Compaq 380 Opto-Sensor Inputs, Rotary Pulse Generator, External SAM Ranch Interface, Optional

IntelliStripe 380

Opto-Sensor Inputs

The Main PCB provides inputs for the three opto-sensors (Front, Encode, and Rear).

Rotary Pulse Generator

The Main PCB provides input for the MagTek 75/210 bpi Rotary Pulse Generator (RPG).

External SAM Ranch Interface, Optional

The Main PCB provides resources for interconnect, securement, and power of an optional SAM Ranch PCB. The optional SAM Ranch PCB is accessed from the hatch door at the bottom of the Encoder/Reader.

Dual Color LED

The Main PCB provides facilities for a dual color, red/green PCB. The LED is located on the front bezel of the Encoder/Reader. When the unit is powered up, the LED will blink green or red until the Host commands it to a different state. Green means the unit is ready for normal operation. Red means a card is jammed in the unit and should be manually removed.

ISO-8 Smartcard Connector with Landing Switch

The Main PCB provides resources to support an interface with an ISO-8 smartcard connector with its associated landing switch. The electronics meet EMV Level 1 requirements.

3-Track Read/Encode Magnetic Head

The Main PCB supports an interface to a 3-Track Read/Encode Magnetic Head. A flex-cable circuit connects the magnetic head to the Main PCB.

DC Motor

The Main PCB supports a bidirectional drive interface to a DC motor. The motor drives the card in the forward and reverse directions in the transport. The motor can also be driven with a small “holding” current to keep a card positioned over the Smart Card contact block during a Smart Card session.

Microcontroller LED Indicator

The Main PCB supports a “watchdog” LED, which blinks on and off providing visual indication that the microcontroller is in a normal state of operation. The LED can be viewed when the bottom access hatch is removed from the enclosure.
