- Screwdriver - Phillips or flathead depending on your machine. Used to open the cabinet door.
- Flashlight - Cabinets are dark inside. A phone flashlight works. A headlamp is better since you will need both hands free.
- Zip ties - Included in the box. Used to bundle and secure wires after the install.

Make sure everything is here before you begin. The sticker and device in each box are a matched pair - do not swap stickers between boxes.

- Pixelpay device
- QR payment sticker
- 5-pin connector with female spade connectors on each wire
- Credit add wire (2-pin)
- Adapters matched to your machine type - the steps below will tell you exactly which ones you need and where they go
- Power wire if required for your setup - JST or barrel connector depending on your machine

Not every box will contain every item. Your box is packed based on your machine type. If something you need for your install is missing, contact support before starting.

The device has two separate jobs.

Job 1 - Listen: The 5-pin connector taps silently onto the existing coin mech terminals. Every time a physical payment is accepted, the device sees that pulse and records it as a play in your analytics dashboard. It does not interfere with anything.

Job 2 - Add credit: When a customer pays by QR, the device briefly closes the credit add circuit. That mimics exactly what a physical coin pulse does - the machine registers a credit. No coin required.

The adapters connect everything: Each adapter is a small pre-made splitter. You pull the existing spade connector off the coin mech terminal, plug it into the adapter, then plug the adapter back onto the terminal. The adapter gives the device a place alongside the existing machine wires - no cutting, no soldering.

- The 3-wire adapter adds both a listener and a credit add wire alongside the existing machine wire. Used on both terminals of the primary coin mech.
- The 2-wire adapter adds a listener wire only. Used on both terminals of any additional coin mechs. You only need to add credit once - extra mechs just need to be heard.

5-pin connector
The 5-pin connector plugs into the Pixelpay device. Each of its five wires ends in a female spade connector. One wire is ground. The other four are listeners - they are all the same function. Use one listener per coin mech terminal, plus the ground wire on the ground terminal.

3-wire adapter
Three male spade connectors go in - one from the machine, one from the 5-pin listener, one from the credit add wire. One female spade connector comes out and connects to the coin mech terminal. Used on the primary coin mech only, on both the ground and signal terminals.

2-wire adapter
Two male spade connectors go in - one from the machine, one from the 5-pin listener. One female spade connector comes out and connects to the terminal. No credit add wire. Used on any additional coin mechs, on both terminals.
