‘Alert Irruption’ means the terminal can no longer be used to accept transactions. Inside your card machine there is an anti-tamper proof device. If the card terminal feels it is being tampered with or if the terminal suffers a hard impact, the anti-tamper proof device will trigger and shut the terminal down. Your terminal will need to be replaced. Please contact Customer Support on 01908 354 500.
