SECTION 1. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS The P-Series Port Powered Insertion Reader can be single or dual head configuration. Figure 1-1 shows the Readers, cabling configurations, and bezel configuration. The dual head configuration can read the card on insertion and removal with the magnetic stripe facing left or right. The single head configuration can read the card on insertion and removal if the stripe is oriented to match the position of the head.
P-Series Port Powered Insertion Reader CONFIGURATIONS Table 1-1 lists the part numbers, single or dual head, and head positions. Table 1-1.
Section 1. Features and Specifications “Inquiry Command” by sending status characters. The inquiry command that requests the transmission of status characters is the ESCAPE (ESC - 0x1B) character followed by “I” (0x49). Buffered Mode When a card is inserted and removed, a read attempt is made during both insertion and removal.
P-Series Port Powered Insertion Reader SPECIFICATIONS The Specifications are listed in Table 1-2. Table 1-2.
SECTION 2. INSTALLATION This section describes cabling information, mounting, and PCB layout. The installation consists of mounting the Reader and connecting the cable. The head, or heads, are installed in the factory to customer specifications. CONNECTORS The connector pin list is shown in Table 2-1. The mating connector for J4 is Molex 51021-0400. The terminals are Molex 50058-8000. Connector J5 is an optional, 3-pin, auxiliary power connector that is supplied upon request.
P-Series Port Powered Insertion Reader MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The standard orientation of the Reader is with the larger guide up as shown in Figure 2-1. The position shown offers the best protection for the heads from moisture, dust, or foreign particles. In a dual head configuration, connector J3 is wired to the head that is on the same side as the PCB. Connector J2 is wired to the head that is opposite the PCB.
Section 2. Installation The unit is supplied with a cable tie so that a user-supplied cable (or optional MagTek cable) can be securely attached. Figure 2-2. Board Layout and Cable Connections The recommended method of installation is to position the Reader between two brackets from the inside of a mounting panel, as indicated in Figure 2-3. The large gasket on the bezel presses against the bracket to prevent moisture from entering.
P-Series Port Powered Insertion Reader Figure 2-3. MagTek Bezel Mounting Position OPTIONAL MOUNTING BRACKET In applications where moisture-intrusion is a concern, it is recommended that the reader be mounted with a 4o - 5o downward angle with respect to the horizontal plane. This will allow gravity to drain away any excess moisture that may have entered into the Card Reader slot.
SECTION 3. COMMANDS, FORMATS, TIMING This section includes commands, message formats, and transmission timing. The MagTek Device Drivers for Windows, part number 30037385, may be used with the PSeries Port Powered Insertion Reader. When these drivers are used, refer to MagTek Device Driver for Windows, Programming Reference Manual, Part Number 99875125. When power is applied, the Reader transmits a sign-on ID message.

P-Series Port Powered Insertion Reader OPTIONAL J5 CONNECTOR The following note only applies if the optional connector J5 has been installed, and it is desired to operate the unit with an external power supply, instead of Port Power. The mating connector for J5 is Molex 51021-0300. J5-1 is connected to the positive terminal of a filtered DC external power supply (often marked + or Pos. The voltage should be between +5 VDC and +15 VDC.
