Technical issues payment terminals

Where can the serial number of my terminal be found?

The serial number can be found at the bottom of the payment terminal or is visible after removing the cover. The serial number consists of a combination of five numbers, two letters and eight numbers.

Do you have a MOVE 5000 or a DESK 5000? Then the serial number consists of the last 8 digits of the long number on the payment terminal after “sn”on the sticker.

Do you have a Sunmi? The serialnumber is the whole combination of numbers after the “sn” on the sticker.

The screen of the payment terminal is white / mirror image / blank. What can I do?

This could be a bug in the software, a reboot should fix it. Reset the payment terminal by pressing the yellow button and the dot button (this is located directly to the right of the 0) simultaneously. If you have a mobile payment terminal, you can switch it on again after a few seconds with the green button. If you have a fixed payment terminal, the payment terminal will restart immediately.

What does "Alert Irruption" mean?

When a payment terminal indicates "Alert Irruption", it means that the terminal has detected danger and has therefore entered a security mode to prevent burglary and fraud. The terminal will lose all its security keys and cannot be used anymore. This can be caused by a fall, bump, extreme heat / cold or water. This can also happen when the terminal battery gets completely empty. 

When this happens, please contact [email protected].

How can I fix an "Alert Irruption"?

You cannot fix an "Alert Irruption" yourself. If this happens, please contact us at [email protected].
