Deploying payment terminals at scale requires more than choosing the right hardware—it requires installing it correctly. For retailers, hospitality groups, and service providers using the PAX A80, a wall mount stand offers space savings, improved security, and a cleaner checkout experience.
This guide outlines practical installation best practices to help operations teams and installers achieve consistent, reliable results when rolling out PAX A80 stand wall mounts across multiple locations.
1. Plan Placement for Usability and Consistency
Before installation begins, determine a standard mounting position that works across locations. The wall-mounted PAX A80 should be easy for customers to reach while remaining comfortable for staff to operate.
Best practices include:
- Selecting a mounting height that supports accessibility and ergonomic use
- Allowing enough clearance for swivel and tilt movement
- Reduce accidental drops or cable strain
- Avoiding placement near doors, drawers, or high-traffic obstructions
Standardizing placement helps ensure a uniform checkout experience and simplifies training across enterprise deployments.
2. Secure the Wall Mount to the Right Surface
A PAX A80 wall mount is only as reliable as the surface it’s installed on. Enterprise locations often include drywall, concrete, tile, or metal studs, each requiring appropriate anchors and hardware.
For long-term durability:
- Mount into wall studs or solid backing whenever possible
- Use mounting hardware designed for the specific wall material
- Verify the mount is level and fully secured before attaching the terminal
Proper anchoring reduces movement, protects the terminal, and minimizes maintenance issues over time.
3. Manage Cables for a Clean, Professional Install
Clean cable routing is essential in customer-facing POS environments. Poor cable management can create clutter, increase wear on connectors, and detract from the overall checkout design.
Recommended practices:
- Route power and network cables through or behind the wall mount when possible
- Secure cables to prevent tension on the PAX A80 ports
- Keep wiring concealed or neatly organized to maintain a professional appearance
Well-managed cables contribute to both reliability and aesthetics in high-use environments.
