What do the CryptoPay LED colors mean?
Flashing Yellow: This is for out of Service Mode. The card reader will not accept a card swipe. All Self Service Bay and Vacuum card readers are shipped in this mode.
Multiple Colors Cascading Down: The Card Reader is ready to accept a card payment.
Flashing Red: This occurs during the initial power up of a card reader. It means the swiper is scanning radio channels and searching for the coordinator signal.
Three LED's flashing immediately after a card swipe is a misread of the card (try again) or the card is invalid or out of expiration.
Three red flashes after the light bar turned blue for several seconds after a card swipe means the card was denied or the card approval could not be completed.
Solid Blue: The reader is verifying the card. The light bar will turn blue while the card approval is taking place.
Solid Green: The Card was approved and the wash begins. The light bar turns green after approval and stays green until the cycle is finished.
