Important notes

The modular POS system BEETLE /Se conforms to the current safety

standards for data processing equipment.

If this device is taken from a cold environment into the operating room,

moisture condensation may form. The device must be absolutely dry

before being put into service; an acclimatization period of at least two

hours must therefore be observed.

This device is equipped with a safety-tested power cable and may be

connected only to a prescribed grounded-contact power socket.

When setting up the device, ensure that the power socket on the device

and the grounded-contact power socket are easily accessible.

To disconnect the device from the supply voltage completely, switch off

the device and disconnect the power plug.

Ensure that no foreign objects (e.g. office clips) find their way into the

device, as this may lead to electric shocks or short-circuits.

Never plug in or unplug data communication lines during thunder-

storms.

Protect devices from vibrations, dust, moisture and heat.

Always dispose of used parts, such as batteries, in an environmentally

safe manner.

In emergencies (e.g. damaged housing or damaged power cable,

penetration by liquids or foreign bodies), the device must be switched

off immediately, the power plug disconnected and the Customer Service

of Wincor Nixdorf or your dealer must be notified.

The lithium battery must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations

for special waste. In case of an improper change of the lithium battery it

exist an explosion risk.

The device may only be repaired by authorized qualified personnel.

Unauthorized opening of the device and inexpertly carried-out repairs may

not only seriously jeopardize the safety of the user, but also cancel all

warranty and liability agreements.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Your BEETLE /POS system is the result of modern technical innovation. So

please see for according structural and technical surroundings to guarantee

a faultless and efficient work of your BEETLE.

Therefore, you should connect your BEETLE or other IT-devices only to

power supply systems with separately guided protective earth conductor

(PE). This kind of electricity system is known as TN-S network. Do not use

PEN conductors!

Please also observe the recommendations of the norm DIN VDE 0100, Part

540, Appendix C2 as well as EN50174-2, §5.4.3.Thus you can help to avoid

possible malfunctions.

Warning

This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause

radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate

measures.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Separate manuals are included in the scope of the connectable peripherals.

For this reason, a more detailed description of these devices will not be

provided here. For more information, see the relevant manuals.

Care of the BEETLE /Se

Clean your BEETLE /Se at regular intervals with a suitable plastic-surface

cleaner. Make sure that the power plug is disconnected, connector cables

are unplugged and that no liquid finds its way into the device.

Recycling the BEETLE /Se

En vi ron men tal pro tec ti on does not be gin when

it co mes time to dis po se of the BEET LE; it

be gins with the ma nu fac tu rer. This pro duct was

de sig ned ac cor ding to our in ter nal norm

“En vi ron men tal cons ci ous pro duct de sign and

de ve lop ment”.

The modular BEETLE System is manufactured without the use of CFCs and

CCHS and is produced mainly from reusable components and materials.

The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the

precious metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw

materials.

Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to

re-use components and material.

You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment when

it is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as this

wastes energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer

break or finish your work.

At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf

disposes of old devices in an environmentally sensitive way using a

recycling center that is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, as is the rest of

the company.

CARE OF THE BEETLE /SE

So don’t simply throw your POS system on the scrap heap when it has

served its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date

recycling methods!

If the equipment is to be fitted, you must ensure that the specified minimum

distances are maintained and constant ventilation is provided. The

immediate ambient temperature of the system must not exceed 40° C/

104 °F. These requirements are met, for example, if the equipment is not

built into a totally enclosed piece of furniture.

The fitting depth may be equal to the overall depth of the equipment

including the cable cover, that is, 337 mm.

Cab ling of the BEET LE /Se

Follow the steps below in the order given when installing devices:

Plug one end of the power cable into the socket of the BEETLE /Se

The cable cover must be removed, if present.

Plug in and secure the data cable.

Install the cable cober.

Plug the other end of the power cable into the main power supply.

Al ways make sure that the sys tem is swit ched off when you do cab ling

Con nec ting to the mains po wer supp ly

All devices belonging to the modular BEETLE /Se system that have a

separate power cable must be connected to the same electric circuit.

Make sure that all data cables on the system unit and peripherals are

connected correctly.

Plug all power cables belonging to the BEETLE and the peripherals into

the grounded-contact power sockets.

You can now switch on the BEETLE /Se by means of the switch on the

power supply at the rear side. Push the ON/OFF button at the front of

the box (approx. 4 seconds).

The power supply can be connected to all standard power supply networks.

The unit adjusts automatically to the respective voltage. The exhaust of the

power pack provides for the necessary cooling. The maximum output of the

power pack is 212 W.

Ba sic set ti ngs

Ex works, the BEETLE /Se is configured to your order. Your configuration

must be subsequently adapted to support supplementary devices such as

scanners. For more information, contact the Wincor Nixdorf branch office

responsible for your area.

Ad ju sting the loud spea ker

You can set the volume as desired by means of a menu in the BIOS Setup

(see BEETLE POS motherboard manual).

Connecting peripherals

The peripherals mentioned here are available as options and are not part of

the basic configuration. A separate manual is provided for each of the

connectable components. For more detailed information, please consult the

relevant documentation.

The figure shows the back panel of the BEETLE /Se with the locations of

the connecting sockets and connecting plugs. If you wish to connect a
