How to replace the top alarm sensor (Indoor kiosk)

This is a quick and easy job to replace if you have a problem with this sensor

Written by Jason Dwight

First, shut down your indoor kiosk by pressing the round restart button for approximately 5 seconds (green or silver button), then switch off the main power at the red switch.

Replacing the top sensor in your Indoor Kiosk

Overview:

The top sensor is mounted behind the screen, and a cable runs down to the circuit board below the lockers.

  1. Go to your Appointment Manager, then go into the Terminals area

  2. If your alarm is on, you will need to turn it off.

    This shows the alarm is ON. Click once to turn it off.

  3. Now it is RED, and the alarm is OFF:

  4. Use your keys to open the back doors of the kiosk.

  5. At the top of the kiosk, behind the screen is a metal bracket where the sensor is mounted. With a screwdriver, remove the sensor. Keep the screws to use later.

  6. Using the same screws, attach the new sensor to the same mounting plate.

  7. The old sensor has a cable that runs downward, inside of the kiosk. This cable will be bundled together with other cables. You do not need to remove this from the kiosk. It can stay inside the kiosk.

  8. The new sensor cable can follow the route of the old cable downward. This does not need to follow the same route exactly. Along the way, it can be attached to keep it secure.

  9. To attach the new sensor cable to the circuit board, you need to remove the old sensor cable first. The socket on the board is labelled Key 3. It is the middle connection of the 5 sockets above the large black socket.

    This is clearer in the picture below:

  10. Once the old cable is removed from this socket, you can plug in the new sensor cable.

  11. And the alarm sensor has been replaced!

When appropriate, and no customers are nearby, please test the alarm.

  1. Close the top door of the kiosk.

  2. Enable the alarm in the Terminals page of Appointment Manager.

  3. Then open a few lockers with Appointment Manager. If this does not set off the alarm, the new sensor is working.

  4. To confirm the alarm is still working, open the top door of the kiosk. This will set the alarm off, so have a colleague ready to disable the alarm in the Terminals page of Appointment Manager.

  5. If the alarm went off with Step 4, but not Step 3, then the kiosk has been successfully repaired!
