Tegaur Kiosk

To add an unattended kiosk to your Fast-Weigh subscription, contact us at 865-219-2980 or support@tacinsight.com.

Pre-Installation Considerations:

Waterproofing:

WARNING: The kiosk is not fully waterproof until the small hex screw on the back of the device is tightened. Recomended torque is 8-10kgf-cm.

This small hex screw is left loose during shipping to prevent pressure changes from damaging the screen.

WARNING: Any threaded connection (DC 9-36v, LAN, USB, COM1, and Wi-FI Antennas) must be fully threaded and properly secured. Failure to do so may result in water damage to the unit.

Power Requirements:

DO NOT power this Kiosk with anything other than the included power adapter plugged into a standard 120v power outlet.

Mounting Options:

Direct VESA Mounting: This kiosk is built with standard 75x75 VESA mounting holes. Ideal for mounting to any adjustable VESA 75x75 compatible mounting solution that is rated for up to 26lbs (32lbs if using the Wall Mounting Adapter). This mounting style omits the Wall Mounting Adapter, keep in mind that tilt or pan adjustment will need to be made by the mounting solution.

Wall Mounting Adapter: This adapter has 3 main components: Kiosk Mounting Plate (75x75 VESA), Wall Mounting Plate (75x75 VESA/100x100 VESA), and Tilt and Pan Adjuster. It can be used to mount to any flat and vertical surface as well as any 75x75 VESA or 100x100 VESA compatible mounting solution (must be rated for up to 32lbs).

Network Connectivity Options:

If you are unsure about your connectivity options, contact your IT Department or Network Administrator.

Wi-Fi:

  • Requires a stable Wi-Fi connection at the installation location.

  • You can extend the range of existing Wi-Fi networks by installing an Access Point (AP), preferably mounted on the exterior of the Scale House pointed at the Kiosk.

LAN (*preferred*):

  • Requires a wired connection to be available at the location the Kiosk will be installed.

  • A wired network connection may require trenching ethernet cable and/or running cables behind walls/ceilings. Be sure to use an outdoor-rated ethernet cable.

Scale Connectivity Options:

Our system can read data from your weight indicator using two methods:

RS-232 Serial to USB Adapter:

  • RS-232 serial output from the weight indicator, which is then converted to USB using a prolific Serial to USB converter. Windows 10/11 cannot read serial or USB data directly.

  • We recommend the Insignia Brand Serial to USB adapter from Best Buy. (The Keyspan brand Serial to USB adapter cannot be used to send weights to the Fast-Weigh desktop application.)

Serial over IP:

  • Broadcasts data from the weight indicator over an IP network. Requires a wired connection near the weight indicator. The weigh indicator connects via Serial.

  • We recommend the Moxa N-Port 5110.

Optional Accessories:

  • Outdoor Printers

  • RFID Cards

  • Traffic Lights

  • LPR Cameras

  • CCTV Cameras

Connecting to the Internet:

If you are unsure about any of this information, contact your IT Department or Network Administrator.

  1. Screw the two included Wi-Fi antennas onto the SMA antenna connector located on the back of the unit

    1. Angle the antenna upwards for better reception

    2. WARNING: The kiosk is not fully waterproof unless this connection is fully threaded and properly secured. This applies to both kiosks connected to Wi-Fi and LAN.

  2. For Wi-Fi: Connect to the Wi-Fi network in Windows

    1. If you have both a 2.4ghz and 5ghz version of your Wi-Fi connection available, be sure to connect to the 2.4ghz version. 5ghz Wi-Fi is faster but has a smaller range and does not penetrate solid objects as well as 2.4ghz.

    2. You can extend the range of existing Wi-Fi networks by installing an Access Point (AP), preferably mounted on the exterior of the Scale House pointed at the Kiosk.

  3. For LAN:

    1. Connect the "Kiosk LAN Port (M12 8-pin) to Ethernet Port Cable" in the port label "LAN" on the back of the Kiosk

    2. Plug your Ethernet connection into the Ethernet port

    3. WARNING: The kiosk is not fully waterproof unless this connection is fully threaded and properly secured. If you are not using a LAN connection make sure the cap is secure.

  4. Confirm the Internet is connected:

    1. Open a web browser on the kiosk and go to Speedtest.net
