installation
4G Module SIM and SAM Cards



Certain configurations of the IM30 will have a 4G network module; in these configurations, you can install a SIM card. Unscrew the 4G network module and remove it to reveal the SIM card slot on the bottom of the module. Push the card into the slot with the contacts facing up and the clipped corner of the card facing towards the module. Certain configurations of the IM30 will have physical SAM card slots available. You may similarly install SAM cards in the SIM cards (make sure to use the appropriate card slots as indicated in Figure 6: 4G module, SIM (left) and SAM (middle and right) card slots.
SAM Cards

The IM30 has two dedicated SAM card slots, which can be accessed on the main body of the IM30 after the 4G network module (or the empty back cover) is removed. Open the card mount by sliding the card mount in the “OPEN” direction indicated on the mount, then insert a SAM card with the contacts facing the IM30 and the clipper corner oriented to the upper left. Lock the card mount by pressing it to the contacts and sliding it in the “LOCK” direction indicated on the card mount.
Note: Do not power on the IM30 while installing or removing SIM or SAM cards. To reassemble the device, slide the two plastic tabs on the left of the module into the corresponding slots on the main body of the IM30, then insert the 4G network board into the board-to-board connector. Finally, locked the module in place using a screwdriver.
Device Dimensions

Device Installation

- Measure the thickness of the mounting plate, this is used later in step 4.
- The back face of the mounting plate should have four stud bolts corresponding to the mounting points located on mounting bracket. Slide the mounting bracket into place with the orientation shown in figure 9 and then fix it in place with four M4 nuts.
- Slide the IM30 unit into the mounting plate with the orientation shown in figure 9. The back portion of the device should rest securely inside the mounting bracket.
- If the mounting plate is ≤ 4mm thick, apply a torque of 0.6 ~ 0.8 Nm to the four M4 screws included with your IM30 unit to secure the IM30 to the mounting bracket. If the mounting plate is more than 4mm thick, obtain M4 screws with the following thread length and use them instead: (mounting plate thickness + 10mm) ≤ thread length ≤ (mounting plate thickness + 14mm)
Note: The IM30 is intended to be installed 90° vertically to a maximum of 60° tilt from the vertical incline surface; ingress protection rate at IP65 is not guaranteed if the mounting surface deviates from this. Please refer to the picture below.

Instructions
Power on/off
Power on: Plug the IM30 into an appropriate power source via the MDB port, the digital IO port, or the RS232-A RJ45 port.
Power off: Disconnect the IM30 from the power source it is connected to.
Contactless Transactions
When the device is ready to accept a contactless transaction, the contactless icon should appear on screen. Orient the card or NFC device parallel to the screen and then hold it at a distance of 4 cm or less directly above the contactless icon.
Code Scanner Transactions
When the device indicates on screen that it is ready to scan a 1D or 2D code, orient the code parallel to the code scanning camera and then place it directly in front of the camera.
Environmental Conditions
Storage Temperature: -20°C ~ 70°C
Operating Temperature: 0°C ~ 50°C
Relative Humidity: 5% ~ 95% (non-condensing)
Maintenance and Usage
- If any cables become damaged, seek a replacement.
- Do not insert unknown materials into any port on the IM30, this may cause serious damage to the device.
- If repairs are required, please contact a professional technician instead of attempting them on your own.
- The IM30 contains tamper-proofing features; these circuits will trigger if the device is disassembled, at which point it will have to be rearmed before the device is ready to resume operation.
- The IM30 is designed for outdoor use; however, during normal use its surface should still be keep clear of dirt and possible liquid contaminants.
- While the IM30 is designed to resist ingress of dust and liquids, it is not designed to resist pressurized liquids such as water hoses. Keep the back of the device away from dust and liquids as much as possible.
- Make sure the various cables connect to provide the appropriate voltages at the proper pins.
